About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Avalon invites you to transcend your ego thanks to the most powerful sacred medicine in the world, the Bufo Alvarius toad from the Sonoran desert (Mexico), in a ceremonial and safe setting.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of consciousness we used when we created them.” - Albert Einstein.
We have created an intimate and safe container in the heart of Barcelona city for a group of up to 9 people to enable exploration beyond duality thanks to the wisdom of the Bufo Alvarius, the so-called God's Molecule (5-MeO-DMT) and bufotein (5-HO-DMT). The complete ego dissolution and “One with the Universe” experience that it elicits will provide freedom and a new perspective that will allow us to break free of limiting patterns and the grip of old traumas.
Experience with Bufo Alvarius venom is usually very immersive, and produces an extreme variation in perception. Many people describe sensations of cosmic unity, of access to non-dual consciousness and deep spiritual experiences. Some people have compared it to the experience of dying and accessing states similar to those described in Buddhist and Hindu traditions such as Nirvana or Tathagata, beyond the beyond. The loss of a sense of identity and dissolution of the ego is common, as well as oceanic sensations of merging with everything. - ICEERS International Center for Ethnobotanical Education Research and Service.

High quality, safe and sacred space.
Perhaps the best ceremony facilitation I have experienced. Beautiful, caring, warm, slow, safe. I had a pretty much flawless and profound experience with Avalon. I would highly recommend it.

Greatest experience of my life
I attended a bufo retreat held by the lovely Ness Dalga and it was a truly life-changing experience. The whole team was welcoming and accommodating from the second I signed up for the retreat and I was feeling safe the whole way to the end of the retreat. The ceremony was done with such care and warmth and attention, I always felt the caring energy from the staff. I cannot recommend it enough!

My First Bufo Experience with the Avalon Team in Barcelona
I had my first Bufo experience in Barcelona with the Avalon team on November 8th,2024. Ness and her team were incredible in guiding us through the journey! For me, it was a transformative experience, starting with meditation and leading to the Bufo inhale. At first, I felt shaking and anxiety, but then I sensed my mind and soul separating from my body. I heard a voice inside me saying, “Now, go back.” It felt like every cell in my body was infused with information, and I revisited a traumatic experience I thought I had already overcome. The journey then took me to a vision of my future “bohemian wedding,” where all my friends and family were filled with joy, and Ness, our shaman, was singing her songs. I woke up with tears of happiness, feeling deeply relieved and filled with hope. Thank you all for this incredible experience! My takeaway was to embrace my feelings, knowing that the divine has us all✨✨✨. I’m sending AYO to each of 🤍

Incredibly powerful
I recently attended a 4 day Holistic Ayahuasca Retreat with Avalon in Barcelona, and it was truly life-changing. From start to finish, everything about this experience was carefully curated and incredibly powerful. The Avalon team was not only professional but genuinely caring, supportive, and deeply loving. Each session felt thoughtfully designed to guide us through profound healing and transformation.

One aspect that stood out was how much emphasis they placed on integration. The team made sure we had the tools and support to process our experiences, which I now realize is absolutely essential for getting the most out of a retreat like this.

The accommodations were exceptional as well. The setting was peaceful and surrounded by nature, creating a perfect environment for introspection. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing a safe haven to relax and recharge.

Having shamans from the Amazon guiding our sessions brought an authenticity and power to the experience that I’ll never forget. Their wisdom and presence helped create an atmosphere of trust, which was crucial to delving deep into the journey.

On top of all that, the food was incredible. The chef put so much care and creativity into every meal, which was nourishing and delicious. Sharing meals with everyone fostered a sense of community, and I left with strong connections with people I feel truly bonded to.

It was amazing to witness each person receiving exactly what they needed. By the end, it was clear that everyone had grown in profound ways, leaving as renewed and better versions of themselves. I wholeheartedly recommend Avalon to anyone who feels called to this journey—it’s an experience that will stay with you forever.
