There’s no way to measure the value of hope . There’s no price one can place on the importance of self awareness . It’s impossible to describe how one’s entire perspective can change simply by learning to listen to our intuition. I believe iboga wellness is a sanctuary for those who’s souls are seeking refuge from the noise and destruction of the mind. I am forever changed for the opportunity to be among those who shared this sacred space . Im privileged to have been able to call it home for 8 days . My experience was profound in its significance . I’d say this was life altering perhaps even a life saving journey. My most sincere gratitude and appreciation for Levy and his family, as well as staff members Raina, Theresa, Carlos and James for their passion, patience and commitment to guiding me to a path I never knew I could travel. . Thank you for who you are. You have been rays of light despite my darkness . Each of your light has given me a glimpse of hope and offers potential to see through the storm leading me towards a place of inner peace I didn’t know existed . It feels a lot better to be spiritually healing than to be spiritually dying. I owe that shift to thIs experience and to the people of iboga wellness.. Thank you and Basse

Most important thing I’ve ever done, God bless IWC
I was fortunate enough to have a month to work with this medicine in this amazing place. What a blessing! Before even having any journeys with iboga while there, I was learning things simply by being around the facilitators. All of them, especially Levi, are so incredibly powerful and humble. I have much love for all of them and have made friends for life. Iboga is an amazing medicine and this is an awesome place to do it! The facilitators express so much care and love; you can really go deep within yourself and know you are taken care of. I was able to have four journeys and they were healing in so many ways. I arrived with so many limiting beliefs and after the first ceremony they just slowly faded from my consciousness. I was able to let so many emotional blockages go and have been able to feel free in myself for the first time since I’ve been a child. I’ve connected with nature like never before. The clarity you receive after and iboga journey is like nothing else. It’s now been almost a month since my last journey and I am still receiving messages and insights from the medicine. The way I’m able to feel so present and calm in any situation now is so wonderful. I don’t know if I can even recall all of the experiences and positives I’ve received since being at IWC!! I love iboga and the bwiti culture; the facilitators here fully respect and embody the lessons of the Bwiti. If you want to experience GREAT food, surround yourself with fun and wise people, and change your life, come to Iboga wellness center!! If you are reading this the spirit of iboga is already reaching out it’s arms to pull you in! Surrender to the medicine and come down; receive your healing and increase your power.

Safe Space for Healing
I went to IWC during a time in my life where I was going thru a difficult transition and felt very lost. The facilitators were all so kind, supportive & accommodating and they provided a safe space where I felt comfortable going very deep with the medicine, which allowed for my healing & transformation. Working with this medicine was not a easy process, but I loved how direct it is & it got straight to the point and forced me to deal with things I'd been hiding in myself for so long. I let go of lots of trauma & fears and released many trapped emotions, and cleared a lot of the clutter & chatter in my head. The clarity i gained from the retreat has allowed me to fully trust myself, trust my intuition, be more present, find more joy & peace in my life. I was also struggling with neck & shoulder pain for the past 10 years, and since the retreat this is the longest I've been pain free :)
I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the center and it felt like home while I was there. We had access to the kitchen & leftovers, which after my 1st ceremony was sooo important- i was so hungry I had 5 meals that day :))... and they were super accommodating to all diets & the food was incredible.

Much love
I arrived at Iboga Wellness with a closed heart. I surveyed the grounds with disappointment. It was so dry, the place reminded me of my grandparents farm in Wyoming. By the fire the ngangas introduced themselves. Each one spoke with hesitation and I wondered if they could help me at all. That first night I contemplated calling a cab to the airport (what the hell have I gotten myself into). I knew from prior psychedelic experiences that I would never be the same. Alas, I resolved to sleep on the matter.
As day 2 unfolded I realized where I was. I began to observe my new surroundings with great interest. This place is full of life, perhaps more than any other place I've been. The hesitation I heard by the fire was actually anticipation. I knew I was in the right place because I had tried everything else. I was at rock bottom and had no other choice but surrender.
The providers at Iboga Wellness Center are dedicated to ensuring that each active participant has every chance to succeed. It felt like a reunion with my long lost tribe.
“The nuns taught us there are two ways through life, the way of Nature and the way of Grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow.
Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries.
Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things.”
― Terrence Malick, The Tree of Life
"You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime"

Inner Work in a Safe and Supportive Environment!
I can write with confidence that I made the best decision doing Iboga at Iboga Wellness Center! It was really important to me to feel safe and fully supported during my time there especially since I wasn't certain about what challenges I might have to face. I knew immediately upon arrival there, and after meeting Gary, Levi, Peter & Leah that I would be not just in good hands, but loving ones. They really know what they're doing, and they made me and everyone in my group feel comfortable every step of the way. A special shout out to Levi for putting me at ease with his wise and kind words!
I returned home with knowledge about what has been keeping me feeling stuck and sad. I returned home with new awareness of my blind spots, and now have direction on the inner work that requires my attention. Most importantly, I returned home with a sense of clarity and hope about life.
A retreat at IWC was the best gift that I've ever given myself!
Added bonus: The food is delicious!
