- Detailed Preparation Guidelines
- 1 Private Ceremony with Flower Bath, Introductory Dose and Possibility to Increase Dosage within the Same Session
- Personal Crystal as a Token for Your Experience

You can also book some nights here. I recommend this for integration since the area where I live is very peaceful and quiet and very close to the beach (5min walking). We are close to the town as well (7min walking). After experiences with bufo, we tend to be very sensitive to our surroundings (noises, people, crowds, etc.) so it is nice to be able to retreat in a quiet place in nature to let the echoes of the medicine settle in.

THE CEREMONY

A ceremony includes:
-Time to Arrive
-Aromatic Flower Bath
-Light Somatic Exercises
-Breathwork
-Practicing the method of inhaling
-Opening the Ceremony
-Taking the medicine
-Closing the Ceremony
-Time for Questions and Integration

A Bufo AIvarius ceremony takes between 2 to 4 hours in total (arriving, preparation, ceremony, integration). On the day of the ceremony, you are guided throughout the whole experience. This is a 1-on-1 private ceremony. So I will be fully present for you and your process. There will be no other participants or people present.

Since this is a private ceremony we can go at your pace and work with personalized doses. You can take the medicine multiple times within the same ceremony as long as we stay within the safe range of accumulated dosage. Most people choose to take the medicine 2 times within the same ceremony (an introductory dose and a higher dose).

I prepare the space physically and energetically beforehand. When you arrive, we will first take some time to settle into the space together and address any further doubts or questions you might have. We then continue with some yogic exercises for the body and mind. We will also practice the method of taking the medicine together, so you feel comfortable.

During the ceremony, I play live music from shamanic instruments and I sing to guide you and add to the magic.

The echoes of the experience continue to be felt long after the ceremony. The resonance of the medicine allows for deep meditation and contemplation for months.

Upon booking, I will reach out to you and we will complete the following preparation steps:
1) Finalizing a date and time for the ceremony
2) I will send you a detailed intake file to fill out containing a medical questionnaire
3) I will send you detailed preparation and integration guidelines
4) We will have a preparation call to get to know each other

LOCATION

The Ceremony takes place in my luscious jungle garden. I live a bit outside San Augustinillo (the town next to Mazunte) in a quiet area and 5min walking from the ocean. The space is very private and it is beautiful to be able to have a ceremony in nature. The resonance of nature's high vibration can be clearly felt when taking the medicine. Afterwards, you can go for a dip in the ocean to enjoy the echoes of the experience and a deeply felt connection with mother nature.

I recommend not booking flights and transportation right away. But wait until we are able to fully confirm your ceremony (sometimes people have contra-indications which do not allow them to work with bufo). If you do want to go ahead and book flights already, please don't book a flight within 24h after your ceremony.

A bit more about bufo alvarius:

Bufo Alvarius is the most powerful entheogenic medicine known to mankind. The Sacred Medicine, given to us by toads from the Sonora Desert**, works in a very loving way and generates immense healing and spiritual elevation.

The medicine is inhaled as vapor and the effects are felt within a few seconds and with great intensity. The peak of the experience begins in less than 1 minute and last for about 5-15 minutes. After the peak, the intensity slowly fades. Most people feel residual effects for up to an hour after having smoked the substance.

The dominant psycho-active compounds in the medicine are bufotenine and 5-MeO-DMT. 5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine) is a natural neuro-transmitter in the human brain. We produce this molecule in small quantities every night when we are in our deepest and most regenerative phase of sleep.

Our brain produces larger elevated of 5-MeO-DMT during moments of transcendence, i.e. when we are born, when we have a near-death experience, when we are in prolonged deep meditation and when we die.

Since many describe the experience with the medicine as ‘feeling God’, the medicine is also called the ‘Spirit-’ or ‘God MolecuIe'.

**I exclusively work with ethical sources for my medicine. If you are considering to participate in a 5-MeO-DMT / Bufo Alvarius ceremony, please verify the source of the medicine you will be working with.

Highly recommended
Isa is the most amazing Shaman you could ask for. She has nothing but love and guides you through the process start to finish. At no point do you feel unsafe and at all points all you feel is love! This experience is highly rated and I intend to return one day.

(Also thank you Tarek!! :D)

Bufo experience Mazunte with Isa
Isa was very good at helping me feel so comfortable and safe. Her way with the tea bath and spirit cleanse allowed me to open up fully to be ready to embrace all that came.
The journalling really helped me to focus on what I needed to focus on.
I released so much anger.
I just feel so much more at peace with my faults and with my strengths. I don’t put up with what I use to any more, I love myself deeper and I strive for better because of it and I thank Isa for all of this. I will go back one day. Thank you Isa.

What I was looking for
While I don't think psychedelics are for everyone, and it is important to be honest with yourself and your guide / host, I did find this to be exactly what I needed. My experience was primarily an emotional release. I had been particularly affected by symptoms of my CPTSD and BPD following the end of my marriage and triggered into being stuck in unexpressed grief, anxiety, dissociation, and emotional paralysis. I had the intention of moving my stuck energy and seeking clarity. I surrendered to the road medicine - which I think was important because it is very powerful. I felt safe and grounded in my intention though I was naturally a little nervous in anticipation. Just laying on a mat on the ground in Isa's backyard in San Agustinillo after having done the allusions and prayers and meditation. My experience was that it came on strong and right away I was transported somewhere else. I don't remember anything else except that I engaged with my grief and the paradox of my inability to let go or stay with a marriage that was no longer working. I wept and cried more than I ever have and subsequently was able to slowly shift my emotional dynamic. Much of that work was through some somatic work beginning with Ximena Hridaya also in San Agustinillo - and my masseuse and psychotherapist back home. My only qualm was my wrong expectation that there would be more in the way of integrative work included but I understand now that that is a larger process that I needed to facilitate with other helpers, which I did. Thank you Isa for holding and protecting the space for me to have this important and healing experience!

So much more than I could have imagined
Thanks to Isa for creating the perfect space for transformation, while allowing the guest the freedom to have their own moments with god. I’m already planning my next trip to see her down in Mazunte and strongly recommend her guidance and powerful presence to any seeking a deeply profound experience!

My first Bufo Alvarius Experience and It's Beautiful.
I’ve done a couple of research before I found Isa. And I truly am blessed to have met her. I love how detailed and articulate she is in introducing the process and preparation for me months before the ceremony. My one-to-one session was intimate and personal, she held the space for me in a safe and peaceful environment, giving me all the breathing space I needed to experience and coming into contact when I needed her guidance. She’s wonderfully powerful and amazing. A truly life-changing revelation, I am in bliss. Thank you very much Isa. :)
