Bufo Alvarius Institute was born out of deep gratitude for the medicine and the longing to share its power and healing benefits in a safe and sacred way. While Bufo Alvarius Institute is our official name, our magical name is Alva Nura, which means luminous birth. We feel deeply inspired by the profound impact this sacred medicine has and we are honoured to guide you in your personal methamorphosis, such that you can be reborn into the light.
This retreat takes place at and exclusive and secluded oceanfront resort in Mexico. The resort is located in a natural reserve, surrounded by wild beaches, untouched nature and a laguna with natural bioluminescence.

My Bufo experience with Isa
Isa was a wonderful guide. She helped me prepare for the ceremony in advance with useful information to help me take advantage of the full experience. Her calm and positive nature was very important for me as this was my first experience with Bufo. Being well prepared is very important, Isa was there throughout the whole process starting with the physical stretching and the breath work in addition to helping me to clear my mind ahead of the journey. Once in the journey, Isa's calm presence was felt at all times and helped me navigate with soft percussion sounds vibrating through my body. I look forward to this experience again in the future and will definitely seek it under the wonderful guiding of Isa.

Pure Beauty
Very well organized and professionally held by the highly experienced, caring and beautiful Isa. It was my first time and it couldn't have been any safer. The environment is amazing and quiet. Isa's background singing was priceless... Lovely support before and after.

Highly recommended
Isa is the most amazing Shaman you could ask for. She has nothing but love and guides you through the process start to finish. At no point do you feel unsafe and at all points all you feel is love! This experience is highly rated and I intend to return one day.
(Also thank you Tarek!! :D)

Bufo experience Mazunte with Isa
Isa was very good at helping me feel so comfortable and safe. Her way with the tea bath and spirit cleanse allowed me to open up fully to be ready to embrace all that came.
The journalling really helped me to focus on what I needed to focus on.
I released so much anger.
I just feel so much more at peace with my faults and with my strengths. I don’t put up with what I use to any more, I love myself deeper and I strive for better because of it and I thank Isa for all of this. I will go back one day. Thank you Isa.

So much more than I could have imagined
Thanks to Isa for creating the perfect space for transformation, while allowing the guest the freedom to have their own moments with god. I’m already planning my next trip to see her down in Mazunte and strongly recommend her guidance and powerful presence to any seeking a deeply profound experience!
