The initiation

2026 calendar

One session a month, beginning on the first Sunday and lasting twelve days. You may arrive the Saturday before or the Monday after. The rhythm is set by the Ebando team.

Ebando holds several sessions a year. Each one is a window of transmission, not a product in limited stock. You can match your coming to the session that suits you best — but remember that an initiation is not decided on an optimised calendar. Choose the session that leaves you the time to prepare.

An initiation is not something you can rush.
It takes time, and patience.

Three markers

How to choose your session.

One · Time

Give yourself time: at least 2 to 4 months between your first contact and the session.

Two · Return

Avoid intense work periods right after you return. Allow 4 to 6 months of sobriety after the ceremony.

Three · Exchange

Discuss the session with the team during the phone call. The choice is made together, not alone in front of a calendar.
