I am thrilled to announce the evolution of this years retreat. This will be a 15 day experience in total which includes the 5 days prior and 5 days after the physical retreat of proper care, diet, and love to the mind body and spirit. We will be diving into ourselves in an all encompassed journey to get to know who we are and clear out the gunk that has been causing imbalance in our bodies, minds, and lives. 

Starting on August 29  we will begin the integral rice diet together. Those first 5 days will be in the comfort of your own home but connected in to the energy of our group and space via whatsapp where we will have daily checkins as needed and necessary as we embark on this journey together. This integral rice diet will continue on into the retreat (all 5 days) and you will then leave the retreat continuing this diet for the next 5 days after. ending on September 4. This is an essential and important part of the journey each participant will be taking. 

Why the integral rice diet in combination with the kambo retreat?
After many years of holding these retreats and containers it was my personal mission to find a method and diet that correlated and supported the kambo journey in the most wholesome of ways. 
Asking the necessary questions such as:
How can the participants working with kambo integrate the experience more fully?
What diet is best to properly support the process kambo takes us through?
What dietary choices can we make as a group that will lead to the most complete experience all the way down on a cellular level and then thereafter stick with us and our lives for long periods of time to come?

After spending some time with my teacher in Mexico diving deeper into my own self work and journey, once again... the answers came through personal experience and paying close attention. Receiving the answers needed in regards to how we can take this work and integrate it better providing lasting changes to our health, our minds, and our lives. Because what is the point of doing something so powerful and empowering like this if it doesn't stick and last into our day to day experiences thereafter?

Doing 5 days of the integral rice diet prior to the retreat will begin to prepare our temples (the body) and our psyche (the mind) so we can dive into ourselves with more openness and support. The rice diet begins to clean and purify the blood (our blood is linked to our mind). So in cleaning the blood we begin to pin point the place within our bodies that tends to cause the most inhibitions. We must understand that every aspect of our mind, our emotions, and our spirits are reflected through the state of our bodies. So, taking care of the body is the first step to taking care of all other aspects of ourselves in a wholesome way. 

In continuing the rice diet throughout the 5 days we will then be together also working with kambo, sananga, hape', and kundalini yoga we will have opportunities to dive and explore more aspects of ourselves and our healing than were possible before. Showing up in self work that could have a lasting effect on us for the remainder of our lives.

This experience will give us opportunities to learn about:

  • the root cause of traumas we have experienced
  • things disrupting our hormonal systems
  • deficiencies we may have been experiencing but were unaware of
  • ways to strengthen out nervous system so we can experience life with less stress
  • calcifications in the body that have been disrupting our ability to connect to our own intuition
  • food allergies or intolerances we may have not been aware of before
  • subconscious patterning in our mind that we weren't aware was causing havoc in our lives
  • inner child work and patterning that has continued cycles of suffering and personal judgement, self-consciousness, pain, rejection, etc.
  • soul retrieval work so we can reclaim parts and aspects of ourselves we have been taught to deny, hate, ridicule, or reject
  • reclamation of our own power and sovereignty 
  • opportunity to truly get to know who we are- the comfortable and uncomfortable- so we can begin a more full practice of true self love and acceptance
  • and so much more

We will then continue the rice diet 5 days after the retreat August 29-September 12 and officially shift into the rest of our lives on September 13. These 5 days where you return back home and begin the integration process after the retreat will be a pivotal time and opportunity to take the experience you've just been through and through will and determination begin to own it and claim it in your every day life back home. These 5 days afterwards will also be a time of proper integration of the work we did in the retreat so that the experience can set into your body, your cells, your being, your mind, and create a solid foundation into every facet of who you are within your life. 

This experience will be an opportunity to truly experience yourself and see what you are capable of and what is possible. There will be moments of challenge and discomfort but that is the juicy magic of it all. The challenges we choose to undergo that expand our lives and consciousness beyond what we *thought* or *believed* was possible prior. Within that discomfort we get to meet ourselves again with new eyes and take the wisdom and lessons we learned with us so we can carry them in our being into every future possibility that presents itself from there onward. 

