This is by far the most valuable course I have done in a long while. The pace was just right and so was the balance between theory and practice. For me the real learning happens when there is a sense of togetherness. And Alan was great at building this sense of togetherness from day one – responding to the needs of the group as they emerged, shuttling back and forth between our own individual needs and those of the group. And he did it with humour, humility and compassion. This means that we were able to witness and participate in each other’s learning experience: the most profound kind of learning. I highly recommend Alan’s course.
Where can I start? This course is much much more than a 2 week training program. Over the period of 2 weeks I learnt so much about myself and my journey but also learnt so much from Alan my teacher and all the other participants. The course itself is extremely hard work from the theory to the practical you learn so much in such a short period of time. The structure is great and the workbook is very good, you can always refer back to notes and sections within and use it for future reference. The accommodation was magical set in beautiful Grounds and the food was really good throughout the course.
I feel so proud to have completed the training with the IKAP who really take this seriously. They set the standard for Kambo Practitioners very high and the training is challenging and very in depth, not like some of the 2 days courses out there where I just can’t possibly imagine how you can learn what I have in 2 days it’s just not possible.
I’m proud to be a part of the IKAP now and look forward to holding space for people.
Finally Alan my teacher is exceptional at what he does, he’s a credit to the IKAP. Alan helped me personally with some issues but also held an amazing space for the group. He’s very wise, amazing people skills and has so much trust in the medicine and spirit of Kambo that’s exactly what you want from a teacher I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
I want to share my wholehearted recommendation for the Practitioner Training Course I recently completed with Alan. Alan said at the beginning that it was more than just a training course. This is true - it was in the main a deep and beautiful personal journey. In fact I only realised after returning home and holding my first ceremony that the level of training we underwent had also left me feeling wonderfully grounded and confident in the serving of Kambo! I can’t imagine more could have been done to prepare me.
I am so grateful for the two weeks I spent with Alan, his assistant Brian and my fellow trainees. It was a time filled with love, a deep sense of integrity, and so much magic.
Training with Alan as a Kambo practitioner is so much more than “only” learning the necessary steps of how to apply medicine and hold space. While the course is structured extremely well for learning all the practicalities, it can truly be a life changing experience, which goes deep. It is the beginning of a sacred bond with the frog, and also a journey into any area that could hinder you from becoming not only a great practitioner, but also the best version of yourself, while safely working through and releasing any known or unknown personal blocks.
The context was held throughout the course in a respectful, supportive, challenging when it needed to be, yet very safe and kind environment. The container was optimal for learning & growing, allowing me to dive deep and go through what will forever shape who I am, and how I choose to move forward in every area of my life.
Alan is a gifted trainer with great intuition and integrity!! I highly recommend training with him.
The setting & stately home in Wales was magical and I was truly blessed with a very special group of people from all over the world.
Most of all this really powerful experience came down to one very special man, Alan. With his years of experience, he has created something wonderful. This is not just a Kambo course, this is a journey of self discovery, learning & healing.
When Alan says stuff will come up, believe me it does. And one of the best things I got from this course, was letting that stuff out. You may never find yourself immersed in such a bubble of openness,
love & support. Were people listen to you intently, were you learn from each others stories & where you heal, it is beautiful! There is a lot in the course but it is delivered at perfect pace.
