Practical Information

True readiness

Iboga isn't a quick fix or a magic cure-all; it's a sacred ally on your journey to healing and self-discovery. Unlike conventional treatments, Iboga respects your autonomy and free will, working collaboratively with you to unlock profound insights and facilitate deep transformation. But for Iboga to work its magic, true readiness and willingness are essential.

Iboga meets you halfway, offering its guidance and wisdom, but it can only assist in your healing journey to the extent that you're willing to invest in yourself. This often requires a courageous commitment to confronting the truth buried within your core wounds. By embracing this truth and courageously facing your inner demons, you pave the way for lasting change and liberation.

Empower yourself to make conscious, truth-based choices that align with your newfound understanding. As you navigate this journey of self-discovery and healing, Iboga stands as your faithful companion, supporting you every step of the way towards a brighter, more fulfilling future filled with happiness and peace of mind.

Iboga retreat is a deeply personal and introspective process—an opportunity to focus on yourself and your life journey

Nauseous/vomit on Iboga?

During an Iboga ceremony, individuals may experience a range of physical and emotional responses—some may feel nauseous or vomit, while others may not. Each person's journey with Iboga is unique, and responses vary accordingly. Approximately 35% of participants may experience nausea or vomiting during the ceremony.

If you find yourself vomiting during the ceremony, there's no need to worry. Vomiting is a natural process that aids in physical, emotional, and spiritual purging, detoxification, and cleansing. While it may not be pleasant, it serves as a vital aspect of the healing.

It's important to note that purging can manifest in various forms beyond vomiting. From crying and sweating to laughing and yawning, each expression serves as a pathway to release and renewal. Embrace the purging process as an integral part of your Iboga journey, paving the way for profound healing and transformation.

Embarking on an Iboga Retreat is a deeply personal and transformative experience. To fully benefit from its healing powers, it's essential to approach it with an open mind and no expectations.

The Firetalk

Step into the ancient wisdom of Bwiti tradition. Originating as the cornerstone of Bwiti gatherings, the Firetalk was a sacred space where wisdom flowed freely around the flickering flames.

As the Bwiti journeyed deeper into their spiritual exploration, they encountered the transformative power of Iboga. This revered plant medicine became the guiding light, revealing the Keys to Life and unlocking the secrets to inner peace and happiness. Every aspect of the Bwiti tradition, from the mesmerizing music to the potent medicines and soul-stirring songs, was bestowed upon them by Iboga itself.

The Music

Bwiti Music resonates with an unmistakable originality, weaving a tapestry of sound that enriches the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.

At the core of Bwiti musical expression lie three main instruments: the mesmerizing Ngombi, a traditional harp whose ethereal notes transport you to higher realms; the resonant Muogoungo, a mouthbow producing hauntingly beautiful tones; and the pulsating Drums, infusing ceremonies with primal energy and vitality. Complementing these instruments are an array of rattles, each adding its own distinct flavor to the symphony of sound.

Questions to yourself

During the ceremony, you'll have a sacred opportunity to engage directly with your soul and the medicine, posing questions that resonate with your deepest desires and concerns. Whether you seek guidance on how to navigate life's challenges or clarity on your path forward, the spirit of Iboga, guided by the provider, will illuminate your path with profound insights and revelations.

Journey beyond the confines of the physical realm as you connect with the essence of your being and commune with ancestors and loved ones, bridging the gap between past, present, and future. This immersive experience transcends mere healing; it offers a holistic transformation on spiritual, physical, and mental-emotional levels, empowering you to embrace your true essence and live a life of authenticity and fulfillment.

Technology during retreat

As you embark on your Iboga retreat, it's essential to disconnect from the distractions of technology and the internet. Prioritize unplugging from devices and online activities for the duration of your retreat, allowing yourself to fully immerse in the healing process.

Take the time to organize your affairs in advance, ensuring that you have nothing to distract you during your time here. Inform friends and family about your decision to unplug, setting clear boundaries to honor your commitment to yourself.

At Ibogacare, we provide a supportive environment where you can disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with your inner self. Trust in the process, and embrace the transformative power of Iboga.
