Who is welcome to the Iboga with us?
If you know that you want to undergo an iboga ceremony with a “flood dose” in the guidance of the Czech Bwiti temple of Kumacenge, then you are welcome, if you have a really clear intention for your life’s journey, if you are willing to let something die in you and let something to transform, and something new let born.
If you just want to “try” iboga, it’s not for you.
You should feel with your whole being that Iboga is calling you, and you feel to the core of your bones, to the smallest cell of your earthly body, that yes, you want to go for it. You need iboga. You know it. Iboga is calling you.
Iboga 4-days short retreat
Four-day shortened retreat, including 3 nights.
For the full effect, it is recommended to take the opportunity and receive three doses of Iboga, although some people are not able to handle it physically and therefore take at least two doses.
We begin with an opening ceremony around the fire, during which there is an introduction to the “Invisible World” and a declaration of intentions. After that follows a spiritual bath (water with herbs), and then it is time to take the Iboga.
During the stay, there are three ceremonies held over three nights, called Ngozé. This means that you take Iboga while we play and sing live music with the sacred Bwiti harp (Ngomo or Ngombi) from evening until morning. The songs are performed in three languages — the original African Bwiti language, Latin, and Czech (see more at the Music page).
The first night is dedicated to spiritual birth, the second to spiritual death, and the third to spiritual rebirth.
During the process, you will also receive your new Bwiti spiritual name called Nkombo, from the Spirit of Iboga and we talk about your spiritual journeys.
Before departure, there is a final ceremony, called Okandzo, during which you offer a financial gift of any amount in addition to what you contributed in advance, and ask for a safe return home.
Since this is a very intensive stay, you need to prepare very well. A complete diet 24 hours in advance is required! How to prepare?
Conditions:
- You are not addicted to any substances, drugs or medicines!
- The reason is spiritual growth, emotional forgiveness, life change, etc.

Locations of our Iboga place
There are two main options – in the tee-pee tent or in the house (or other locations on request).
Tee-pee tent retreat
Our place is located 25 min by car from Olomouc, Czech Republic. The ceremony is in very natural environment in a tee-pee tent. You will receive the exact address when we agree on the date of your therapy. You can come by train to Olomouc and there you will be pick up by car.
This place truly has a special charm, as it is very simple — there is no electricity, only a dry toilet and well water. You will hear the whisper of the wind in the trees, sometimes the drumming of raindrops on the canvas, the singing of birds, and the quiet presence of ants and insects — occasionally even other animals around.
You rest in your own sleeping bag (it must be of good quality!) on simple mattresses. It is cheaper than staying in the house and suitable only for those who wish to connect more deeply with themselves and are accustomed to basic, less comfortable camping conditions.
In the house
Our house is situated 30 min by car near Olomouc, CZ. There is much more comfort like bathroom, beds, electricity, kitchen etc. We start and finish in the garden near the fire.
You will receive the exact address when we agree on the date of your therapy. You can come by train to Olomouc, CZ and there you will be pick up by car.
Other place
If you have at least group of at least 3-5 people in your country and if you want that we will do ceremony in your place, contact us, I can come alone or with my Cameroonian Bwiti Master Arnaud Beyala (see his website ibogamintombo.com) to any country.
How it will be happening?
The participants must have their mobile phone switched off at all time!
We will be in a small group maximum of 5 people (4 participants + me, your guide and possible an assistent). Maybe we can be just 2 or 3.
We will meet at our place in the afternoon usually 3 or 4 p.m., we prepare the place, and start soon.
You will be guided through the Bwiti entry ritual around a small fire, this is an important part of the whole process. You should have ready your “letter to the Universe” and your intention for the therapy (see page How to prepare). We will sing, dance and have talks.
In the late afternoon we start with few more doses of Iboga so you will be slowly very full dose. I play the harp ngomo and sing for you as long as I can.
Soon you will start to feel Iboga in your whole body. You will be lying in your bed the whole time, in a safe environment. Don’t worry, I will be with you all the time, I will watch over you, take care of you, play the Bwiti harp and sing, it will give you strength, energy and support…
The iboga state can last well into the morning very strong and slowly is leaving until afternoon of the other day. In the strongest process, it is difficult to walk, strong visions (hallucinations) appear, you feel physically “different”. I’m with you all the time, if needed, I’ll help you go to the toilet, bring water, take away a full bucket…
Other days we continue with Iboga, sharing, dancing, singing, walks etc.
