FEEDBACK FROM ROOTOFBEING RETREATS
Iboga Full
Sarah, 38, Yoga Teacher, USA
The three day retreat at RootofBeing was the most profound reset I’ve ever experienced. The house and space were wild and secluded with the wind and jungle sounds surrounding me. I faced layers of fear and self-doubt I’d carried for decades. Jeremy’s stillness and compassionate guidance made me feel safe and gave me courage. By the end, my mind was quiet for the first time in years, my body felt lighter, and old patterns dissolved. A year later, the clarity and peace remain – this medicine truly showed me I am the medicine. Deep gratitude to Jeremy and the magic Nicaraguan land.

Coming to Popoyo, I was burned out and depressed. The multi-day experience with Kambo and Iboga took me through some intense cleansing and emotional releases and I had to process so much guilt from past choices. The open space in nature amplified everything but it also helped me digest it. Jungle walks and swimming in the warm ocean were essential in the days before returning home. No more cravings for alcohol or distractions. Jeremy held space with such integrity and care… Thanks again! Life feels vibrant and purposeful now.

After years of anxiety and overthinking, Iboga did a brain reset like nothing else but it didn’t come easy. Purging old stories felt like sweeping wet cement. Kambo began the process but my two night Iboga experience really set them free. Since then, I found intuition and synchronicity flowing. Physical effects were remarkable! Chronic back tension gone, skin clearer, energy abundant. Jeremy’s epic journey house and calm expertise, felt deeply intentional. I feel lighter, more alive, and committed to this path.

The Root of Being retreat oddly felt like a homecoming. I felt like I had known Jeremy from many lifetimes. In the wild of Nicaragua, the space was the perfect mix of open yet comfortable. Iboga showed me my inner child and dissolved fear cages (intense defragmentation) Visions of love and belonging replaced old suffering. Campfire circles with the other three guests deepened the insights through sharing and expression. No more self sabotage! Even with challenging life tests, my default is joy, creativity and self sovereignty. Forever grateful for this transformative gift.
Iboga Day
Alex, 29, Software Developer, USA
The Day Journey was the perfect introduction. I was on a surf trip and met Jeremy in the water at Popoyo. After our synchronistic encounter, his sharing about Iboga stayed with me. I wasn’t called to the flood dose but the daytime experience seemed right up my alley. The eight hours of silence was like laying on the brakes in my overactive life. The medicine felt like waves of healing energy upwelling emotions and nervous system rewiring. After an intense cleansing with Kambo the day before, the day journey felt deeply relaxing. Like I needed a day to do nothing. Jeremy’s guidance kept it safe and grounded. I left with renewed energy and a sense of possibility. I highly recommend this as a first step.

As someone new to plant medicine, the day journey felt approachable but I was still terrified of Kambo. After the phone call with Jeremy, I felt committed and less scared. When I finally got to the space, the panoramic views and fresh breeze lessened my anxiety and Jeremy’s warm welcome gave me confidence in my choice to do this. Kambo surprised me with a much gentler cleanse than I had heard of which led to a relaxing day before Iboga. The next morning’s medicine opened quiet self reflection without overwhelming me. Sunrise filled the space with golden light and it felt so magic. The eight hours felt like four! I was happy to know we’d be there until after dark around a campfire. I’m so inspired to do the big journey next time!

One powerful day with Jeremy shifted my perspective. This decision was spontaneous after meeting Jeremy the week before. I only had a week left in Popoyo so I was happy there was an opportunity to join a day journey so quick! Wow I haven’t sat still for a whole day in my whole life! It was hard as my mind wanted to escape and my body wanted movement as the medicine sent energy pulses of electric current. Jeremy’s presence made it feel secure. No intense purging, but long lasting heavy insights. Whoa I can’t even describe the clear mind and grounded energy afterward. This day journey planted seeds that continue to grow.

After attending over twenty Ayahuasca ceremonies, I felt like I had pushed past the boundaries of my mental capacity. I was fragile and thought I was done with plant medicine for good. My best friend shared her grounding experience at Root of Being where she said her less is more experience of meditation was remarkable. Not getting blasted apart but actually descending within herself in silence. What I witnessed in her inspired me to travel to Nicaragua. I don’t need to push limits with ceremony anymore so this day journey with Jeremy felt like a perfect reunion with plant medicine. The previous day’s Kambo experience opened my trust of Jeremy’s wisdom and integrity. Even though it was a smaller dose, Iboga connected me to my true self and I saw all the surface criticism and fear. The recovery movement and fire circle began a long road of integration. I feel more centred and alive! I’m back from the Aya stars with roots in the earth

This single day experience reawakened my sense of wonder. I was so grateful to Jeremy for offering the lower dose journey. I thought my age and health challenges would prevent me from an Iboga experience. The medicine gently revealed where I’ve been numb and it played a reel of stories and pictures from my past. Jeremy’s consultations and three month plan of nutritional and physical guidance ensured my safety. I walked away lighter, free of burdens and in gratitude for this experience.
Kambo
Maya, 40, Healer, Canada
I use Kambo in Canada multiple times per year so I was happy to find Jeremy during my winter surf vacation in Popoyo. His approach was way different than other providers. It was less ritual and more real, authentic presence. His perception of the medicine and life in general was refreshing. Jeremy had very professional medicine application and he allowed my process of purging without overbearing. I’ll be back for sure!

I had heard so much about this medicine for years but the opportunity never felt aligned until my work brought me to Nicaragua. Meeting Jeremy on the beach was like a lighting bolt! It was like… yes here it is! His space is stunning and so perfect for a healing experience. Kambo burned away negative energy like fire. Intense but short. Jeremy provided the medicine with great care and awareness. I’m so thankful I waited until this found me! A week later, my skin cleared up, immunity felt stronger, and mental fog cleared. In the tropical setting, recovery was blissful. This warrior medicine is powerful! I’ll do it regularly now.

Three rounds of Kambo over a month prepared me beautifully for Iboga. Each session released stagnation leading to deeper levels of physical detox, emotional release and a sense of renewal. The process was held and guided with such reverence by Jeremy. Each session brought more and more insight that stayed with me in my Iboga journey. Kambo kept me vibrant, grounded, and hypersensitive to nature’s frequencies.

Kambo has popped up so many times in the past few years. I saw frogs everywhere! It was almost comical as the message got louder. Literally! Rainy season in Nicaragua has some of the loudest frogs I’ve ever heard. I was there on a surf trip and the frog message was intense. After asking around I was connected to Jeremy and the rest is history. Kambo was intense omg! I was purging toxins and old patterns in waves. The afterglow was incredible though. Clearer mind, stronger body, no more low energy. Jeremy’s house has an epic top floor space over the jungle and it felt deeply connected to him. His story of creating it was inspiring. Thanks again brother!

I felt like I only had time for my family for over a decade. Our family vacation to Nicaragua opened new doors. This was a a pivotal moment where I chose to do something for myself. Our friends that live here recommended Jeremy’s retreats. Kambo felt like the perfect thing. In the middle of it I actually thought what the bloody hell are you doing? It’s not a pleasant sensation that’s for sure. But the frog flushed my negativity, leaving me feeling peaceful and properly present. Post-session, I noticed better sleep, heaps more energy and emotional balance. Back with my kids, I’m recharged and so grateful for Jeremy and his top notch support with Kambo
