Bufo Alvarius Ceremony in Barcelona, Spain

ARCHETYPE: Mother. Nurturing, gentle and caring feminine energy creator of safety and security feelings. PERSONAL JOURNEY: Listening to the call of her spirit towards personal development and what was her true mission, Ness began approaching different specialties on human behaviour and other holistic therapies. Thus she began to approach medicines, which have ended up becoming her path. Among other medicines, she learned about Ayahuasca from her Master of the Shipibo tradition in Peru, where she was given permission to share the sacred ceremony, in which she connected with the music and this powerful healing. Later she has continued and continues to expand her knowledge by visiting the jungle regularly and learning from different traditions of the ancient tribes of Putumayo (Colombia), from her Grandparents and Grandmothers. At the same time, she learned about Bufo Alvarius in Mexico with her Teacher and sister and different facilitators who gave her their blessing to bring it to Europe. As a shawoman, Ness brings a unique approach to the ceremonial space and the practice itself. Her maternal, nurturing, very gentle and caring feminine energy creates in us a feeling of safety and security which leads us into a state of deeper abandonment. She believes that the ceremonial space is not only a healing space but also a co-creation space where everyone participates by singing, chanting, dancing or playing music. Her dedication to the people with whom she works reflects her devotion to medicine and service and speaks volumes about her integrity and sense of responsibility. Her ceremonies are very lively. Ness and her family members, all musicians and singers, make sure that live music accompanies our journey from the beginning till the end to provide us with a very broad, heartwarming and enjoyable sensory experience. Eternal apprentice of life, medicines and healing, dedicated in soul to Spirituality, the purpose of her life is to be at the service of Love and Wisdom, at the service of humanity for its highest and highest purpose. Contribute to all human beings awakening to this way of walking the world. And for that she understands that it is completely necessary to look within, clean, unblock, break patterns, heal wounds, return to the path of the heart and the joy of living and get rid of everything that limits us to being our best version. ROLE: Medicine woman. Guardian and musician of sacred ceremony space.

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.

ARCHETYPE: Loving caregiver. Cheerful servant of magic. Explorer and teacher of healing methods. PERSONAL JOURNEY: I am a citizen of the world. I live in Barcelona but have lived in London, Italy, Japan, Russia, Croatia, and Hong Kong. I am the daughter of women healers. My grandmother was a witch doctor, and my maternal grandmother delivered babies. I grew up in the middle of Brazilian magic and rituals… the “Orixás” and oriental philosophy (PL—Perfect Liberty). My mother always took me to participate in ceremonies and spiritual rituals, teaching me everything about plants and herbs that heal. I grew up with a very strong spiritual background; since I was a little girl, my mediumship always guided me until one day, through a dream, I discovered a tumour under my collarbone that months later brought me the diagnosis of an aggressive breast cancer in an advanced stage. The cancer brought me the opportunity to find my real purpose in life, to grow, and to develop aspects of my life that were ignored, dormant, and even unknown. I developed my innate talents and learned to use my spirituality, intuition and mind power to heal myself. During all my cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, I had no side effects, I didn’t lose my hair, and even today, I take medicine to block the hormones, and I am better than before! It was then that I decided to share what I learned with people. If I made it, everyone could, too, and that’s when I became an international speaker and began to inspire people with my story throughout the countries where I lived. I wrote my first book, “Be Your Own Miracle,” in 2017, where I teach what I learned from the cancer experience.

But I knew that my soul needed more… and that’s when I started to specialise in the powers of the mind. I became a Master in NLP with the technique's creator, Dr. Richard Bandler. I became a Neuro Coach MCC, Access Bars, and essential oils educator, and currently, I’m finishing a post-graduation in neuroscience and psychology.

I have contributed to several other works as co-author in the Collections “Extraordinary Leader”, “The Trainer 1", “Extraordinary Women”, and my upcoming book “The Essential 7 Senses – How to use your Mind to Live, Laugh and Love".

I created the “Essential Mind” training for people who, at some point in their lives, have had cancer present in their lives, manifest their dreams or simply to prevent future illnesses. In it, I encompassed everything I learned during these years, from the spiritual to the scientific part, connecting the mind, the brain and the energy.

And going deeper into the energy part, I became a holistic therapist using a therapy discovered by NASA to treat astronauts, PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field therapy), to balance the central energy points, such as the meridians and chakras, energetically recharge (electrons) the cells, and stimulate brain areas like the pineal gland and hemispheres.

I created an international group for women in Hong Kong, “Empowered Sisterhood Entrepreneurs,” which, with globalisation, is now all over the world and has as its objective to guide, inspire, and help them find their best version in all areas of life… professional, intellectual, emotional, relationship, and spiritual (energy).

In Brazil and England, I support individually or in groups through seminars and trainings, online or in person, people who are going through or have already gone through cancer or who want to develop other capabilities and prevent future diseases.

Life is so wonderful that it brings everything we need for our evolution. I never doubted that until one day, I had my first experience with Madre Ayahuasca in Brazil, and it was like opening the door to the world where I belonged. I participated in other ceremonies in Barcelona with Waxy Yawanawá and Ness Dalgà, where I connected all the points of my life, mainly my spirituality, profoundly reconnecting me with all my ancestors. My grandparents united me back to Mother Earth, making everyone a big family!

My mission is my purpose: to teach people that it is possible to heal yourself before you even get sick.

ROLE: Access Bars and Essential Mind therapist. Guardian of sacred ceremony space. Neuro Coach and mind trainer.

ARCHETYPE: Loyal and smiling companion. Energetic learner of life. Problem solver. Friend of the sacred fire. PERSONAL JOURNEY: At the beginning of 2018, I was not well, I did not assume maturing, growing up, and becoming an adult. I looked longingly at my previous stage. That winter my brother invited me to an Ayahuasca retreat and since I have always liked trying new things, I agreed. After a very difficult night, I understood that growing up is good. From that retreat, I began a committed path of traveling; ceremonies of all kinds, readings, meditation, and breathing became very important practices in my daily life as they are helping me to better understand myself, adapt to the constant changes in life, and find higher goals and visions that became my purpose. This purpose is about the law regarding plant medicines, ancestral practices, and ways of healing. Today, protecting plant medicines, protecting participants’ right to choose sacred medicines to heal, and fighting peacefully and consciously for its legislation were the primary motivators that guided me to be part of the Avalon family.
