About the Team

Sean Hamman initiated into Bwiti in 2007 in Gabon. He is Bwiti N’ganga in the Mitsogo tradition. His formal apprenticeship included thorough practice and study of the traditional songs, dances, spells and healing rites of Bwiti. Since then, he has shared the practice of awakening through satsang and Bwiti animist teachings. His daily life is living ceremonial practice energised and potentiated over many ceremonies and many years. Sean continues to follow the way of a spiritual warrior; applying prayer, cleansing, ritual seamlessly with Buddhist emptiness and compassion. Over the years thousands of participants have transformed their challenges and limitations through the reset, grounding and the simplicity of Bwiti and mindfulness.

From 2004 - 2008, Sean pursued an extensive traditional apprenticeship with Adamus, a French-Gabonese Bwiti organisation and spiritual community. Adamus disbanded in 2008 and following on from their work Sean continued to facilitate Iboga ceremony as WorldBridgers, in the U.K with his practice partner, Steve Dyer until the beginning of 2018.

Prior to his Bwiti apprenticeship, Sean facilitated an Ayahuasca practice in the U.K. and the Czech Republic from 2004 - present.

He has shared instruction with long-standing apprentices with their own medicine practices throughout Europe including U.K., Czech Republic, Holland, Switzerland, Sweden and Spain.

Drawing on extensive and various shamanic teachings and training throughout the past 20 years. Including, but not limited to Metamorphic Technique, Merkaba trainings according to Drunvalo Melchizedek, The Four Winds - an international program founded by Alberto Vilolldo of the Institute for Energy Medicine, 5 year study under Rolando Monteiro of the ayahuasca church of the Santo Daime.

Throughout his study with Rolando and the Santo Daime church, Sean was being prepared to set up a Santo Daime practice in South Africa at the time. This fate did not happen as the Bwiti calling came for Sean. The message was given by his other main teacher, Gaston Saint-Pierre (co-founder of the Metamorphic Technique) who shared the message for Sean from the Bwiti, received during his own Iboga ceremony.

Kambo Journey

In 2009, Sean had the calling to work with Kambo to resolve chronic respiratory illness. Following the initial Kambo treatment course over 6 months he resolved his lifelong vulnerability to chronic respiratory illness. After that, he invited Brazilian curandero,  Cesar Carvalhoto to the U.K. and began study of the administering of Kambo . From 2010, with direction from Cesar he was instructed to continue training with Mauro Santili. Sean developed his practice with Kambo in the Katukina style with Cesar and Mauro. Followed by further training with Giovanni Lattanzi to develop an understanding of the meridian point systems and Matses style of application.

Sean, like most leading edge pioneers pursued an unique course learning course in Kambo facilitation. He was later recognised for his professionalism and accountability when he was listed as one of a handful of Master Practitioners on the IAKP’s (International Association of Kambo Practitioners) website. This was until identifying certain risks in the training protocols of the IAKP, which led him to distance his practice from the Association and he asked to take his name down from the their website.

He continues to practice Kambo and Kambo as a preparation for Iboga with his apprentices and participants to this day and has seen a wide spectrum of physical and psycho-spiritual conditions treated successfully with Kambo.

I began my journey as a child of Bwiti in 2013. In 2015, I began my apprenticeship to Bwiti with Sean Hamman, assisting Kambo and Iboga ceremonies in southern England. Since 2017, I have been in full time ceremonial service and practice; organising and assisting hundreds of ceremonies throughout the past 6 years.

Over the past 18 years, I have been a keen study of ordeal pathways and ritual. And I am very comfortable taking people through uncomfortable processes kindly, carefully, with skillful support for the psychosomatic process and the nervous system through body mind practices for greater self awareness, mental clarity and emotional resiliency.

Throughout 2016 and 2017, I studied with somatic consent teacher, Betty Martin. Covering essential topics of consent and boundaries and nurturing conditions for somatic and therapeutic work. Throughout the years of professional development I studied many aspects of therapeutic relationships in Yoga asana and the energy body. Building upon my understanding of caring and nursing from nursing education at UTS (University of Sydney) from 2009-2010; with basic assessment protocols, patient handling and the dignity and benefit of informed consent and other essential communications in therapeutic procedures were studied and applied in practical assignments in hospital and hospice settings.

I began my transformational journey in 2003, as a dedicated student of Vipassana meditation for the next 10 years, which expanded into study and practice of Buddhist Tantra. Receiving initiation, instruction and attending retreats by Buddhist teachers.

I have a strong calling to care and service, and I have volunteered with many community pursuits and Vipassana meditation centres, worldwide; as well as assisted in the core team of two permaculture projects, The Panya Project in northern Thailand from mid 2010- late 2011 and as a co-founder of Layapoint Permaculture in northern England from 2012-2016.

Since 2004, I maintain an integrated yogic asana practice, qualifying as a yoga instructor with Lily Goncalves and Sri Ramananda Mayi in 2011 and participated in further yogic studies as Continued Professional Development (CPD) trainings. Including further qualifying study and training as a Yoga Nidra Instructor with Dr. Uma Dinsmore-Tuli from 2013 - 2016; and further Yoga Alliance training in Yoga Nidra with Lily Goncalves in 2021.

I am extremely grateful to be a student and provider of Metamorphic Technique guided by Keith Moore. Beginning this transformational practice in 2016 through to present.
