5-Day Iboga Retreat - Deep Reset/Addiction & Shadow Work Arc

5-Day Iboga Deep Reset Retreat Theme: Nervous System Reset • Addiction Interruption • Identity Rebuild This structure assumes serious screening, medical awareness, and experienced facilitation. 🪶 DAY 1 — Arrival & Stabilisation (Landing the System) Purpose: calm the nervous system + assess readiness Arrival in silence-friendly natural setting Welcome orientation (rules, safety, expectations) Full intake screening (physical + psychological history) Heart-focused check (blood pressure, risk flags, etc.) Light grounding meal (no stimulants, no heavy food) Gentle somatic grounding: breathwork (slow, down-regulating) walking in nature Early sleep (nervous system begins downshift) Theme: “You are entering a reset field” 🌊 DAY 2 — Preparation & Detox Layer Purpose: clear body load + prepare psyche Light fasting or restricted diet protocol (depending on model) Morning movement (yoga / shaking / somatic release) Emotional mapping session: addiction patterns / trauma loops / life structure Optional Rapé-style grounding (if part of your system) Deep rest periods throughout the day No overstimulation (no phones, minimal talking) Theme: “Emptying the noise” 🌑 DAY 3 — Iboga Ceremony (Core Experience) Purpose: deep inner confrontation + psychological reset Full ceremonial preparation: intention setting (simple, non-mental overload) body relaxation + grounding protocol Iboga administration (supervised, structured setting) Long-duration inner journey (hours of deep processing) Continuous monitoring (heart rhythm awareness critical) Minimal external stimulation, safe observation presence Night into early morning experience window Theme: “The truth encounter” 🌅 DAY 4 — Recovery & Nervous System Re-Entry Purpose: stabilize body + integrate raw experience Extended sleep + rest cycle Hydration + gentle nutrient restoration No pressure to speak early Light somatic integration: grounding touch therapy or breathwork nature contact (barefoot walking, water immersion) Optional group circle late afternoon: only if participant is stable enough Theme: “Returning to the body” 🌱 DAY 5 — Integration & Life Rebuilding Purpose: turn experience into real-world structure Structured integration session: what changed internally what patterns collapsed what must change externally Practical life mapping: addiction triggers / relationship dynamics / habits Personalized integration plan (post-retreat roadmap) Closing ceremony (simple, grounded, non-overstimulating) Departure preparation + aftercare instructions Theme: “Re-entering life differently” ⚠️ Core Safety Structure (important if you build this brand) A credible iboga retreat always includes: medical screening before acceptance heart risk exclusion criteria trained facilitators present during ceremony emergency protocol access plan strict substance interaction rules (no mixing protocols) post-ceremony monitoring period 🧠 What this retreat actually is (honest framing) This is not: a recreational psychedelic experience a “spiritual festival” a multi-medicine stacking journey This is closer to: a neuro-psychological reset process with deep introspective trauma work

🌿 Food at the Iboga Retreat 🧠 Core principle Food is designed to: reduce strain on the heart and liver support nervous system stability keep digestion light and efficient prepare the body for deep introspection support safe recovery after ceremony This is a gentle, cleansing, low-toxin nutritional arc — not gourmet indulgence, not fasting extremes. 🥗 Pre-Ceremony Food (Day 1–2) Purpose: lighten the system You’ll be served: simple vegetable-based meals steamed greens (spinach, zucchini, carrots, pumpkin) light soups and broths rice or quinoa in small portions herbal teas (chamomile, mint, ginger) fresh fruit in moderation Avoided: caffeine alcohol processed sugar heavy fats meat (depending on protocol) stimulants or fermented foods Goal: calm digestion so the body is not “busy” during the medicine. 🌑 Ceremony Day (Day 3) Purpose: minimal load on the body very light or no solid food intake before ceremony hydration with electrolytes or herbal water sometimes a fasting window is used depending on facilitator model Reason: Iboga is long-acting and requires a system that is not overloaded. 🌅 Post-Ceremony Food (Day 4) Purpose: rebuild gently After Iboga, digestion is sensitive and the nervous system is open. Food includes: warm vegetable soups (carrot, squash, potato, celery base) soft cooked rice or oats steamed vegetables avocado in small amounts (healthy fat reintroduction) herbal teas (ginger, fennel, lemongrass) light fruit (banana, papaya if available) Key rule: “Small, warm, slow, and simple.” 🌱 Final Day Food (Day 5) Purpose: re-enter normal life gently balanced plant-based meals light proteins may be reintroduced depending on protocol (eggs/fish in some retreats, optional) more texture and variety, but still clean grounding foods: root vegetables, grains, greens hydration focus continues ⚠️ What is STRICTLY avoided To maintain safety and protect heart + nervous system balance: alcohol caffeine / energy drinks processed sugar ultra-processed foods stimulants (including recreational substances) heavy red meat before ceremony dairy-heavy diets during retreat extreme fasting (not supported in iboga work) 🧬 Why food matters so much in Iboga work Iboga interacts with: cardiovascular system liver metabolism neurotransmitter reset processes So food is not lifestyle choice here — it is: a safety tool + integration tool + medicine preparation layer
