Traditional Bwiti Iboga Retreat in Mexico

Led by Gabonese Healers | A Sacred Bridge Between Africa and Mexico

This unique retreat brings the sacred Bwiti tradition of Gabon to Mexico, offering an authentic Iboga experience guided by Gabonese healers from the Fang lineage.

Rooted in the ancient spiritual practices of the Bwiti, the retreat provides a rare opportunity to connect with the Iboga medicine in its traditional ceremonial context, held with deep reverence, discipline, and care.

Over the course of the retreat, participants will undergo two traditional root bark ceremonies, led by experienced Nimas (Bwiti shamans) with the support of a dedicated team.

The retreat includes spiritual preparation, integration support, and a grounding environment designed to honour the sacredness of this work.

This gathering also serves as a powerful meeting point between two ancestral worlds—African and Mexican—bridging the wisdom of indigenous traditions across continents. Whether you are seeking healing, clarity, or spiritual initiation, this retreat offers a profound path back to self, spirit, and source.
