Joël Brierre, or Joël the entheogenic yogi, has been a pioneer in the modern entheogenic movement, specifically in the realm of 5-MeO-DMT and Bufo Alvarious toad. His unique approach of applying classical yogic philosophy as geography for both preparation and integration from the entheogenic experience gained attention around the world at the first WBAC (World Bufo Alvarius Congress).
Joël works specifically in the retreat setting and with over a decade of retreat experience, has curated a container that is meant to facilitate lasting change. Drawing from a combination of eastern, as well as contemporary western integrative practices, the retreats give participants a space to safely unfold, address trauma, undergo cathartic release, and have the support system to put themselves back together (along with their emotional patterning) in a way that serves their higher calling. With a heavy focus on integration and aftercare, participants are able to create lasting change and find deeper states of peace than they thought conceivable
Joël and his team at Kaivalya Kollectiv are aiming to raise the bar for entheogenic and spiritual retreats, working in breathtakingly beautiful areas and led by top notch teachers and facilitators with extensive experience. Safety is the number one priority, followed closely by a warm and welcoming container that is both nurturing and expansive.
