About this Retreat
Your Guides
Combat veteran, former law enforcement officer, investigator, certified iboga facilitator, and founder of The Iboga Retreat. After years of struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression, loss, and failed attempts to heal through therapy, medication, meditation, and other approaches, Matthew experienced a profound shift through iboga and 5-MeO-DMT that forced him to finally face what he had spent most of his life avoiding. He left his previous life behind, trained in Mexico, and moved to Costa Rica to build a small, structured, safety-first environment where others can do that same work with preparation, responsibility, and support.