Is the rice aspect of the retreat a necessary thing for everyone to partake in?
 YES! Unless you have very specific things going on with you and we have talked about specific other adjustments in your consultation process then the rice diet will be a mandatory experience for every participant. It is essential that we step into this container together moving through and supporting one another through this journey. 

Will there be support for me as I am doing this rice diet?
Absolutely! We will be doing a group call prior to the diet to go over the list of supplies needed, how it will all work, and give each person an opportunity to set their intention before the rice diet starts. We will set this group up through whatsapp where we will be able to regularly check in with one another, ask questions, and receive support as we all are moving through this process together. 

Will the supplies for the rice diet be provided to me?
No. I will send a clear list to every participant the week or 2 leading up to the start of the rice diet (August 20) so everyone can ensure to get everything they will need prior to the date. Below I will also include the list of items everyone will be needing to get so you can slowly acquire some of these things between now and August 20. The amazing thing about the rice diet is it's super simple and very affordable. With that said, the quality and type of items you get does matter- always opt for gluten free, GMO-free, and whole ingredients. This means whole grain rice such as red rice or black sweet rice and gluten free tamari if available to you. 

Where can I acquire the ingredients I will be needing for this integral rice diet?
I get most of my own personal supplies at my nearest Asian market. They have most of what I need there and at a very affordable price. The Giving Greens which is a high quality vegetable and enzyme powder will also be an essential thing everyone will need to have. This I will send a direct link to each participant so they can get their own supply. The Giving Green powder will help supplement further nutrients and vitamins as you are doing the rice to help support an overall balanced dietary experience throughout this process. 

Will there be rice and Giving Greens available to us at the retreat itself the 25-30?
Yes! I will be preparing our rice meals throughout the retreat. I will also having Giving Greens available to us throughout the retreat. The rice and Giving Greens supply you will need will be for the 10 days (5 days before and 5 days after the retreat) so you can prepare and make your own meals at home. 

Can I continue my supplement, herb, or vitamin regimens along with the rice diet?
Yes, absolutely! And I do recommend it as you may notice that since your body will be cleaning out so much you will begin to receive even more benefits from your supplement/vitamin/herb regimens now that your body is better able to absorb those nutrients! We may also be muscle testing you throughout and giving you recommendations on other supplements/vitamins/herbs/foods to begin incorporating into your regimen and diet throughout this process according to your needs and what shows up for you through this process. 

What is the overall goal of this retreat and these 15 days?
To provide you with an experience that feels wholesome and all encompassed. That doesn't just give you a 5 day experience but also includes an empowering process before and after so you can better integrate your journey and experiences in the retreat into your day to day life. The rice will help to integrate the kambo detox deep into your being and cells so it can stay with you for far longer and help you to become more self aware so you can make healthier and more wholesome choices in the future. We also hope to provide a safe space for you to self explore, let things come up to the surface, play, cry, laugh, express... in any and all ways that may be necessary for you as you unravel into the truth of yourself and who you are. We want to provide a container for you to find joy in existing in the body you were born into and remember what it feels like to feel GOOD and healthy again.

ABOUT OUR RETREATS

Our Kambo and Kundalini Yoga Immersion Retreats on a fusion of Eastern and Amazonian traditions that Angela has been studying for the past 7 years. Her journey and training with Kundalini Yoga while in India as well as her initiations with both Kambo and plant medicines is what has brought to life this unique retreat experience. She has studied alongside indigenous peoples of the jungle and learned from some of the best Kundalini yoga teachers in the world on her own self journey to now bring you this Retreat she has been offering across the world the past 5 years.

This retreat is a journey within ourselves and the opportunity to connect to our bodies as well as our spirits, energy, and truths. It is the opportunity to clear away much of the fog and gunk that has distracted us from connecting to ourselves and world around on a pure level.

