Benjo Podlech

ARCHETYPE: Grounded tiger that pushes the limits to wake up the soul potential. Spiritual comedian. PERSONAL JOURNEY: My mission in this life is to serve to life. I’m a warrior and a guardian who protects life and its expressions, helping people all over the world to feel the sacredness of being alive and walking with the truth of their spirit on earth. My heart and life are dedicated to this mission – every moment I can accompany someone on this journey becomes sacred. I find great joy in creativity, humor, depth, spirituality, Mother Earth, four elements and deciphering people’s mysteries to awaken their potential. My personal journey has been about overcoming my shyness, living with the presence of spirits since I was five years, self-judgments, insecurity and deaths. These experiences were guiding me towards opening my heart, strengthening my spirit and continuously creating a better version than the previous one. My first test was learning to live with my gifts of interacting with the spirits without feeling afraid or feeling that I am crazy, to understand that it is a beautiful tool. The second was to overcome the loneliness and rejection of many people for years, to accept my purity and my nobility. And the third was the deaths of loved ones like my father, grandfather, grandmother and going through the depths of pain and sadness. As a result of which, I created an inner diamond of unconditional love to myself and to all life. The year 2000 I started in Reiki, then studied psychology and philosophy, bach flower remedies, NLP, ontological coaching, systemic coaching plus experience in ceremonies in Latin America and Europe with sacred medicines since 2011. My journey of twenty years working with over 5.000 people, today gives me strength and knowledge to accompany people in the best way: with closeness, warmth, love, excellence and humility. I have developed a very strong bond with Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Magic Mushrooms. I am here to serve people, to accompany them in those dimensions of the mystery of the great spirit, to protect the space of their journeys and to open their hearts so that life has the opportunity to express love and creation in human beings. ROLE: Guardian and musician of sacred ceremony space with 10 years of experience with sacred medicines. Psychologist. Facilitator of guidance and integration. Divine masculine circles.

Alejandro Carbó

ARCHETYPE. Indigenous knight. Light warrior who grounds and empowers to improve the world.

PERSONAL JOURNEY. My name is Alejandro Carbó and I am deeply passionate about creating beauty. Passion is nothing but love turned into action, it is the fire that guide us towards expressing who we really are. The product of that love, then, became Avalon. A great canvas where I paint with conscience and, together with a wonderful family, we trace colours, textures and shapes in order to share what has changed our lives and helps us create the highest version of ourselves.⁠My personal story has three deep wounds and revelations, perhaps some of them we share. The first is the fear of suffering, of being hurt, and therefore transforming it into the acceptance of pain. The second is being trapped in the mind and the thoughts and therefore remembering to connect with my feelings and be in the present. The third is the attachment to my individuality and personal identity and therefore surrendering to the dissolution of my ego.⁠After going through two years Neuro Linguistic Programming training, two months backpacking in north India, ten day Vipassana meditation program, and one year focused in nutrition and movement, in my process of self-knowledge the Great Spirit blessed me with the encounter with the sacred Ayahuasca. At this moment all the pieces of the chaotic puzzle of my life fell into place and made sense. I remembered who I really am, I remembered that all the answers are within me, I remembered to love myself and I remembered what I’m here for.

ROLE. Orchestra conductor. Guardian and musician of sacred ceremony space. Guidance and integration.

Mauricio Albanés

ARCHETYPE: Sage. Conventional and alternative medicine integrator. Seeker and sharer of truth. PERSONAL JOURNEY: I was born in 1963 in Atiquizaya, El Salvador. I am a medical doctor from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, Mexico in 1986 and I am in service since then. I post graduated in general surgeon from the Central University of Venezuela in 1999. I have experience in emergency surgery, shock trauma and laparoscopic surgery. My path in the spiritual world begins with a near death experience in 2017, a heart attack. Since then I began to study thanatology -the study of death-, I investigated and innovated in neuroscience and found the best references on the study of the soul in Jewish Kabbalah. Shortly after, in 2018, the sacred medicines completely changed the lives of me and my family members. Since then I have dedicated myself to observe and study the effects, benefits and contraindications with entheogenic substances specifically: Ayahuasca, Yopo, Jurema, Bufo Alvarius, Psilocybin, Iboga and also Kambó. Currently I advise a group of independent facilitators, to reduce risks and achieve more benefits with the proper use of these substances. I have created the Kintsugi method. I have made multiple trips to many countries as a medical advisor, lecturer, teacher and as a facilitation supervisor. I consider that my humanistic and spiritual vision of health provides a transcendent approach to medicine that allows us to integrate multiple perspectives such as shamanic, allopathic and naturopathic. ROLE: Medical advisor.

Ammy Plex

ARCHETYPE: Loyal caregiver. Devoted and compassionate listener. Nurturing and empathetic server.

