Unlock Your True Potential with the Power of Bufo Alvarius

We dont offer tent accomodation from October as there is a possibiblity of heavy rains this time of year.

Are you ready to embark on a profound spiritual journey that can transform your life? Look no further! At Shangriballa, our Bufo Alvarius Retreat Centre, we offer a unique and transformative experience, combining the power of the sacred Bufo Alvarius toad medicine with the wisdom of ancient teachings such as Advaita Vedanta and Ramana Maharshi.

Our Three-Stage Process: Preparation, Ceremony, and Integration

We understand that a truly transformative experience requires careful preparation, an immersive ceremony, and dedicated integration. Our three-stage process ensures that you receive the utmost support and guidance throughout your journey:

1. Preparation: We believe thorough preparation is essential for a safe and meaningful experience. Our experienced facilitators will guide you through a preparation process, including personalised consultations, educational resources, and practices to help you cultivate the right mindset and intentions. This process will be continued when you arrive for your retreat.
We serve Kambo the day before Bufo to help with the release process and prepare you to surrender better during your Bufo experience.

2. Ceremony: Under the guidance of our trained facilitators, you will participate in a powerful Bufo Alvarius ceremony. This sacred ceremony offers a profound opportunity to connect with the divine, gain deep insights into yourself and the nature of reality, and experience a profound shift in consciousness.

3. Integration: We recognise that true transformation happens after the ceremony. Our team provides ongoing support to help you integrate your experiences into your daily life. We offer integration workshops, one-on-one sessions, and access to a supportive community, ensuring that your journey extends beyond the retreat.

The Power of Unity Consciousness and Ancient Teachings

At Shangriballa, we firmly believe in the power of unity consciousness—the realization that we are all interconnected and part of a greater whole. To help facilitate this understanding, we draw upon the timeless teachings of Advaita Vedanta and Ramana Maharshi. These teachings provide a framework for understanding the nature of existence, the illusion of separation, and the path to self-realisation.

Why Choose Bufo Alvarius with our Unique Approach?

We believe an experience with Bufo Alvarius is best integrated with the teachings of Unity Consciousness. By incorporating these ancient wisdom traditions, Shangriballa offers a comprehensive and holistic approach that minimises confusion and maximises the transformative potential of your journey.

Here's what sets us apart:

1. Experienced Facilitators: Our team of experienced facilitators has deep knowledge and expertise in Bufo Alvarius ceremonies, spiritual practices, and integration processes. You can trust that you will be in safe hands throughout your journey. We have up-to-date first aid certification and a defibrillator on site.

2. Personalized Approach: We understand that each individual's journey is unique. That's why we offer personalised consultations and tailor our support to meet your needs, ensuring you receive the guidance and care you require.

3. Beautiful Retreat Setting: Shangriballa is nestled in the serene landscapes of Central Portugal. Surrounded by nature's beauty, it is the perfect environment to explore and deepen your spiritual experiences.

4. Supportive Community: Join a community of like-minded individuals committed to personal growth and spiritual exploration. Connect with fellow participants, share your experiences, and continue your journey together long after the retreat ends.

Oneness experienced.
I’ve been to Shangriballa for a 7 day Bufo retreat and it was fantastic. It’s hard to put into words what I experienced at the retreat or what a profound impact it has had on my life so I will not go there, however I’ll say that the impact was huge and very positive.

Lisa and Miguel were great hosts and I immediately felt at ease in their presence, which is important when undergoing such a personal journey. They were excellent at preparing us for the experience, and the care and love I felt before and after was out of this world. True genuine humans. I look forward to eventually coming back again!

One more note about the experience - if you feel called to it - definitely don’t hesitate and do it, though keep in mind that this is not the case for everyone. Bufo gives what you need, not what you want, so keep an open mind and be prepared to let go.

Much love!

Absolutely beyond all expectations!
I’m at a loss for words to express my gratitude to Lisa & Miguel for these 7 days. It was pure magic. ✨

The opportunity to touch the "infinite" with something as finite as the mind is an experience that will always remain beyond words (you simply can't grasp it). The event’s organization, the safe space created by the entire team of organizers (including contributions from Cathrine and Julia), was at the highest possible level. And Lisa’s experience, her knowledge, insights, and the way she individually guided each participant smoothly throughout the entire workshop – this is something that cannot be priced in money – absolutely priceless!

Everything I’ve mentioned above is incredibly helpful for integrating everything we can experience with them afterward!

And finally, I cannot forget the entire group of participants (of which I had the honor to be a part)... wow, without a doubt, there wasn’t even a hint of coincidence here, as each of us was a key to unlocking something grand in the next person – I bow to you all, it was truly wonderful to be a part of this amazing spectacle called Life! 🫂💙

What a show...
What a cosmic joke...

Definitely 6 stars out of 5 possible :)
