5 Reasons to Choose a Private 5-MeO-DMT Ceremony (Instead of a Group Experience)

‍

Considering a private 5-MeO-DMT retreat instead of a group experience? Is there really be that big of a difference?  Absolutely. Group experiences are beautiful in their own way, but when it comes to focused and precise healing work,  1 on 1 is the way to go. In this article, we'll explore:

‍

• 5-MeO-DMT, its effects and therapeutic applications
• Benefits of choosing a private experience
• How and where to find the best 5-MeO-DMT retreat option for your unique intention

‍

What is 5-MeO-DMT?

5-MeO-DMT is a highly powerful experience that brings humans out of egoistic proclivities and narrow frames of reality, into higher states of consciousness.

There is a reason it is called the God molecule, it is a connection to something greater and vaster than the small egoic self and its problems.

Our 5-MeO-DMT Retreat centers in Mexico use toad venom sourced from the bufo alvarius toad from the sonoran desert. When vaporized and smoked its mystical and psychadelic effects are used as a medicine in wellness

During a 5-MeO-DMT ceremony, there is often a loss of time and space and a union with the wholeness of life.  Though it has its similiarities to an ayahausca ceremony or doing san pedro, or a large dose of psiolcybin there are enormous differences in the mystical experience. There is a potential loss of fear of death when you see that you are one with everything. We can read that "we are all one" in a book and agree, but viscerally feeling the oneness is a life-changing experience.

Through this bird's eye view of the totality of life, there is a lasting sense of awareness and mental clarity when doing a 5 meo dmt retreat.

During ceremony the facilitator guides you into a safe psychedelic journey where the receiver undergoes what could safely be described as an energetic and spiritual upgrade. This medicine unravels this third dimension of reality and our personal suffering. We can see the world clearly beyond the mental fog of our past traumas.  5-MeO-DMT is also proven to lower rates of anxiety and depression by building new neural pathways, similar to the mental benefits of ayahuasca.  

Most mental and emotional pain occurs because we can not get out of our narrative. Bufo brings you into the divine realm of spirit. Our wellness retreats merge the macro view of spirit with the micro view of being human.

There is a profound sense of existential bliss and euphoria, in stark contrast to the temporary futile pleasures that we are numbed with in the modern world.

Bufo also clears the inner space. During the ceremony and retreat, there are much-needed emotional releases that have buried themselves in the body for years.

5-MeO-DMT cleans the room of the mind and empties out the unneeded garbage. When you are an empty vessel, the world can flow through you, as there is no mental resistance or clinging.

After the ceremony, there is an integration period of letting go of old habits and conditioning that strip us from our inherent power.

Overall, this medicine has a powerful intensity, and it is completely normal to be nervous during the 5 meo dmt ceremony and retreat.

When entering this portal, set and setting are extremely important, and our facilitators are trained to create a container of safety and security.

5-MeO-DMT is a life-altering experience and unlike anything, we can grasp with our rational minds. For many people who identify with their minds, this process of surrender can be difficult, especially in group settings in front of people. Taking a psychoactive substance can make us feel vulnerable, especially doing it with a group of strangers. For some people groups are an opportunity to build community, and for others plant medicine is best to do alone.

For those who want to be able to fully release and go deeper inwards, private retreats are where the most intimate healing takes place.

‍

Five reasons why Bufo could be best for you to do in a private retreat setting.

‍

1. Private retreats are personalized to your specific needs

From spiritual preparation with the practitioner to checkups with doctors and conversations with coaches, all undivided attention is on you.

There is a high quality of experience when everything is tailored to fit your needs. The ceremony is specifically for what best suits you and your level of energy. Behold retreats take pride in providing psychedelic journeys through guided retreats that are personalized to proper support client needs.

If you feel like in the morning you prefer to meditate for hours or go for a stroll in the forest, that is fine. If you want to postpone your ceremony because of nerves or lack of sleep, that is okay.

The preparation ritual and process itself are uniquely suited to your mental and emotional landscape. The therapists and guides are working to make every moment of the experience most comfortable for you.

