From Ceremony to Everyday — Final Weeks of the Kambô Collection

The air is crisp here in Colorado. Leaves gather on the ground, preparing habitat for insects, feeding the soil’s living network as the plants begin their inward retreat. This week brought the Full Moon in Aries — the Harvest Moon. Late rains, cool nights, and warm days have filled my garden with vitality for the final harvests.

Digging up three-year Echinacea roots and gathering Hawthorn berries from the tree I planted after graduating from herbalism school reminds me to slow down and be fully present. Yet the loudness of world affairs, the relentless pace of American life, economic uncertainty, and the endless to-do list of a solopreneur often pull me away from that center. As a neuroexpansive founder, it’s a delicate balance — the perfect storm for distraction.

So I return to my body.
To contemplation, to prayer, and to presence.

For me, this looks like swimming laps, practicing Ashtanga yoga, lifting weights, or sweating in the sauna before plunging into the cold. These physical devotions bring me home to myself. And always, sitting at the altar of Kambô — both in receiving and in serving this Earth Medicine — anchors me deeper into that embodied awareness.

Maestro Jhonny Javá once told me that Kambô helps us strengthen intuition — our inner knowing. Cultivating somatic awareness and feeling safe in our bodies creates the space for intuition to guide us. Trust follows: trusting the body, trusting the feelings, trusting life itself.

My journey with Kambô has been remarkable, and sharing this medicine through art has been an incredible honor, introducing me to so many incredible people. Supporting the family of the late Maestro Jhonny Javá through our impact campaign has helped ensure they maintain sovereignty over their protected reserve in the Napo River Valley of Peru, where the frog, the rivers, and the medicine continue to thrive.

As a Western Herbalist rooted in the Rocky Mountains, traveling to the Amazon to meet the people and places touched by Kambô has deepened my reverence for reciprocity — between healer and landscape, giver and receiver, North and South.

Now, as we begin to wind down the focus on our Kambô Collection, I want to thank you for walking this path of conscious creativity, for supporting ethical artwear, and for carrying these stories of healing and community into your daily life.

Earth Medicine Apparel was always meant to live with you — on the yoga mat, in the forest, under the sun, or in ceremony. Wherever you move, breathe, or sweat, the medicine moves with you.

👉This week, enjoy 22% off all tank tops with the code TANKYOU22 — a final celebration of summer, and a heartfelt thank-you for being part of this circle.

Each design from the Kambô Collection was born from reverence — for the rainforest, for the frog, and for the wisdom that bridges worlds.

Soon, I’ll share what’s next for Earth Medicine Apparel: new designs, new elements, and a continued commitment to art that gives back.

Until then — may your movement be mindful, your sweat sacred, and your clothes a reminder of connection.

With gratitude and green blessings,

🌿 P.S. Thanks to a private donor, we’ve exceeded our fundraising goal for the Javá-Ríos family, their nature reserve and healing center in Peru.

We’re gearing up to send the most recent private donation we received, which exceeds our goal of 15,000 soles by about 1100 soles (or about $6,000 USD total). Thank you to everyone who bought a shirt and donated to this cause. Uli sent us some photos from their next round of revisions:
