Iboga (pronounced eh-boo) has long been used to bring deep healing and transformation. Renowned for its potency and grounding energy, this sacred plant has been shown to reduce symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and addictions – it has even become part of Bwiti culture in Gabon in Africa as a sacred reconnection with spiritual self.
Iboga root bark contains alkaloids that affect the central nervous system, resetting brain signals and suppressing pain signals while relieving emotional trauma and chronic depression and helping break addictions. Furthermore, its effects promote rapid healing and regenerative growth as well as spiritual awakening, personal development, and discovering the meaning of life. Sayulita Wellness Retreat is proud to host life-altering iboga retreats for our international guests.
Our luxurious, safe, and beautiful space creates the ideal setting for these transformative experiences led by certified providers trained with 10th generation Missoko Bwiti shaman training program as well as years of experience working with this medicine. During your stay you will also have the chance to learn about Bwiti culture as well as their sacred teachings from their shamanic practitioners.
Our Iboga retreats are tailored for anyone seeking a deeper sense of connection between themselves, themselves, and the Divine. This could mean anything from healing anxiety or depression, finding purpose in life, or learning how to understand and forgive themselves. We will guide you through the Gabonese tradition surrounding Iboga, which spans millennia, as we connect you to spirits and ancestors who will assist you in your journey.
What to Expect
For an optimal experience with Iboga, we advise approaching it with an open mind and very few expectations. Each experience with Iboga will be individual – no two sessions are ever the same! You may experience discomfort, but take it as an indicator of where healing needs to take place in your life.
We encourage our guests to minimize distractions during their time with us and plan travel excursions or adventures before or after the retreat in order to fully immerse themselves in their process and gain the most profound insights from Iboga. Accepting stillness and eliminating external stimuli from their minds are necessary for optimal iboga use; often, our busy lives prevent us from stopping and listening to what our soul needs from us, making Iboga an excellent opportunity to do just that! We look forward to supporting your healing and reconnective journey at one of our iboga retreats!
