Beyond the Ceremony is a podcast about what happens before, during, and long after the ceremony ends.
Hosted by Jason and Kelly Fellows of Tribal Detox, each episode explores the intersection of Kambo, Bufo, psychedelics, spirituality, personal growth, and the science of healing. Through honest conversations, interviews, and years of firsthand experience, we dive into the questions that don't always have simple answers.
You'll hear discussions on consciousness, trauma, integration, plant and amphibian medicines, nervous system health, ancient traditions, modern research, and what it means to live a more authentic life.
Whether you're completely new to this world or have spent years walking the path, Beyond the Ceremony offers thoughtful conversations grounded in curiosity, humility, and real-world experience.
New episodes released regularly.
