About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Join us in our beautiful Chiang Mai, Thailand retreat space, the perfect container for your healing. From your arrival to your departure, your journey is steeped in the teachings of the Bwiti and Iboga. Over the course of 8 days, our highly trained team will hold and guide the space for your transformation.

Your time with us has been optimally crafted to ensure that you not only get the essential mental/physical detox from your first ceremony but the deeper spiritual healing from the second. The potency of the Bwiti teachings alongside this sacred plant will give you all the tools you’ll need to fully heal yourself and live a more connected, genuine & happy life.

Root Healing is an Iboga Retreat & Detox Center that follows the traditional Missoko Bwiti way of holding ceremonies while being supported by a medical and hospitality team to ensure a safe and comfortable healing experience. The Bwiti have worked with Iboga for thousands of years as their sacrament, and therefore are experts in working with this powerful plant medicine. Our team is led and trained by a 10th Generation Bwiti Shaman, providing us with all the healing tools and methods developed since the beginning of people’s relationship with this medicine.

At Root Healing we are dedicated to helping you heal, let go of the past, discover your truth, and know who you are and what you want. We want this to be the end of your healing journey so that you can focus on enjoying this gift of life and being fully you in it.

Schedule

There are no schedules in Bwiti and as such we try to create a timeless container

for your healing to occur. There are some basic guideposts to the week, that are

subject to change as we always stay tuned to the guests needs…


Day One (arrival day) - Settle in, meet our team, explore the property. In the evening

we’ll gather round after dinner for your orientation into the week ahead.


Day Two (your first ceremony day) - Breakfast will be served between 9-10 am. At some

point during the day, you’ll have your one on one with the facilitators to review your

goals & questions for ceremony. Outside of that you are free to explore our walking

trails, enjoy the sauna & pool and just relax. Between 2-3pm you’ll have your last meal

of the day, after that only water & coconut water.


Day Three (processing day)- An essential day to rest and reflect on the night that just

passed. We’ll be checking on you periodically and giving you both nourishing,

replenishing foods & counseling as needed. Sometime in the evening you’ll get some

rest, but it is normal not to sleep the day after ceremony as the medicine continues to

work with you.


Day Four (integration day) - We’ll go for a local hike together or yoga or a massage and then if weather

permits, the spiritual shower ceremony. This ceremony involves no medicine, but is a

potent way to energetically clear oneself of everything that is no longer serving you and

inviting the new life you wish to bring in.


Day Five (second ceremony day) -Breakfast will be served between 9-10am. During the

day, you can revisit your questions & see if anything new has come up from the first

ceremony with one of the facilitators. Between 2-3pm you’ll have your last meal of the

day, after that only water & coconut water. Again, this is a day to rest and relax as much

as possible before we gather round for the second fire talk/ceremony that evening

around 9pm. Yoga + Massage are available.


Day 6 ( Processing Day)- The same as the previous processing day, a simple day to just

rest & reflect and really be with yourself, without distractions.


Day 7 (Final Integration Day)- We’ll enjoy a day out locally, before coming home to share a closing circle & meal together.


Day 8 (Departure Day) - Breakfast will be served and check out is before noon.

Amazing Staff, Amazing Medicine!
I stayed here for the 1 week retreat and left just yesterday morning. Everything went perfectly. We got picked up from and taken back to the airport fine and on time.

The staff were extremely helpful in answering any and all questions along the way. Nothing is too much.

They're all amazing cooks and only use the freshest food.

The retreat is also situated in a beautiful spot in nature.

I'd very highly recommend this place for anybody who's looking to get some serious, deep healing any day of the week.


Thanks again guys!
