Retreat Highlights

  • A Path Unveiled: Your Journey to Wellness
  • Your transformative journey begins the moment you decide to join us. We start with a personalised online screening call to ensure a smooth, gentle transition into the retreat space. Our team is here for you every step of the way, providing a safe and supportive environment. All staff are first-aid trained, and a defibrillator is on-site for your peace of mind. We also give you access to our online **Skool Community** from day one, where you can join workshops and talks to prepare for your experience.
  • **Guided Exploration & Healing**
  • We've designed a powerful, holistic process to support your deepest healing.
  • * **5 MeO DMT Exploration:** Under expert guidance, you can embark on a transformative journey with **5 MeO**, with the option of 1 to 3 experiences.
  • * **Trauma-Informed Support: We integrate Non-Dual Therapy with Somatic Experiencing (SE). This body-centred approach gently helps you release trauma that may be trapped in the body, promoting deep and lasting healing. It’s a way to feel into your sensations and allow for natural release.
  • **Nurturing Your Integration**
  • The real journey of transformation unfolds as you integrate your experience. Following your ceremony, you can choose from optional workshops or simply relax and reconnect with nature on your own. We provide personalised guidance and expert advice designed by our integration specialists and me to support you on your continued wellness path. To ensure a lasting impact, we conclude your retreat with follow-up calls and provide a safe space in our **Skool community** for ongoing integration calls, workshops, and sharing.
  • **Rejuvenate & Connect**
  • At Shangriballa, you have the space and freedom to truly reconnect with yourself. Take a refreshing dip in our pristine, natural swimming pool, unwind in the sauna, and find stillness on our beautiful walking trails. You can also embrace your creativity with art therapy and join additional workshops focused on trauma release and meditation to enhance your experience.

Details of this retreat

Join our 5-star rated retreat, Shangriballa!

Are you feeling ready for a profound and deeply personal journey of transformation? At Shangriballa, our Bufo Retreat Centre, we don't just facilitate an experience; we hold a sacred space for your own awakening. We gently guide you through a holistic process that combines the immense power of 5-MeO-DMT with the wisdom of ancient teachings like non-duality and a modern, trauma-informed approach. This careful blend helps create a unique and transformative experience, where you can explore deep insights and find true healing.

Our approach is built on a foundation of care, trust, and deep understanding, which is why we've created a unique Three-Stage Process: Preparation, Ceremony, and Integration. This ensures you feel fully supported every step of the way, from the moment you decide to join us until long after you return home.

Preparation: We believe the true journey begins long before you arrive. Our facilitators offer personalized consultations and practices to help you set the right intentions and cultivate a receptive mindset. We also offer an optional Kambo ceremony the day before Bufo, which can be a deeply cleansing experience that helps the body and mind release old patterns, preparing you to surrender more fully.

Ceremony: In the safe hands of our trained facilitators, you'll be part of a powerful Bufo ceremony. This is a profound opportunity to connect with your truest essence, gain deep insights into yourself and the nature of reality, and experience a monumental shift in consciousness.

Integration: The real work happens after the ceremony. We're here to support you in weaving your insights and experiences into your daily life. Our ongoing support includes workshops, one-on-one sessions, and access to a compassionate community, ensuring your journey extends far beyond your time with us.

Our Unique, Holistic Approach
What truly sets us apart is our commitment to a holistic approach. We know that a Bufo experience is best integrated with teachings on Unity Consciousness and powerful trauma release techniques. That's why we incorporate Somatic Experiencing (SE), a gentle, body-centered therapy that helps release trauma that can be held in the body's nervous system.

By weaving together these wisdom traditions and therapeutic practices, Shangriballa offers a comprehensive and deeply compassionate approach. This unique combination helps minimize confusion and maximize the transformative potential of your journey, creating a path to true and lasting healing.

(Please note: For the comfort and safety of all our guests, we do not offer tent accommodation between October and March due to the possibility of heavy rains. We have beautiful indoor accommodations available to ensure your retreat is as peaceful and supportive as possible.)

The perfect environment for a retreat
Set and setting is the number one priority when choosing a retreat.

Lisa and Miguel along with all the other staff (it’s more like a family) at Loural provided the perfect environment for a safe, peaceful and enjoyable experience.

I was treated with loving kindness and compassion.

Lisa and Miguel hold space beautifully during ceremony and I felt completely safe the whole time.

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful seven days.
