About Our 1-1 and Group Kambo Sessions

At The Huachuma Project, we offer both individual and group Kambo sessions, each tailored to meet your unique healing needs. Kambo, a powerful Amazonian frog medicine, is known for its detoxifying and immune-boosting properties. This sacred medicine works on both a physical and energetic level, helping to cleanse the body, release emotional blockages, and open the path to deep personal transformation.

What is Kambo?
Kambo is a traditional Amazonian medicine derived from the secretion of the giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor). Used for centuries by indigenous tribes like the Matsés of Peru, Kambo is renowned for its powerful purgative effects, helping to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit. It shifts 'Panema' (dark energies) and restores balance and vitality, leading to transformative experiences.

1-1 Kambo Sessions
Our 1-1 sessions are designed for those seeking a private, deeply personalised healing experience. In these sessions, you receive focused attention from our experienced Kambo practitioners, allowing for a safe and intimate space to explore your healing journey. These sessions are ideal for individuals who prefer privacy, require a customised approach, or are undergoing specific life transitions. Before the session, we will discuss your intentions and ensure you're fully prepared for the ceremony.

What to Expect
Whether in a 1-1 or group setting, our Kambo ceremonies follow a structured yet gentle process. After setting your intention, we begin with the application of Kambo to specific points on the skin, allowing the medicine to enter your lymphatic system. You will experience two distinct phases: the 'Fire Phase,' where toxins are purged from the body, and the 'Water Phase,' a period of deep relaxation and integration. Optional additions such as Sananga eye drops or Hapé snuff are available to complement your experience.

Post-treatment, we provide a nourishing meal and offer integration discussions to support you in processing your journey. We also encourage ongoing reflection and self-care in the days following your Kambo session for maximum benefit.

Safety and Preparation
Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Our Kambo practitioners are highly trained, with years of experience in safely administering the medicine. You will receive detailed preparation guidelines before your session, including dietary recommendations and other protocols to enhance your experience. After the session, we remain available for any follow-up questions or support during your integration process.

Our Kambo ceremonies are an invitation to cleanse, heal, and reconnect with your true self.

Schedule

Ceremony duration
San Pedro ceremonies last between 6 and 15 hours and flow organically, guided by the needs of the group. The ceremony itself is rooted in presence and introspection, with no storytelling from facilitators, allowing participants to focus inwardly. Guests are encouraged to bring a journal to document their personal experiences.

During the cermony
Facilitators provide live music, meditative guidance, and grounding support throughout the ceremony. Silent periods and communal connection allow for deep individual reflection and emotional processing.
Guests must adhere to the retreat's Code of Conduct and Ethics to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all. Smoking or vaping during ceremonies is strictly prohibited.

Gradual closure
Ceremonies transition naturally into integrative practices, such as a shared dinner, storytelling, and communitas to foster connection and collective healing. The group often bonds through shared reflection and relaxed, tribe-like vibes.
