Retreat Info
About the Retreat:You're ready for a change –– to heal, reclaim and reconnect with the best version of yourself. You've tried looking out there, and now you're ready to look within. You're ready to learn how to listen to your body, mind and soul, heal stuck patterns and find lasting joy, peace, and resilience.
Welcome to Sahaja, a community –– a family. A tribe for your soul. Upon arrival at Sahaja, nestled in a beachfront compound on 1-mile of private beach, we will greet you and the rest of the tribe for an introductory information session, including a tour of the property. There will be an opening ceremony that evening.
During the retreat, we will begin each day with a group Bufo microdose ceremony to experience the communal healing and bonding offered by the medicine, as well as get you acclimated to the medicine in preparation for a deeper ceremony later in the day. We will follow each group ceremony with a group Kundalini Pranayama (breathwork) session. Afterwards, you can enjoy a freshly prepared snack or light meal from our private chef, and take a dip into the crystalline waters of the Caribbean feeling refreshed and renewed.
Early evenings will include individual Bufo ceremonies followed by a group dinner and integration circle. We're with you every step of the way, helping you integrate your intentions into your ceremonies, and providing a safe container for profound healing. Individual integration sessions available for sensitive healing topics or ones that feel too personal to share with the group.
You are encouraged to take advantage of the privacy and profound connection with nature our lush tropical ecological preserve offers, exploring the lagoon, basking on the deck of the pool, swimming or kayaking in the fresh Caribbean waters, or reading in a hammock to the soundtrack of nature.
Description of Services:Our work is to provide a safe container for you to experience the deep healing of these sacred medicines. We will help you face any parts of yourself that house trauma, fear, and stagnant or dense energy. As experienced guides, we will hold space for you as you release trapped trauma and pain to heal from the root, returning to your perfect state of naturalness. When you leave your retreat, you will have a foundation of knowledge, practices, and a new tribe to help you live a life of love, ease, and wholeness.
We serve because we've been there. We are with you every step of the way. We have been through every process we teach. Whether you are completely new to medicine or an advanced practitioner, we are there for you, vibrating in the frequency of LOVE.
THE MEDICINES
BUFO
The secretion from Bufo Alvarius or the Sonoran Desert Toad is one of the most powerful entheogens that exists. This beautiful medicine will work at the deepest level to liberate your soul through the release of deeply stored emotional trauma, repressed memories, and self limiting beliefs. Through this process it is common for one to experience non-duality and a feeling of oneness, a deep connection with source, the universe, your higher self and the embrace of pure unconditional love.
This is a deep dive with Bufo, having the opportunity to sit with the medicine many times over the course of your retreat. The medicine will ask you to be completely present and surrender all that you have known to receive the pure white light and love source energy provides. By surrendering, you transcend the ego and are able to see your truth.
“When a person smokes 5-MeO-DMT, there is an increased production and release of neurotransmitters and endorphins, such as serotonin and dopamine. They promote body regeneration, healing, and an enormous release of unconscious stress and trauma.”
Dr. Gerardo Sandoval IsaacKAMBO
Kambo or the Phyllomedusa bicolor has been providing healing to indigenous peoples of the Amazon for decades. Kambo is also known for its purgative properties, assisting the energetic, emotional and physical body to release toxins, trauma, dis-ease and subconscious blockages. People who have sat with Kambo report a renewed sense of self, a release of anxiety, fear and old patterns only to establish a beautiful connection to their heart space and the world around them.
The union of these two cathartic sacraments can be a catalyst to connection with your inherent consciousness, healing body, heart and soul.
Integration is key in this process and our facilitators will be there every step of the way, creating a safe container, holding sacred space and hosting daily group and one to one integration sessions.

The compassion, love, and expertise expressed during my ceremonies were wonderful!!! I was able to develop the level of trust needed to allow myself to fully surrender and experience the medicines. My ceremonies were life changing and are still producing enlightenment to help me along my path. Thank you!!!
Chelsea was my guide for my first kambo and Bufo ceremony and I can’t imagine doing it with anyone else. She knew my needs before even I knew what they were. She anticipated not only my needs but those of the other members in our group as well and she did so with such expertise. As a cynical, guarded person being able to trust and feel safe with anyone is very difficult for me but with Chelsea as my guide, her compassion, empathy, and strong spirit allowed me to do just that. I highly recommend Chelsea for anyone on their healing journey and I look forward to continuing on my own with her by my side.
My Kambo & Bufo experience exceeded any expectation that I had for myself. Kambo was truly a lesson in surrender and trusting in the process. After the Kambo experience, I felt amazing like there was nothing stopping me from me from my higher self. Everything was made so clear. My Bufo experience took me to the next level of finding my purpose why was I put here on this earth ? For me, it took the guesswork out. It left me with a deeper knowing. I have to say the Kambo and Bufo truly complement each other. It was by far one of the best journeys I have experienced. I felt very safe and nurtured in the process.
Chelsea is an incredible healer and facilitator. I sat with her recently and there are no words. It was beautiful. Thank you Chelsea. I highly recommend.
Chelsea was my guide when I had the Bufo experience. It was my first time but Chelsea really helped me get where I needed to be. I was lucky to have found her because she serves from the heart and genuinely cares about our well-being. You’ll be in good hands with her!
If you are looking for a thorough and holistic approach to healing, I highly recommend Sahaja Retreats! I was served by Natalie and it completely changed my life. She was kind, patient, understanding, and truly went on the journey with me. She was intentional with everything she did and so selfless. For the first ceremony we did a micro dose and I found the experience blissful, experienced full surrender, and went into another realm. This was incredible, but it was the macro dose the second time around that truly changed my life. I once again experienced the surrender and “ego death”, if you will, but this time there was a deeper exploration into these other spaces. Let’s just say I felt a release of trauma that felt decades, if not generations old. When I started to come to, it felt like Natalie was delivering me from that energy that was stagnant and deeply rooted, and then shortly after I experienced a God-like feeling from within me, in Natalie, and surrounding me. I felt like I met God, and that HE was in me and all around me. I was so present and light. I felt brand new. It’s honestly makes talk therapy feel unnecessary. I highly recommend a Bufo ceremony if you want true and deep healing that is beyond the surface of what other forms of therapy can offer.
