Private Kambo Ceremony at Pachamama Munai
Cleanse, release and return to center
Private ceremonies for individuals, couples and small groups, held with prayer, intention and deep respect for this sacred Amazonian medicine.
The medicine
What is Kambo?
Kambo is a traditional Amazonian medicine from the secretion of the giant monkey tree frog, Phyllomedusa bicolor. For generations, Indigenous peoples of the Amazon have used it as a medicine of purification, strength and alignment.
Kambo is not psychedelic. It works through the physical and energetic body, often bringing a rapid, purposeful release of what is no longer needed. At Pachamama Munai, it is offered within a ceremonial container, with prayer and reverence for the traditions that carry it.
The experience

Your safety comes first

During the ceremony
What to expect
Kambo is an active, deeply physical process that invites your full presence. After we open the space and set intentions, the medicine is applied to a few small points on the skin. Effects usually begin within minutes and may include a faster heartbeat, heat rising through the body, pressure in the head or chest, sweating, nausea and purging.
This phase is intense but short, usually 15 to 30 minutes. The purge is part of the medicine’s intelligence: the body releasing what it has been holding. You are supported, guided and closely monitored the entire time, and you are never forced into anything.
As the intensity passes, many people feel lightness, clarity, a deep calm and renewed presence. We then rest, ground and gently integrate together.