PERSONAL JOURNEY: Growing up in a fairytale forest in Sweden I experienced the healing power of nature at an early age. With a curious and sensitive mind, I craved the balance between the stimulus of a big city and the healing source of nature. After burnout at twenty-five, I found healing in yoga and meditation and practice daily since 2011. The path of deep inner work and spiritual practice became my medicine. Yoga and meditation felt like coming home to my body. A place where I could breathe and my anxious mind could go quiet. As I could feel the intense healing process after my burnout I went to classes four times a week. After a challenge of daily practice 100 days in a row I studied a 1-year teacher training for the international ISHTA-yoga in Stockholm. Training with well-known teachers such as Swedish Ulrica Norberg and Sarah and Alan Finger from New York City. ISHTA stands for Integrated Science of Hata, Tantra, and Ayurveda. Finishing my training I went to an Ayurvedic Ashram in India to train with a traditional yoga master. Always questioning everything I wondered what else there was in life than what was already pre-set for us in society. After realizing that the use of alcohol wasn’t serving me at all I quit and found that life was way richer than I thought -with all my senses fully onboard. After moving to Barcelona I came in contact with plant medicines for the first time in 2021. Starting with Magic Mushrooms ceremonies. It has been a beautiful journey that led me to my first Ayahuasca ceremony in 2022, connecting me with divine love and gratitude. Today my daily yoga and meditation practice is with me wherever I go and is a place for me to come back to the center. Understanding that everything I do with my body will have an impact on my mind, I’ve been trying different ways over the years to optimize my health and wellness. What time to go to sleep, what and when to eat, movement, and relationships - which lead me to my deep interest in biohacking. Life might be a rollercoaster sometimes but with my daily routines I stay centered. I’m deeply passionate about health, biohacking, and spirituality. You will find me in cacao ceremonies, ecstatic dances, breath works, and biohacking events. I believe that when we prioritize our own well-being, our unique brilliance comes to life.

ROLE: Traveler's companion. Assistant.

Pati Puente

ARCHETYPE: Caring huntress. Grounding presence. Expanded states of consciousness passionate explorer.

PERSONAL JOURNEY: My name is Pati Puente and I started my inner journey in 2010 on a quest to discover ways to mitigate the pain I knew to be so familiar and to find inner peace. I wanted to understand who I was and if there was more to life than my eyes could see. I first discovered meditation and practiced different modalities over the years. Then, my adventurous and explorative essence led me onto a path of personal development that naturally led me to plant medicine work. I had my first Ayahuasca ceremony in 2013, followed by a one-week Vipassana silence retreat and a three-month backpacking solo trip to India. The combination of these events in a very short period changed my life, and the spiritual path became my way of life. I soon became very interested in plant medicine and psychedelic journeys, and as an avid psychonaut, I explored medicines like Magic Mushrooms, Bufo Alvarius, and San Pedro, amongst others. I decided to turn my passion into my purpose and way of living and enrolled in a three-year Grofian Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Holotropic Breathwork training by Grof Legacy. I combine the practice of Psychedelic Therapy with other therapeutic modalities like IFS (Internal Family Systems) or Sound Meditation. I have worked for established organizations in the Psychedelic sector such as Beckley Med Foundation and Spinoza. I love being of service and guiding people to connect with the deepest parts of who they are. I have vast experience navigating the mysteries of the unknown and am not afraid to dive into the depths of consciousness. Let me hold your hand and dive deep together.

ROLE: Guardian of the sacred ceremony space. Facilitator of guidance and integration. Holotropic breathwork facilitator.

Nathalie Van Den Hombergh

ARCHETYPE: Amazon woman. Explorer of the depths of the mind and body to provide order and structure. PERSONAL JOURNEY: Oh hello you, My name is Nathalie and I am in love with life itself. I love to create order and structure in situations and doing jigsaw puzzles are my kind of meditation. I’ve always been a people’s person and fascinated by our behaviour and decision making processes. Through the events in my life and my personal challenges, I’ve gotten to know myself on a deep level. As a former dancer I’ve been around the block when it comes to integration. I mean, I can talk for an eternity about the perfect pirouette; but the only way to master it is to just DO IT! Personal development has been a passion of mine for more than half of my life by now. I’ve learned so much about who I am, through movement, that I couldn’t not pass that wisdom on. That’s why I’ve been teaching for over ten years now and a coach for five years. Sometimes we experience that going inwards, towards our emotions, is a scary thing. Know that we fully understand you. Remember that whatever we practice, we make perfect. Taking that first step together with others can make it all so much easier. My, and our, arms are wide open for all that is within you. You may feel welcome. ROLE: Facilitator of guidance and integration. Safe space and movement sessions.

Details of this retreat

Be part of a modern reinterpretation of the daytime Huachuma (San Pedro) ceremony hike. An offering to the four elements, a sailing journey in the magical waters of north Ibiza. For advanced.

The use of Huachuma -the original Quechua pronunciation for the San Pedro cactus- is among the oldest of the different ancestral psychoactive plants, from 6.800 BCE. The name is attributed to the belief that just as St Peter holds the keys to heaven, the effects of the cactus allow users to reach heaven while still on earth.

San Pedro mesas and hikes in northern Peru and Ecuador are the most traditional ceremonial settings. We have created a modern reinterpretation of the original space of consciousness and reconnection with nature—a sailing journey in a 34-foot solar catamaran in Ibiza.

Welcome to this avant-garde proposal for developing awareness and integral well-being thanks to the tremendous heart-opening capabilities of San Pedro, a masculine plant spirit commonly referred to as grandfather.

Having previous experience with sacred medicines and/or psychedelics and knowing how to swim are essential requirements to join this retreat.

Men's retreat at Avalon

I've recently attended a men's retreat in Ibiza at Avalon.
I came to the retreat not exactly knowing what to expect and left with the most wonderful new experiences, a new outlook on life, friendships and feeling of belonging and brotherhood I can imagine.

The space in Ibiza is a wonderful place and the planning of the event was nothing short of perfect. Every second I felt cared for, safe and in a loving environment. The food prepared by Abel Jalal was incredibly delicious and made with such love and joy. The ceremonies were held by Benjo Podlech, who always created a light-hearted atmosphere, but at the same time radiated the necessary seriousness so you know you are in capable hands and can feel safe.

This was my second retreat with Avalon, but it surely will not be the last one. Every person involved at Avalon I've met so far is a wonderful human being that really cares about what they do and puts so much care and love into every detail. I recommend Avalon retreats to everyone who wants to participate in a ceremony in a safe and loving space. Read More

A family was born in our men’s retreats.

A seed of love was planted in our hearts.
