1 Day Amazonian Medicinal Plant Workshop

Amazonian Medicinal Plants: Dialogue Between Traditional Wisdom and Modern Science

Duration: 1 day

For whom: Foreigners interested in natural medicine, ethnobotany, wellness, and Amazonian culture. No prior training required — only a sincere interest.

The Iconic Belén Artisanal Market

This is more than a retreat. It is not for comfort seekers. It is an invitation to meet the frog in its true home and walk alongside an indigenous Kambo guide who harvests with reverence and ethics. You will have the chance to receive Kambo in its freshest, most potent form — just hours after it is gifted by the forest.

Over three days, you will not only experience fresh Kambo application, but also witness how this secretion is ethically and humbly harvested by a man from generations of people who have followed this path.

About the Guide: The Frog Whisperer

Our guide has been receiving Kambo since childhood and is deeply connected to the energy of the rainforest. He harvests only during the dark hours, when the frogs are most active and least stressed. He does not tie the frog; instead, he calls, listens, waits, and invites the frog to give freely.

This is more than technique — it is a relationship, a frequency, and a way of life. And you will have the rare opportunity to witness it firsthand.

Testimonials

I came seeking deeper meaning, connection with myself, connection with nature and plant spirits. When I arrived, the energy was welcoming and full of love. I knew I had come to the right place for my experience. This experience helped me shed what no longer served me and opened my eyes to new experiences. I feel rejuvenated!

- Carly M. (Kambo, Bufo)

As much as I feel I understand my spiritual self intellectually, I felt the need to experience my spiritual self on a different level. I have been wanting to try plant journeys for almost 10 years and felt comfortable that Nadine had so much experience in this. I also liked that she offered Daime. Both Nadine and her staff were all so comforting and loving and the space felt safe and sacred. I definitely feel like I released some blocked energy that needed to be unblocked and feel that it will make me lighter out in the world.

- Mia S. (Kambo, Daime)

Please Note: This is a Rainy Season Immersion

Conditions will be raw and real. Expect mud, rain, humidity, and the occasional discomfort that comes with true jungle life. Shelter, food, and safety are provided, but comfort is not the purpose here.

Presence is.

This experience is for those ready to walk with nature, meet the frog with humility, and immerse themselves in the healing plants of the Amazon, creating sustainable and long-term relationships with the peoples of the Amazon.
