We are dedicated to ensuring that every participant in our retreats is prepared with ongoing support throughout their journey.

Screening and Preparation...

Proper screening and preparation are essential before your experience. They ensure participant safety and well-being. Screening assesses physical and mental health, identifying any contraindications or risks. Emotional and psychological readiness is evaluated, allowing for personalized support during intense experiences. Informed consent and education provide participants with a clear understanding of the journey. Let's do a free Bufo screening together.

Intention Setting and Blockage Identification...

Intention setting involves consciously articulating your desired outcomes and goals for the journey, providing a focused framework for exploration. Blockage identification involves recognizing emotional, psychological, or energetic barriers hindering personal growth. Getting the best from your Bufo experience requires a level of preparedness. 

Support and Guidance

Support and Guidance
During your stay, we prioritize providing comprehensive support and guidance to all participants. Our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring your well-being and facilitating a transformative journey.

Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond the retreat itself.  After the retreat, you can access ongoing support and resources, including integration follow-up sessions with facilitators and integration specialists if needed. We offer guidance and tools to help you assimilate the insights from the journey into your daily life, fostering lasting positive change. Our aftercare program ensures you feel supported, empowered, and equipped to continue your personal growth journey long after the retreat.
