The Modern Shaman Training

Infinity School

Bufo Facilitator Training

A twelve-month Bufo (5-MeO-DMT) facilitator training that bridges the tribal, indigenous way with the modern Western world.

Teachers and students of Ancestral Encounters gathered together

The bridge between worlds

The cosmic and the future

Infinity School is a complete Bufo (Otac / 5-MeO-DMT) facilitator training. It honors ancestral knowledge and cosmovisions while drawing on cultural immersion, scientific discovery, and Western protocols, so that indigenous and Western communities can join as one to help heal and awaken the world to a remembrance of who we are.

Indigenous prophecies foretold a time when the rainbow warriors would learn from the elders and return to a harmonious way of life. Graduates step into that lineage: a community of medicine people, healers, and energy workers. A cosmic tribe.

What the training includes

Twelve months, in small groups

Master students meet online three times a week with their master teachers, plus every other Saturday morning for integration. The Infinity Knowledge will open your mind to see the world through many different perspectives.

Students learn holistic healing with natural medicines, plants, and energies; how to connect with the elements, with nature, and with one another; and how to serve 5-MeO-DMT in ancestral ways, safely. The course covers the paperwork involved, common challenges, and how to resolve emotional, physical, and spiritual issues before, during, and after ceremony. Ethical, moral, safety, and legal questions are addressed throughout, along with the most effective ways to support integration.

After twelve months, students may continue taking classes as needed. The Infinity Knowledge is a community of medicine workers and guardians who stay in contact and support one another, so our students are never left to navigate a challenging world alone.

Includes: 12 months of training · small groups · 3 live online classes a week · integration Saturdays · 3 in-person meet-ups · medicine collection · lifelong community

$500 per month, plus a $500 reservation fee
