Question 1

What tangible healings can an Iboga retreat bring to my life?

Accepted Answer

Iboga acts on emotional, energetic, ancestral, mental, and behavioural levels. It helps to release deep wounds, reprogram limiting beliefs, and clear parasitic energies, enabling profound realignment and inner freedom.

Question 2

I’ve been feeling very depressed for a long time — can I heal this during your Iboga retreats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if your condition allows for a safe experience. Iboga helps reveal and heal the root causes of sadness, disconnection and despair. The process is deep and sacred, but not a substitute for medical treatment.

Question 3

I feel like I’ve been stuck for years and disconnected from my life’s purpose. Can an Iboga ceremony at HIMA truly change this?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Iboga helps uncover and release the blockages that prevent alignment with your soul path. Many participants rediscover clarity, motivation, and deep purpose through the Full Flood process.

Question 4

I’ve already done a retreat with another sacred plant (e.g. Ayahuasca, Bufo, Kambo). Can I still join your Iboga retreat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with proper integration time. We recommend waiting at least 2 to 4 weeks between sacred plant experiences before attending a Full Flood retreat.

Question 5

Can I have a “bad trip” during an Iboga retreat?

Accepted Answer

Iboga does not create 'bad trips' like recreational psychedelics. Difficult moments may arise, but always with a healing intention. Preparation, respect, and honesty are essential for a safe experience.

Question 6

What are the effects of Iboga during a Full Flood ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Iboga may induce visions, emotional release, purging, and deep introspection. It detoxifies the system and reveals what needs to be healed with clarity and precision, under a safe ceremonial setting.

Question 7

How is Iboga administered during a Full Flood ceremony at HIMA?

Accepted Answer

We serve Iboga as finely ground root bark, taken orally in carefully measured doses, under a traditional shamanic protocol. The process is guided by the plant’s intelligence and held in a safe ceremonial space.
