Lions Gate Women’s Sacred Samadhi Weekend Retreat

What is Samadhi?

Samadhi is the given name to the Tepezcohuite plant ceremony. Also known as Anahuasca or Jurema, this is a sacred tool for healing extracted from the Tepezcohuite Root (a tree found in Mexico among other places), as a source of DMT and is dehydrated and combined with Syrian Rue as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Tepezcohuite is known for its many therapeutic properties and can assist in healing trauma, unblocking the natural energy flow, as well as many other benefits. Because it is a plant of the northern hemisphere, Samadhi is considered to have a frequency that can be easier digested by inhabitants of the north. Samadhi ceremony last anywhere from 3-6 hours and for this retreat will consist of no more than 7 women. 

 

What is Kambo?

Kambo is a medicine from the Amazonas region of Brazil and Peru. Collected from the Phyllomedusa Bicolortree frog, it contains more than 20 identified biologically active compounds that help assist the body, mind and soul in achieving balance, releasing built-up toxins, and healing from a wide-variety of conditions. Many have found it to provide relief from fatigue and chronic pain. Furthermore, it helps imbue those that receive it with the courage and confidence that are characteristic of the Kambo frog. While not strictly psychoactive in the same manner as medicines like Samadhi and Bufo, these qualities make it a natural ally to support a deep immersion when used in partnership with these medicines, while also providing substantial benefits on its own.

 

What is Bufo?

Bufo is a medicine collected by our family from the Sonoran Desert Toad, Incilius alvarius, that contains the compounds Bufotenin and 5-MeO-DMT. Known for its rapid and deep trajectory, this medicine often brings about profound insight and understanding. Although the acute effects are relatively short, the outcomes can be life-changing.
