Root & Wisdom

I cannot say enough about my experience at Root & Wisdom. I'm 53 years old and have only just begun my spiritual awakening, which started with a calling to Ayahuasca. Following this incredible experience, I found Root & Wisdom and felt immediately drawn to Iboga and specifically, Root & Wisdom. After much research, I attended their retreat in January of 2026. From the moment I stepped off of the shuttle from the airport, I was blown away by the beauty of the location and the sincere welcome received by Troy, Joaly and the rest of the R&W facilitators. Every moment, from arrival to departure, felt purpose-built and fit perfectly with the experience. The Costa Rican staff were second to none and provided over-the-top care to all guests. We were routinely told by each facilitator: "If there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask." The ceremonies were held using traditional Bwiti tradition (with explanation) as well as down-to-earth storytelling and insightful teachings by Troy that made us all feel our intentions clearly and like we were part of "something". Following the ceremonies, great care is taken by the facilitators to ensure proper stillness and integration in the days following. The additional retreat inclusions, such as the spiritual shower, meditations, yoga, sound healing and waterfall excursion were so perfectly timed/executed and they each enhanced the experience exponentially. I encourage anyone thinking about working with Iboga to give Root & Wisdom their full consideration as I cannot imagine having a better first (or next) Iboga experience. The wisdom gained during this experience, especially as someone just coming to know the spiritual world, will be with me for the rest of my life. I'm so thankful to Troy, Joaly, Ryan, Steph, Mountain, Brayan, Zaida and all of the Costa Rican staff for a once in a lifetime experience.

I was completely blown away that this far exceeded my expectations. All of my intentions have been fulfilled and them some. The staff and facilitators are truly amazing people who genuinely want to serve you. This experience was definitely what I needed and have been searching for for quite some time. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s ready to break their addiction to suffering.

This retreat will transform your life for so many reasons. The staff, the food and the grounds make you feel connected to the universe before you ever take the medicine. The ceremonies were done with reverence and respect. I came for one issue but my eyes were opened to so much more. My brain has been defragged. My body regenerated and my heart has been opened. This was a once in a lifetime experience.

I think the retreat was very good. I liked that Troy talked to me one on one during the ceremonies, and during the entire retreat.

Root & Wisdom has created an incredibly safe and supportive space that allows participants of all kinds of backgrounds to explore themselves and connect with nature. They humbly incorporate yoga, breath work, plant medicine, and Eastern philosophies with science and Western psychological perspectives to gently guide us to become aware of the limitations of the mind and to discover how we might be of service to others. This is a truly spectacular retreat that will bring peace, wholeness, and help dissolve the distorted images we hold of ourselves.

The food is magnificent too.
