About this Retreat
Jay is one of our primary Medicine Spirit guides. He offers a grounded presence and skilled facilitation shaped by a rich blend of Western, Eastern, and Indigenous wisdom traditions. With decades of experience in sacred plant medicines, the Red Road Ways, yogic practices, permaculture, and community building, Jay brings deep knowledge along with heartfelt dedication to Iboga ceremonies.
For over 25 years, Jay has organized and facilitated transformational retreats, educational programs, and larger community gatherings in the United States and abroad. And Jay is passionate about renewing Rites of Passage programs such as vision quests, fire walks, medicine journeys, and deep nature connection immersions. These experiences have become a central part of his work in guiding others toward growth and healing.
Jay’s own path was forever changed by a life-changing journey with Iboga. This experience deepened his connection to the Medicine and its profound healing potential. Over time, he participated in many ceremonies, served as an assistant, and eventually became a guide. In 2024, he traveled to Gabon, West Africa—the ancestral home of Iboga—and was initiated into the Missoko Bwiti Tradition. Furthermore, Jay returned in 2025 for additional initiations and Rites of Passage within the tradition.
As a catalyst for transformational change, Jay is committed to fostering both personal and community healing. His goal is to help create thriving and sustainable human settlements that live in harmony with Nature. Jay also stewards a small farm and micro-community, where he is building a hub for regenerative agriculture, community connection, and green business — one that is thriving, ecologically regenerative, and socially responsible.

In 2023, Carmen's life underwent a profound transformation through an Iboga journey. What began as an exploration became a complete reconfiguration of her relationship with love, addiction patterns, and creative purpose. After this "defragmentation" of her brain, she completed a memoir titled "Don't Yell at Her!" (currently en route to being published).
Since her initial flood dose, Carmen has sat with Iboga multiple times, each experience deepening her connection with her authentic self. Her transition from participant to facilitator emerged naturally as she assisted with other retreats, developing the ability to hold space while others navigate their own profound inner journeys.
At Medicine Spirit retreats, Carmen brings her personal experience with profound transformation and her compassionate understanding of cyclical patterns to create bridges between participants' ceremonial experiences and their integration into everyday life.
Carmen believes in the power of each person's soul and creates a container where individuals can reconnect with their own innate wisdom. She considers it a profound honour to witness and support others as they journey with Iboga, whether they're seeking healing from specific patterns, searching for greater clarity, or feeling called to deepen their spiritual connection.
We have a team of facilitators with decades of combined experience working with this Medicine. Most of our retreats have between 4-6+ facilitators guiding and supporting the experience.
For privacy reasons, many of our facilitators do not wish to publicly display their names, bios and photos.
Our retreats usually have about a 1 to 2 ratio of participants to facilitators, as in a retreat with 10 participants usually have 5 supporting facilitators.
