Ursula began her spiritual quest 34 years ago in Slovenia when she started to participate in a Celtic and Navajo sweat lodge, while also working with medicinal herbs alongside her mother. The journey has guided her to Mexico, where she began her healing work with biomagnetic therapies and herbal healing. Fourteen years ago, she met her husband Francisco Barnett Morales, who is a Haaco cama (medicine man) of the Comcaac (Seri) tribe in Sonora. Since then, she has started to learn from him and has begun to facilitate the sacred Toad medicine, while continuing to work with biomagnetic therapies. She is the president of the health committee of the tribe and is actively involved in many social support projects.

To help you feel at your optimal best organic and locally sourced (where possible) meals are included during your stay with us.
Each participant will be assessed before entering the program through a compulsory application form and screening. Due to the powerful nature of psychedelic ceremonies and the impact that others sharing the space can have, we limit this retreat to 6 selected people.
Your Experience:
This retreat is designed for those seeking a genuine spiritual connection and a transformative experience. It offers a rare opportunity to delve into the rich traditions of the Seri people, gain spiritual insights, and be guided by their elders and medicine people.
The Bufo ceremony is one of incredible intimacy, great depth, and beauty. It is an environment conducive to the free and unrestricted expression of the deep and abiding Love that unfolds during a journey of higher consciousness.
This is one of the most powerful entheogenic experiences a person can have, and often provides opening and revealing deep states of "source consciousness" within the Self.
It is not possible to guarantee what your ceremony will be like. However, these are some of the common results experienced from these ceremonies.
Come join us for a life-changing journey that will awaken your spirit and bring you closer to the heart of nature.
