Within our collective, each of us plays a vital role.

While some are lead trainers, others are pioneering research studies.

Some carry influence through online platforms, others hold leadership roles in their community.

Practitioners and seekers listen and look up to us for education, community and connection.

Through individual and communal efforts and collaboration, we will be able to stand as authentic and integral authority in the field to make this indigenous tradition ethical and accessible to all who can benefit while unifying as a collective who serve at the highest caliber.

With this comes a profound responsibility— to serve, train, educate, and listen with unwavering integrity and humility, standing as examples for those who see how we are refining the future of Kambo facilitators through heart-led and sustainable practices.

Join the Collective

Our global family spans every step of the Kambo journey, from the first session to Master Practitioner.

Trainings:

We offer trainings for those who who are truly being called into service by the Frog. We invite those who are being asked by Spirit to carry and represent this modality from a place of humble service to join our kambo family.

Our trainings start in an advanced state because each person stepping into a practitioner role already has extensive personal experience and embodied understanding of the medicine. This sets us a part from other trainings where participants are allowed to enroll after only receiving Kambo 1-3x, therefore setting a stronger foundational understanding from the beginning.

New Practitioners:

We also welcome newer practitioners with dedication, devotion, and a heart of conservation/preservation as respectable future carriers who may need guidance or mentorship along the way.

Seasoned Practitioners:

We welcome long-term, seasoned facilitators as our foundational ground - those who have been in the field for a number of years, serving regularly, who have served complex and fragile health conditions, and who are ready to step into an individual and collective leadership, teacher, and mentorship role for the future of Kambo.

As the Collective unifies across the world, our outreach expands to spend time with different tribes in the Amazon, gathering first-hand experience from the indigenous families who share this medicine and learning from a variety of lineages and wisdom keepers.

What does it mean to join the Collective?

There are no culty vibes, no cliquey vibes.

We are simply a family of practitioners united by our love and respect for this medicine and it’s indigenous history. It doesn’t matter who you trained with or where you’re from,

what matters to us is how grounded, aligned, and heart-centered you are when it comes to service, the future of the frogs, maintaining indigenous relationships and preservation of the practice.

By joining the Collective, you’re joining a practitioner network who hold the highest standards in the Western world of Kambo.

While the word “exclusive” doesn’t quite resonate, we do have an in-depth vetting process and we are very considerate and intentional who we partner with.

By joining the collective, you’re standing solid in a similar mission and set of values and are proud to be a part of this practitioner network.

For many of us in this group, we believe Spirit calls the Carrier and invites you into a practitioner role.

It’s not a right, it’s a privilege.

It’s not given, it’s earned.

Through hard work, time, devotion, discipline, experience, and practice.

Are you a Beginner Practitioner and want to join the Collective?

This is an opportunity for you to align with Advanced and Master mentors who will guide you along your path of service as you embark on your journey towards Master, as one day you’ll be an elder of the Kambo space.

There will eventually be a fair exchange fee for mentorship to keep time, expertise, and logistical costs even, but this will be decided on at our first Gathering.

How our frog family formed…

The founding members of the Kambo Practitioner Collective met in the Peruvian Amazon after connecting digitally in the Zoom classroom of Medicine Frog Kambo’s Lyme’s Disease and AutoImmune Specialty Training Course.

After spending a few weeks together in the jungle, nerding out over our love of frogs, purging together, supporting each other with client case studies, and sharing profound challenges with an easeful sense of community and trust, we came to understand we had a strong and natural connection, along with holding similar values for integrity and concerns for the future of the frogs and the ritual.
