Kambo ceremony

Kambo is a cleansing medicine derived from the secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, native to the Amazon rainforest. It has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes to purify body and mind, strengthen the immune system, and bring clarity. With us, Kambo is applied with great care and respect, always attuned to your personal process.

We welcome you in our small, homely ceremony space in Ouderkerk. Before we begin, we take time to connect, discuss your intention, and apply Rapeh, a sacred tobacco medicine that helps you ground and center. Kambo is then applied through small points on the skin. The actual Kambo experience usually lasts 15–30 minutes and is held in a safe and loving environment. Afterward, we serve a light meal and allow time for rest and integration.

Yes, we host small group ceremonies at our home with a maximum of two participants at a time. This creates an intimate atmosphere with space for personal attention. You can also choose to do a private ceremony — either on your own or together with a partner or friend.

For a safe and clear experience, we ask that you fast for 12 hours before the ceremony. This means no food — only water or herbal tea. Avoid drinking too much, as you’ll drink a measured amount of water just before the ceremony as part of the process. You’ll also receive a detailed preparation document with dietary guidelines and practical do’s and don’ts. During the intake, we go through these step by step so you know exactly how to prepare and can enter the ceremony with confidence.

Kambo is powerful and not suitable for everyone. Those with heart conditions, high or low blood pressure, epilepsy, recent surgeries, or certain medications should not participate. Kambo is also not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. During the intake, we discuss all of this in detail to ensure you participate safely.

After the ceremony, there is space to share and reflect on your experience. We support you in grounding the insights and effects of Kambo. In some cases, we also schedule a short integration call in the days afterward to help you further integrate your process.

One session can already bring significant movement and clarity. For a deeper and more lasting effect, we often recommend a cycle of three ceremonies within a short period of time, but this is never a requirement. You always know best what feels right for you.

Not all our Kambo ceremonies take place at our home, but this specific ceremony does. You’ll be welcomed into our small, intimate ceremony room in Ouderkerk — no large groups or anonymous halls, but a warm and personal environment where you can feel comfortable and supported. The setting is intimate and calm, allowing for full attention, presence, and personal care throughout your process.