‍

2. Going further inwards

Group dynamics have a high amount of energy as everyone is on their journey in the same space. If somebody in the room is having a very strong experience, it can often take you a bit out of your own. This sonoran desert toad is a strong substance, and the largest amount of wellness comes from fully grapsing the magnitude of the mystical effects of your own journey.

During private sessions, there are no external stimuli to be distracted from. Doing a private retreat is an opportunity to access a subtler part of the self when you are able to completely let go of the external world and be vulnerable in your innermost self.

Private retreats are a commitment to healing in the highest way possible because it is your own process. When doing this medicine alone there is nothing to tend to outside of you, there is no mental dialogue about the person sitting next to you or comparing your experience to theirs.

In my personal experience, when I did a group retreat and watched another person’s experience, I was taken out of my own. One other person seemed to have a mystical full-body orgasm, and I felt desire rise in me for the same type of bliss.

This created expectations in my mind of how I would or should react to the medicine. There was less of a focus on myself and more of an attachment to what was outside.  

When I did a private ceremony there was a total uniqueness of experience in being in only my own presence. I was able to confront the darker parts of reality and release without shame or guilt or the fear of anyone in the room judging me.  

Private ceremonies allow one to go fully inwards to clearly see what is inside.

3. All undivided attention is on you

Our facilitators are experienced energetic healers and bodyworkers who have been guiding clients on their healing journey with care and intention for several years. They are equipped with the spiritual tools and knowledge to bring you to a state of peace and clarity.

The healers we choose have a strong and nurturing presence and work intuitively, there is knowledge of the practice and the wisdom to dive deep into the present moment. When the facilitators are able to work with just one person at a time, they can put all their spirit into it.

In group retreats, there is a high level of support given, but in private sessions, there is even more. All of the team’s focus is given to your ceremony and the aftercare.

The facilitators also have more time to do energy work and hands-on healing in between sessions, as they do not have to split their time between a group.

There is a sense of devotion and attention that healers can give when there is just one person to facilitate versus a group of ten. From years of working with plant medicine, our healers have witnessed the largest amount of personal growth during private retreats.

4. A heightened feeling of safety

When you know that the facilitator and assistant are there for only you, there is a type of security in which you can fully let go and express yourself.

The dedication given by the practitioner allows a deeper process of surrender and comfort.

In this way, private retreats are a greater investment in yourself because you are able to go deeper into the recesses of your being, knowing you are completely held.

Afterward, during integration, there are therapists and coaches to support only you and hold space for your psychedelic retreat.

There is a truly safe container made for your process before the journey and even after it is over.

‍

5. Complete discretion

If you are a discrete person who is uncomfortable sharing in groups, the private session can allow you a chance to be listened to and heard by just professionals who are there for your support.

Following the ceremony, through the integration process and sharing, you can have a full sense of privacy, as only trained practitioners and psychologists will hold space for you.

Group dynamics can be good for mutual peer support, but if you are someone who likes to keep your inner dialogue to yourself, then the private retreat allows this.

In telling fewer people about your experience, there is also less of a dilution of experience. Sometimes when I share my experience with too many people it feels futile.

In otherworldly experiences such as Bufo, words do not seem to do the experience justice, and there is a feeling of not wanting to share the sacredness of the experience with everyone.

How and where to find the best retreat options for your unique intention.

In the world of booming interests in psychedelics it's really important to do your homework, especially when it comes to 5-MeO-DMT. Bufo is not without it's risks, but a reputable retreat center or facilitator will run a thorough physical/psychological medical screening to make sure you're fit for the experience.

Of course, it's not just physical safety alone that you should be looking for. Bufo can create a radical shift in your perspective, your sense of identity, values, etc. It's a big experience to integrate, so your retreat should also have integration coaching available.  Integration is just as, if not more important than the actual retreat when it comes to creating lasting changes.

If you know people personally who have experienced Bufo with positive results, ask them what about their retreat made them feel comfortable, what they could have used more of. You'll notice that almost all retreat centers online have all "5 star" reviews, which tells us there's not a lot of awareness in the industry around what differentiates quality in the medicine space. Reach out to retreat centers and ask lots of questions. Any reputable center should be more than happy to take the time to talk to you.
