1. The End of Healing
Prerequisite for the second level, Liberating from the Mind
At Root and Wisdom, we challenge the traditional retreat model, which often narrowly focuses on “healing” and trauma. This perspective, while well-intentioned, reflects a neocolonialist lens that diminishes the profound purpose of plant sacraments like Iboga. In the Bwiti tradition of Africa, Iboga is revered not merely as a tool for healing but as a sacred gateway to the spiritual realm—the domain of ancestors and ultimate truths.
This understanding prompted us to ask: “Is this work truly only about healing and trauma?” Consider this deeply: healing implies a lack of wholeness or a need to return to some ideal state. When someone says, “I need to heal,” they are unconsciously declaring, “I am not whole.” This mindset, though common, creates a disempowering foundation for engaging with master plant teachers.
Instead, we invite you to approach your time with Iboga as a journey of remembering your inherent wholeness. This shift transforms the same work into an empowering process done from a place of completeness rather than lack.
2. Liberating from the mind:
the End of suffering
This second tier deepens your transformational journey, guiding you to transcend the mind’s limitations and access profound freedom. Building on the foundation of The End of Healing, this level introduces you to the initiation dose of Iboga—a high concentration of the medicine that fully saturates the brain, allowing access to the subconscious mind and liberation from deeply rooted beliefs and limitations.
This phase embodies the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths:
- The truth of suffering.
- The truth of the cause of suffering.
- The truth of the end of suffering.
- The truth of the path to end suffering.
Through this experience, you’ll come to see the mind for what it truly is—and what it is not. You’ll discover the witness, the inner self that exists beyond thought and identity.
Program Details
This immersive experience requires intentional preparation, integration, and physical readiness.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of The End of Healing with us.
- 10 one-on-one preparatory sessions with Troy.
- At least 4 months of integration between your first retreat and this program.
The Initiation Dose:
Administered under expert guidance, this high-level dose of Iboga allows you to step into the role of the observer—the witness within. You’ll access the subconscious mind, transcend mental conditioning, and experience profound freedom.
The Journey
This phase includes:
- 1 Iboga Ceremony (Initiation Dose) – A high-level dose designed to liberate you from the mind. Due to its stimulatory effects, you may remain awake for several days. This dosage provides physical benefits while granting access to the subconscious and immense mental transmutation.
- Daytime Macro-Dose Session – Together, we will work with Iboga in a uniquely different way more aligned with how the Bwiti peoples commune with Iboga outside of specific ceremonies.
Integration Support
- 10 preparatory sessions with Troy.
- 5 post-experience sessions with Troy to ground the transformation.
This program is for those ready to take their inner work to the next level. For those seeking even deeper truths, the final tier, Self-Realization: The State of “I Am”, awaits.
3. Self-Realization:
The state of i am
The third tier invites you to go beyond thought, time, and identity to uncover your true self. This profound journey leads to a state of pure “I am,” transcending polarity and duality. Known across traditions as Self-Realization, this experience reveals the Atman—the inner self. Afterward, you will walk through life not as the ego but as a soul deeply rooted in its true nature.
The Journey
This phase includes:
- Iboga Ceremony x 1 – A dose higher than the introductory level but less intense than initiation. This prepares you to enter transcendent states.
- Tepezcohuite Ceremony x 2 – Often called the “Love Ceremony,” this sacred medicine serves as a gateway to transcendent awareness. It clears subconscious patterns and provides profound clarity, aligning you with your highest self.
Facilitated by Joaly and guided by Troy’s understanding of the Yoga Sutras, this journey takes you to the core of your being, offering a transformative experience akin to Samadhi.
Preparation and Integration
- 5 preparatory sessions with Troy.
- 5 Integration sessions with Troy.
- 2 individual shamanic breathwork sessions with Joaly.
A Unique Offering
This level is reserved for those ready to step into the deepest realms of self-discovery. Self-realization is the culmination of your journey, offering a life lived beyond suffering, rooted in truth, and aligned with your highest purpose.
4. Dream Walking:
Advanced Sleep Fasting for Psyche Transformation
Dream Walking is the pinnacle of our offerings, reserved for those who have completed the first three levels. Developed by Troy, this program introduces the practice of “sleep fasting,” using the stimulatory effects of Iboga to remain awake for extended periods. This intense process brings participants to a state where sleep becomes the sole priority, stripping away all other concerns and attachments.

This intense process brings participants to a state where sleep becomes the sole priority, stripping away all other concerns and attachments.
Key Insights:
- The Concept of Sleep Fasting: Just as fasting removes weaker tissues from the body, sleep fasting reveals and dissolves the weaker, diseased aspects of the psyche.
- True Surrender: When sleep becomes the only focus, the world’s distractions lose their hold. This creates a profound opportunity to cultivate detachment and clarity.
Program Details:
- A 10-day immersive retreat conducted in a 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 setting.
- Participants work directly with Troy to reach a state of psychological purification and clarity.
The Experience:
- Extended wakefulness sessions with Iboga to push beyond the limits of the psyche.
- Deep integration practices to bring the clarity of this state into everyday life.
Prerequisites:
- Completion of The End of Healing, Liberating from the Mind, and Self-Realization.
