The liberation of metamorphosis is an opportunity to experience oneness with the cosmos, heal deeply carved traumas and recalibrate your nervous system. Unleash your free spirit and embrace the joy in life, relax into the safety net held by Carmen and supported by Tish. Working with the medicine of Bufo is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced and offers the opportunity for massive transformation in one’s life.

Bufo is not only about physical & emotional healing. This medicine goes deeper to heal your spiritual trauma that you have been carrying. Healing these aspects of yourself in support with N.O.T and DBR allows you to let go of the psychological baggage that is not yours to carry.

We help you to embrace your authentic self and find that missing piece. Break the conditioning of what you have been told and how you perceived yourself in your past experiences. Only you know it is your time to experience profound healing and open your mind to what you are and meant to become. It is already inside you.

What is BUFO?

Bufo alvarius toad is known by different names: Bufo, El Sapo, Sapito, Colorado river Toad, and Sonoran Desert toad. Bufo alvarius lives in Western Mexico and some states in the US. It contains a venom called 5-MeO-DMT, secreted by the venom glands. The liquid is extracted from the toad’s venom glands. It is then dehydrated into crystals and smoked. This dried venom of the Bufo alvarius toad contains 5-MeO-DMT and 5-HO-DMT (Bufotenin). Bufotenin is another psychotropic substance.

Carmen LittleJohn Psychotherapist,PR, MA works with N.O.T (Neural Organization Technique) and DBR (Deep brain Reorganization) in combination with the medicine of Bufo.

What is N.O.T?

Neural Organization Technique to recognize the function of the nervous system in relation to fundamental survival systems. These body systems are like biological computer systems composed of specific neurological programs for everything we see, do and feel. Trauma, in all its possibilities, can and will disrupt the neuron programs within these reflex systems, which then send inappropriate, compensatory signals to the body. The purpose of N.O.T is to re-establish optimal neural function by resetting neural pathways and undoing compensatory states. N.O.T is used in conjunction with Deep Brain Reorganization (DBR)

What is DBR?

This technique uses mindfulness and somatic experience to access the core of a traumatic experience. By working with the part of the brain that is the first orient in situations of danger or attachment disruption, we can quickly get to the shock or underlying attachment pain that is often very difficult to access. The healing of shock can facilitate easier and faster access to healing the deep trauma and attachment wounds that lie underneath it. The brain can then re-orient to the present moment more fully.

The combination of Bufo and N.O.T offers a powerful container for deep trauma work to be healed. The integration is supported with vibrational sound attunement and somatic movement practices and Nidra with Tish. In this journey you can access your deepest traumas and heal, you can finally be free from the pain and suffering you have experienced for years and sometimes lifetimes.

Testimonials

“This Metamorphosis retreat journey shifted my understanding of life and allowed me to access some of the deepest pain I’ve ever touched. My Bufo sessions were profound,I was able to access a deep state of rest and calm. The N.O.T sessions supported me in understanding many layers of trauma that I had carried for many years that are now cleared. Tish’s sound healing, somatic movement and integration sessions in support of my return back to “normal life” was an integral part of my journey. I feel like a new woman and deeply grateful for you ladies.”

Anna-Mare

“Seeking the sacred starts with remembering that you ARE the beloved. The divine manifestations of all that is holy, that is connected to the wholeness of everything. Sacred journeys are about the reconnection to self and the cosmic powers which flow from and with Source.When you place yourself in high vibrational surroundings with people who want to explore the enigma of the universe and tap into the mysteries of life, you often find yourself awakening in a deep and profound way to the collective oneness of life force .”
