If it is here you find yourself, we welcome you in the knowledge that you are possibly seeking answers to unique life circumstances? We need never fear our questions, for questions always imply answers, and further we need never fear ourselves, for all of us remain unique, gifted and loved by the divine wisdom of nature. Iboga is the gateway for the study of life, the Bwiti tradition preserved within its spirit is our guide towards the artform of observance of the self. Iboga meets us where we need to be met, it knows us and anticipates our arrival. From this point of knowledge, it teaches us that we are the seers and not that which we see, we create that which we see and experience. From here we end ignorance, afflictions and pain, the spirit of Iboga begins its teachings, life lessons of strength and love.

RETREAT DATES

Our facilitators Ibogawaken, continue their intensive training with the medicine and are realized with sensibility and grace which comes from in-depth knowledge of the Bwiti tradition and practical experience of healing many through Iboga. Ibogas strength in developing connections through spirit results in neural cleansing, circulatory enhancement and unblocking of energies, trapped or resting as residue within the physical, whilst offering reasons for their physical manifestation. We learn new patterning and responsibility in our healing. As children find themselves in a new environment and susceptible to new patterns we require nurturing, empathy and guidance to ensure maximum development for the individual during and after their experience with Iboga. Our providers stabilize and sustain space through traditional wisdom in the understanding of the unique circumstance we find ourselves as individuals. Your confidentiality, your expression, your direction is secure, understood and fostered through compassion. You are free to heal with the supremely intelligent guidance of Iboga - whatever we seek to remove we are loved and assisted in the most incredible of ways.
Become in possession of yourself, inhabit the life you are, cultivate that which you dream. Move beyond any need to prove yourself to yourself or others, for you are light, sound and electromagnetic energy of one substance waiting to fulfill what is yours.
Iboga knows you, Bwiti knows you, become yourself, take what is yours, generate your freedom.

RETREAT PROGRAM
We are offering 7 day, 6 night Iboga retreats in southern Costa Rica. Our retreats are completely orientated around traditional Missoko Bwiti protocols. The tradition of the Bwiti needs to be present for the healing to be deepened . The ancestral spirits and people´s of Bwiti emblaze and amplify the connection to the root. Our retreats are 7 days, 6 nights long but your preparatory work will begin well before and continue, well possibly forever if you are really dedicated.
Our Iboga providers for these retreats will be Ibogawaken. Ibogawaken have been training in the traditional Bwiti way for many years. under the guidance of Moughenda Mikala.
This retreat will have a maximum of 6 participants only. This enables the provider to give specialized attention and care. A screening process, intake form and medical health checks are part of the preparatory process and we will assist you with these.
Bwiti is the study of life! During our ceremonies you will receive Iboga root bark that has been traditionally prepared and sustainably sourced by the Missoko Bwiti people. It is the inner bark of the root of the Tabernanthe Iboga tree. Traditionally prepared bark preserves the spirit of Iboga. The emancipation during the symbiosis with Iboga is the zero point, the ever new beginning, the eternal fresh start, clean slate, free of time based traumas and illusion. Iboga is the gift from the Gods. A training tool when used in tradition. The tradition provides guidance and knowledge to allow the individual to begin a journey of total choice. We are returned to the deep cellular knowledge that resides within all of us. We are blessed to be supported by the unimaginable. almost unthinkable, sacred knowledge of the Bwiti - its ancestors, its legacy in those such as Moughenda Mikala, to provide an opportunity to individuals to take ownership of their self, to learn with support, to be watched over, loved and supported in your journey to become one again. Bassé!

ABOUT IKARA RETREAT CENTRE
It has always been our deepest of intentions to work with the Iboga medicine. Bwiti spiritual tradition is indelibly linked with nature and we are encircled by nature at Ikara. Costa Rica is close to the equator, similar to Gabon in Africa and so our location is correctly aligned geographically with the medicine. We experience an even flow of electrical energy and ion distribution due to our proximity to the ocean. This is settling for all meditative practice and facilitates deep resonance with the self and environment.
We are located high in the hills above the authentic Tico village of Portalón. We have the best of all worlds here - quiet and secluded, set amongst old growth tropical rain forest. close to Matapalo beach, the beautiful Portalón river, and the Hills of Portalón Wildlife Sanctuary, We are located only 15 minutes from the community of Dominical and 30 minutes to Manuel Antonio National Park, Quepos.
We are biased of course, we chose this place and it is now where we call home so we should let the images speak for themselves!