Kambo is a natural medicine from the Amazon that helps the body to purge much of the toxins, blocks, dense energies, and emotional build up that has us feeling heavy, possibly sick, disconnected, and out of alignment. It clears the body on a physical level, clears the heavy emotions we have been possibly suppressing for years, rebalance the energy back to a higher vibrational frequency, and reconnects us to our spirits and what it means to really feel good. Kundalini yoga also teaches us how to feel the way energy moves through us, how to wake ourselves back up, and how to reconnect with our power and truths.

Together Kundalini Yoga and Kambo help us on all aspects: physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually.

ABOUT THE INTEGRAL RICE DIET

INTEGRAL ORGANIC RICE DIET:

Grocery list of what you will need (I bought most things I needed from an Asian market):
-GMO-free whole grain rice - I personally work with red rice or black sweet rice

-Tamari - gluten free tamari is best and it needs to specifically be tamari due to the specific fermentation process tamari goes through to provide the benefits that it does for the system

-Black sesame seed oil

-Rice vinegar

-White and/or Black sesame seeds

-Himalayan Salt

-Nori

-Dried Seaweed which you'll rehydrate

-Oolong Tea

-Go Greens (I will send you a link and code)


Optional- bone or vegetable broth and teas/herbs/supplements/essential oils that are renourishing to the system and have intentional reasons behind working with them to support you and your body during the rice diet


.


This diet consists of eating only integral rice for at least 10 days. In cereal, or cream, every day. I

practice it and I tell you that if you want to try something extraordinary for your health, this is what you should put into practice. It will not prevent you from continuing to work, it is not like fasting.

However, he hopes to experience various elimination of toxins or toxic because after a few days the rice begins to detoxify. Persevere! You will be rewarded beyond your expectations, it is fabulous from every point of view, physical, mental, personality.

This diet is extraordinarily effective, heals or improves most physiological diseases, even those

incurables. (Arthritis - asthma - atherosclerosis - cancers - cystitis - diabetes - eccema - cholesterol- epilepsy - gout - hypertension - hypotension - obesity - anorexia - Parkinson - psoriasis - migraine- rheumatism - colds - sinusitis - multiple sclerosis - culebilla, etc.) Psychological (Depression -Neurasthenia - Autism - Paranoia - Schizophrenia) and of course also to stay fit and maintain perfect health to old age.

Why?

The result of everything we absorb is in the blood.

This diet purifies the blood in 10 days.

The blood cleans the accumulated toxins in 30 days.

The organs are regenerated in 90 days, the entire body in 1 year.

If you really want to prove the effectiveness of this diet, try it for 10 days. You will be transported to another world, that of physical, mental, and spiritual health.

It is quite simple:

It consumes only organic integral rice in each meal.

Drink little by little according to your thirst (chew your drink) - chew as much as you can also rice. It is like fasting, but without hunger.

It is not an end. It must mark the beginning of a deep change in your lifestyle and in your eating

habits according to universal principles, otherwise you will inevitably fall into illness or despair.

10 days to start, you can always start over time when you feel the need. Then to continue the road to healing you must continue with the standard diet of bioenergetic nutrition such as the teaching center channel.

The first 3 days can be a bit difficult mentally, keep your mind busy and stay active.

Why rice? As rice does not contain purines, that is why rice is the cereal of detoxification and

therefore the cereal of healing. If you have any problem, always return to rice.

CAUTION: Rice has a great power to purify the body, thus released toxins are transported by blood before being eliminated by the excretory system. It is easy to understand that, in case of strong accumulation, this sudden diffusion of waste throughout the body can cause elimination phenomena equivalent to a mini poisoning (diarrhea, constipation, migraines, attacks of weakness).


Cooking rice:

Measure: a cup = 225 gr - 1 cup of raw rice yields 3 cups of cooked rice.

One cup cooked rice per person.

Container: steam pressure pot (valve pressure pot, pressure cooker.)

Or stainless-steel pot of surgical quality with lid.

Amount:

One cup of rice.

Two cups of water.

One pinch with three salt fingers.

Place the rice on a strainer, rinse it with clean cold water, drain it and wander it in the pot.

