Food as Medicine
Meals & Nourishment - Portugal Iboga Retreat
The kitchen has had a long practice in catering food and takes great pride and pleasure in creating carefully prepared meals, snacks, and nourishment specifically tailored to the medicines and ceremonies we are offering. The Iboga Medicine is best received on a clean and healthy diet, with no food after 2PM on ceremony day until the following morning.
For this reason, the food is organic, vegetarian, sustainably-sourced, free range, and natural as much as possible. There will be protein options for meat and fish. We can also cater for dietary restrictions as needed.
Retreat Schedule
Your 4-Night/5-Day Journey
Welcome to your Medicine Spirit journey. The first day focuses on settling in, building community, and preparing your mind, body, and spirit for the work ahead. Through gentle rituals, group sharing, and personalized preparation, we create a foundation of safety and connection.
The heart of our retreat experience. After mindful preparation, we enter ceremony together, where experienced facilitators guide you through your Iboga journey with attentiveness and care. Our approach honors the medicine's wisdom while ensuring you feel supported at every step.
Perhaps the most important day of your journey. Through carefully guided practices, we help you process, understand, and integrate your experience. This day includes both group sharing and personal reflection time, allowing insights to settle and take root. We also offer optional activities like hot spring visits, nature walks, and free movement.
Today focuses on embodying the wisdom gained and strengthening community bonds. Activities may include additional complementary ceremonies, creative expression, and practical discussions about bringing your insights back into everyday life.
Before returning home, we gather for a final ceremony to honor your journey and set intentions for continued integration. You'll leave with specific tools and practices to continue your healing process.
The Medicines, and experiences, of this retreat will leave you truly transformed and empowered. Taking the new you back into your life is where the real work begins. We are available to continue to support your journey of embodying your transformation along your path forward.
Integration Support
Continuing Your Journey
We believe that integration—the process of embodying and applying insights gained during ceremony—is where the real healing happens. Our commitment to your transformation extends beyond the retreat itself.
