At Awaken Your Soul, we approach our Iboga retreats with a graceful blend of Missoko Bwiti ritual, shamanic traditions, modern psychology, somatic healing, and the cultivation of a deep, ongoing relationship with the soul.For our tribe, serving the spirit of this transformational medicine is a lifetime commitment. With over three decades of combined experience, the healing and facilitation team at our Iboga retreats is highly trained to hold a powerful, compassionate, and trauma-aware container.

While we are devoted to creating safety and depth for our guests, the foundation of our work is, and has always been, our own continued personal inquiry. This path has been a true awakening of the soul, not as a single moment of arrival, but as an ongoing initiation that has continually asked more of us than we ever imagined. Carrying this medicine has not been an overnight transformation, nor did our first encounters with Iboga bring a sense of completion. In many ways, it was the beginning of a much deeper unraveling, one that continues to challenge us to meet ourselves with honesty and responsibility, not always an easy task.

Our ability to hold a loving, compassionate, and safe container is rooted in the depth of the work we are still doing ourselves. We walk this path with reverence for the medicine and with humility alongside those we guide, knowing that the integrity of this work is sustained not by mastery, but by our ongoing willingness to listen, learn, and be transformed. The opportunity is in every moment.