Add the pinch of salt and cold pure water, shake slightly to spread the grains throughout the surface of the bottom, this also helps to check the quality of the rice, the more grains float on the surface, the less the quality will be.

Place the pot to the fire without a lid, lead to light boiling, place the lid, and let the pressure increase, to the “maximum pressure” valve signal, lower the heat to a minimum and if necessary, place a diffuser.

From this moment it counts 45 minutes. 1 hour in normal pot.

When time has elapsed, remove the fire container, and wait for the pressure to fall alone, in this way the grains of the background will detach more easily.

Open the lid and remove the rice.

Cooked rice in this way has a nut flavor, a soft and delicious flavor and is particularly digestible, but chew it well anyway.

Cereal in cream:

Heat the rice or cereal slightly in a pan over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Let it cool and shine it very fine to make some flour.

For one part of roasted cereal flour, add five parts of water, bring to a boil, and let cook over low

heat for 15 minutes.

Mix specially made from roasted grains: in decreasing quantities: rice, barley, wheat, oatmeal,

sesame and azukis, all finely ground. Recommended in the form of baby cream and sick people with lack of appetite. Very digestible.

No gluten: whole rice, sweet rice, quinoa, azukis.

For a long -term cure, add a pinch of parsley to rice.

Gomasio (roasted sesame and salt of l`himalaya) should be prepared in the proportion of one part salt/7 parts sesame or by one salt/12 sesame.

Do body exercises every day even if you are tired.

Drink little by little (swallow in the mouth or chew the liquids or drink well), chew the rice well, even the cream.


Why rice:

Since we are following this diet, we must first consider it in the light of the Yin-Yang principle. Some foods are too Yin, others too Yang. Rice is a balanced food. The K/Na relationship that serves as a reference for being one of the predominant elements that are considered is perfect, that is, K (potassium) and Na (sodium).

You should know that more than one billion humans on this planet eat exclusively rice. It is the basic food of many people around the world.

Rice is rich in starch and the human being digests it perfectly. Today some people consider that

gluten is responsible for many digestive disorders, or at least digestive discomfort. And the rice

does not contain it, unlike wheat.

Rice contains fiber, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, sulfur, chlorine, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, arsenic, iodine, fluoride, vitamins A, B1 and B3. And we can say that it is the ideal food because it is suitable for both children and older people and we athletes. It never causes allergies and even tends to relieve stomach acidity. Protects against certain cancers (colon, breast, prostate).

It tends to reduce cholesterol, reduces blood sugar levels. Cooking rice water is well known and

recommended for diarrhea. On the other hand, rice bran is a powerful laxative. All this with

comprehensive rice of course. Because white rice is pure starch and has become poor in minerals and vitamins of group B, in particular. Precooked rice is white rice, but it is considered a quick sugar and at all a slow sugar, this is particularly important for athletes.

Its protein content is high, around 8%, therefore, lower than wheat, but on the other hand superior in essential amino acids such as cystine, histidine, lysine, especially when, in addition, it is germinated.

I recommend a diet based on rice for high blood pressure, gastrointestinal and renal conditions,

heart failure, heart disease and nervous system disorders. Rice water, as we have seen, is used

against diarrhea because it is astringent, regulatory and phosphates rich.

The rice will cook in water, and you will have to wait until the rice has absorbed all the water of

cooking, otherwise you will throw all the minerals through the sink.

Never mix or combine other foods with starch such as potatoes, for example, or bread on the same dish. These two substances, due to their antagonism, form in the stomach and in the intestine a non-digestible chemical, that rots in the intestine and, therefore, becomes harmful, which would be a pity.

Specific action of certain foods that can accompany this cure.

Rice is a powerful detoxifying blood, cleanse deep tissues.

Kasha and very energetic, well for weakened and cold people.

The barley has a soothing action on the nervous system.

The millet strengthens the bone system in case of decalcification.

Oatmeal: muscle and nervous stimulant but heats up.

Corn: In cases of pessimism, sadness, depression.

