Testimonials
One year ago a friend of mine was telling of an experience he had with Rodrigo and how it changed him, and the way he was talking about it I immediately felt that this is for me too, that I wanted to meet with Rodrigo, working with him.
The first time I saw him I immediately just knew that I can trust in him as a person as well in his ability as a medicine man, and that he can guide me in ways I was not able to express that I wanted exactly that kind of guidance since in my western culture there was no concept for me to lean on.
So I followed my heart and said yes to the options that have been presented to me since then.
Now one year later I can confirm that my first intuition was right. Rodrigo is a great person, which would be reason enough to spend time with him. But also I can authentically encourage others to find out about his qualities as a medicine man, counsellor and guide since for me he was always providing what I needed, even when I was not able to express it. The depths of his knowledge and ability always surprise me and he helped me finding my way to myself again. Where before I felt stuck after working years on myself (including support of what the western culture was able/ willing to provide to me) I finally found the guide i always hoped I would find.
I am truly grateful for his service as I can see the manifestations in my life, which would have not been possible without him. (Thank you, Rodrigo!)
During the ceremonies I always felt safe and guided, my heart told me to trust him and by trusting my heart I was able to surrender to the process. As a result of the ceremonies, I was able to find parts of me, that I have actively neglected due to to the conditional love I experienced growing up in this society.
So over time, I have hidden these parts even from myself.
When these parts would come out the past years as a result of the ceremonies Rodrigo always gave unconditional love to me, whatever side I was allowing myself to be seen, ready to hide it immediately, should I receive the same feedback as I was used to but I found nothing but encouragement and unconditional love, which enabled me to trust myself, to allow myself to life these neglected parts of me and to observe what needed observation in order to find the lessons in them? Rodrigo enabled me to work on myself in ways I was not able to see before as I found faith in the support of life again.
My words are coming from my heart and I authentically recommend everybody who is ready to go deep to allow Rodrigo to support you in your process.
To describe in three words the experience with Rodrigo:
“I found myself”
-Thomas from Austria-
“I feel Rodrigo is a pure heart based being. He really made me feel secure. During the ceremony I had so much trust that I could explore any sensations within me. I am grateful to have connected back to my emotions and to accept to live them fully. I truly recommend the experience with this joyful being.”
— Laureen from Switzerland
“We met Rodrigo by accident. Best thing that happened in Tulum for me. We exchanged our numbers after we heard about the ceremonies. We planned it immediately. Rodrigo welcomed us in his jungle home(incredible). He introduced us to the procedure, benefits, effects in the most calming way possible. I wasn't afraid at all. Actually, I couldn't wait to try it. We spoke a bit before the dmt ceremony, about my feelings, my intentions. We had a very strong connection, cannot explain it in words. I took it and my life became just life, not mine. Nothingness and everything. Joy and pure love. If u hear this, you cannot imagine. It cannot be described in words. Most overwhelming experience ever. I died and was born again. Can you imagine?
I truly love Rodrigo and his wish to introduce this to people with patience and dedication. I am definetely recommending this to EVERYONE.
Do not expect anything, just let go and embrace it! Much love”
— Francessca from Romania
“With Rodrigo I had the chance to experience a therapy process that brought me back to my body, my soul and my spirit; through exploring compassion, unconditional love, my darkness and my ghosts.
A therapy in which I realized I had to take responsibility for what I had decided to believe in the past, and yet; discover that I can choose to live the way i really want by being true to my heart.
All addressed with transparency, respect and the loving kindness of Rodrigo’s teachings and guidance.”
— Alonso from Mexico
“Rodrigo is a Diamond. Very few of them exist and if you find one you will be surprised by his brilliant light ...
I made two Bufo Alvarius Sessions with Rodrigo. For a Bufo session you need to choose your Shaman very wisely, because it will beam you into other dimensions of pur love, bliss and peace, so you need to be confident that in the 3D Realms everything will be in place as it was befor your take off...
