Each of the Ibogaine retreats highlighted below offers a journey guided by your personal intentions. Set and Setting are important. These are the intentions of the space you will be journeying in:
Safety first: your guides hold the space and offer a way in, navigating and accompanying the Ibogaine journey based on many years of their own work with the plant. There is medical screening, supervision and intuitive advisory built into each retreat.
A dedication to Self-Inquiry; allowing the witnessing quality offered by Ibogaine to facilitate healing past trauma, enabling rebirth, and deepening self knowledge.
A place to nourish your body, mind and spirit; to deeply reset the nervous system.
A place to return to annually and to reconnect with the essential questions that arise on the spiritual path. Ibogaine has been revealed to be a kind of “truth serum” reconnecting us with our unique essence and history and offering an opportunity to forgive life and ground into our humanity.
To come out of the experience with renewed clarity, new sources of support, and a renewed sense of purpose and inner strength.
The possibility to see into our lineage, honor the events that shaped us, and the courage to heal our relationships.
A space to find clarity about the emotions and conditioning that may be holding us back.
A exploration of Self Love.
To be part of a larger, life-long, spiritual quest OR an initiation into the spiritual path
A connection with Earth medicine and nature, a harmonious and beautiful setting.
A rebirth for states of conflict that start in our mind. World peace starts with inner peace. This is a divine invitation into both.

“LSD is like a look out of a window into the open; Ibogaine is more like an occasion to destroy the old building and make room for a new one. It is more of a ‘work drug’ in the sense of facilitating an analytic process on the unconscious obstacles to life.” - The Healing Journey, Claudio Naranjo

FLOW OF THE RETREATS
All offerings include an initial application process to determine if you are a candidate for working with Iboga or Ibogaine. Our commitment to harm reduction and medical screening and supervision are part of every step of the way. The second step is a consultation where we can begin to know one another, establish our intentions and create a field of trust. There will be an additional preparation call before the retreat and then finish with two integration calls after the retreat. The pace of our time together is slow, deliberate and customized to personal needs. From the start, you are invited to enter a space of mindfulness and contemplation, full of potential. These are spaces to allow yourself an escape from the outside world and to surrender to your inner guidance and truth.
PREPARATION WITH MICRODOSING
8 Weeks Before (Recommended)
In this period you are invited to create your own personal relationship with Iboga and to begin a therapeutic process. Adapting a process of inner work and daily ritual can be a powerful and potent way to prepare the inner landscape for a retreat. Building confidence and consciousness at small doses encourages inner strength and gives us time to clarify our intentions. Awareness creates the potential to understand our core issues and gifts and the ability to go deeper in our journey with Iboga (and life!).
GROUP INTEGRATION CALL
Post Group Retreats on Zoom
This is an opportunity to share and refine your newly tuned system and to gain insight into how this plays out in your daily life. For many people, the greatest insights actually happen in the days following the ceremony. The goal of these calls is to support one another and create a community where we can always stay connected.
SO WHAT IS AN IBOGA JOURNEY LIKE?
“Imagine a rather different scenario. You ask a friend the same questions (Why is it that my relationships fail? Or Why am I in a constant state of existential despair?”) In this instance, your friend is a seasoned author who understands a guiding principle of any professional writer - “show, don’t tell.’ He also just happens to be a dimension-hopping magician. Instead of responding with placatory small talk, he clicks his fingers. A nanosecond later you find yourself magically immersed in a lucid, real-time role-playing experience. In order to resolve your questions, your friend introduces you to a source of loving, infinite intelligence, as weird as it is wise. So poignant, so undeniably true are the bombshell epiphanies that flow from these celestial transmissions, they forever change the way you approach life. Upon returning, you find yourself gifted with a brand new, far more effective set of psychological maps and tools to draw from. Consequently the mindset with which you approach previously insurmountable obstacles surrounding relationships, existential angst, and much more is forever changed.
Volumes of user testimonies exist to support claims iboga delivers scarily clear-cut answers to the kind of deep, complex questions that decades of soul searching and even therapy has failed to resolve. In recalling their experience, many have confirmed this phenomenon to be not only true, but that the information imparted served as the foundation for huge changes in the way they live, and acted as an editor to the stories they tell themselves about themselves….access to this transformative wisdom is why iboga remains so highly revered as a divination tool by Bwiti culture. Bwiti shamans believe iboga facilitates direct dialogue with your higher self or soul. They believe the human soul possesses infinite knowledge, which it communicates via various channels. Interestingly, subjects often claim the information came not from an external source but was unearthed from a place within themselves, long since buried. As such, some claim not to be learning but ‘remembering’’, or as ‘a recollection of one’s infinite true nature.”
~ Excerpt from IBOGA: THE ROOT OF ALL HEALING, by Daniel Brett

