About this retreat
Hosted by Tiger Soul Retreats
Tiger Soul is honored to host another Bufo Facilitator Training Program — a sacred initiation into the art of holding space for profound transformation. This 11-day immersive training is designed not only to teach technical facilitation skills but to guide each trainee through a journey of deep healing, spiritual expansion, and mastery.
The program begins with an online training portion that introduces the Tiger Soul framework, teaching philosophy, and expectations for trainees. During the in-person immersion, every participant receives individualized guidance and mentorship, ensuring a grounded understanding of the medicine, ceremony, and ethical facilitation.
Held at the beloved Lunita Jungle Retreat, participants are supported by the sacred lands, the jungle’s silence, and the presence of ancestral energies that amplify this transformational work.
