7 Days Iboga Retreat in Zanzibar

Twice a year, we host a special event, unique in its depth, intention, and transformational potential.
Together with Tembo and Mudanga, experienced Bwiti healers and hypnotherapists, we open a sacred ceremonial space rooted in the Bwiti tradition, intentionally recreating the communal framework in which healing traditionally occurs.

During the retreat, we consciously mirror this community-based structure, its rhythm, values, and ceremonial frame, bringing that living context into our own space. This collective container provides safety, grounding, and continuity, allowing deep inner work to take place while remaining connected to others.

Within this carefully held framework, participants are invited to explore the origins of emotional wounds and behavioral patterns, often formed in early childhood, when experiences were absorbed emotionally before the mind had the capacity to interpret them. Trauma is not the event itself, but the imprint left when it could not be processed at the time.

During the Iboga experience, memories, both conscious and deeply repressed, may surface. You revisit them not as a helpless child, but with the awareness of your adult self. From this new perspective, understanding emerges, emotional charge softens, and a new relationship with the past becomes possible. Integration follows naturally, allowing outdated patterns to release and healthier choices to emerge.

What distinguishes Iboga from other entheogenic experiences such as ayahuasca, mushrooms, or peyote is the active nature of the journey. You are not merely an observer of past experiences, you actively engage with them. This engagement makes it possible to transform the emotional imprint itself, changing how memories are held and interrupting repetitive patterns.

The healing continues beyond the ceremony itself, as insights are embodied, relationships are mirrored, and new ways of relating to oneself and others take shape.

It is an intense, honest, and deeply grounding journey, one that honors tradition by restoring the communal context in which true healing has always occurred.
