Iboga “winter solstice” 4-days retreat
Date: December 20, 2024 (from 5 PM) to December 23, 2024 (we finish around noon)
This is the only retreat after a 3-month pause due to my stay abroad. The next date will be in the second half of February 2025.
The event will take place in a yurt in Olomouc-Svatý Kopeček, Czech Republic.
Hello, friends!
I invite you to a four-day “fast-track initiation” with iboga and Bwiti rituals.
This retreat is suitable for those who are not dealing with physical addiction and do not take any medications (at least 3 weeks prior). If you are addressing addictions, medications, or specific physical issues, a week-long stay is necessary (after consultation).
This four-day shortened retreat, including 3 “full” doses of iboga, will provide a comprehensive restart of life. The usual phases you need to go through are:
- Birth
- Death
- Rebirth
You cannot escape these phases if you want to advance further in your life. When you take iboga for the first time, you feel like a newly born baby. You are fragile, pure, and full of life energy. You find your way back to yourself, but you feel vulnerable; this newly gained freedom seems beautiful, yet you know you are not at the end, and there is more to come.
Iboga works in layers. Significant life changes need time and cannot be rushed. The second iboga night usually brings about the death of all certainties and not usefull thoughts. This must happen. Don’t worry, you’ll handle it. There’s no need to carry the burdens of the past, the shackles of dysfunctional relationships, or the mental patterns that weigh you down. All of this and much more must die within you. We are all in this together. There’s no other way.
The third dose arrives, the third iboga night, and the process of rebirth will be completed during it. In the morning, you will feel like never before—you’ll know that everything that happened in life before you came to iboga served to allow you to take a deep breath, smile at yourself and the world around you, and say: … (everyone will have their own words 🙂 ).
That might be one way to describe it.
Or perhaps in a completely different way.
What will your story be?
Given that this is a very intense retreat, you must prepare very well (preparation instructions). A complete diet is mandatory 24 hours beforehand!
The retreat includes Bwiti rituals adapted to Czech conditions, music with sacred Bwiti instruments, singing, and dancing—all to ensure you don’t get “lost along the way.” The “Ngoma harp,” revered in Bwiti as a Goddess, will lead the way with its sound.
By the end, you will receive your new Bwiti spiritual name from the Spirit of Iboga, known as “Kombo.”

- You are not dependent on any substances, drugs, or medications!
