You may feel a spark of interest with a genuine curiosity about iboga, iboga ceremonies, or how iboga can impact your life. Perhaps you feel this intrinsic draw or pulling sensation to the Iboga plant or to its traditional roots in Gabon and the Bwiti.
Very few people have heard of Iboga. If you are thinking of Iboga, or feel an intuitive pull towards it, then likely the plant has something important to offer you.
If you are reading this then the time for you to take the next step and further your inquire to know if iboga is for you. Find a Nima (Bwiti Shaman) or Nganga (Bwiti Healer and Iboga Provider) you want to work with and perform a health assessment to determine if it is safe and appropriate for you.
Groups generally range from 4-10 participants under the care of one trained Provider and at least two assistants.
Taken the necessary precautions with health assessment, EKG & medications review, and under the care of a professional Provider in a safe and appropriate environment, Iboga is 100% safe.

There is no strict diet required to prepare for Iboga. However we recommend a clean and healthy diet as much as possible leading up to your retreat.
In our experience this is rarely ever the case. Although we notice some people are scared before their first time working with the medicine, once the ceremony begins, usually the fear goes away, and the experience overall tends to be calm and peaceful.
Some people do, and some people don’t. Everyone is different. We would estimate about 35% of people feel nauseous during ceremony.
Unlike many other entheogens, Iboga is very grounding (it’s a root!), and you tend to feel very self-aware, and connected to yourself, your body, your life, and the environment around you throughout the process.
The price range varies based on room type, location, and health assessment. Our prices for a standard retreat program range from $2500 CAD- $3500 USD for a regular, week-long session with two ceremonies.
Ayahuasca and Iboga are very different in nature, and are experienced very differently. With Ayahuasca, your sense of self may dissolve. Iboga is often compared to holding up a mirror to your self and your life.
