Authentic Iboga Retreat in Gabon
A private-island Bwiti retreat by Bwiti House, between ocean, river, mangrove, and jungle.
Grand Opening 2027
Bwiti Life is an authentic iboga retreat in Gabon, created by Bwiti House for guests seeking deep healing, spiritual reconnection, and a safe passage into the Missoko Bwiti tradition.
Hosted in a secret location between the Atlantic Ocean, the river, the mangrove, and the jungle, the retreat offers a rare setting where nature, ceremony, and tradition meet. Guests wake up with their feet in the sand, breathe clean ocean and river air, and fall asleep to the sound of the waves
Our providers have been trained within the Missoko Bwiti lineage of Moughenda Mikala and Bwiti House. The retreat includes two deep iboga healing ceremonies, traditional Bwiti temple work, live music, Pygmy cleansing rituals, and a final ceremony in the mangrove with the local Missoko Bwiti community.
This is not a retreat disconnected from tradition. It is a carefully guided experience rooted in ceremony, supported by experienced providers, local guardians, traditional musicians, and a sacred natural environment protected from mosquitoes by the constant ocean and river breeze.
