Our Offerings

Our team provides a container of warm, dedicated support, guiding you from your initial curiosity through your effective integration and beyond. We offer this care through in-person retreats and programs worldwide, as well as virtual support.

Traditional Iboga Retreats

Our Traditional Iboga retreats offer a deeply immersive container held within the Missoko Bwiti tradition. These sacred spaces are facilitated by heart-led initiates who bring both extensive experience and authentic empowerment through their training with Bwiti elders. Each retreat is designed to honor the integrity of this ancestral lineage while creating a safe, supportive environment for your healing journey.
These are offered in the USA, Europe and Mexico.

These medically-supervised programs integrate cutting-edge professional knowledge with the timeless wisdom of the Missoko Bwiti tradition, creating a comprehensive approach that honors both modern understanding and ancestral healing practices. These programs are primarily offered in our Mexico location.

About Iboga

What is Iboga?

Iboga, the “Godfather of all plant medicines,” is a sacrament used by the Bwiti for profound physical and spiritual healing, and spiritual discovery.

The most recognized alkaloid within the root of the Iboga plant (Tabernanthe iboga) is ibogaine. Ibogaine gained notoriety for its remarkable anti-addictive properties, especially for opiate addiction, and is now used globally and is very well-known.

Beyond ibogaine, Iboga contains numerous other alkaloids, some with even more beneficial effects. These alkaloids work harmoniously to facilitate the potent spiritual, mental, and physical healing that the Bwiti have long revered. Most important though, is the spirit of Iboga, which has an ancient wisdom that roots down deep into the earth – the foundation of nature itself.

Iboga, Ibogaine, Tradition, and Science

There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained about Iboga and Ibogaine, and fortunately, research is expanding. This includes studies from both the Western medical and research science perspectives, as well as insights from indigenous and shamanic traditions. Bwiti, known as 'The Study of Life,' is a much more ancient tradition that is wed to Iboga and has its own unique approach to understanding. At Root Healing, we integrate all these perspectives.
