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.

1-1 Kambo Sessions
Our 1-1 sessions are designed for those seeking a private, deeply personalized 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 customized approach, or are undergoing specific life transitions. Before the session, we will discuss your intentions and ensure you're fully prepared for the ceremony.

Group Kambo Sessions
For those looking to experience Kambo in a communal setting, our group sessions offer a shared healing space where participants can benefit from the collective energy of the group. Group Kambo sessions foster a sense of community and mutual support, as each participant goes through their own process in a shared environment. These sessions are facilitated by skilled practitioners and are suitable for both newcomers and experienced individuals alike. We carefully hold space to ensure every participant feels supported and safe throughout the experience.

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.

Whether you are called to a 1-1 session or feel drawn to the collective energy of a group, our Kambo ceremonies are an invitation to cleanse, heal, and reconnect with your true self.