I meet Rodrigo by destiny and watched him carefully before deciding to go with him. I had this feeling, that he was humble and strong enough to guide me though those dimensions. In my first ceremony I went though quite some fractal agression and he guided me into gratitude to transcend it into love and oneness feeling with this beautiful planet!
So I always felt save and cared for in my cereomonies.
In my second Bufo I went directly into the 12th Dimension, non dual awareness, felt like seeing and feeling god within.
So I definitly trust his medicine and his capability to guide humans even with a difficult topics to dissolve, because he is capable to go into his higher self to guide your higher self more efficiently, actually it is amazing how he is capable to stay calm and aware while taking Buffo himself.
The valuble insights from the first Bufo were that I had 2 energetic parasites which I cleaned out in another Jurema Cermony, the insight of the second Bufo was that we have our paradise within and we can access it anytime we want if we step again into this enternal powerful NOW. Once you experience how powerful this ONE is, there is no more fear of whatever the illusion was, you had, befor doing the Bufo...
Three words to describe this experience are: LOVE, Brotherhood and "beyond words"... There is much more to say, so I even wrote a small book about it... ONE LOVE!”
— Hagen from Germany
Rodrigo is a very beautiful soul. One that touches you with his knowledge, tenderness, deep communication and drive to bring the plant medicine to people who are looking for a life in truth. Rodrigo starts his ceremonies by opening the space and with his songs, musical instruments and presence he holds the space in a trustful, loving way which felt very safe for me. The integration came naturally as Rodrigo talked to me, making me feel what I needed to feel to go deeper in my own soul and presence. He never pushed but gave "breadcrumbs " to follow when I needed guidance.
It changed my live to be able to sit with the medicine, to get strong and clear insights and to do it under a guidance that was there when I needed it.
Thank you Rodrigo, for ever in my heart.
— Monique from Netherlands
Myself, my wife Sabrina and my father in law had two ceremony’s with Rodrigo he was great at informing us about the background and history of the medicines he’s an extremely knowledgeable and caring spiritual guide. He made us feel completely comfortable and safely guided us through both a Bufo ceremony “which actually turned out to be the most profound experience of my life” and an all night Peyote ceremony which also included a traditional Temazcal sweat lodge beforehand. We all received very deep and valuable insight from the medicines and Rodrigo very skilfully helped us to discern our visions afterwards. We all feel so much better and happier like a big weight has been lifted off our shoulders. It really is a portal to Gods dimension it’s very hard to put into words. Its a deep primal loving energy, the understanding and connection to nature you feel afterwards is incredible. Thank you so much Rodrigo we will be eternally grateful to you for sharing this blessing with us. Jack, Sabrina and Eddy

I'd like to thank Rodrigo for offering his services in the darkest times of my life. I was dealing with situations where I was committing self-betrayal, and couldn't even see how I disrespected myself. Rodrigo showed me a perspective where love was the biggest superpower we all had, love was what we all are. And showed me how to act out of heart space, not ego, not hate. He helped me see the oneness within all of us. He showed me that we all are innocent and how powerful it is to forgive. He offered me guided meditations that helped me to face my childhood traumas, those moments of neglect in my past and I learned how important it is to love and forgive. He also taught me how to do shadow work and discover what is hidden within me. I'm in a lot better place in my life after receiving his powerful healing and counselling. He is a good guide, a good teacher and a really good friend. He has life-changing experiences and wisdom to offer. I'd recommend his services with my whole heart. I learned a lot about myself during this journey and learned to approach myself with love and patience. And this is what we all need these days.
— Deniz from Turkey
In the realms of the unknown, the true seeker is best to be led by a guide who not only understands the keys to accessing the sacred space behind the veil, but also possesses the love and compassion to hold such a high frequency and vibration to protect you while you journey into the divine.
This is the value that is held by Rodrigo in facilitating medicines that radically transform the individual from their traumas and shadows.
