“WE ARE CEREMONIALIST & PASSIONATE FACILITATORS, DEVOTED TO LIFE LONG LEARNING, ON A QUEST TO SEEK HEALING & TRUTH.”
OUR VISION
We celebrate and honor ancient wisdom traditions and make them accessible for the modern-day age. Our vision is to reawaken the original memory of unity and to spark reconnection with the living world. We curate deeply nourishing healing spaces, that will guide you back to your highest potential and profound healing.
Healing and freedom from suffering arises from the conscious union of your mental, spiritual, and physical well-being. Therefore we create transformational journeys rooted in embodied knowledge, ancient practice and intuitive wisdom, that leads to a new form of self-awareness in your human existence.
Our journeys allow individuals to experience psychedelic non-ordinary states of consciousness in a safely held container.
Our spiritually rich journeys are weaving traditional and contemporary approaches, with a strong focus on somatic practices, authentic expression, intention, and integration, making for unique alchemy for self-exploration and growth. To provide our guests with the necessary tools to fully integrate these meaningful psychedelic experiences into their life.
OFIA has grown organically since we started with our very first women’s retreat in 2021 in Italy. Since then we have witnessed the power of healing in community over and over again. We are grateful to have been witness to hundreds of participants finding clarity, shiting patterns, healing wounds and finding the courage to sustainably transform their lives.
The healing and transformation is what inspire us to keep going and sharing our offering with an ever-growing global community. We now offer seven or more retreats a year worldwide.

Immersed in the ancient wisdom of the Andean mountains, Alberto connected deeply with the powerful traditions of ritual and ceremonial healing. Under the guidance of indigenous teachers in Ecuador and Peru, he embraced his new path as a carrier of the sacred Chanupa and the Temazcal (Sweat Lodge) with The Fuego Sagrado De Itzachilatlan.
Today, Alberto is a transformational life coach, Kambo Practitioner, Usui Ryoho Reiki Master, and certified Tantra Yoga instructor. He is a mentor and guide, dedicated to fostering self-growth and expansion. Alberto's core mission is to serve as a man of prayer for the greater good, helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength and clarity.
Through a blend of ritual, song, and prayer, Alberto creates a potent space for healing and self realization.
