Women's retreat · November 7 to 14
One retreat a year where every guest is a woman and the team around the ceremony is led by women: our lead provider, our psychologist, our onboarding lead and our physician. Eight places. Grief, anxiety, trauma, and the exhaustion of holding everyone else.
Why women come
Women arrive with different stories and the same fatigue: years of being the one who holds. The ceremony is a night where nobody needs you, and the days around it are built so that what surfaces is met, not managed.
A parent, a child, a marriage, a version of yourself. Iboga tends to bring what was unfinished to the surface with unusual gentleness. The practitioners hold the night; the psychologist helps you carry it home.
For trauma, the setting matters as much as the medicine: a women-only group, a woman beside your mat, a physician who explains everything twice. Nothing happens to you that you have not agreed to.
Sleep, heart-rate variability, cortisol, thyroid and iron are part of the diagnostic. Many women discover a body that has been running on empty for years. The three months after are for rebuilding it.
Who holds it
Jenny leads the ceremony support, Tania holds the psychological arc, Lisa is your single point of contact, and Dr Villarreal clears you and leads the medical protocol. Michael, our senior practitioner, opens the ceremonies with Jenny.
How it unfolds
A discovery call with Lisa or Tania, the medical questionnaire, an ECG review and bloodwork. Hormonal treatments, antidepressants and pregnancy are discussed openly with the physician; some need a plan, some are a no.
Cancún pick-up, your own room, vitals, a spiritual shower and the first fire talk. You meet the seven other women over dinner.
Two ceremonies over seven days, more on longer programs. A woman stays beside your mat, the physician stays in the palapa. Processing day in bed, integration day at the cenote with Tania.
Weekly calls for three months, your data reviewed against baseline, and a plan for sleep, boundaries and the people you go back to.
Dates
Arrival Saturday, November 7. Seven, ten or fourteen days from the same start. Women are welcome on every other date too; see the schedule.
I lost my mother and then myself. The providers held the ceremony with a respect I did not expect, and the medical team never left. I grieved properly for the first time. The follow-up calls helped me carry it home.
Pricing, US dollars
All inclusive from Cancún airport: screening, ceremonies, room, meals, three months of follow-up. All payments are final, see the terms. Full pricing.
Questions women ask
The eight guests, Jenny and Michael as practitioners, and the physician. On the women's retreat a woman from the team stays beside you through the night. You have your own mattress, blanket and eye mask in the palapa, and your own room to return to.
Sometimes. SSRIs and some other antidepressants interact with iboga and need a taper planned with your prescribing doctor and our physician. Most hormonal contraceptives and thyroid treatments are compatible. Tell us everything on the discovery call; the physician decides, not the calendar.
No. Iboga is not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding, without exception.
You are met at Cancún airport by our team and driven twenty minutes to the center, where you stay for the whole retreat. The center sits in a quiet fishing town on the Mayan Riviera. Lisa shares her number before you fly and stays reachable throughout.
You can stop at any moment, in ceremony or in the week. The medical team can pause a ceremony, and the practitioners never push. Guests who choose not to take the second ceremony still take part in every other day.
You've carried this long enough. Start with a conversation with our medical team.