When I experienced Bufo for the first time, I felt like I was about to be thrown off a roller coaster that had just brought me 100,000 feet in the air! I will never forget that moment, as I frantically began to panic from a power that felt beyond my capacity. It was in that moment, however, that Rodrigo locked his eyes with mine and I suddenly heard the deep, low tones of his voice settle me down into a a state of tranquility and peace. I truly could not have held that power on my own, and would never have found the glory that exists in the medicine without him. Rodrigo held my being and guided me into the highest vibrational state, where the divine holds its frequency and distributes the energy of existence.
A week after my first journey on the medicine, I was lucky enough to be Rodrigo’s guest at the first ever Bufo Alvarius conference in Mexico City. I can tell you with integrity that the second we stepped into the conference room, the organizers greeted Rodrigo with reverence, love and the greatest of respect. He immediately was brought on stage to address the crowd. I have witnessed, and filmed, many of Rodrigo’s ceremonies for others and I cannot begin to describe how impressed I am with the integrity of his work and the humanity he displays during it. His efforts are tireless, his attention to the person who has trusted him to enter ceremony is unshakeable, and his love for each person is, so far in my experience, unmatched. This is the medicine man who exists before you. These are just a few of the reasons I believe he is one of the best at leading someone into realms they could never have even dreamed of discovering.
At the end of my ceremonies (yes I have had many journeys with this beautiful man), I always feel the urge to kneel before him and bow with reverence to pay homage to his incredible work.
Rodrigo forever has my love, admiration and respect (3 words)
— Brandon from Toronto
Rodrigo has changed the way I’ve experienced medicine. He has brought me to the depths of the ocean and projected me out into the sky. He had me meet myself on so many different levels, only to experience it was all me. He’s not your typical medicine man, he has pushed me through my limits and allowed me to truly break through. I felt very safe and held and able to explore the depths of the medicine through his confidence and expertise. He has brought me to the vibration of love which I continue to radiate through my thoughts, words, and actions. I would recommend Rodrigo for a no nonsense life changing healing experience.
Three words to describe my experience with Rodrigo:
HERE WE GO!
— Michael from Toronto
I had the pleasure of sitting in ceremony with Rodrigo on numerous Occasion. So I can speak to his dedication from the hearth which I witnessed every time I sat in ceremony with him. The moment he is in ceremony he shifts to a Devine conduit. I felt completely safe even though I didn’t know him well at all. He created a space that was nothing short of pure love and service. I felt his work is guided from a much higher place than the eye can see… that was very evident to me as I got to know him more witnessing him during my ceremonies. His devotion to his medicine and assisting others in their journey is nothing short bliss. You can not help but, experience pure unconditional love for the experience, for him, for the medicine, for all those around you. I think he creates that energetically through his purified intention. I look forward to sitting with him again if our paths cross again and I know whoever sits with him in ceremony they are in good hands. Thank you Rodrigo for your medicine that is part of your souls journey. I am blessed to have experienced it. With deepest gratitude,
— Venus Zhora from BC
I came to find Ce Ācatl Rodrigo in what I can only describe as a divine message by way of Instagram. I did not follow him yet received one of his posts in my feed. I was immediately drawn to his message and something deep within me knew that I needed to work with him. My first experience was a Cacao and sound healing ceremony. It was magical! From the moment I met him I knew our paths crossed for a reason. Ce Ācatl’s large energy commands the space around him, but does so with a softness and grace.
After the Cacoa ceremony, I knew that Ce Ācatl was to be my guide for the Bufo Alvarius! Before the ceremony, we sat a while for discussion, where he kindly walked me through what was to come and answered all of my questions. I didn’t have many questions as I found his website to be so comprehensive and was excited to get started. Having a pretty good amount of experience with psychedelics, I understand the importance of the setting and especially a guide. I cannot stress to the level of which I felt completely safe and held with Ce Ācatl. He is an incredible being. He walked me through the mechanics of what was to come and made everything simple for me. We discussed my intentions and opened with a prayer and blessing. From the very beginning I felt completely safe and full of wonder.
To say I received deep insights from My new Bufo friend is a complete understatement. I keep thinking of a word to use, but sincerely there are none. It was the single most fantastic experience of my 50 years. I had no idea that this is what we are… I had no idea of the realms in which we really exist, but now I know, I am forever changed and it is so beautiful.
