Our sacred medicines for this experience:
The sacred medicines that we share for this experience are carefully selected, prepared, and tested by your facilitators.
Ceremony #1: Kambo
Kambo is a natural medicine used in traditional healing practices, especially by indigenous tribes in the Amazon. It comes from the secretion of a frog called the giant monkey frog, also known as the Phyllomedusa bicolor. The secretion is collected and then applied to small burns on the skin, allowing it to enter the body.
What Is Kambo?
Source: Kambo is a secretion from the giant monkey frog, native to the Amazon rainforest.
Purpose: Traditionally, it’s used for cleansing the body, strengthening the immune system, and improving overall health.
Effects of Kambo
Physical Cleansing: Kambo is known for its intense purging effects, which might include vomiting, sweating, and or going #2. This is considered a form of detoxification, helping the body to release toxins and reset itself.
Emotional Release: Many people experience an emotional cleanse, where they might feel a release of pent-up emotions or trauma.
Increased Energy: After the initial intense effects, many report feeling a surge of energy, mental clarity, and a sense of overall well-being.
Improved Immune Function: Some people believe that Kambo strengthens the immune system and improves their body's ability to fight off illness.
Ceremony #2: Bufo
Bufo, also known as Bufo alvarius or the Colorado River toad, is a sacred medicine derived from the secretion of this toad. The secretion contains 5-MeO-DMT, a powerful psychedelic compound that induces profound spiritual experiences. Bufo is often used in shamanic ceremonies to facilitate deep healing and transformation.

Source: Bufo comes from the secretion of the Colorado River toad, which contains 5-MeO-DMT, a potent natural psychedelic.
Purpose: Traditionally, it’s used for deep spiritual healing, awakening, and connection to higher states of consciousness.
Effects of Bufo
Intense Psychedelic Experience: Bufo is one of the most powerful psychedelics known. It can induce a state of complete ego dissolution, where the sense of self temporarily disappears, leading to a feeling of oneness with the universe.
Emotional Release: Many people experience profound emotional catharsis, releasing deeply buried traumas and emotions.
Spiritual Insights: Bufo often brings about deep spiritual insights, helping individuals connect with their true essence and the nature of existence.
Physical Sensations: Some may experience physical sensations such as tingling, warmth, or a feeling of energy moving through the body.
Inhalation: Bufo is usually smoked in a pipe. The effects come on very quickly, often within seconds The entire experience typically lasts 15-30 minutes, though it may feel timeless.
Ceremony #3: Magic Mushrooms
Our medicine is grown and cultivated by one of our facilitators. As the final, and longest ceremony of this experience (approx 4hrs), this will be a time to integrate, shift any remaining blockages, and connect with the deeper aspects of self to receive guidance.
