About this Retreat
Davi De Paula is one of our most respected teachers from Brazil! Davi was born and raised in the deep amazon of Acre Brazil. He is a well known spiritual leader of the Santo Daime lineage and the founder of the Nova Era Community where he offers community healing work, makes medicines during ‘feitio’, and receives visitors from all over the world.
With decades of experience, Davi has perfected the art of ‘feitio’, which is the making of Santo Daime sacred medicine sacrament. In addition to being a Daimista and Ayahuasquero, Davi has also become a master of the Kambo Frog medicine. He is a student at Umbanda Sagrada, where he studies the Afro-Brazilian culture that contains the lines of the Sacred Orixás, elementals of nature, Mediumship, Hinduism, and the Indigenous traditions of his region where he has strong alliances with all the local Indigenous Peoples.
Details of this retreat
Kambo Medicine The Phyllomedusa frog, nicknamed the Kambo frog, is found in the southern Amazon of Acre-Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia and Bolivia. It is sometimes referred to as the “frog vaccine” because it is considered a remedy by indigenous people for many illness whether they be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
The Kambo frog medicine is a powerful ally in supporting our health and well being at any time of the year and is particularly potent during seasonal shifts.
THE PROCESS
The physical effect is relatively short but can be intense. A person will typically feel a strong sensation of heat, dilation of blood vessels, and a fast heartbeat. It is possible to become pale and have a drop in blood pressure. Immediately prior to receiving, a person drinks lots of water to assist with the purging process. The medicine pulls toxins out from all parts of the body and usually results in vomiting or diarrhea. The entire process takes 20-45 minutes and most people feel “back to normal” 1 hour after. With this release the person feels lighter and cleaner with more energy. These benefits can be felt the day of the treatment and extend to weeks and months following.
RESEARCH
Research has revealed that the frog’s secretion contains a series of highly effective substances such as Delmorphin and Deltorphin which belong to the peptides group. These two peptides were unknown before the research with the Kambo frog was started in the 1980’s. Dermorphin is a potent analgesic and deltorphin can be applied in the treatment of ischemia. Both of these substances are synthetically produced by many pharmaceutical companies today.
