Welcome to your journey to connect more deeply to your soul and thus, all of creation
This life is precious, and you seek to explore your highest potential with the time you have, be at ease in your own skin, and love fully with both courage and vulnerability. Join us in the intention to live fully in the present moment—while tending the earth for future generations. These intentions begin within ourselves, supported by the profound healing available from your Iboga retreat in Costa Rica.
Meet the sacred Iboga medicine, from the root of the world, Central West Africa, held by the Missoko Bwiti tradition over eons.
You may sense that the earth can offer greater healing than you’ve encountered before—for the mind, body, and spirit.
Like Ayahuasca, San Pedro (Huachuma), Peyote, and Psilocybin mushrooms, it is a sacred visionary plant medicine, yet Iboga is an utterly unique spirit.
AS SEEN IN
The SoulCentro team serves Iboga in a traditional Bwiti way with the highest possible medical standard of care with the blessing of Bwiti elders, drawing on a decade of experience with hundreds of ceremonies and an excellent safety record.
Our intention is to create a safe sanctuary to pursue healing, exploration, creativity, personal empowerment, joy, and soul connection. We begin our relationship with guests long before they arrive, supporting informed consent. We strive to hold the highest standards and best practices for medical, spiritual, physical, and psychological safety for Iboga retreats. Our work is trauma-informed within an authentic Bwiti container.
Our Iboga retreats are offered at a peaceful, private centers in nature. Enjoy a warm environment, fresh air, quietude, sunny days, gulf ocean views, and local pristine beaches. Wildlife abounds and enchants daily. Be serenaded by a virtual symphony of birds.
Exquisite Hospitality is Our Intention.
TRADITIONAL PURPOSES

Reciprocity and sustainability are foundational commitments for SoulCentro.
Supporting medicine sustainability is how we practice reciprocity with the spirit of Iboga, ensuring that its gifts will bless future generations for the lifetime of the Earth.
Reciprocity is not only the sacred law of nature, it is a JOY. We are here in this life to celebrate giving and receiving. What exactly is indigenous reciprocity? It is far more than just writing a check. It begins with mutual respect and authentic relationship, though which we come to understand each other’s way of knowing, spiritual and cultural gifts, and needs.

Coming to Iboga or Ibogaine is a big decision. These are both among the most powerful shamanic medicines on earth, and they deserve careful consideration.
Ancestral Wounds are Where the Medicine Enters: New MAPS Article
“Have you ever been to a slave castle?” asked the man from Ghana, as we stood outside a temple shrine for the dead on one sacred desert playa. “Vultures still circle over it 200 years later.” He paused.
PREPARING THE SPIRIT FOR IBOGA
To best prepare our spirit for Iboga, we start by relating to Iboga as a spirit—rather than just a medicinal substance to consume. For there is a spiritual intelligence in the plant teacher—just as there is a spiritual intelligence within ourselves.
PREPARING THE MIND FOR IBOGA
Iboga is known as the ultimate “mind medicine” by many people who have experienced multiple psychedelic sacred earth medicines. Iboga will “throw on the floodlights” in our psychic basement and then excavate the contents like nothing else…
PREPARING THE BODY FOR IBOGA + SAFETY TIPS
Over hundreds of ceremonies, we have seen that the “cleaner” we come to the medicine, the safer, more fruitful, and more integrated the experience will be. The physical preparation for Iboga directly relates to the quality and duration of the outcome…
