Self-Application Initiation
Welcome to the First Initiation:
Self-Application Training
A foundational journey in becoming a skilled Kambo Practitioner, or simply deepening your relationship with the medicine.
This 4-day in-person training offers a ceremonial gateway into the world of Kambo. It is a powerful immersion designed to support both aspiring practitioners and individuals seeking a deeper, safer connection to their own healing journey.
While this training is the first step toward becoming a certified Kambo Practitioner, the 12-month personal initiation is only required for those who wish to move forward to Phase 2: Practitioner Training. If your intention is self-healing and personal use, you are welcome to complete this training on its own, no further commitment required.
Who Is This For?
This initiation is open to:
~ Those called to begin the path toward becoming a Kambo Practitioner
~ Individuals seeking a deepened, structured relationship with Kambo for personal healing
~ Anyone who wishes to feel safe, grounded, and prepared to self-administer Kambo at home

~ You must have received a minimum of 3 Kambo sessions within the 12 months prior to the start date.
~ You are physically well and emotionally stable enough to participate in this training safely
