Kambo Ceremonies
The Deepest Detox on the Planet
The best medicines come from nature and Kambo is one of the most potent medicine available to safely remove unprocessed emotions, heavy metals and various pollutants introduced into our bodies. Kambo stimulates our lymphatic system to flush out foreign particles as well as products of cellular function safely and effectively. Think of kambo ceremony as an oil change for your vehicle – the oil gets polluted, burned, loses its lubricating qualities and if left unchecked can lead to engine repairs.
Once our systems are flushed out, the body will create new fluids to replace the old ones so that our biological systems can now operate with higher efficiency and productivity. Kambo cleanse will help you feel lighter once you restore sleep, remove unprocessed emotions and deep traumas.
Kambo Ceremony
This medicine helps the body to detox from heavy metals, fungi, bacteria, candida, viruses, various microbes and other toxins circulating in our bodies. Secretions of the frog help with overcoming addictions, mental and emotional blockages, have anti-cancer and anti-ageing properties.
What to Expect:
- Preparation for the ceremony starts with a 12hr fast. Participants arrive thirsty but will need to drink about 2 liters of warm water before application of the medicine.
- The "portals" are opened in the skin via a gentle circular burns by the tamishi vine which allow the medicine to enter the body
- The medicine starts working within minutes and the sensations can include discomfort, increased heartbeat, sweating and the feeling of being unwell.
- After a purge, which feels like a relief and possibly a bathroom use, it is time to rest and gather strength.
How long is the ceremony?
The kambo ceremony is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The most intense part of the treatment lasts about 20 min and is followed by physical and emotional relief. It is safe to resume normal activities including operating a motor vehicle within 1 hr after the treatment.
What does it feel like?
Most clients experience increased heartbeat, sweating, pulsating sensations in the face and body, changes in hearing, tingling and possibly nausea.
How to prepare for the ceremony?
- Intention setting is very important. Write down what you would like to get rid of and attract during this cleanse
- Arrive thirsty and with an empty stomach. You will drink up to 2L of water prior to the ceremony
- Yoga mat, cushion, blanket, personal or altar items
- Have an open mind and trust the medicine and the process
Kambo is an Integral Part of the 7-Day Retreat!
Our clients participate in three to four kambo ceremonies during the week-long retreat. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to purify the body well with just a single application of the medicine. During the course of the retreat, we thoroughly clean the body and mind to remove years of toxin accumulation.
The body can only reject a certain amount of impurities and as a result, every subsequent ceremony is deeper and more thorough than the previous one. We like to say that the last ceremony is the reason why we did all the previous ones – to remove, purify and relax the ego enough to achieve a state of non-resistance and surrender.
Once the body is sufficiently purified, we are ready to expand the mind during the first Bufo Alvarius ceremony.

My experiences with Plugimind have been unbelievably beautiful 😍 I have had the honor of being served with love and high integrity by Karina and Niko and sent on the most loving and profound journeys imaginable. I highly recommend their services to find yourself and heal in ways beyond belief. I love them both and I love what they do for those that need it ❤️🤩
I participated in a one-day, give-what-you-can, "Unfuckwithable" Kambo and Bufo Ceremony. My feelings after leaving Plugin Mind after the ceremony were pure love, bliss and gratitude.It is hard to describe the experience of consuming the medicine since it is so personal and subjective with every person. I can say that Karina and Niko, aka the lovely "cosmic doulas," and the other healers present including Donna and Steve give all of their love and support to you when you need it the most. I never truly understood what they did until I was experiencing the medicine, and truly depended on their presence and support. They are the ones you want present while experiencing a life-changing medicine that takes you to the true world, where there is no where to hide, having to commit to leaving your fears behind. I would not have wanted to be with any other beings while undertaking this experience.I believe "cosmic doulas" are such an accurate term for Karina and Niko since I truly saw the universe in their eyes. I felt loved and supported by them, even after meeting them only earlier that day. Karina is such a nurturing, gentle and loving soul, who seems to know exactly what your feeling, and only wants the best for you. While Niko is a strong source of light and truth, and will gently nudge you to commit to this experience, helping you realize your true self.Before, during and after the ceremony, I never felt embarrassment or shame, I truly felt I could be myself. After you leave, you will have a new family. And a new birthday. I feel connected with all who took part in this ceremony with me since we all witnessed each other releasing our fears and darkness and becoming true light and joy. I am grateful for all who were present.If you feel a calling to take part in a ceremony with Plugin Mind, follow your instincts. I had a blissful experience. I will take part in more events with Plugin Mind in the future.Thank you to Karina, Niko and all of the beautiful healers present for sharing your love, light and being vulnerable in order to truly help others. What you do is beautiful.Much love, Sage.
