About this Retreat
Troy Valencia is the co-founder of Root & Wisdom, along with his partner and wife Joaly. He is a modern-day Indigenous scholar-practitioner and respected teacher in the fields of Soteriology and Spirituality. Deeply rooted in his paternal Central African heritage, Troy is a twice-initiated member of the Bwiti tradition and a sacred medicine carrier of Iboga. Overcoming the challenges of being raised in the foster care system, he earned a collegiate basketball scholarship, majored in Biology and Chemistry, and furthered his education with a graduate degree in Analytical Chemistry. His deep passion for the human experience led him to attain a second Master’s in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. He is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD).
Troy has a unique gift for connecting complex scientific principles with profound spiritual truths, drawing from his deep understanding of Eastern and Indigenous wisdom traditions. He sees Iboga not just as a psychedelic or plant medicine but as a Spiritual Technology that provides a bridge between the physical/emotional and spiritual realms. Rather than merely seeking healing, Troy guides others towards lasting liberation from suffering.
In addition to his work in spirituality, Troy has self-produced two internationally recognized albums, Sounds of Medicine and Planetary Attunement, available on all streaming platforms. He is also the author of Sound Healing – Solfeggio, available on Amazon.
