What is Bufo Alvarius?
Bufo Alvarius is the Sonoran Desert toad of Mexico. Its secretion contains 5-MeO-DMT, one of the most potent psychoactive molecules known. The experience is brief, intense and deeply non-dual: less a vision than a dissolving, then a gentle return. Many people describe it as coming home.
What to expect
The medicine acts within seconds. The whole experience lasts about 20 to 40 minutes. The full ceremony, from opening to closing, takes up to an hour.

1–5 min
The sense of self dissolves, with it the sense of space and time.
5–15 min
Pure presence, luminous emptiness, a sense of unity.
15–30 min
A gentle return. Tears, laughter or deep gratitude may arise.
One person at a time
Because Bufo acts in seconds and can be overwhelming, we never serve it in a line or a crowd. Ana Sofía and Maestra Sasha stay beside you the whole time, each bringing her own gift: Sasha holds the space with shamanic protection and insight, and Ana Sofía accompanies your journey with sound. Attentive without interfering, they guide your breath if needed and sit with you as you land.

After the ceremony
A single ceremony can dissolve old beliefs quickly, but rebuilding takes time. That is why every ceremony includes a free integration session, with follow-ups whenever you need them.
