SANANGA

A Sananga Experience Centered on Preparation, Choice, and Care

Sananga is a traditional plant-based preparation associated with certain Indigenous Amazonian practices and is commonly applied in or around the eyes within ceremonial contexts.

At Transcendent Sanctuary, the experience should be approached with clear information, personal choice, careful screening, cultural respect, and particular attention to eye safety.

A CEREMONIAL WELLNESS PRACTICE

Understanding the Experience Before Participating

Sananga has roots in traditional practices among certain Indigenous communities
of the Amazon region. Contemporary ceremonial use outside those traditions varies considerably

Because Sananga is used in relation to the eyes, participants should receive especially clear information about the preparation, potential discomfort, safety considerations, screening, and Kimberly’s scope of practice before deciding whether to participate.

Please note: Sananga is a nonclinical ceremonial wellness experience. It should not be presented as ophthalmic care, psychotherapy, medical treatment, or a substitute for evaluation by a qualified healthcare or eye-care professional.

Traditional Context

Sananga has cultural roots within particular Indigenous Amazonian traditions. Do not imply that every Indigenous community uses Sananga or uses it in the same way.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your Eyes Require
Particular Care

The eyes are highly sensitive. Any substance placed in or near the eyes can potentially cause
irritation or injury, particularly if the preparation is contaminated, improperly prepared,
unsuitable for the participant, or used inappropriately.

Possible concerns may include:

Burning or stinging

Eye irritation

Redness

Excessive tearing

Light sensitivity

Temporary discomfort

Allergic or inflammatory reactions

Infection risk if a product is contaminated

Potential eye injury

Unexpected or persistent visual symptoms

This list is not complete and is not medical advice.

Before Participating

Participants should disclose any relevant allergies, medical conditions, current eye conditions, recent eye surgery or procedures, medications, contact-lens use, and any history of unusual eye sensitivity before taking part.

Because Sananga is used in or around the eyes, careful screening is important.

Participants should review the process and share any concerns beforehand.

Do not participate with active eye infection, injury, irritation, or vision changes.

Seek appropriate medical or eye-care guidance when needed.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions About Energy Healing

What is Energy Healing?

Energy Healing is a nonclinical wellness practice intended to support relaxation, mindful awareness, personal reflection, and a sense of connection. Sessions may include quiet rest, intentional presence, guided reflection, light touch when consented to, or hands positioned near the body depending on the approach and participant preferences.

Is Energy Healing therapy?

No. Energy Healing offered through Transcendent Sanctuary is a nonclinical wellness service. Participation does not establish a therapist-client relationship and is not psychotherapy, mental-health treatment, medical treatment, or a substitute for care from a licensed healthcare professional.
