6-day Holistic Men's Retreat w/ Plant Medicine in Ibiza, Spain

ARCHETYPE: Grounded tiger that pushes the limits to wake up the soul potential. Spiritual comedian. PERSONAL JOURNEY: My mission in this life is to serve to life. I’m a warrior and a guardian who protects life and its expressions, helping people all over the world to feel the sacredness of being alive and walking with the truth of their spirit on earth. My heart and life are dedicated to this mission – every moment I can accompany someone on this journey becomes sacred. I find great joy in creativity, humor, depth, spirituality, Mother Earth, four elements and deciphering people’s mysteries to awaken their potential. My personal journey has been about overcoming my shyness, living with the presence of spirits since I was five years, self-judgments, insecurity and deaths. These experiences were guiding me towards opening my heart, strengthening my spirit and continuously creating a better version than the previous one. My first test was learning to live with my gifts of interacting with the spirits without feeling afraid or feeling that I am crazy, to understand that it is a beautiful tool. The second was to overcome the loneliness and rejection of many people for years, to accept my purity and my nobility. And the third was the deaths of loved ones like my father, grandfather, grandmother and going through the depths of pain and sadness. As a result of which, I created an inner diamond of unconditional love to myself and to all life. The year 2000 I started in Reiki, then studied psychology and philosophy, bach flower remedies, NLP, ontological coaching, systemic coaching plus experience in ceremonies in Latin America and Europe with sacred medicines since 2011. My journey of twenty years working with over 5.000 people, today gives me strength and knowledge to accompany people in the best way: with closeness, warmth, love, excellence and humility. I have developed a very strong bond with Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Magic Mushrooms. I am here to serve people, to accompany them in those dimensions of the mystery of the great spirit, to protect the space of their journeys and to open their hearts so that life has the opportunity to express love and creation in human beings. ROLE: Guardian and musician of sacred ceremony space with 10 years of experience with sacred medicines. Psychologist. Facilitator of guidance and integration. Divine masculine circles.

ARCHETYPE: Sage. Conventional and alternative medicine integrator. Seeker and sharer of truth. PERSONAL JOURNEY: I was born in 1963 in Atiquizaya, El Salvador. I am a medical doctor from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, Mexico in 1986 and I am in service since then. I post graduated in general surgeon from the Central University of Venezuela in 1999. I have experience in emergency surgery, shock trauma and laparoscopic surgery. My path in the spiritual world begins with a near death experience in 2017, a heart attack. Since then I began to study thanatology -the study of death-, I investigated and innovated in neuroscience and found the best references on the study of the soul in Jewish Kabbalah. Shortly after, in 2018, the sacred medicines completely changed the lives of me and my family members. Since then I have dedicated myself to observe and study the effects, benefits and contraindications with entheogenic substances specifically: Ayahuasca, Yopo, Jurema, Bufo Alvarius, Psilocybin, Iboga and also Kambó. Currently I advise a group of independent facilitators, to reduce risks and achieve more benefits with the proper use of these substances. I have created the Kintsugi method. I have made multiple trips to many countries as a medical advisor, lecturer, teacher and as a facilitation supervisor. I consider that my humanistic and spiritual vision of health provides a transcendent approach to medicine that allows us to integrate multiple perspectives such as shamanic, allopathic and naturopathic. ROLE: Medical advisor.

ARCHETYPE: Loyal and smiling companion. Energetic learner of life. Problem solver. Friend of the sacred fire. PERSONAL JOURNEY: At the beginning of 2018, I was not well, I did not assume maturing, growing up, and becoming an adult. I looked longingly at my previous stage. That winter my brother invited me to an Ayahuasca retreat and since I have always liked trying new things, I agreed. After a very difficult night, I understood that growing up is good. From that retreat, I began a committed path of traveling; ceremonies of all kinds, readings, meditation, and breathing became very important practices in my daily life as they are helping me to better understand myself, adapt to the constant changes in life, and find higher goals and visions that became my purpose. This purpose is about the law regarding plant medicines, ancestral practices, and ways of healing. Today, protecting plant medicines, protecting participants’ right to choose sacred medicines to heal, and fighting peacefully and consciously for its legislation were the primary motivators that guided me to be part of the Avalon family. ROLE: Operations Manager. Lawyer.

