The Medicines
Rhapé Snuff
Blown into the nose, Rhapé clears the sinuses and expands the breath. It also quiets the mind as preparation for the primary medicine.
Sananga Eye Drops
Sananga cleanses and lubricates the eyes and helps release accumulated tension and trauma locked in our visual memory.
Kambó
Kambó, derived from the Amazonian giant tree frog, purifies and strengthens the immune system through its powerful bio-active peptides and deep-cleaning purge.
Changa
Changa has the same molecule as Ayahuasca but allows us to experience its visions and insights in a much shorter amount of time.
Bufo Alvarius
When prepared for and taken properly, Bufo can take you to the essence of your being beyond the body and mind, the mystical connection to source.
The Sessions
The sessions are private and take place in a spacious gazebo at the home of our medicine guide in the mountains of western San Jose. They last around two and a half hours hours and are accompanied by gentle music,Tibetan and crystal bowls.
The sessions start with a fragrant Copal incense energy cleanse and a meeting with the guide. The optional grounding substances, Rhapé and Sananga are next, followed by the main medicines (Bufo, Changa and Kambo) accompanied by music, drumming and crystal bowls.
Our goal is to create and sustain a sacred space where each participant can move through the experiences feeling completely safe and cared for.
