By Practitioners, for Practitioners. In circle together.
We invite you to join us on the coast of Portugal for the first ever
Kambo Practitioner Collective unitive gathering.
During the week, we gather together in Ericeira, Portugal, bridging the North American and European practitioner network.
We’ll have the opportunity to meet and share time with other practitioners, to share medicine with each other, sit together by the fire, share stories and songs together under the stars.
Each day we’ll have the opportunity to serve or receive medicine, as each person feels called. We’ll also have the space to share in organically evolving conversation regarding:
Integrity, Sustainability, Ethics + Values, Fragile Health, Right Relations, and Concerns in the field.
The intention of this gathering is to begin unifying practitioners across the globe under a more balanced, harmonious, and heart-centered moral compass for the future of Kambo.

Who is the Gathering for?
Our Portugal gathering is for both seasoned and experienced Kambo practitioners, as well as newer practitioners.
It is for practitioners who have been in the field long-term and who are ready to take newer practitioners with promise and potential as carriers of integrity under their wings.
It is also for practitioners who are a bit newer in the field and who are ready take their service seriously and step up into the next level through guidance and mentorship.
To ensure all practitioners have a strong foundation and understanding of the medicine, the minimum requirement for newer practitioners to join us in Portugal is:

-Received medicine 20x

It demonstrates that you’re taking the craft seriously and are ready to be a mentor, a guide, and a leader in the field of Practitioners worldwide.
This is an at cost gathering.
This is the “pilot” gathering so we can come together and envision the goals, projects, etc of the Kambo Practitioner Collective, what the future of Kambo looks like, and how we can play a positive role in it’s accessibility, safety, sustainability and ethicality for years to come. The cost in dollars factors in the exchange rate for euros which we pay to the guest house.
