Itinerary

This is the most intense and clinically serious of the two. It requires strong screening, medical awareness, and proper integration structure. Core intention addiction interruption ​/​ life reset trauma digestion identity deconstruction long-form inner rewiring Day 1 Arrival + Stabilisation Grounding in nature, silence, low stimulation Intake + emotional​/​psychological screening Heart & physical safety checks (especially cardiovascular risk screening) Light somatic practices (breathwork, walking, water immersion) Setting intentions (very grounded, not mystical exaggeration) Theme: “Arriving in truth” Day 2 Preparation + Body Clearing Fasting ​/​ light dietary protocol (depending on facilitator model) Somatic release work (movement, shaking, breathwork) Psychological preparation: what is being faced, patterns, dependencies Deep rest, early night Theme: “Emptying the system” Day 3 Main Iboga Experience (Ceremonial Night) Fully supervised ceremonial container Medical monitoring (heart rhythm awareness is critical) Extended introspective journey (often long-duration experience) Minimal stimulation environment, safety observation throughout Theme: “The confrontation” Day 4 Recovery + Integration Descent Physical recovery (sleep, hydration, grounding foods) No pressure for sharing early Gentle somatic integration (voice, breath, nature contact) Optional sharing circle in evening Theme: “Re-entering the body” Day 5 Integration + Life Reorientation Structured integration coaching Mapping insights into real-life behavior changes Addiction relapse prevention planning (if relevant) Closing ritual (simple, grounded—not overstimulated) Theme: “Rebuilding direction” Important truth about Iboga retreats: This is not a “festival medicine.” It is closer to a clinical psychological reset process and should never be treated casually.

Food (if applicable)

🌿 Food at the Iboga Retreat 🧠 Core principle Food is designed to: reduce strain on the heart and liver support nervous system stability keep digestion light and efficient prepare the body for deep introspection support safe recovery after ceremony This is a gentle, cleansing, low-toxin nutritional arc not gourmet indulgence, not fasting extremes. 🥗 Pre-Ceremony Food (Day 1–2) Purpose: lighten the system You’ll be served: simple vegetable-based meals steamed greens (spinach, zucchini, carrots, pumpkin) light soups and broths rice or quinoa in small portions herbal teas (chamomile, mint, ginger) fresh fruit in moderation Avoided: caffeine alcohol processed sugar heavy fats meat (depending on protocol) stimulants or fermented foods Goal: calm digestion so the body is not “busy” during the medicine. 🌑 Ceremony Day (Day 3) Purpose: minimal load on the body very light or no solid food intake before ceremony hydration with electrolytes or herbal water sometimes a fasting window is used depending on facilitator model Reason: Iboga is long-acting and requires a system that is not overloaded. 🌅 Post-Ceremony Food (Day 4) Purpose: rebuild gently After Iboga, digestion is sensitive and the nervous system is open. Food includes: warm vegetable soups (carrot, squash, potato, celery base) soft cooked rice or oats steamed vegetables avocado in small amounts (healthy fat reintroduction) herbal teas (ginger, fennel, lemongrass) light fruit (banana, papaya if available) Key rule: “Small, warm, slow, and simple.” 🌱 Final Day Food (Day 5) Purpose: re-enter normal life gently balanced plant-based meals light proteins may be reintroduced depending on protocol (eggs​/​fish in some retreats, optional) more texture and variety, but still clean grounding foods: root vegetables, grains, greens hydration focus continues ⚠️ What is STRICTLY avoided To maintain safety and protect heart + nervous system balance: alcohol caffeine ​/​ energy drinks processed sugar ultra-processed foods stimulants (including recreational substances) heavy red meat before ceremony dairy-heavy diets during retreat extreme fasting (not supported in iboga work) 🧬 Why food matters so much in Iboga work Iboga interacts with: cardiovascular system liver metabolism neurotransmitter reset processes So food is not lifestyle choice here it is: a safety tool + integration tool + medicine preparation layer

Past Reviews (optional)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 1 Alcohol Addiction “I came here after 12 years of alcohol dependency. I had tried everything therapy, AA, detox programs but nothing touched the root like this. The Iboga experience showed me my life with brutal honesty, but also with compassion. I saw exactly where my patterns began and why I kept repeating them. The team held me in a way I’ve never experienced before safe, present, and deeply professional. It’s been 4 months now, and I haven’t had a single drink. But more importantly, I don’t want to. This wasn’t just healing. It was a reset of my entire being.” Daniel R., UK ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 2 Opioid Addiction “I arrived completely broken from years of opioid use. I was scared, physically weak, and mentally exhausted. The screening process alone made me feel like I was finally in safe hands they take this work seriously. The Iboga journey was intense beyond words, but it removed my withdrawal almost completely. That alone felt like a miracle. What stayed with me the most was the integration. They didn’t just ‘give the medicine and send me home’ they guided me step by step in rebuilding my life. 6 months clean today. This place saved my life.” Marcus L., Germany ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 3 Cocaine & Behavioral Addiction “I struggled with cocaine and compulsive behaviors for years. On the outside, my life looked successful, but inside I was completely out of control. Iboga showed me the truth I was avoiding. Not in a harsh way but in a way that made it impossible to lie to myself anymore. The ocean, the silence, the structure of the retreat… everything is designed to support deep change. This is not a luxury escape. This is real work. And if you’re ready for it, it will change everything.” Sofia M., Portugal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 4 Relapse After Rehab “I had already been to rehab twice and relapsed both times. I was losing hope. What’s different here is that they don’t treat addiction as just a surface problem. They go deeper into the nervous system, trauma, and identity. The Iboga experience was the most intense thing I’ve ever gone through, but also the most meaningful. For the first time, I feel like I understand myself. And that changed everything.” James T., Ireland ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 5 Emotional Dependency & Addiction “My addiction wasn’t just substances it was people, validation, and emotional chaos. Iboga took me into the core of my patterns. I saw how I was abandoning myself over and over again. The facilitators were incredibly grounded and supportive. No ego, no fluff just real presence. I left with clarity, strength, and something I hadn’t felt in years: self-respect.” Elena V., Spain ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 6 Short & Powerful (Conversion Booster) “I came addicted. I left clear. No cravings. No confusion. Just truth.” Alex K., Netherlands ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 7 Safety-Focused (Builds Trust) “I was honestly afraid of Iboga before coming. But the level of care here is on another level medical checks, constant supervision, and a team that truly knows what they’re doing. I felt safe the entire time, even during the most intense moments. If you’re considering this, safety is everything and they take it seriously.” Nina S., France ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 8 Transformation Identity Shift “This wasn’t about quitting a substance. This was about becoming someone who no longer needs it. That’s the real difference.” Rafael D., Brazil ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 9 3-Month Integration Reflection “3 months later, I can say this: Iboga opened the door. But the integration they provided helped me walk through it. That’s why this worked.” Thomas W., UK ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review 10 High-End Client Tone “I’ve invested in many healing modalities around the world. Nothing comes close to the depth, precision, and integrity of this work. This is not wellness tourism. This is true transformation.” Laura G., Switzerland
