Iboga is different than any other plant medicine or psychoactive substance that exists today. Since its energy is so powerful, people commonly recognize and feel this energy subconsciously, before ever taking the medicine.
It is normal for most people to enter ceremony with a healthy amount of fear or anxiety. However, obsessive fear can become a block for the experience, preventing you from focusing on the issues you came to heal.
Prior to the journey, our providers offer extensive guidance regarding fear — the illusion of fear, and how each of us holds the power to control our thoughts and not attach to fearful ones. Believing that we are powerless over fear will only feed fear.
Wellness staff has extensive experience coaching people out of fear or anxiousness prior to ceremony. We have never had guests experience a ‘bad trip’ that they felt stuck in. You are never, ever left alone while taking Iboga, and our providers have years of experience and have helped over 1,500 people.
Typically iboga is not as wild as it’s reputation. It is the most grounding and centered on reality of all the sacred plant medicines.