I am writing this review over a year after having gone through the Plugin Mind experience, and all I can say is that my life has been forever changed to the better and much more expansive version of myself. It is a gift that keeps on giving! Niko and Karina are the absolute best people one can go through this with as you feel endlessly cared for, safe, and supported. They are truly carrying out their life’s purpose through this work. You get a very tailored experience as they spend a lot of time with you before, during and after. Plugin Mind has put a lot of effort into crafting their offering to be delivered in the absolute best possible way, and something that immediately felt right even though I didn’t know what it would be or feel like. To this day I’m at a loss for words to describe this life changing experience, and I am deeply and immensely grateful. Niko and Karina - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
I typically do not write reviews. But for this, I have to! 🐸✨🙏🏼I have been holding onto trauma from my childhood and I’ve been searching for a way to escape that my entire life. I’ve tried therapy. I’ve talked to other people about plant medicine when I was introduced to Karina and Niko I had an instant connection with feminine energy and masculine energy…. With the treatment of Kambo and Bufo, I was able to let go of years of trauma and self-hate, find my true identity see myself for the first time, and most importantly, be able to let go wholeheartedly of the trauma I allowed to control me….I had enough!!!So I said NO MORE!!!! I no longer wish to be trapped in a loop of fear and trauma. I CHOOSE to be free!!!So I was reborn and I’m never going back! My spiritual path has reignited, and my path has been laid before me and is never more clear!If you’re willing to surrender to this process, you too can have a grand rebirth. It’s the best feeling to be able to be free and actually see so many things, and such a better way of enlightenment.Thank you so much Karina and Niko for all the love and for Guiding me through my Grand rebirth thank you for showing me I am worthy! ✨🙏🏼
Karina and Niko are the type of people that when you meet them, you are immediately put at ease. When you meet them, you realize that you trust them, completely, with anything, and everything. They are so warm, loving, and genuine. You can tell when they ask you a question, or just when they look at you, that they care, they truly love you.When I met them, they told me about the medicine that they serve and I knew it was fate. I had been researching this medicine and I knew immediately that the stars were aligning for us. They told me about an opportunity for me to join them in the medicine, and I immediately decided that I would.Fast forward a month, and I arrive in beautiful Samara. I meet several other souls joining us on a journey together. We are briefed, questions are answered, and we began a journey that I will hold dear for the rest of my life. Words cannot describe what happened that day, but they can describe where I am now. I am reinvigorated, I am charged up, I have retaken the reigns of my life. Karina and Niko did half of the work, but the other half came from me. From deep within. I had to be willing to jump off a cliff, trusting that I was in good hands. Trusting that I could fly. And as it turns out, I can, now.I cannot recommend my friends highly enough. Please, take this next step in This ride that we call life. There is so much for us to uncover about ourselves, about our reality. They can help you, they want to help you. Let them!

The grand rebirth was the most beautiful and life changing experience. Niko and Karina are special souls who held my hand through a transformational journey of self actualization, realizations, release of intense emotions, and an outpour of pure love. The experienxe changed my world and offered so much perspective. I highly endorse this retreat and any opportunity to be in the presence of Niko and Karina, the two most loving people. I left with so much love and gratitude for myself and my new world. I am still in touch with Niko and Karina as they have held me accountable to my shifts and have also checked on me out of love and support. I will definitely do this again, I promise. Until then...I give love to everyone that wants to take this special journey of the grand rebirth. It's a life changer!!
