🔍 Critical Notes
Root Healing offers traditional Bwiti Iboga ceremonies and Bwiti-informed wellness programs in the United States, Thailand, and Portugal.
Five Core Values at Root Healing
Root Healing (Thailand) is where time-honored ritual meets best practice in safety, hospitality, and care, for:
SPIRITUAL DISCOVERYÂ and psychological and physical healing;
PATTERN INTERRUPTIONÂ which is personalised and medically supported.
Our core values are held by everybody at Root Healing Retreats:
TRADITION
“You cannot have iboga without Bwiti, or Bwiti without iboga.”Â
As we adhere to iboga rituals that are thousands of years old, our guests benefit from the wisdom passed down from Bwiti ancestors to help realize the healing potential of this powerful medicine.
SAFETY
The Bwiti know how to work with iboga in a safe way, and this is encoded into the traditional, time-honored rituals we practice at Root Healing.
Combined with this, we make medical safety a top priority, with our medical support team helping with evaluations and monitoring.
STUDY
The Bwiti tradition is known as the “study of life itself.”
This forms our leading philosophy at Root Healing, where we are committed to being constant students in our own lives, as iboga providers and in the field of iboga research; learning from our own research programmes, scientific publications, updated protocols and professional collaborations.
EQUITABLE ACCESS
We started Root Healing because we wanted to help people heal with the help of iboga. Delivering the standard of care we offer all our guests unfortunately means meeting our running costs, but we believe financial status shouldn’t be a barrier to accessing healing with iboga. Get in touch to discuss equitable access opportunities: info@roothealing.com
RECIPROCITY
Root Healing aims to give back to the Bwiti communities who have been the guardians and protectors of iboga for thousands of years before generously sharing their spiritual tradition with us. Our reciprocity activities include volunteering, direct financial support, creating non-profit programmnes; and amplifying the voice of the Bwiti outside of Gabon.
We understand that some individuals seeking deep healing and transformation prefer a more intimate and personalized setting. For those who value privacy or wish to share the experience with a select group of their own choosing, we offer private ceremonies and retreats. These tailored experiences provide a unique opportunity to delve into the profound work with Iboga in a traditional Bwiti container, with the undivided attention and support of our experienced team, all within a comfortable and exclusive environment.
Whether you envision a solitary journey or a shared experience with loved ones, we’ll collaborate with you to design a retreat that honors your specific needs and intentions. This personalized approach ensures that you receive the focused care and guidance necessary for a truly transformative experience.
