About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

**Embark on a Transformative Healing Journey: Meeting the Kambo Frog, Kambo, Bufo, and Mushroom Retreat**

After becoming certified Kambo facilitators in the summer of 2022, we felt a compelling need to deepen our understanding of the Kambo frog and its crucial role in the production of Kambo medicine. We sought firsthand knowledge of how the medicine is harvested and to ensure the ethical treatment of the frogs. Our goal was to ensure our medicine sources were trustworthy and humane while also building a deeper, personal connection with this sacred medicine to better serve our clients and fellow Kambo enthusiasts.

Our quest was a challenging one, fraught with difficulties and disheartening discoveries. We encountered places in the Amazon rainforest where frogs were mistreated, caged for tourism, or injured to produce more secretion for medicine sticks. We also found unreliable and cheaply produced medicine sticks, revealing a troubling international trade rooted in the exploitation of Kambo's significance.

Despite these challenges, our perseverance led us to a humble family in a small jungle village. This family, like us, is dedicated to protecting the frogs and their sacred medicine. Our collaboration with them gave birth to a transformative project aimed at promoting the use of Kambo collected from frogs living in their natural habitat. This project also seeks to connect with the vibrant energy of the jungle, support indigenous families, and raise awareness about ethical Kambo practices.

We are delighted to invite you to this special place where you can immerse yourself in the enchanting sounds and atmosphere of the jungle. What sets this retreat apart is the unparalleled opportunity to experience Kambo secretion directly from the frog, ensuring the medicine is as fresh and potent as possible.

But our journey doesn’t stop there. This retreat also offers the transformative experiences of Bufo and mushroom ceremonies, guiding you on a comprehensive healing journey. The Bufo Alvarius toad, known for its powerful 5-MeO-DMT secretion, offers profound insights and a deep sense of unity with the universe. Meanwhile, the sacred mushroom ceremonies provide a gentle yet profound path to personal growth and self-discovery.


Join us for this extraordinary retreat to connect with the spirit of the Kambo frog, Bufo toad, and sacred mushrooms. Enrich your practice and embark on a journey of transformation, healing, and profound connection with nature.
