ABOUT KAIROS
Sam Pemberton - Founder And KPA Advanced Practitioner
My journey began in 2017 when I embarked on a solo mission to Peru. Ayahuasca called me prompting a 10-day retreat in the Amazon jungle. In truth, I was searching for something, even though the foolish pride of the ego didn’t want to admit it (especially in front of ‘the boys’).
Battling shadows from a young age—depression, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, and destructive habits—I sensed a need for more profound experiences. The walls were caving in, self employed along with being a single dad had its pressures and the idea that we came here to work and pay bills was wearing thin. Escaping at the weekends through drugs and alcohol had also taken its toll. It was Ayahuasca, despite initial skepticism, that sparked a quest for truth. This journey led me to plant medicines, an interest in shamanism, natural law, the cosmos, ancient knowledge and the continuous merging of science and spirituality. Synchronicities had brought me in contact with other like minded souls on similar journeys as a path began to reveal itself.
During the insanity of 2020 I began to realise that the world was going through a huge shift and the only way I was going to help this transition was by stepping up. So with the intention of being part of the solution, I took a leap of faith as I began Kambo practitioner training with Lewis Powell from the KPA In Liverpool. Safe to say I felt completely out of my depth on day 1. However this course shattered illusions and limiting beliefs, revealing buried traumas all while giving me a humble understanding of what it means to reach our true potential.
Qualifying in January 2021, I continued to delve deeper with my connection to the medicine and in April 2023, I embarked on advanced practitioner training, which is a continuous journey toward understanding.
Over recent years I have undergone many initiations as a ‘healer’ in order for me to better understand myself and my role in helping others do the same. I believe that the truth lies within each and every one of us and the more we connect back to nature, the more we remember the unlimited potential that we are, both individually and collectively.
The space I hold is designed in such a way where all the power remains with the individual. I don’t plant suggestions or advice anyone on how to live their life in any way. What I offer is a safe space and a strong, judgment free, grounding, compassionate presence for individuals to rediscover the innate intelligence of their being along with the powerful healing capabilities nature has to offer.
I hope my journey inspires others to take that leap of faith, wether you are on the search for truth, growth, meaning or purpose, wether you’re experiencing periods of darkness, lack, sickness or feeling like there is something drastically wrong with where we’re heading, one thing I can promise, is that the change starts from within 🫶
Stay cool, stay blessed 🙏
