We are honored to support you in your journey towards self-discovery and healing through the use of sacred practices. Kambo is a beautiful healing ritual used mainly in South America, named after the poisonous secretions of the giant monkey frog, or Phyllomedusa bicolor. The frog secretes the substance as a defense mechanism to kill or subdue animals that try to eat it. Indigenous people have used kambo for centuries to heal and cleanse the body by strengthening its natural defenses and warding off bad luck. It was also believed to increase stamina and hunting skills. The peptides in kambo are noxious to the human body, so the immune system becomes hyperactive in an attempt to purge the toxicant from your system—hence, the vomiting, inflammation, and severe flu-like symptoms. Many practitioners describe 3 kambo treatments as “the vaccination,” due to its ability to intensely activate the immune system. It is highly advisable to complete the vaccine inside one Moon cycle for best results.

Ceremony typically begins with Hapé administration, followed by the application of Sananga on the eyes. Before proceeding with the Kambo application, the participant will drink about 3 liters of water. During the kambo treatment, Maria Camila will burn a series of spots on the skin with a piece of charred wood. Next, dried kambo is applied to the open wounds. From the wound, the kambo enters the lymphatic system and bloodstream, where it’s said to race around the body scanning for problems. Within mere minutes, the peptides in the kambo trigger an intense immune response, helping you purge of what no longer serves you, to make room for all that does. Throughout the ceremony Maria Camila will supervise your process and guide you, using oils, incenses, and other shamanic tools that will help enhance your experience.

These sessions are by default done at our retreat center in Austin, Texas. If you would like us to travel to you, please email MariaCamila@TheJourneyBackToSoul.Com in order to book.
