How entheogens like ayahuasca, kambo, and bufo alvarius can help you encounter your true self – and why group size can give your experience a special depth
It often begins very quietly.
A moment of emptiness.
A look in the mirror where something no longer seems right.
A growing restlessness, even though on the outside, “everything seems fine.”
Perhaps it’s a longing.
Perhaps a silent question that arises when the evening quiets down:
Who am I really – beyond the roles, expectations, and stories I tell myself about myself?
This call doesn’t come from the mind.
It springs from the depths of your soul.
And it is an invitation – to remembrance, to reconnection, to self-knowledge.
The Invitation of the Plants: Ayahuasca, Kambo, and Bufo
Plant medicine is not a trend, not escapism, not a “spiritual adventure.”
It is an ancient path to encountering yourself.
- Ayahuasca opens spaces for deep inner insights, for encounters with your essence, but also with repressed parts.
- Kambo has a powerful physical cleansing and energetically clarifying effect—it brings you back to your power and presence.
- Bufo Alvarius can open the gateway to a pure experience of being—beyond ego, concepts, and control.
These experiences are deeply individual—and at the same time embedded in what is happening around you: the framework, the setting, the energy of the group.
The Power of a Small Group (3-5 Participants)
A retreat in a small group is like a whisper in the ear of your soul.
This creates a particularly protected space – almost like an energetic cocoon.
Advantages of a Small Group:
- Individual Support: More space for your personal story, your questions, your processes.
- Intimacy and Trust: A deep sense of familiarity quickly develops in a small group.
- Silence and Retreat: Ideal if you are sensitive or have intense issues.
- Deep Processes: The small group size allows for very personal experiences.
Particularly suitable for people who are encountering plant medicine for the first time or who long for peace and security.
We look forward to accompanying you on your journey.

🌿 The Magic of a Larger Group (8-12 Participants)
A retreat in a larger group brings a different quality: breadth, connection, collective transformation.
Advantages of a Larger Group:
- Reflection & Resonance: You recognize yourself in the experiences of others.
- Shared Journey: The group energy carries you – even through difficult moments.
- Field of Connection: Collective energy can intensify and deepen processes.
- Shared Remembrance: A deeply human experience, sustained by community.
Ideal for people who enjoy opening up, feeling supported in the field of others, and want to experience the shared remembrance of our true being.
A Group Journey – A Collective Reflection
In a retreat with twelve participants, a particularly powerful dynamic emerged: As one participant entered an intense phase of letting go during a Bufo ceremony, many others in the group felt similar emotions – grief, letting go, liberation. Later, someone said, “I didn’t know I could empathize so much with others – and at the same time be so close to myself.” These collective processes often lead to a feeling of deep human connection, beyond language or origin.
Integration – The Most Important Part of the Journey
The experience with Ayahuasca, Kambo, or Bufo is only the beginning. True transformation happens in the days, weeks, and months that follow. That’s why integration is not optional – it is essential.
Practical tips for integration:
- Write a journal: Record dreams, inner images, and insights – they often clear up over time.
- Create space for silence: Daily moments of reflection help you stay connected.
- Avoid big decisions: In the first few weeks after a retreat, it is advisable not to act impulsively.
- Seek exchange: With people who know the path – in sharing circles, with mentors, or retreat guides.
- Bodywork: Yoga, massage, or breathwork help you embody and integrate your experiences.
Every integration is individual. It requires patience, honesty—and self-compassion. Because the path to self-knowledge is not a sprint. It is a lifelong invitation to listen again and again.
What suits you?
Both—the intimate small group and the empowering field of the larger group—are sacred spaces.
Not better or worse, but different in their quality.
Choose the space that corresponds to your being.
The one you feel confident in.
The one that calls you—not because it’s logical, but because you might sense while reading: That’s exactly where I want to go.
Because ultimately, it’s not about the retreat.
It’s about you.
About your decision to follow your inner calling.
About your courage to remember who you really are.
