There are seasons when the body asks for stillness, the spirit asks for prayer, and the heart knows it is time to release what no longer feels aligned.
This ceremony is for those who feel called to sit with Kambo in a sacred, intentional, and carefully held container. It is not a casual gathering, and it is not offered as a medical treatment. It is a ceremonial experience rooted in preparation, reverence, personal responsibility, prayer, rest, and integration.
Kambo is the sacred secretion of the Phyllomedusa bicolor, also known as the Giant Monkey Tree Frog, found in the Amazon rainforest. In traditional ceremonial contexts, Kambo has been approached as a purification practice. At Temple Mother Earth, this offering is held with deep respect for the medicine, clear preparation, required intake review, and careful facilitation.
This ceremony is facilitated by King James, co-founder of Temple Mother Earth and an experienced Kambo practitioner. His approach is grounded, prayerful, and screening-focused, with each participant required to complete a Sacred Intake Form before participating.
This is a small-group Kambo ceremony held in a sacred sanctuary setting.
Before attending, each participant must complete a Sacred Intake Form. This allows the facilitator to review health history, preparation needs, and possible contraindications. Participation may not be appropriate for everyone, and registration does not guarantee final participation if intake review shows this experience is not aligned or appropriate.
During the ceremony, small points are applied to the skin and Kambo is administered by the facilitator. Participants generally remain conscious and aware during the experience. The active portion may bring a strong physical response, followed by rest, quiet, hydration guidance, reflection, and integration.
This offering is spiritual and ceremonial in nature. It is not medical care, medical treatment, diagnosis, or therapy, and it does not replace professional medical advice.
Arrival & Grounding
Guests are welcomed into the Temple Mother Earth sanctuary and given time to arrive slowly. This is a moment to settle, breathe, and transition from the outside world into sacred space.
Preparation & Intake Review
Before ceremony begins, the facilitator reviews key preparation details and confirms that each participant has completed the Sacred Intake Form. Health history, contraindications, hydration guidance, and ceremony expectations are reviewed with care.
Opening Circle
The group gathers in circle for prayer, intention, and grounding. This opens the ceremonial container and invites each person to enter the experience with humility, awareness, and respect.
The Kambo Ceremony
Kambo is administered by King James in a careful and intentional way. Participants are supported throughout the active portion of the ceremony, which may include strong physical release, inward reflection, prayer, and quiet presence.
Rest & Aftercare
After the active portion of the ceremony, participants are given time to rest. This part of the experience is intentionally spacious so the body can settle and participants can be supported with care.
Reflection & Integration
There will be time for journaling, quiet reflection, and gentle integration. Participants are encouraged to listen to their body, honor what moved through them, and take the rest of the day with care.
Closing Circle
The ceremony closes with grounding, gratitude, and aftercare reminders. Guests are encouraged to leave slowly and create spaciousness after the ceremony for rest and integration.
This ceremony is for adults who feel sincerely called to Kambo and are willing to prepare responsibly, complete the required intake process, and enter the space with respect.
Temple Mother Earth provides the sacred space, ceremonial container, and basic support materials for the experience. Additional preparation notes will be shared after registration.

Please allow spaciousness for arrival, ceremony, rest, and integration. This is not an experience to rush into or rush away from.
At Temple Mother Earth, ceremony is held as a sacred responsibility. We believe preparation matters. We believe integration matters. We believe each person deserves to be met with care, honesty, and reverence when entering transformational spaces.
This offering is part of our deeper mission to create grounded sacred experiences that support people in returning to the God within themselves. We honor the body, the spirit, the Earth, and the wisdom that emerges when we slow down enough to listen.
You are welcome here with your questions, your intentions, and your humanity. If you feel called to this ceremony, we invite you to enter with humility, prepare with care, and allow the experience to unfold with presence.
Your journey does not have to begin and end with this one gathering. Temple Mother Earth offers a living calendar of sacred experiences designed to support healing, integration, embodiment, community, and deeper connection to the God within you.
