iboga + deena
After her first Iboga ceremony in 2012, Deena knew that she would serve the medicine to others.
After incredibly extensive personal work with Iboga, she began training and providing Iboga with her dear friends at Sacred Soul Therapy House and Iboga Wellness Center. She then co-founded her own practice, IbogaJourney, alongside Jeremy, and dedicated seven years to running retreats in British Columbia, Canada. Held in her dual-yurt lodge home, these unique 3-day retreats were conducted in silence. During this time, she was honoured to witness the courage of close to a thousand people come face to face with the truth.
IbogaJourney still offers a unique and powerful way for people to experience Iboga in Canada, and these 3-day sessions are now facilitated by Treena. Jeremy now hosts week-long Iboga retreats in Nicaragua. For extensive details about Canadian sessions, contact Treena at ibogajourney@protonmail.com, and for Nicaraguan retreats, contact Jeremy at jeremy@ibogawake.com
the practice
While the Iboga experience itself is very unique and personal, collectively, IbogaJourney guests are together as one — all doing their part to create group healing. These circles of kindred souls act as a powerful catalyst, summoning the fortitude required to venture deep with the sacred wood.
An Iboga ceremony is a journey within, descending inward, past memory and experience. Through the body and past thought, into our natural, existential state. The stillness at the core of being. Iboga is a master guide on this trek into oneself, stripping away limiting conditioning, revealing the ever present potential of being.
The most powerful setting for the thick-walled Western mind to meet Iboga is in silence. Silence is a way to sever the connection to character. Letting go of language and surrendering to nature’s most effective cleanse. Allowing it to penetrate deep through the stillness. This penetration manifests as the cleansing and shedding of negative patterns and toxic buildup. A complete physical and energetic reset to flow with existence. An invitation back to the natural state of all beings. Iboga creates inner space to free limiting beliefs, clear emotional blockages and to drop stories and projections. With illusion stripped away, truth begins to reveal itself through unfiltered experience.