Umeboshi: digestive system, stomach, liver.

Gomasio: Detoxifies blood and strengthens the intestines.

Miso: powerful fortifier of Yang. Neutralize chemicals and radiation.

Tamari: Strengthens the heart. Neuralgia, sciatica.

Mu tea: for people weakened by Yin. Yang tonic.

🌿 KAMBO AND MEDICINE SESSIONS 🌿

This retreat will include 3 kambo sessions and unlimited sananga and hape ceremonies and sessions while you are here. These 3 sessions will give you a full reset of your body back into equilibrium or balance. It will also rebalance your hormonal system and clean away toxins and build up in the system. This is known as a 3 by 3 and is a traditional way kambo has been used for generations to bring the body back into balance and harmony.
 
I like to think of this medicine as the "super human" medicine because of it's ability to clean the body and bring us back to ourselves. After sessions the senses are heightened: clearer mind and thinking, more ability to taste, sense of smell more keen, colors look brighter and more vivid. Etc. It is like this fog that has built up in our bodies and therefore minds is lifted and you are experiencing the world new and fresh once again.
 
This medicine is a great way to give you body some love as well as offer healing to the body mind and spirit. It helps us to release old patterns that are no longer working, get to the root of a trauma and heal it, and so much more.

  ↓

🧘 KUNDALINI YOGA 🧘

We will be also complimenting the kambo sessions with a daily morning routine of kundalini yoga. This yoga practice is a yoga specifically for strengthening the spirit. It will give you experiences that will help you to get in touch with your body, breath, and mind. It will help clear away subconscious patterns and provide you with tools to help you manage stress, anxiety, fears, etc.
I offer kundalini yoga because I  have first-handedly experienced the amazing benefits it has when also working with kambo. It offers tools for integration so we can take these practices back into our daily lives and continue to heal and empower ourselves every single day.
 
To find more info on kundalini yoga simply google or youtube "kundalini yoga as taught by yogi bhajan"
This form of yoga I have been certified in. I spent 6 months in India and a month in ashram during my YTT studying this yoga very in depth. Since then I have practiced it regularly. I also lived in a Kundalini yoga community in Thailand for a year practicing every day as well as facilitating kambo sessions. This is where my inspiration for these retreats have come from! I have been able to see and experience the amazing benefits and connections it has and continues to give me to myself and my spirit. I am now so excited to be sharing this all with you!

🐸ABOUT KAMBO🐸

 
Kambo is a medicine that comes from the jungles of South America. This medicine is a secretion from a frog known as the "monkey tree frog". This secretion has a strong detoxing effect on mammals and allows for deep healing and releasing processes to take place.
 
Kambo holds many benefits for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. In a kambo experience there are many parts of our self being effected all at once. The most obvious one is the physical body. As the physical body begins to purge and release we are actually able to see toxins leave the body and often times clients are able to feel a strong release that has taken place after a kambo session.
 
Kambo helps heal and reset the body on multiple levels. Many people come to sit with kambo because they want to clean their body and others because they want the experience of connecting with the kambo spirit. Both of these things can take place and regardless of your reasoning this medicine has a powerful healing effect on many levels.
 
Kambo has what is called "peptides" in it that heal on many levels and is also scientifically and medically backed up for it's potentials.
 
"The major peptides identified in the Kambo secretion include:
Phyllomedusin – strongly affects intestines, bowels and contributes to deep purging of toxins.
 
Phyllokinin and Phyllomedusin – both potent vessel dilators, increasing the permeability of the blood-brain barrier.
 
Caerulein and Sauvagine – cause a fall in blood pressure accompanied by tachycardia, stimulating the adrenal cortex and the pituitary gland and contributing to heightened sensory perception and increased stamina. These peptides have a strong analgesic effect, enhance endurance, increase physical strength, and in general, enhance the capacity to manage physical pain and stress. They possess medical uses as digestive aids, and have demonstrated analgesic effects for those with renal colic, pain due to peripheral vascular insufficiency and cancer.
 
