Additional massage
The masseur, Gabriel, uses a fusion of massage and osteopathy techniques focused on the harmonization and integration of the mobilized energy during the ceremonies - 60 minutes.
Bufo Alvarius
Bufo, a toad medicine, has the therapeutic potential to treat a number of conditions including depression and anxiety. The powerful mystical experience of the complete dissolution of the ego and the experience of "One with the Universe" that it provokes provides freedom from limiting patterns and old traumas.
Kambó cleanse
Kambó, a traditional shamanic practice, uses the secretion of the giant green monkey tree frog from the Amazon to bring about a deep physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual cleansing process. Kambo purifies, detoxifies, and reboots the immune system, treats certain health conditions, and improves stamina.
Essential Mind therapy session
Essential Mind combines hypnosis, NLP, PEMF -electrons machine- and essential oils to balance body energy points such as chakras, pineal gland, third eye, and hormonal functions. Improves circulation, energy, sleep quality, and blood pressure, balances the immune system, and reduces chronic inflammation.
Cocora plant liver cleanse
It is a deep liver cleanse through a drink made with a seed resembling an almond. It is highly recommended, especially for those who have high body toxicity and helps to have a deeper experience during the ceremonies.
One-to-one psychotherapeutic integration sessions
The Ayahuasca integration process is equally as important as the journey itself. This is where the real day-to-day work begins. Avalon knows how challenging it can be. They know how important is to find someone you trust to guide you to find balance and harmony within and better navigate your world - 2*60 minutes; online or in person.
Access bars
An energetic one-to-one therapy facilitates the release of an electromagnetic charge of limiting thoughts, attitudes, decisions, and beliefs. The Bars therapist touches 32 unique points on the head that correlate to different aspects of life.
Aura reading
Explore, understand, and improve the color, frequency, personality, and intensity of your Aura and your Chakra states. Be aware of the dynamics that live in your unconscious and free yourself from behaviors such as fear, anger, conflicts, scarcity, and destructive emotions.
Temazcal (traditional sweat lodge)
A sacred ritual that cleanses and heals the body and the mind. The steam activates the sweating, causing the elimination of heavy metals and toxic agents that deteriorate the body, which is why the skin is recognized as the "third kidney".
