FAR OUT #85 ~ Exploring Ayahuasca: Shaman Jess Poitra on Kambo, the Warrior Frog Medicine (Episode 4)

Written By Julie-Roxane Krikorian

Episode Description

What exactly is Kambo and why would you want frog venom in your system?

After finishing up three days of medicine work with the frog we invited our shaman, Jess Poitra to join us on the show to share with us the healing power of this medicine.

We explore what Kambo is, how it's administered, how Jess was called to the medicine (hint: ayahuasca helped!), how she works with it and why one might want to work with it.

Let's get into it!

Listen and explore:

  • What the hell is Kambo?

  • The jungle origin story of Kambo

  • How Jess came to the frog —or perhaps how the frog came to her.

  • How Kambo complements working with ayahuasca

  • What it feels like when Kambo begins working on you

  • How the experience of Kambo can be a lot like giving birth

  • Jess’ Kambo practitioner training program in the U.S.

  • Hear Jess sing an Ikaro calling on the power of Kambo
