Awaken Your Soul is rooted in a framework of shamanic ritual while offering a deeply holistic approach to psychospiritual healing. For those seeking vitality and truth, this combination creates a powerful container. We believe that genuine healing comes from understanding the root causes of our suffering, which can be traced back to our ancestral lineage, past lives, childhood, adulthood and a disconnection from nature.
Our trauma-informed team is dedicated to holding a safe and nurturing container infused with compassion. Our guests are invited to arrive just as they are to explore their authentic selves and essential truth.
We recognize that the mind, body, and soul are interconnected, and our approach incorporates a wide range of lifestyle and spiritual wellness modalities. With compassion and non-judgement we support all levels of life and soul experience that we receive here. Each participant will experience Iboga in their own unique way that is tailored by this master teacher plant specifically for them. Join us on the path to an awakened soul!
Tabernanthe iboga is a perennial rainforest shrub native to West-Central Africa, mainly Gabon, Cameroon, and the Congo, cultivated as a medicinal, ceremonial, and spiritual sacrament. Ibogaine, a primary alkaloid present in the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga plant, has been used to treat opioid dependence and has demonstrated a full spectrum of anti-addictive properties with several substances of abuse, including cocaine, amphetamines, nicotine, and alcohol, increasing its popularity and neuropharmacology.
While the Western definition of Iboga deserves mention, the perspective of the traditional spiritual discipline of the Bobongo (Pygmy) Bwiti people offers an expansive awareness regarding the truth of Iboga. Experienced as the biblical tree of knowledge and a conduit of truth or spirit, Iboga connects us to the realm of ancestors, spirits, and guides. Iboga is a being, an essence, a teacher, an ally, and a mechanism of truth. Although every definition of Iboga, whether Western or Indigenous, plays an essential role in the intellectual conceptualization, it is only through experience that one truly comes to know Iboga as an aspect of Self.
Join us at Awaken Your Soul and come to understand Iboga for yourself.

The changes often begin the moment we make the commitment to work with Iboga, or really any plant medicine. Up to months in advance most notice that life begins to shift. In order to get the most of your experience we suggest some preparation in advance. Learning more about yourself before embarking on this retreat will greatly assist the opening of your awareness.
During a retreat, we are doing intensive healing work in as little as a week’s time. Some will say that this can be equivalent to 10+ years of psychotherapy. This rapid and profound shedding leaves us sensitive, vulnerable, and can be a lot to process all at once. With some objective guidance these lessons can truly be applied to our daily lives, and thus producing lasting results. In the weeks and months to follow ceremony, we will at times experience our shadow side and our lightness as well. Integration is an essential part of accepting our lives and embracing everything about ourselves.
Thank you for your willingness to enhance your life experience. This is an important commitment and we are grateful that you are interested in working with us! Please tell us a bit about yourself and we will connect to see if it is a good fit.
We would also love to speak with you directly. Please don’t hesitate to call via phone or WhatsApp or submit the private and encrypted form.
