Bufo and Breathwork Retreat
Join Leonie and me for this 2-day extra-ordinary life changing event in Coin, Andalusia. Airport Malaga.
Find peace within yourself to cultivate the life of your dreams.
If you’re feeling stuck and burned out and you’re ready to experience life with a fresh perspective, then join us for a Bufo retreat where you will come away with peace and clarity.
There are mountains as far as your eyes can see, and instead of the usual rumbling and beeping of traffic you hear sounds of life. Birds singing, the wind rustling through the palmtrees, stars at night in the sky, you feel connected to everything.
Your body is infused with calm, and for what seems like the first time in a long time, your mind feels quiet and still as well. You feel the unity between your mind, body, and soul.
You feel at peace.
A Bufo Alvarius retreat in the Andalusian Countryside.
On this retreat, through the Bufo Alvarius ceremony with experienced plant medicine healer Sophiah Aliyah and Leonie, you’ll experience the clarity and peace that comes from searching deeply within.
During your retreat in the Villa , through bufo alvarius ceremonies, breath work & Sound Healing, walking in nature, and non-judgmental community, you will find parts of yourself that you lost in the grind of normal life, so you can return home feeling relaxed and purposeful.
You’ll experience the profound healing that comes from intentional use of the bufo alvarius in combination with the Breath & Sound Healing sessions, and benefit from the the peace and calm that comes after for months or even years to come.
I'm ready for profound healing...
Info about the bufo ceremony
When receiving the medicine, an extraordinary neuro-physiological reaction takes place. The medicine initiates an electromagnetic expansion in the brain, where the pineal gland will secrete a large amount of DMT, as well as neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin, oxytocin, dopamine, triptamines and melatonin.
This creates a state of consciousness where the illusory duality and separation of the ego is instantly dissolved, to reveal the infinite light and unconditional love of universal consciousness.
Allowing this recognition of our true nature is the start of the journey back to the heart of the human experience, a beautiful process of remembering who we really are, before mind, time, space, separation, traumas, and the programming and conditioning from our social and cultural circumstance.
In a state of absolute unity with totality, the observer and the observed and the perception of separation in the relationship of subject-object dissolves into oneness. This liberating dissolution initiates a process of deep release of energetic blockages that have been registered and stored in our bodies throughout our lives, blockages caused by behaviors and decisions taken through the ego-mind that tend to edit and censor the natural expression of
energy.
Any point of view, whether spiritual or not, that denies, resists, or in any way does not accept things as they are actually happening in the present moment comes from the duality of ego.
A point of view that receives, accepts and integrates the whole exactly as it is, comes from unity or non dual consciousness.
Feel, trust, relax and surrender into yourself.
NOTE: No alcohol, weed, medications, anti depressants are allowed before receiving the medicine, participant need to sign an informed consent before participating and will have an intake conversation prior to the event.
Breathwork session & Soundhealing.
Sound is everywhere. It is in us and around us. Everything is energy, vibration. Soundhealing is an ancient meditative practice that uses different instruments, even the voice as in mantras. It creates healing vibrations around and in the body. Sound is universal and it’s a language which we all understand. Sound vibrations impacts the physical and energetic body. You will become in a meditative state helping release emotional trauma and relieve stress and anxiety.
Sound and vibration travels trough every cell of your body
This is a physical and energetic concert for body, mind and soul. You will release emotions, cortisol, increase endorphins, lower down your brainwave because of binaural beats, increase sleep quality, boost immunity. Relaxing for your whole system.
We are going to combine soundhealing with conscious connected breathwork. We will breathe 50 minutes in an active way without a pause. We leave our comfort zone, out of the mind. We use our body to discover, achieving an altered state of consciousness. Tap into another brainwave. Where we find information in our subconsciousness. Where we can feel our inner power.
Normally we use only 20% of oxygen, don’t live in the present moment and breath shallow trough the chest and now we going to inhale the most of oxygen and breath to our diaphragm to activate our parasympathetic nervous system and our vague nerve. Which is the communicator from our gut feeling. We create change in our brain, chemical changes in our blood. I will use music to create a transcendent experience. At the integration phase I will play with my soundhealing bowls where we can surrender and let go.
How it works
We will hold our ceremonies inside or outside in the garden (depending on the weather).
The First day:
10.30 am- 7pm arrival.

About The Bufo Alvarius Retreat in Spain
I can confidently tell you that Ayahuasca, Bufo and Healing have saved my life and helped me intentionally heal trauma from the past as well as navigate life’s difficulties today.
It has opened my mind and my soul, and made me a happier, better person. Bufo Alvarius is a beautiful medicine, and I am so honored to share it with those who are ready for its life changing magic.
As for our healer Sophiah she was a therapist for over 20 years in her native country of Holland, before trying Ayahuasca herself after a difficult period. She was so moved by the experience that she has devoted her life to bringing this powerful medicine to those who need it.
Her style of work is guided by instinctive love energy, and she has the experience and natural gift of helping us as we undertake this internal journey. Each of you will have an intake conversation with Sophiah so that she can understand your needs and answer any questions you might have about the journey.
