Processes

Substance sourcing

  • Ayahuasca: our ayahuasca is sourced from Iquitos in the Amazon rainforest from a reliable source that we personally know from our time living and working there. Our ayahuasca brew is pure ayahuasca and chakruna, the safest form of the medicine. It is potent, reliable and consistent and the favourite medicine we have come across in all of our time working with ayahuasca.
  • Bufo Alvarius: The Bufo Alvarius medicine or “Toad Poison” is harvested by Bufo Alvarius healers from Comcaac Seri Community in the Sonoran Desert, Mexico. The toad poison is extracted with care and consideration, by gently pushing on the paratoid glands behind the eyes, and squeezed onto a piece of piece of glass. It is dried overnight ready for administration in a Bufo Alvarius ceremony from the next day onwards. It is safe to extract half of the poison from the toad without harm, so that it can continue to defend itself in the wild after being re-released back into its natural habitat in the Sonoran Desert.

FAQs

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Due to the intimate nature of our retreats, our retreats are non-refundable, we require participants to purchase comprehensive travel insurance upon booking the retreat

How do you calculate dosage of plant medicine and substances?

All medicine dosages are intuitively guided within the principles of trauma-informed care, based upon the participants intake form-health and wellness screening and mutual agreement with the participants.

On our ayahuasca retreats the first ayahuasca dosage in the first ceremony is a conservative amounts of quarter cup with opportunity for a second dosage later in the ceremony. Each ceremony has up to two dosages of ayahuasca. From this second dosage and dosages in subsequent ceremonies, participants are encouraged to decide their own dosage which we ensure are within the realms of safety and trauma informed care. Particpants are always reminded that they do not need to drink all the ayahuasca served them into the cup.

Bufo Alvarius dosages are intuitively guided, within the principles of trauma-informed care, mutually agreed and weighed out in-front of the participant. Full dosages are between 40-50mg depending on the participant and mutual agreement. If a smaller /non-full dosage is wanted then this is also available to participants.
