Managing The Wild West of Kambo's Growth in the Modern World

How do we cultivate safety, accountability, and organizational pedigree in an unregulated landscape? Right now, the Kambo world is navigating an evolving legal climate, caught between the wild west of deregulation and the clinical rigidity of modern science. In this presentation, Greg Manning argues that the answer lies in self-regulation. Taking a leaf out of ICEERS' philosophy, Greg unpacks what it truly means to steward this medicine with wisdom in the modern world. This talk goes beyond standard harm reduction to address practitioner competency, informed consent, and community accountability & modeling. Join Greg to explore how we can bridge Western physiology with Indigenous origins, ensuring a safe path for practitioners and seekers alike—long before the state steps in to regulate and control Kambo.
