Iboga Healing Retreats
Have you been on the healing journey just to find yourself dealing with the same stuff over and over again, but doing a little better each time?
Or maybe you’re just starting out.
Whichever one it is, I’m here to tell you that life is NOT a healing journey. It is possible to heal for real and move on to creating the life you’ve always wanted.
Iboga, the Godfather of all Plant Medicines
Iboga is a powerful healing plant medicine from equatorial west Africa. It was discovered a long time ago by the Pygmies in what is today South Gabon.
Known as one of the oldest African tribes, they continue to live in their traditional ways and can be found deep in the African jungles. The Babongo tribe used Iboga for thousands of years for ritual and medicinal purposes.
Iboga is a small shrub that grows wild throughout West Africa. Its root bark is harvested and ingested to receive healing and spiritual guidance.
This guidance leads the Bwiti people in the study of life; they know who they are and where they came from.
Iboga heals on all levels
The reason Iboga works so well on everyone is that it’s the only plant medicine that heals on 3 levels. It can heal you physically, mentally/emotionally, and it can bring you face to face with your soul and give you the tools to heal yourself.

The Science
Tabernanthe Iboga has a powerful effect on the brain. It influences several key neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, as well as neurotropic factors including N-methyl-d-aspartate, kappa-opioid, sigma, and nicotine.
These effects support the growth of new brain cells by activating brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which enhances the functioning of existing brain cells and facilitates the formation of new connections between neurons.
Ibogaine, an alkaloid found in Iboga, is the only known substance on Earth that can penetrate the synapses in the brain and "scrub" every cell.
The Spiritual
When we talk about the spiritual we talk about the mind and the soul. Iboga will show you how your mind works—all the negative thoughts, destructive patterns, survival mechanisms—and clear them out. This gives you clarity.
Once your mind is clear we can get to the Spiritual Discovery.
This is your opportunity to have a live journey, a 1-on-1 chat with your soul. You will ask all the questions you ever had about who you are, why you are the way you are, how to get rid of the baggage you’ve been carrying all your life once and for all, and how to live your life in a way that fills your heart with joy and your mind with peace.
Taking the time to do things right
Our retreats are designed by the medicine itself. They are are 8 days long and ALL-INCLUSIVE so that the only thing you have to focus on is yourself.
Why did I create Bwitiboga?
I came to this medicine in 2017 in search of something to help me find my way. I was in the middle of a depression; I’ve had ADHD and severe social anxiety since I can remember, and PTSD from my service in Afghanistan with the Canadian Infantry.
I was excited to see what this medicine could do for me. I had tried Ayahuasca and had quite the trip, but I still felt like I hadn’t gotten to the root of my issues. I still felt lost.
The very first night I did Iboga, I got to meet my soul. I got to ask it all the questions I wanted—and get direct answers. Then, I saw what a mess my mind was and spent the night getting everything back under control.
The whole process was so efficient and effective; that same night I knew I wanted to go deep into this tradition and become an Iboga provider.
I organized my life and made my way to Gabon, where I trained with 10th-generation Shaman Moughenda in his village. I got initiated into the tribe, completed the Rites of Passage, and graduated from provider training in 2021 to become a N’ganga (spiritual healer).
Since then, my life has been about serving the medicine. This work has become more than a passion for me: it has become a way of life.