Energy Clearing and the Art of Living Dreaming, Noemi Itzakatzin
*In love with the exciting world of the unconscious and the nature of consciousness.*
Since childhood her sensitivity and connection with the subtle worlds made her interested in the research and development of everything mystical and magical. All this led her in a self-taught way to the early experimentation of Lucid Dreams, which immersed her in the discovery of the World of the Unconscious and its language of symbols. At the age of 12 she began her adventure of self-exploration with the Arcana of the Tarot and fifteen years later her talents flourished in the use and management of energy to facilitate healing processes. Her spirit as a seeker led her through various teachings of self-inquiry such as Advaita, Reiki and Shamanism. She teaches workshops, courses, training and ceremonies related to various practices that support and protect the memory of our true and sacred Divine Identity.
The Akashic Records with Tamara Ciriza
Tamara has a way of brilliantly sharing her gifts and abilities to connect with the great universal library called the Akashic Field to download pertinent information to answer our big life questions and help keep us on track and tuned in. Her work helps to dial us in to our purpose, the authentic expression of our essence, and understanding where and how to heal what ails us physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
In the Multidimensional Healing retreat, we are going to work closely with your records through different techniques and guided meditations. Each of our souls have their own unique archive where information is stored regarding our divine plan designed for this incarnation. You can access these records because you ARE them. It is a direct channel to understanding your place on planet Earth.
Tapping into your spirit guides along with training to really LISTEN can create an instant soul update. Opening a direct channel to receive guidance and insights can provide powerful information when making decisions in your life. We will do this collectively in a group setting. Tamara has created a school and a worldwide community where she teaches how to connect directly with the Akashic Field.
Dr. Rene Quiroz is a beloved general practitioner and native of Tepoztlan. He has a thriving local practice and 12 years of experience safely screening and facilitating the Ibogaine experience. He began his career with 7 years as a licensed acupuncturist.
What People Are Saying About the Ibogaine Experience:
“Profound and Generously Soft: This was not my first time working with Ibogaine but it was the most profound experience and where I feel it has taught me the most. I attribute that to Kristie’s attention, knowledge, and care that she gave me before, during and after my experience. She understands that healing isn’t a “one size fits all” approach and her attention to my specific needs made all the difference. My integration process felt seamless and it made a large difference in my ability to integrate the things that I experienced in the medicine while moving forward in life.”
-Michelle, 40, Artist, Designer, Seeker, Healer, Mother
”My decision to work with Ibogaine came from an understanding that my childhood trauma, and relationship crisis were what led to me get very sick. One year ago I was diagnosed with stage four cancer. I had to do everything in my power to heal myself. I had to stop everything, take care of myself, and change my life. As I was diving into complementary medicine, I met Kristie and Uzi. They introduced me to a new way of thinking and the positive outcomes and possibilities available to me.
As my Ibogaine experience began I asked the question “Am I healthy?” I felt a ball of fire move through my body and from that moment forward I feel and know that I am healthy.
I feel strong now. I have changed many of my behavior patterns, especially the way I think. I know what is good for me and how to say no.
It was a journey I will never forget. It changed my life from beginning to end. Uzi and Kristie are amazing, open-hearted people. I pray that anyone who reads just this tiny bit about my year long healing journey will not think twice. This is a once in a lifetime experience.”
-Livnat, Mother, Seeker, Teacher, Sharer of Wisdom
My Experience with Ibogaine was love at first sight!
After four decades of learnings with sacred plants & compounds like Ayahuasca, psilocybin, 5-MEO, San Pedro, Peyote, and MDMA I was finally home! The gentlest plant physically and mentally and the greatest teacher for my evolution.
The differences are several, and profound. Iboga and Ibogaine are oneirics, rather than psychedelics. It has been a pragmatic, rooted mirror into my soul and lineage, with a unique sense of humor. It was a huge healing with my lineages. It evolved my ability to create on many levels. It still reminds me to find the humor and joy on this earthly plane, and keeps me connected more than ever.
This is in large part to Kristie’s huge heart and amazingly evolved soul, that held the space masterfully for all this to unfold.
— Uri, 63, Entrepreneur, Innovator, Seeker
The magic of the Ibogaine medicine will speak for itself and if it is change you seek, it is change you will find. The experience of the medicine was only enhanced by the tremendous hospitality of Kristie and Uzi.
I have never felt more welcome in my life. To meet them is to know them. To meet them is to feel them. I never felt so taken care of. The overall experience was the apex of hospitality. It was a beautiful place surrounded by nature. It felt like home and as if I knew them all my life. I didn’t want to leave.
The care and caution used during the ceremony was top notch. I always felt safe in the comfort of professionals. The aftercare was spa like. Great whole food, constant offerings of snacks and coffee and teas and a large dose of deep and meaningful conversations late into the night.
My favorite part was Lucho…the itchiest dog in all of Mexico. My fingers still are sore from scratching his butt all weekend. He is a treasure.
I highly recommend this experience for those who want a more private and personal experience with wonderful people who you may befriend for the rest of your life.
Thanks to the medicine of Ibogaine and the medicine of Casa Well, my heart will forever be open. There simply is no going back.
They are blessings to this earth and your life will be better for knowing them.
so seen and heard
My words cannot do it justice.
