Kambo Rejuvenation Retreat
May 17, 2025
We invite you to join us in crossing the threshold into springtime with ritual, connection and regeneration as we journey with Kambo, frog medicine for purification and renewal. We will gather at our beautiful mountaintop sanctuary retreat center nestled cozily in the heart of Appalachia to cleanse, purify and reset our our bodies, minds, and Spirits.
What is Kambo?
Meet this powerful healer: the Phyllomedusa frog, nicknamed the Kambo frog, is found in the southern Amazon of Acre-Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Colombia and Bolivia. The frogs have no predators because they contain a powerful venom deadly to most other animals. Their most dangerous threat is the extensive deforestation of their natural habitat in the Amazon. It is sometimes referred to as the “frog vaccine” because it is considered a remedy by indigenous people for many illness whether they be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.

Kambo Testimonials
“Someone close to me suggested I try Kambo as a spiritual energy cleanse after a tough time I was going through. I have participated in a Kambo ceremony with Alanna five times now and the medicine has gone deeper and deeper both spiritually land physically. I have been able to stop my allergy medication and sleep medication, as well as, control some unhealthy eating habits. Kambo has opened my awareness to aspects of myself that I was not willing to face and it has helped me face emotional blocks in my life in a more clear way. It has been such a beautiful medicine for me and it will continue to be a part of my spiritual journey. I am forever grateful for Alanna.”
–M.K. Arlington, VA
“I feel so grateful that Alanna has been my ally in healing for the past several years. She is a force of positivity and healing. Her expertise and thirst for learning and sharing her wisdom has helped me change decades of negative patterns and live a life of greater awareness and freedom. Change has not been easy; nevertheless, she continues to be a well of support, caring, and inspiration to persevere in my journey.”
–EZ Silverspring MD
“When I first met Alanna, I was taking the lowest prescribed dose of Effexor.
–JB Washington, D.C.
I had been reducing my dosage over the past couple of years and wanted to discontinue the drug. Therefore, over the course of the next three months, I continued reducing my daily dose. During this time, Alanna introduced me to Kambo, a substance secreted by a frog in the Amazon. The substance has powerful purgative effects and acts to cleans, revitalize, and balance the body. I used Kambo (three times) while discontinuing the Effexor to help cleanse my body and to purge the drug and other toxins from my body. Kambo also helped with the emotional volatility, anxiety, and depression associated with discontinuation of Effexor (it is a very difficult medication to quit).”
