The Value of a Private Retreat

Over the last 11 years, we have hosted retreats in many settings. Beginning with ceremonies in our home or the clients home, to large scale retreats hosting 10-14 guests at a time, and everything in between. As people who have dedicated their lives to offering Iboga Plant Medicine in the best way possible, understanding the balance between setting, safety, and group size is a constant learning experience. Also taking in to account the longevity of providership, caring for ourselves as providers who have already hosted hundreds of guests over the last decade, and hope to continue offering ceremonies for years to come.

At this time, we feel that we have found a beautiful structure, offering Private Retreats consisting of only 2-4 guests at time. This format provides immeasurable value to each guest, offering amenities which foster a safe container and ample guided instruction during their experience.

The Value of a Private Retreat comes in may forms;

Privacy during the experience; Often in a private setting, guests report feeling safe to fully let go, purge, cry, laugh, and be held by us as they go through the motions of their healing.
Minimal interference from the process of other guests; In this exclusive private atmosphere, our guests are protected from exposure to having many other individual in the space at the same time, which can sometimes be distracting and overwhelming.
Undivided attention from the providers; We are witnessing the extreme difference this makes for our guests. Throughout the week we are able to dive deep into their personal stories, give our undivided attention, and offer extended Bwiti counseling sessions.
Ceremonial support; During the night of your Iboga journey, we are focused on an average of 2 individuals. This gives us the freedom to stay present with each guest for a longer period of time, guiding them on their way using Bwiti techniques and giving them our full attention. When there are 8-10 people in the temple, our providers are navigating the needs of many. With the delicate matters of purging, journeys, dosage, safety, cleanliness, and response time calling us all around the room. The peace of the temple during a private retreat is palpable, and felt by all involved.
Ease of catering to dietary preferences; We are able to asses the dietary needs and preferences of each guest, and take into account to how the medicine has impacted their taste and appetite. Eating is a very important part of a successful retreat, and focusing on nourishing each individual in the moment can be a turning point in the healing process.
Tracking and Integration; with less guests overall, our integration counselor can provide quality follow up with each person, tracking their journey from start to finish, and offering the best possible insights for integration into everyday life.

It is our mission to continue learning about this beautiful plant medicine, how to create an optimal container, and offer the highest level of safety to each person. Each guest becomes a member of our family, and we are honored to welcome you into our home, to be trusted with your experience, and to witness your transformation!
