Discover the transformative power of Iboga through our unique approach, designed to optimize brain health, reset the nervous system, reconnect you with your innate wholeness, transcend mental conditioning, and guide you toward self-realization. .
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.
This is where your journey begins—and for many, where it naturally concludes. During this foundational retreat, Iboga is carefully administered in guided ceremonies to reconnect you with your intrinsic wholeness. Through its visionary gifts, you will uncover and release limiting beliefs that have shaped your reality.
Many participants leave feeling grounded, centered, and liberated, with a profound sense of clarity and empowerment. Your nervous system will reset, and your brain will operate optimally due to Iboga’s scientifically proven benefits.
What You’ll Receive
There’s no additional sign-up or commitment for this level—its transformative benefits naturally unfold during your time with us. For those seeking deeper exploration, the next level, Liberating from the Mind, awaits.
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:
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.
This immersive experience requires intentional preparation, integration, and physical readiness.

The Journey
This phase includes:
Integration Support
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.
The third tier invites you to move beyond the boundaries of thought, time, and conditioned identity, guiding you into direct recognition of your true self. This is not an intellectual understanding, but a profound inner realization—an awakening into the state of pure “I Am,” where all notions of separation, polarity, and duality fall away. In this space, awareness rests in itself, free from labels, stories, and roles.
Across spiritual traditions, this awakening is known as Self-Realization. It is the direct knowing of the Atman—the eternal, unchanging presence that has always existed beneath the surface of the mind. Here, the seeker dissolves, and what remains is simple being: whole, complete, and self-luminous.
From this realization, life is no longer lived through the narrow lens of the ego. Actions arise naturally from clarity rather than conditioning, and experience unfolds without resistance or attachment. You walk through the world grounded in your true nature—present, compassionate, and deeply aligned with the quiet intelligence of the soul. Life continues, but it is lived from truth rather than illusion, from essence rather than identity.
This phase includes:
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
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.
Dream Walking represents the pinnacle of our work and is offered only to those who have completed the first three levels of the journey. Developed by Troy, this advanced program is designed for individuals who have cultivated the discipline, awareness, and inner stability required to move beyond conventional states of consciousness.
At the heart of Dream Walking is the practice known as “sleep fasting”—a deliberate and immersive process that leverages the stimulatory properties of Iboga to extend wakefulness beyond ordinary limits. As time unfolds, the familiar structures that organize daily life—routine, distraction, desire, and control—gradually fall away. What remains is a singular, unavoidable truth: the body and mind’s profound need for sleep.
In this state, all secondary concerns dissolve. Personal narratives, attachments, and mental strategies lose their relevance, replaced by a raw and immediate encounter with awareness itself. The participant is guided to the threshold between waking and dreaming, where consciousness becomes fluid and the boundary between inner and outer worlds softens.
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.
