Iboga retreats FAQ

A traditional iboga ceremony usually lasts 24–36 hours. The full retreat, preparation, ceremony and integration, spans several days up to two weeks for an initiation.
An iboga ceremony is a guided, sacred ritual from the Bwiti tradition of Gabon, using the iboga sacred root bark for deep healing, self-discovery and spiritual awakening. It's always done with preparation, experienced guidance and aftercare never casually.
Yes. Iboga is the whole plant (Tabernanthe iboga) used ceremonially in the Bwiti tradition. Ibogaine is a single alkaloid extracted from it, used mainly in clinical settings for addiction. Same origin, very different contexts.
They work very differently. Iboga tends to be a single, long, deeply confronting "reset," while ayahuasca is usually experienced over repeated, shorter ceremonies. Neither is "stronger", they serve different kinds of healing.
With Bwiti House and its certified providers worldwide, starting in Gabon, the homeland of the Bwiti tradition. Led by 10th-generation shaman Moughenda Mikala, Bwiti House has trained 50+ providers now running respected centers across Costa Rica, Portugal, the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Iboga carries real risks, especially cardiac, so it must be approached with medical screening, monitoring and experienced guidance. In the Bwiti tradition and with certified providers, safety comes from proper preparation, qualified supervision and aftercare. Never take iboga or ibogaine unsupervised.
Legality varies by country. Iboga and ibogaine are unregulated or legal in some countries and restricted in others (in the U.S., ibogaine is Schedule I). This is one reason many people travel to Gabon or other countries for authentic, legal retreats.
Preparation typically includes a health questionnaire and cardiac screening, dietary guidelines in the weeks before, and setting your intentions. Our team guides you through every step before you travel. (Link to: Book a discovery call.)
