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

Pre-Requisites:

 ~ 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

 ~ You’re able to approach the medicine with a calm, grounded presence and a mindset of humility, gratitude, and reverence.

 

What’s Included:

 ~ Comprehensive training in self-application techniques, safety protocols, and intro to protocols
