About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Avalon invites you to transcend your ego thanks to the most powerful sacred medicine in the world, the Bufo Alvarius toad from the Sonoran desert (Mexico), in a ceremonial and safe setting.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of consciousness we used when we created them.” - Albert Einstein.
We have created an intimate and safe container in the heart of Barcelona city for a group of up to 9 people to enable exploration beyond duality thanks to the wisdom of the Bufo Alvarius, the so-called God's Molecule (5-MeO-DMT) and bufotein (5-HO-DMT). The complete ego dissolution and “One with the Universe” experience that it elicits will provide freedom and a new perspective that will allow us to break free of limiting patterns and the grip of old traumas.
Experience with Bufo Alvarius venom is usually very immersive, and produces an extreme variation in perception. Many people describe sensations of cosmic unity, of access to non-dual consciousness and deep spiritual experiences. Some people have compared it to the experience of dying and accessing states similar to those described in Buddhist and Hindu traditions such as Nirvana or Tathagata, beyond the beyond. The loss of a sense of identity and dissolution of the ego is common, as well as oceanic sensations of merging with everything. - ICEERS International Center for Ethnobotanical Education Research and Service.

Spiritual and connecting experience
This was not the first time we did our retreat with Avalon and hopefully not the last time. The whole weekend spending all together with our team, connecting, talking, spending quality time together. From my whole heart I'd like to thank to the whole Avalon team for this unique experience. The location was very nice, connecting us to the nature, the food was very tasty, the team comforting and professional. We al felt safe to share our experiences and thoughts and bring home a lot of insights and warm memories from this retreat. My personal highlight was the breath work and the cacoa ceremony! See you soon again!

Great experience!
We organized a company retreat in Barcelona and the experience was wonderful. The team prepared relaxation activities and group dynamics that have been a revelation for many of us. It helped us disconnect in order to reconnect. The people who accompanied us on the retreat were both professional and approachable, making it possible for us to open up and express ourselves without reservations. The facilities chosen for the retreat, as well as the food, deserve special mention—it’s clear that every detail was carefully considered. This isn’t the first time we’ve worked with them and, without a doubt, Avalon is the best option for a retreat. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Incredible space and people
This was an incredible experience. I felt safe and cared for throughout. The Avalon team is truly phenomenal in the way they work. From their respect for indigenous practices to way they synthesize western modalities, it is amazing. You will be in the best of hands with team Avalon.

Life-changing Experience
It is almost impossible to express in words my gratitude and love for Avalon, their staff and volunteers, Taita José Antonio Jansasoy & Mama Yolimar, the beautiful souls who were also on this journey next to me, and plant medicine. From the generous and helpful pre-retreat communication, the gorgeous location in Barcelona, the amazingly creative and nourishing food, and to being supported physically and mentally in every aspect, each part of this retreat was done with superb intentionality and love. I had the life-changing metamorphosis that I desperately needed and am still being supported with ongoing integration circles virtually, and with a deeply supportive chat with the rest of our Avalon group. If you have ever needed to take that next step to transform and finally break free of whatever it is that is holding you back, I highly recommend Avalon as a safe space to unload your burdens to move forward in peace and gratitude with your life.

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had
Staff is warm, kind, supportive. Well organized with a highly personal touch. Integration and support are amazing. And the group of fellow travels were beautiful and became friends. Everyone was respectful, present, and truly there to work. If you’re considering this, especially the 6 day retreat, I highly recommend taking the leap.