It was so amazingly wonderful that I returned back up the mountain two days later for another ceremony with the Bufo! I feel so blessed to know Ce Ācatl, for his sacrifice and determination to share this gift with the world. I highly recommend him to anyone with the desire to explore themselves, the universe and the deep healing that he has to offer.

Infinite nirvana oneness
— Dylan from Costa Rica
I met Ce Ācatl Rodrigo through a good friend whom I accompanied on their Bufo ceremony, and wasn’t really sure if I wanted to do the ceremony myself. After being around Ce Ācatl Rodrigo and seeing my friend through their ceremony I couldn’t wait to step into the healing space with him as I felt he was informative, competent, and so compassionate and I waited a very long time to feel this way for the right person to facilitate this ceremony and healing for me.
He held space with tenderness and knowledge and experience of a wise and humble medicine man.
The ceremony was so sacred and special it is something I will never forget.
I felt held, and safe in the space he created as well as his helpful information throughout the whole process.
I received healing I have been working for what seems like my whole life to receive in such a short amount of time with this amazing medicine and this amazing Shaman.
I would highly recommend Ce Ācatl Rodrigo and his Bufo ceremonies if you are seeking healing and insight in a safe and loving environment.
The words I would use to describe his ceremony and medicine would be powerful, safe, and effective.
Infinite Gratitude,
— Jennifer from Costa Rica
There were so many changes in me, that it was hard even for me to recognize myself. In a beneficial way. And I also felt that words couldn't describe all the experience and the love that you gave us in an unconditional way.
I grew up and struggled all my life, believing that I didn't deserve to be loved, and that God was disappointed by me. And when God wanted to show me how much He loves me, He brought Rodrigo into my life, and in his presence, I felt the reincarnation of love. I simply felt loved and cared for in a divine way in his presence. Even now, after a long time, his teachings remain in me, his personal example, being the guidance I seek to live my daily life. After other experiences in other ceremonies with other shamans, I now understand how important it is for the shaman to be congruent, honest, and to live in harmony with the divine and what he preaches. And Rodrigo lives in total harmony with everything he preaches. Above all, it helped me understand that power is in me and to not give it away. Therefore, from now on, for the rest of my life, when I'll have more ceremonies, they will only be supported by him. Because I felt safe, I felt loved and I felt that he cared. I was able to work with myself on a deeper level, because the space created by him, is a safe one. Curiously, he was born on the same day as my mother. Since then I always say that the two most important people in my life are born on the same day. One gave me life, and the other taught me to Live it. Thank you brother for all the unconditional love you have given me!
— Tudor from Romania
How did you found me and what was key for your decision to work with me?
Well, it happened as you know. First we’ve met in a container where you were co-facilitating medicine, but we had to end it sooner cause the organizer was out of alignment. The key decision of going forward with you was trusting your integrity and seeing your devotion to your work and service.
How did you see my facilitation on informing , preparing, space holding and integration guide
For me it was the most transformative experience so far. Your facilitation is straightforward and brought a lot of clarity of how I was (not) functioning in different aspects of my life. Also not giving solutions but direction to look for my own guidance and trust the experience was important.
How do you qualify my knowledge as a medicine man, counselor and guide?
I worked with many mentors so far, so I had some knowledge of what works for me and what doesn’t. The fact that you have transpersonal psychology and the shadow work background combined with the medicine work makes a big difference, your not slipping into any distortions or projections and you inspire trust. You are a clear channel and a mirror, depending on what’s needed, and simply your presence brought up what I had to look at for the change I asked for. The unconditional love space that you’re holding inspired me to transcend and integrate aspects of myself that I was not able before.
How did you felt in your ceremony or counseling session?
Safe and trusting
Did you felt safe and held so you can work on your healing?
Yes
Do you got deep and valuable insight from the medicines and services I provide?
Definitely the most amazing consciousness transformation container I have been so far.
Would you recommend my services?
Of course, happy to pay it forward.