ARCHETYPE: Magician. Masculine wisdom. Loving and kind mentor. Unconditional man standard-bearer. PERSONAL JOURNEY: My name is Sudhir Seyboth, and it all began in 1991 when I led my first men's group. It was a most rewarding and humbling adventure, working with men from all over the world. As an elder in the field with more than three decades of experience, I look back with deep gratitude at the men I have met along the way. They have taught me much –perhaps even more than I have guided them. I don't feel like a teacher. This work is not about imparting knowledge. I feel more like a friend moving together with passion and courage on a journey into the unknown. The most profound turning point in my life came in the 1980s when I was 25. I was a German engineer developing software for the automotive industry at that time. My career was thriving, characterised by recognition and a huge salary. Nevertheless, I could not shake off a deep feeling of emptiness. The questions of life: What is my goal? Is there more to life than just money and success? –would not let me rest. Eventually, I listened to this inner voice. I sold all my belongings at a flea market, left Munich and Germany behind forever and set off on a journey that would change my life. My search for meaning and purpose first took me to the serene mountains of Kerala, India, where I studied at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram and became a certified yoga teacher. A year later, I met the Indian mystic Osho in Pune, an encounter that became a pivotal turning point in my life. In the vibrant energy of the Osho commune, I spent more than a decade diving deep into meditation, therapy training and personal growth work. It was in this multicultural melting pot where I led my very first retreat for men. Since 1991, I have dedicated myself to this work, leading men's groups and retreats all over the world. From India to Germany, from Sweden to Ibiza, I have sat in a circle with men of all ages and walks of life. Together, we have explored profound questions about power, purpose, peace, sex, love, vulnerability and courage. I trained extensively in holistic healing practices such as yoga, meditation, inner child therapy, bioenergetics, breath therapy, NLP and family constellations. These methods have taught me to understand not only the mind but also the heart and soul. In 1995, I was appointed Director of the Mystery School at the Osho Centre for Transformation in Pune. But at the peak of my "spiritual career", my son was born. I left this spiritual paradise to figure out how to be a good father. I think I have succeeded pretty well, and I am very proud of my son. He embodies a new masculinity –a whole human being with a wonderful balance of masculine and feminine energies. I then moved to Ibiza in 2008. In 2012, I got married and entered a relationship with a strong and beautiful woman. The challenges and the journey of growth continue. Now, at 67, I am embarking on a new adventure: the integration of therapy, meditation and plant medicine healing work. It remains my passion to continue this work –creating space for stories of transformation and experiencing the incredible strength that comes when men become friends and brothers. Together, we build communities based on trust and connection. This is not just my work; it is my calling. And I am humbled and grateful to walk this path. ROLE: Men's circles guide. Family constellations and inner child therapist. Meditation and breathwork guide.

ARCHETYPE: Gentle body listener. Apprentice of the subtle field. Empathetic servant of human well-being. PERSONAL JOURNEY: My name is Javi De Gabriel. My path to awareness was born out of personal hardship, a journey many of us can relate to. After a successful career in human resources, I experienced burnout and depression, which ultimately became my awakening. I left the corporate world behind for more profound meaning and embarked on a spiritual journey leading to yoga, breathwork, acting, dancing, and massage therapy. One childhood memory stands out—massaging my grandmother, who suffered from migraines. That memory guided me toward bodywork, and in 2010, I began formal training in massage therapy. I hold certifications in Esalen Massage from the renowned Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, and have completed a three-year massage training program at Oasis in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Additionally, I am a graduate of the one-year online Compassionate Inquiry training led by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam, and I am a 200-hour certified yoga teacher trained by Sri Parveen Nair. In 2011, I worked at one of the top spas in the world while living in New Zealand, Polynesian Spa, where I spent five years. Yoga became a central practice during this period, and I travelled extensively to India over seven years, immersing myself in yoga and meditation while continuing to refine my massage techniques. Since 2015, I have made Ibiza my home. I maintain a regular bodywork practice in Amsterdam and have dedicated my life to teaching the techniques I’ve developed. It brings me great joy to help others reconnect with their true essence and find balance in their lives.

My journey into the world of plant medicines began in 2019 when I had my first Ayahuasca ceremony—a profound experience that reshaped my life. Since then, I have explored various avenues of self-discovery, including microdosing with truffles, attending 10-day silent Vipassana retreats, and undertaking fasts lasting over ten days.

My passion is deeply rooted in helping people reconnect with their bodies and integrate their transformative experiences into their daily lives. I firmly believe in the power of bodywork to foster personal growth and healing, especially when combined with the insights gained from plant medicine.

ROLE: Bodywork therapist and healer.
