Our IAKP Practitioner Basic training course is an intense, experiental and traditional teaching and a challenging personal journey. Learning takes place within sacred circles where you will aquire and practice the art of giving Kambo to yourself and others. We honour both traditional and modern ways to give Kambo so you will recieve teachings from several tribal traditions as well as learning to work with meridians, chakras and auricular kambo.

This is not just a 2 week training course. It is the first step in a 3 year journey from basic practitioner to master practitioner. Along the way, you will receive ongoing support and teachings, access to our knowledge base and if you wish, your own personal mentor. Not everyone gets through the course but we do everything we can to support you to get through if we believe that being a practitioner is the right path for you.

Every course we have run so far has received amazingly positive feedback from its participants. Our teaching team has grown from 1 to 6 and will continue to develop over the coming years. In 2019, we plan to roll out our courses in Spanish,  across Central and South America. In 2018-2019 we will be offering all our students past and present, the opportunity to undertake an extension course in the Amazon jungle where they can meet the frog and receive direct teachings from the tribes.

Training of practitioners is an important development in the world of Kambo. Prior to the inception of the IAKP, training opportunities were hard to find and invariably involved travelling into the Amazon and finding a willing teacher. In 2018-2019 our training courses will take place in Australia, USA, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Ibiza, UK and Poland but we are happy to provide private training anywhere in the world for groups of 8-12 people. One to One training can also be arranged.

The application of Kambo requires skill, knowledge, experience, integrity, responsibility, mindfulness and a deep understanding of this powerful medicine. A trained practitioner will know where, how much and how to treat you, if at all and they will have been trained in techniques that enable them to assess this. If there is a problem, they will know how to deal with this but they are also trained to minimize the possibility of problems and never go beyond the limits of their ability.

During the Kambo treatment there is a transfer of energy from the practitioner to you. The trained practitioner will understand how this process works and how to ensure that only clean and positive energy is passed on to you. Always check out your practitioners’ credentials and if you’re not 100% happy with both then think twice before allowing them to give you Kambo.

Another important consideration is aesthetics. Trained practitioners will have learnt techniques to enable them to make the access points on the skin, known as gates, with the minimum of pain and scarring. They will also understand the different types of points that are suitable for different parts of the body.

Finally, with a wealth of knowledge and experience that is acquired during and after their training, a properly trained practitioner will enable you to make the most of Kambo medicine on a physical, spiritual, emotional and energetic level. Environment, ability to hold sacred space and hold boundaries, energy transfer, knowledge of anatomy, meridians, chakras, acupressure points, treatments protocols and a deep connection to the spirit of the medicine born of self-practice will all inform, and elevate your Kambo experience.

IAKP Practitioners have been trained to work within the boundaries of our code of practice. This means that you can be confident that our practitioners are safe people to be with and to take Kambo with. They will not make sexual advances towards you, overstep privacy and personal space boundaries or ask you to do anything that you don’t feel comfortable with.

They will not discuss your personal issues with your friends or family, any authority or with anyone else, however they may consult with their supervisor or teacher and with another trained practitioner if they feel that they would benefit from their knowledge and input in making decisions about your treatment. You can expect integrity, respect and confidentiality.
