Have you ever considered the relevance of nature’s Iboga root bark for human healing? The Tabernanthe Iboga shrub is no accident. It is the root of reconnection, grounding and remembrance of existential truth. In our Iboga retreats in Popoyo, Nicaragua, we provide this medicine with reverence and stillness, in a secluded medicine house. The approach is unique and our service is the result of fifteen years in practice.
Unlike isolated Ibogaine which is a lab created, white powder extract, we work exclusively with raw Iboga root bark containing the full spectrum of alkaloids and root pulp. Nature created this miraculous plant and Root of Being Iboga retreats respect its natural form, designed to be ingested and digested slowly. Medicine is absorbed in a wholesome way all the through the digestive system. An inward journey of endurance and revelation.
Profound emotional and physical healing. Release trauma, anxiety and self-destructive patterns
Clarity of purpose and recognition of your existential intelligence. Trust in life itself.
Interruption of addictive cycles through neurogenesis and deep insight.
Immersion in nature's wisdom. Remembering the nature within. Grounded in being.
A silent mind that is useful but is no longer your identity. Witnessing life with presence.
Remembering creation breathed you into life without condition. You are always loved.
Secluded medicine house in Popoyo, Nicaragua providing third floor open air journeys with jungle energy, comfortable mats and cooling trade winds. Dreamed and designed specifically for hosting journeys.
Root of Being provides personalized care serving only one to four guests per retreat. Booking can be for a private, custom or to join other journeyers in a pre-scheduled retreat.
A smaller dose daytime experience. Extra sensitivity in the morning due to a fresh nervous system, yields stronger receptivity, vivid insights, and amplified energy compared to evening as well as rapid recovery with uninterrupted harmony with daylight cycles. The journey is finished by evening.
Step dosing through the evening into the night allowing for a threshold experience continuing through the second day. A true right of passage within yourself. A test of silent, mental endurance and physical detoxification. Journeyers stay a second night in the space to ensure full metabolism and completion.
Journeyers have choices of beach walks on Playa Guasacate, jungle walks around the medicine house, hot/cold therapy and bodywork release. Both journeys finish with a campfire circle for sharing and integration.
Root of Being offers Iboga root bark in its low risk, natural form. We also have strict consultation screening, eliminating the risk from combinations with current alcohol, pharmaceutical or drug use. In fifteen years, we have never had a medical intervention.
Kambo and Iboga are a synergetic pair, catalysts in nature’s design. Kambo first cleanses the body, burns away negative energy, and neutralizes anticipation, creating a serene, sensitive state for the deeper Iboga journey. By flushing physical and mental toxicity beforehand, Kambo levels you in presence, heightens your receptivity to Iboga’s frequency, and allows the root bark to express it’s full medicinal power.

Guest rooms, meals and amenities included with three and six night retreats.
