Iboga Retreat in British Columbia
Sacred iboga ceremony rooted in the Bwiti tradition of Central Africa. Medical screening, cardiac assessment, and on-site physician required for every participant. Serving participants from British Columbia.
The Medicine
What Is Iboga Ceremony?
Iboga is the sacred root bark of Tabernanthe iboga, a shrub native to the rainforests of Central Africa. Used for centuries in the Bwiti tradition — not as a recreational substance, but as a tool for deep psychological and spiritual examination.
The iboga experience lasts 12–24 hours. It involves extended autobiographical memory review — a direct encounter with the significant events, decisions, and patterns of a person's life. It is not comfortable. It tends to show you what you have been avoiding, not what you hoped to find.
After the ceremony, ibogaine converts to noribogaine in the body — a metabolite that remains active for weeks to months, continuing the neurological reorganisation that begins during ceremony. This is why the effects tend to persist.

Honest Assessment
This work is not for everyone
We tell people when this path is not appropriate for them. This is not a sales tactic. It is how responsible ceremony is practiced.
If you are not an appropriate candidate — because of a cardiac condition, current medications, or a state of acute psychiatric instability — we will tell you directly. We would rather lose a potential participant than facilitate an unsafe ceremony.
Read the FAQCardiac contraindications
QT prolongation, significant arrhythmia, or recent myocardial infarction are absolute contraindications. EKG identifies this before ceremony.
SSRIs and SNRIs
Absolute contraindications. A supervised taper conducted with your physician is required before ceremony is possible. There are no exceptions.
Acute psychiatric crisis
Active suicidal ideation, florid psychosis, or significant instability. The experience amplifies what is present. This is not the moment.
Primarily seeking a pleasant experience
Iboga shows you what you have been avoiding. People who arrive expecting comfort are consistently surprised.
