At least one week before your Iboga journey we encourage you to begin your preparation of the body, mind and spirit. The medicine works best with the clearest channel so the more work we do in advance the less “noise” and toxins the medicine needs to cut through; the more time you give yourself the better.
There is no “Iboga Diet” per-se but the cleaner we eat, the easier it is for the medicine to move through the body.
There is also a very strong correlation between the body/mind/soul connections. When we are conscious and mindful about what we put in our bodies, we tend to be more mindful about our thoughts, environments, and the company we choose to keep. We find that many people after having a deep internal shift will also implement changes in their diet and vice versa.
The more prep we can do in advance to “tune in” and clean up aspects of our lives, the deeper the medicine can go more quickly.
Iboga is strong on the physical body so fasting or juicing exclusively is not recommended (though it is great to add juices to your eating schedule). Organic and minimally processed foods are best
.You will also see the shift in how you feel after a week of eating the vibrant and nourishing foods that we lovingly serve at the retreat!
It is recommended to pause most medications when working with Iboga. Either they are contraindicated or will simply be flushed out by the medicine. Speak with Anthony directly and honestly about anything that you are currently taking. This is for your safety; we cannot stress this enough.
If you have a normal routine 3-5 times a week continue this and perhaps add some extra time in nature if your practice is indoors. If you are not particularly active, consider adding the following activities:
-Walks in nature, perhaps with a pet
-Yoga, tai chi, qi gong
-Sauna, cold therapy, float tank
-Swimming, hiking, bike rides
Reduce/eliminate your television, computer, and social media time. We store a lot of programming in our subconscious from these sources and the clearer we are, the less Iboga has to move through before getting to the heart of what we are looking to receive from the medicine.
Consider also adding:
-Meditation (still or moving)
-Breathwork
-Journaling
-Vision boarding
-Art therapy (drawing/painting emotions without judgment)
-1:1 preparation sessions with one of our coaches or therapist of your choice
Our workbook is designed to help you get deeper into aspects of your life that might need more attention. The more detailed you go, the more you will receive.
It is quite common to tuck early life experiences away in our subconscious and/or even to normalize adverse experiences. Often diving into areas that we have not thought much about in many years will bring up new insights, especially when we are ready to see them. Opening this channel in advance can allow Iboga to illuminate new perspectives and facilitate exponential release.
We are also doing this work to learn to celebrate ourselves and our lives, expand our creativity and ascend to new levels!
Thank you for your willingness to enhance your life experience. This is an important commitment and we are grateful that you are interested in working with us! Please tell us a bit about yourself and we will connect to see if it is a good fit.
We would also love to speak with you directly. Please don’t hesitate to call via phone or WhatsApp or submit the private and encrypted form.