Dermorphin and Deltorphin are potent opioid peptides 4000 times stronger than morphine and 40 times stronger than endogenic b-endorphines.
 
The bioactive peptides and neuropeptides present in Kambo cover a wide range of potential medical uses including:
 
depression
migraines
blood circulation problems
vascular insufficiency
organ diseases
skin and eyes issues
fertility problems
AID’s
hepatitis
cancer
brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
       
      Source: Kambo Alchemy
       
      Kambo has been used to help people also clear themselves from drugs and pharmaceuticals. I have worked with clients who have had a history with drugs such as heroine or amphetamines; as well as worked with individuals wanting to clear their system of certain pharmaceuticals that may have a strong addictive hold on them.
       
      It is said that Kambo is the strongest vaccine in the entire world and boosts the immune system by 300%. It also has a powerful way of strengthening the nervous system which can support in individual in being less prone to stress or anxiety. When we have a strong nervous system we are also able to take on life more centered and also begin a powerful journey of actually lifting our own frequency and vibration into higher states of consciousness.

      🌱ABOUT SANANGA🌱

       
      "The plant-based sananga eye drops—brewed from the Tabernaemontana genus of shrubs native to the upper Amazon—are said to enhance eyesight and have long been used by indigenous tribes to prevent and treat ocular diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, near-sightedness, and blindness. But sananga is also commonly used to treat skin diseases, infections, arthritis, cancer, and perhaps most interestingly, to clear a person of what is called panema—anxiety, depression, bad luck, negative energies, and laziness."
      Source:  Psychedelic Times
       
      The process with Sananga can fluctuate in how long it lasts. When placed in the eyes it has a burning effect as it is making it's way through the system and opening up new energetic pathways. We worked with sananga prior to Kambo because it prepares the emotional body as well as the energetic body for the deep release that can take place with Kambo. It brings stuck and suppressed emotions the surface and opens the ceremonial space so clients have an opportunity to better understand what they are going to be releasing while sitting with Kambo.
       

        ↓

      🌱ABOUT HAPE🌱

       
      Hape is a finally ground mapacho or tobacco snuff mixed with other plants. There are many different varieties of hape and each one can be used to help impact and shift the energetic body in various ways.
       
      Hape is a medicine we may or may not use in every session. It is used towards the end of the ceremony or even while a client is sitting with Kambo. Hape can act as a purgative and help the clients to surrender deeper and release more. It also can have an incredible grounding effect on the energetic body as well as leave the mind feeling much clearer and focused.
       
      "Rapé can help you in the following ways
      • Helps focus and sharpen the mind.
      • Clears a person or space of distracting, bad energies in preparation for intention setting.
      • Detoxes both body and mind and clears your energetic field. Because of this, rapé is often used in conjunction with ayahuasca ceremonies.
      • Clears sinuses of mucus and bacteria, thereby helping to combat colds and respiratory ailments.
      • Provides a calming, grounding effect on the emotions that lasts much longer that the initial sensation.
      • Can be used in conjunction with other treatments for addiction and mental illness."

         ↓ 

        CEREMONY PROCESS

         
        What to expect when coming to a kambo ceremony or session? 
        Every session with me starts with a grounding into the space. I take you through a guided meditation that allows you to connect with your breath, connect and check in with your body, and provides you with tools that you will be able to take with you throughout your Kambo journey. This allows each person the opportunity to drop into the present moment and move into a space of allowing and trust.
         
        We then call in the space and begin to create an energy and a tone for the journey we are about to go on. Invoking the space and allowing the spirits of these medicines we are working with to come in.
         
        We then open the space working with sananga which allows things to begin surfacing. A sananga session typically lasts around 10 minutes. Once the sananga has been served then I will guide you with drumming and singing. After sananga we then move into working with Kambo.
         
        Right before sitting with Kambo each client drinks immediately before 1 and a half to 2 liters of water. This water is the carrier for the toxins that are about to be released from the body. This is an important step in working with Kambo and some clients find it helps them to build a new relationship with the water element.
         
