5-Day Bufo Retreat in Portugal: Deep Healing with Non-Dual Coaching & Trauma Release
With Lisa Silva and Miguel Silva
August 4 - 10, 2025
We don’t offer Tent accommodation between October and March as there is a possibility of heavy rains.
Are you ready to embark on a profound journey that can transform your life? Look no further! At Shangriballa, our Bufo Retreat Centre, we offer a unique and transformative experience, combining the power of 5 MeO DMT, Trauma Release and the wisdom of ancient teachings of non-duality and Ramana Maharshi.
Our Three-Stage Process: Preparation, Ceremony, and Integration
We understand that a truly transformative experience requires careful preparation, an immersive ceremony, and dedicated integration. Our three-stage process ensures that you receive the utmost support and guidance throughout your journey:
1. Preparation: We believe thorough preparation is essential for a safe and meaningful experience. Our experienced facilitators will guide you through a preparation process, including personalised consultations and practices to help you cultivate the right mindset and intentions. This process will be continued when you arrive for your retreat.
We serve Kambo the day before Bufo to help with the release process and prepare you to surrender better during your Bufo experience. (Kambo is optional)
2. Ceremony: Under the guidance of our trained facilitators, you will participate in a powerful Bufo ceremony. This sacred ceremony offers a profound opportunity to connect with your essence, gain deep insights into yourself and the nature of reality, and experience a profound shift in consciousness.
3. Integration: We recognise that true transformation happens after the ceremony. Our team provides ongoing support to help you integrate your experiences into your daily life. We offer integration workshops, one-on-one sessions, and access to a supportive community, ensuring that your journey extends beyond the retreat.
Why Choose Our Unique Approach?
We believe an experience with Bufo is best integrated with the teachings of Unity Consciousness and Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-centred psychotherapy approach that helps individuals heal from trauma. It focuses on how trauma gets trapped in the body, leading to physical and emotional symptoms. SE aims to gently guide individuals to release this trapped energy through awareness of bodily sensations and natural discharge processes.
By incorporating trauma release and ancient wisdom traditions, Shangriballa offers a comprehensive and holistic approach that minimises confusion and maximises the transformative potential of your journey.
