Profound Iboga Experience at Iboga Medicine. My experience at Iboga Medicine was beyond anything | could have imagined. From the moment I arrived, Rupi and Steven created an environment that felt safe, grounded, warm, and welcoming. Receiving Iboga was something I had considered for a few years. While it was by no means a "last resort" for me, it came at exactly the right moment in my life. I truly believe that the quality of the space, the preparation, and the facilitators holding the container played a profound, if not the most significant, role in the depth and outcome of my experience. I cannot imagine having done this anywhere else. Rupi and Steven have a remarkable ability to see each person as an individual, and they knew intuitively what was needed at every stage of the journey. The medicine is incredibly powerful and works on deeply ingrained patterns. I have heard of people experiencing extreme hardship while taking the medicine; however, at Iboga Medicine, I felt that the dosage and environment allowed me the space to feel safe enough to truly surrender and experience the beautiful, deeply loving aspects of the medicine. The insights, clarity, and profound connection I experienced with my real Self (soul/higher self/inner child) have continued to unfold since the ceremony itself (it has been about a month since | participated). I have noticed profound shifts in my life. I feel more free to be my authentic self, and I find it easier to set boundaries than before. Overall, I experience more peace in my body, and I feel much more present in each moment. If you feel called to work with Iboga, I cannot recommend Iboga Medicine highly enough. Rupi and Steven are exceptional, experienced facilitators, and you can genuinely feel the love and care they have for every participant. I am deeply grateful for the experience.

Beyond all expectations! When Iboga called me, it fell right into place when I found the retreat that Steve & Rupi have created. Their experience and loving, caring nature made all anticipated fears evaporate immediately once I arrived at the space. They took care of me from the moment I arrived at the airport until even this day if I'd need a talk or anything. Bless them both and bless the private chef who made a mean chicken! The ceremonies itself were super interesting to me as l've experienced multiple plant medicine ceremonies (20+), and there's quite some taboo out there on Iboga. I was pleasantly surprised how gentle the medicine was, and I'm shocked with the results. Nothing could've prepared me for the lasting changes that would happen overnight (for the better). At first the changes felt subtle, until a few events happened that showed how composed and clear I handled the situations, as if I now have regained control over my mind. It's incredible, unbelievable even. I'm still integrating as I'm writing this review one month post the retreat, I can share however that the changes experienced thus far were worth every penny. Thank you again Rupi & Steven for the genuine love and care you bring.

Their generosity is boundless! I notice that I have struggled to write this review as I feel a desire to give Rupi and Steven the generosity they richly deserve. To partake in this process, this path, the necessary work, is to step outside ourselves and the stories we have continued to repeat. To do so is a real act of (loving) foolishness/courage and it certainly requires a deep trust towards those who are facilitating. To get to the heart of the matter. Rupi and Steven have earned my sincere trust, something | do not give away lightly. This is the highest praise my body and heart have. Their immense love and care for me and everyone else on the retreat was a precious gift as well as teaching for myself. I have come away not feeling as though I have been transported outside of who I was before. On the contrary, I feel as if I have moved closer to myself. The emotions I remember from before are still there, still taking a seat at the table. The difference is they feel like mine now. I have Rupi, Steven, and the spirit of the medicine to thank for that. My heart is radiant.
