I was on the same retreat as the person who wrote the last review about Finland and my experience of the retreat was totally different. Funny how human mind experiences things so differently, but it's all ok :). For me there was no deeply egoistic people in the staff, no disturbing music that took me away from my progress, quite the opposite & spot on, no 'zombo programing statements' of any organization in it, no manipulating techniques, no danger or cluelessness in anyone's work, no constant interrupting (sometimes it is maybe necessary when someone is talking actual bullshit, or wanting to dictate how things & other's experiences are, but it was done nicely, not rudely). No enforcing how I should feel, think or speak, just a firm but kind reminder a few times that we should talk as 'I' about our own views instead of making them 'the truth' to everyone by using 'we', and kind reminders of some other true stuff. Help was there if needed at all times, especially during the sessions, and we were also told so, all you had to do was ask, but shouldn't maybe expect staff to be always ready on that same second if something else was necessary to deal with and I didn't get insulted if I had to purge into a plastic bag instead of a bucket. Also no 'constant selling as much as they could without respect to the medicine or participants', they told about the remedies available there, the times that they were available and the way they worked & what they were, appropiately, and I'm so very glad they did, because the Bufo experience had a profound effect on me & my life. The whole retread had that effect, everything in it, also the 'negative' ones coz they are just guides to look at my self/my reactions, and the staff made all that is needed to make me comfortable and I had all the help I needed before, during and after the retreat. Maybe to some people nothing is enough and all retreats are not for everyone, but I, and others too, healed greatly on that one, so thank you <3
