About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Immerse Yourself in Ancient Wisdom
Join us for a profound retreat in the tranquil surroundings of Colorado Springs, CO, where ancient Seri (Comcaac) traditions meet modern integration practices. This retreat offers a unique opportunity to explore deep spiritual healing and transformation through the Bufo Alvarius ceremony, guided by Ursula, a representative of the Seri (Comcaac) people.

This retreat is more than just a getaway—it’s an invitation to transform your life. Limited to 8 participants, we ensure an intimate, personalized experience that honors both the sacred traditions and your unique path to healing.



The Seri People: Guardians of Ancient Wisdom
The Seri people, also known as the Comcaac, are an indigenous group from the Sonoran Desert region, primarily residing in the coastal areas of northwestern Mexico. Their rich cultural heritage, which dates back thousands of years, is deeply intertwined with the land and sea. The Seri are renowned for their profound connection to nature, especially the desert and marine ecosystems, which play a vital role in their spiritual and daily lives.

Central to their spiritual practice is the Bufo Alvarius toad, a sacred being in their cosmology. The toad's enzyme has been used in their rituals for generations as a powerful tool for connecting with the spiritual realm and accessing deep healing.



 
Why This Retreat?
In the heart of the Sonoran Desert lies wisdom passed down through generations of the Seri tribe. The Bufo Alvarius, also known as the Sonoran Desert toad, plays a vital role in their spiritual practice. This retreat offers a rare chance to connect with this ancient tradition, allowing you to:

Experience Spiritual Guidance: The Bufo Alvarius ceremony is known for inducing deep states of consciousness, providing clarity, and connecting participants with the universal life force.
Receive Healing: Through this sacred practice, many find the release of deep-seated emotional blockages, leading to a renewed sense of peace and purpose.
Holistic Integration: Beyond the ceremony, our retreat focuses on helping you integrate these powerful experiences into your everyday life, ensuring lasting change.


What to Expect
We’ve crafted a retreat that not only honors the sacredness of the Seri tradition but also supports you in your journey of healing and transformation. The retreat takes place on a secluded, nature-immersed property that offers both privacy and connection to the natural world.
