Gabriel Clerici Epis

Gabriel is among the rare few non-indigenous persons to be legally authorized from the Pluricultural Governor of Sonora to enter the territories between Hermosillo and Punta Chueca to collect the Bufo Alvarius medicine directly from the wild toads on the territory and authorized and registered as practitioner to serve the medicine in sessions. Bio: Growing up in Central America in the 70's, Gabriel has naturally developed a sense of syncretic practice of spiritual energy and philosophy. 15 years ago he initiated his discovery and learning of plant medicines with hierbatero Lucho Panduro and ayahuasquero Alessio Prefumo in Tamshiyacu (Perù) and then Bolivia, Chile and Italy. After an experience living in Cuba, cooperating with Orisha Yoruba priests of African Santeria, Gabriel lived 10 years in South America, where he continued the deepening of his research by dwelling with indigenous communities in remote mountainous regions, participating to rural development projects and to the ritualistic tradition in the Andes, then moving to Mexico to learn the utilization of Bufo Alvarius. He is interested in the diffusion of diverse instruments for the spirit. His idea is to connect more people to the information, the preparation and basic mindset to approach powerful spiritual tools such as natural plant medicines. His effort is to improve the process, the communication and the experience of the sessions and therapies and render them available to almost everybody. He believes on pulling down the barriers of spiritual elitism. In helping these wonderful "instruments" to face the fascinating modern challenges, as an inside-out revolution. Gabriel aims to contribute for compatibility among and beyond different environments, cultural realities and melting down modern and ancient ideological schisms, the barriers of language and discrimination.

1. Half-Day Morning Session. Be back home/hotel by lunchtime
2. Single session or small group session (maximum 8 participants)
3. Caring Expert Facilitators

We invite You to the most intense and 100% natural, fast-acting entheogenic DMT for a powerful synesthetic, life-changing experience.
We are glad to guide and assist you, whether you are a neophyte, or have already experienced DMT, either with Bufo Alvarius or plant-based derivates.

Procedures of Session:
1) At time scheduled registration form at the Studio or Jungle site
2) Preparation time with facilitator: immerse in relaxing your body and mind... remember to breath The mantra is: LET GO...
Find your comfortable posture...
3) Ready to initiate the Bufo Alvarius Experience. Brief and simple instructions on most efficient inspiration technique.
The experience is relatively intense but brief. You will be immersed in a non-intruding and soft live soundscape of melodies.
4) THE PROCESS closely monitored by the facilitators in a safe and non-pervasive way.
5) "soft landing" and integration back from the experience. We offer fruits and water.
6) End of session, without fret. For those that wish to express and communicate we have a post-session integration time. Fpr those that prefer an introspective process, we totally respect your space and do not "bother" you by questioning you. This is the subtle moment for the facilitator to sensibly understand your state and flow with it.

1.) Minimum 6-hours fasting (no food) before experience. If the session is scheduled for the afternoon, have an early light and natural vegeterian breakfast

A powerful experience

The experience was powerful and I learned a lot from it. Gabriel helped me to feel relaxed and comfortable and answered any questions I had before guiding me throughout my journey and then helping me to process it after. I would highly recommend this experience and shaman to others. He was friendly, knowledgable and an excellent guide.

A couple of small things that might be useful to know: Be sure to have your ticket when arriving at the site or a working local phone, as the security men at the gate were reluctant to let me in until Gabriel arrived. It seemed a little unsafe at first as it was far away from the city and there was no one else around but it was fine.

Bufo with Rene

Я влюбился в музыку Rene. Он заполнил все пространство любовью и заботой. Он просто лучший. Все просто было волшебно. Если вы ищите незабываемый опыт тогда вам нужно идти к нему на индивидуальную церемонию. Спасибо тебе Rene

Fell short

The location and setting of the ceremony was very nice. The facilitator was great as far as creating a safe space and beautiful ceremony. The issue was the dosage. We did not experience the molecule. 20 mg of sapo will yield 3 to 3.6 MG of 5meo. That is not enough. We were given a second dose but still was very low. If you ask me have you tried 5meo, I would have to say no. We indicated that we did not experience the expected results. Maybe it was because we are older and did not properly explain our previous psychedelic experiences. Still looking

Sunset Double Birthday Private Ceremony

My partner and I could not have asked for a better 1st time experience! From the process of setting up the ceremony with Gabriel, all the information provided, all questions were answered clearly, the support, flexibility (as our flight was behind which made us late), to the space setting, energy, patience to make us feel welcomed and safe, to the time given to allow the medicine to work it's magic from start to finish.

Augustina is living her true calling. From her voice, her movements, her role in the ceremony, the instuments she played creating powerful healing music and beautiful voice when singing/humming. She knew exactly when the music needed to be changed and when silence was needed. The energy she provides can put anyone at ease (mind you, my partner is an anxious person and she felt safe).

I would definitely plan for a minimum of 2 sessions with an extra day to process. The amazing thing about it is, you have them for support before, during and even long after the ceremony. We plan on going back to take a whole weekend as we only had time for one session. Can't wait to go back!!!

Highly recommended!

Thorough, Patient, and Understanding

Gabriel, was very patient with my partner and I. Being that it was our first time, he was very patient with all our questions and answered them clearly. Post medicine, he was very supportive and understanding to our experience. Can't wait to come back for our weekend getaway.
