IbogaSoul

A temple for deep inner work

Mexico El Pescadero paid

At IbogaSoul, the ceremonial room is central to the retreat: a large temple anchors a purpose-built house designed for iboga ceremonies and the integration that follows. The work draws on ancient spiritual knowledge and uses physician-supported ceremonies with protocols for administering the sacred root. This is an intensive, paid retreat setting rather than a drop-in meditation space, with six bedrooms that give guests room to step back and rest. Shared life gathers upstairs around an open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room. From three balconies, the view opens across nearby mountains and forest, while lakes are a few minutes away. Meals can be adapted to dietary needs, with organic, gluten-free, pescetarian and meat-inclusive options. Ask the center about retreat dates, daily structure and rates before making travel plans.

The practice
