SAN FRANCISCO — In a move executives are calling "the natural evolution of experiential hospitality," Airbnb announced Tuesday the launch of AirbnBufo, a new platform allowing users to rent fully optimized ceremonial spaces for everything from psilocybin journeys to breath work and cacao circles complete with a resident DJ.
According to the company, each listing is evaluated using a proprietary algorithm that scores properties on location, amenities, and their ability to be quickly evacuated in the case of a spiritual emergency
Premium listings include geodesic domes in Crestone, Colorado, off-grid yurts on BLM land that may or may not be technically legal dwellings, and busted airstream trailers that have been decommissioned from Burning Man camps, as well as numerous other types of places people can get dosed together at.
Hosts can earn coveted SuperShaman status after receiving fifty consecutive five-star reviews and demonstrating an ability to maintain eye contact while explaining why their ceremony costs more than a semester of community college.
To improve guest satisfaction, AirbnBufo has also introduced a transparent review system.
"Beautiful altar, impeccable incense selection, but facilitator kept trying to sell us crypto during integration," wrote one verified guest.
Another deducted two stars after discovering the "ancient indigenous wisdom" portion of the retreat consisted entirely of quotes from Instagram wellness influencers projected onto a Himalayan salt wall.
Despite criticism from anthropologists and Indigenous leaders, early investor enthusiasm remains strong, with venture capital firms reportedly describing ceremonial spaces as "the next under-monetized asset class."
At press time, thousands of users had already booked ceremonies specifically advertised as "completely non-commercial experiences," beginning at just $2,499 per weekend.
