Setting

The setting for your experience with River is flexible, primarily based in the charming coastal town of Todos Santos, Mexico, or the vibrant Bay Area, California. The practitioner also travels frequently, offering a mobile service that can come to your location. This adaptability means your environment will vary, from the serene desert-meets-ocean landscape of Todos Santos to the diverse locales of California, always aiming to create a conducive space for your personal work.

The practice

River offers Kambo medicine ceremonies, a unique practice aimed at facilitating profound physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual shifts. Kambo, derived from the secretion of a tree frog, is applied to small burns on the skin. This initiates a powerful cleansing process, often leading to detoxification and emotional release. Participants fast for 8 hours prior, and afterwards are provided with tea, coconut water, and fruit to aid in recovery and integration.

A typical day

A typical day with River revolves around the Kambo ceremony. Participants will fast for 8 hours before the ceremony, with most of this time occurring overnight. The ceremony itself is a focused experience guided by the practitioner. Afterwards, you will be provided with tea, coconut water, and fruit to help with rehydration and grounding. The rest of the day would be for personal integration and rest.

Accommodation

Accommodation details are not provided, as River operates as a mobile service. Participants are responsible for their own lodging arrangements, whether in Todos Santos, the Bay Area, or other locations where the service is offered.

What to bring

Given the nature of the Kambo ceremony, comfortable and loose-fitting clothing is advisable. As the location can vary between Todos Santos and California, consider packing layers suitable for both warm and potentially cooler climates.
