Experience Transformation with a 1:1 Bufo Alvarius Ceremony at the Hacienda Paucartika
Embark on a transformative journey with Bufo Alvarius, or 5-MeO-DMT, a potent medicine known for its unique ability to delve deep into the psyche, unlocking and healing wounds that have long remained inaccessible. Your facilitator, Meredith Rose, brings a feminine touch and a wealth of experience in guiding participants through the profound depths of plant medicine ceremonies. Located in the Sacred Valley, Hacienda Paucartika offers a magical setting that enhances and supports this profound work, ensuring the experience is both safe and deeply impactful.
If you feel the call of this powerful medicine, now is the time to explore it at Hacienda Paucartika, located on an ancient Incan huaca—a sacred place that enhances the spiritual depth of your whole journey.
We begin with a short chat to talk about your intentions and how to prepare for the experience. On the day of the ceremony, you’ll arrive in the morning. After a brief discussion to set intentions, we’ll begin your Bufo journey. You’ll be guided with care and respect, ensuring you feel safe and supported every step of the way.
After the ceremony, you’ll have time to rest and integrate the experience, with a sound bath to help you ground. We’ll share a nourishing meal and reflect together on what’s come up for you. You are welcome to spend the rest of the day exploring the peaceful grounds of the hacienda, relaxing in hammocks, or spending time with our friendly alpacas, playful kittens, and other animals that make this space feel like home.
After our day together, my support continues. We’ll stay connected through follow-up messages and a remote integration call to help you bring the insights from your journey into your everyday life.
This is more than just a ceremony—it’s an opportunity for deep healing and growth, in a place where you’re held and supported throughout the entire process.