        Kambo is placed onto the body through burns made in the skin called portals. These portals are created by burning the first layer of skin off. This leaves small surface holes on the skin which allows the medicine to then be placed on them so the medicine can enter in through the lymph system.
         
        Kambo typically takes around 5 minutes for it to set on. It is important to note that this medicine is NOT psychoactive so the experience is very grounding and happening within the body and clients are typically quite conscious and aware of everything that is happening. A client will begin to feel heat rise in the body and the heart begin to beat a bit faster. Sometime swelling can occur in and around the face as well as other parts of the body occasionally. Swelling doesn't always occur but it can if the body is going through a deeper cleansing process. If swelling does occur this is a good sign that the medicine is working deeper.
         
        A Kambo experience is typically around 20 minutes long. However, the kambo session as a whole is usually around 2 hours for private sessions and up to 3 or 4 for group sessions.  One of the things I like about Kambo is that it is a very powerful process but is also a short one. So, it is a good experience in learning to surrender to the medicine and also knowing that everything is temporary.
         
        When sitting with Kambo a purge begins to come on and clients can release and purge in various ways:
         
        • Vomiting (cleaning the insides of the body: organs, tissues, mental thoughts, etc.)
        • Pooping (lower intestines are cleaning out; bathroom near by if this is process occurs)
        • Shaking (nervous system releasing trauma and strengthening)
        • Tetany or Lobster hands (when the body is releasing trauma)
        • Crying or emotional release (finally feeling those feelings that have been needed to be felt in order to be healed)
           
        All of these forms of purge all the body to go through a releasing process. When we go through traumatic situations the body has a tendency to hold onto this. It then is held within the body in muscle memory. So as we are purging we are not only purging the water but also all the things the body has been suppressing: stories, traumas, illness, dis-ease, emotions, mental loops, etc.
         
        During or after a kambo session we may also work with hape. Hape is used to allow anything else that has been suppressed in the system to be release and purged. It also has an incredible healing and grounding effect. I like to think of this medicine as the "prayer medicine" because connecting to Father Tobacco in a sacred way has reminded me of the power of prayers. Being clear on what it is I am calling in and creating space in my body and mind for what stories I no longer want to live in. This is a good time to be really clear on what it is each client is calling into their lives. Really reflecting on the life they want to create and step into on the next chapter of life.
         
        NOTE: I guide each session intuitively with various instruments, music, and sounds. This creates a path for clients to come out of their minds and into the surrendered experience with the medicine.
         
         

        💡 HOW TO PREPARE FOR A CEREMONY 💡

         
        First things first, you will want to come equipped with an intention or a prayer in mind for yourself and for your life. This can be anything from want to connect with your body and heal it to wanting to clear space to manifest a promotion in your career or start a new project. Kambo is a great way to release things we have been holding onto and when this happens the space that is created allows us to then manifest something new: closing old doors and opening new ones.
         
        You can write your intention down. You can write as much as you need or as little as you feel. Write about what it is you are wanting to let go of as well as what it is that you are calling into your life. Bring this with you as well as if you have any altar items you feel called to bring with you as a reminders and support on why you are doing this journey.
         
        You will wanting to begin fasting 12 hours prior to the session. Typically all sessions are done in the morning so a natural fast can take place while you are sleeping throughout the night. However, it is possible to do the session later on if you are comfortable fasting throughout the day. The important part is that the fast is done so that they system has a break and there is no food or liquids (except water) in the system.
         
         

         WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU 

        • Comfortable clothing for sessions and yoga
        • A journal
        • Any altar items that remind you of your power
        • Anything that brings comfort and relaxation
        • Any art supplies you feel to bring
        • Yourself: open hearted and ready for transformation

Before the sessions we will do kundalini movements, breathwork, and yoga to help prep you for the session. Then we will work with sananga, kambo, and hape. Each night we will close with an integration circle together to support you through your process.
         
        The 5th day we will have breakfast together and a closing circle then offer our goodbyes or see you laters.
