Alejandro Carbó

My name is Alejandro Carbó. I am a sensitive person, and I have always felt life intensely, both the beautiful and the painful. I know pain from the inside. I was bullied at school and lived through my parents’ divorce. For years I struggled with anorexia and bulimia. Later came betrayal, in love and in business, and a time when I lost everything I had built.

Before plant medicine, my search took me through two years of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, two months backpacking in northern India, a ten-day Vipassana retreat and a year and a half working on nutrition and movement with Martin Ekholm. In 2017 I sat in my first Ayahuasca ceremony, and for the first time the scattered pieces of my life made sense.

Since then I have worked with Ayahuasca, San Pedro, Magic Mushrooms, Bufo Alvarius, Yopo, Peyote and Kambó. The cacti are the medicines I feel closest to. I travelled to Oaxaca, Mexico, in 2018 and to the Sacred Valley of Peru in 2025, and I have sat with many lineages. The one that touches me most deeply is the Wixárika tradition of Mexico, through Marakame Otakame Rogelio Carrillo and Marakame Modesto Rivera De La Cruz. I also have a special connection with Taita Isaías Muñoz and the songs of the Yawanawá. In 2024, I completed the ICEERS AyaSafety training because I believe tradition and safety must walk together.

The hardest thing I have ever done was coming through my last breakup: two years of depression and betrayal. The medicine did not do the work for me, but it gave me the clarity and strength to face what I had been avoiding. That is when I understood that pain, when it is held well, can become the best teacher.

My other medicine is walking. Since 2020, I have walked the trails of Ibiza alone and with friends, and since 2026 I have been guiding others. I feel a deep connection with the Sun, and I go out to meet it at sunrise and sunset. The wild northwest of the island, places like Punta de Ses Torretes, is where my mind goes quiet. When I walk alone in nature, I walk through what I cannot think through.

I have been through the same places many people carry with them when they come to us. That is why I want to walk beside others through them. Of all the tools I have found, plant medicines are the most powerful for this work, when held with respect, care and the support of people who know the way.

For me, passion only means something when it becomes love in action. Together with a wonderful family, that is what we try to do: create beauty and share what has changed our lives.
