HEALING WITH PLANT MEDICINE

At Root of Being, we offer unique plant medicine retreats with reverence for nature’s wisdom oracles. Our plant medicine ceremonies in Popoyo, Nicaragua, provide a safe, nurturing, and nature-immersed space for deep healing and self-exploration. Enhanced by jungle, tropical ocean and nutrient-dense local food, these retreats promote wellness for a vibrant life.

PLANT MEDICINE RETREATS IN POPOYO

Rural and coastal, Popoyo is the perfect environment to enhance the plant medicine experience. Our secluded location with its jungle canopy and open-air, top floor journey space, keeps guests cool and spacious. Whether you join for a standalone session or a full combination retreat, Popoyo’s beaches, jungles, warm ocean and sparse population make it a prime plant medicine destination.

KAMBO AND IBOGA - PLANT MEDICINE PARTNERS

Kambo and Iboga are synergistic plant medicines. Separate they are powerful. Together they are transformative. Kambo clears physical and energetic toxicity, flushes negative energy, boosts sensitivity and grounds you in presence. It burns away anxiety, allowing a serene and receptive entry into the Iboga experience. After Kambo’s auric cleanse, Iboga’s roots can run deep, offering a voyage into the subconscious, illuminating patterns, dissolving illusions and revealing the inner light of being. Together, these plant medicines offer a complete spectrum of healing from purification to profound insight.

IBOGA ROOT BARK VS IBOGAINE

Iboga root bark is the raw, natural material shaved from the root of the Tabernanthe Iboga shrub from West Central Africa. It contains the bark pulp and a mix of twelve alkaloids including Ibogaine. Iboga is not here by chance and it is here to be consumed the way nature created it. The Root Bark journey with us requires disciplined commitment to sobriety. We do not offer detox.


Ibogaine on the other hand, is a single, isolated alkaloid extracted from the root bark. It is a purified chemical compound, typically Ibogaine Hydrochloride, a white powder that is fifty times more concentrated than in the bark. All the clinical trials and risk reports are from Ibogaine, not root bark. Ibogaine was created specifically for drug detox and requires medical supervision.
