Before I started worked with the wood, I was constantly in my head, highly reactive and suffered from constant looping thoughts. Working with the wood stopped all that. I am much calmer and sociable now. My thoughts don’t loop anymore. It’s much easier to be in meditative mindful state. Even my brainwaves changed. Amazing. And it is a lasting effect. Deeply grateful. Celine has an outstanding ability to create safe space. She really holds it. Fully. And she puts all her heart and presence into the work. Because of that I always feel safe to let go and enjoy the experience. Thank you so much.

After many years of searching for healing and working with various different plant medicines and meditation techniques, I still felt stuck in life and couldn’t find a way out. Having heard about Iboga in the plant medicine circles, I decided to take a leap of faith and search out for a trustworthy and safe environment to work with Iboga. I came across The Origin and Celine online, after getting in touch and providing all necessary health checks, Celine and I arranged a Skype meeting – where we had an instant connection and I felt a deep appreciation for her strong presence, which was very intuitive and curious yet not intrusive. Fast forward, upon attending the 3days ceremony in the Netherlands, I was fortunate to encounter the medicine with Celine and her team. The ceremony itself was held in such an attentive, nurturing and joyful yet serious and respectful way that was inspired by the origins of the medicine (West Africa — a place where my family originates from – so my appreciation for the medicine and Celine’s way was even more strengthened). Without going into the specific details of my journey with Iboga, I would summarise the experience as having a meeting with some of my ancestors who instructed me to take a back seat while they summon their wisdom, power and guidance to relief me of the heaviness in my life. Although I have many experience working with plant medicines over the years, I never for once was left wanting for care and attention when I needed it. Nearly two years after, I continue to feel the effect of Iboga in my life – something which I can give partial credit to for transforming major aspects of my life, especially in the areas of having clarity with my life and journey towards realising my purpose, and also it has helped me in being rooted and grounded and embodying my true nature and authentic power. Celine, I may have never had the chance to say this to you: but sincerely, thank you for enabling this space to exist and more importantly, thank you for your willingness to bring your ‘humanness’ and bold vulnerability to this work and for your efforts of leaving ’the ego’ outside so that you can stay true to the spirit of the medicine.

My Iboga experience with the Origin. I have done pretty much everything spiritual the planet has to offer and settled for the Dzogchen Buddhistic way of life. Meditating in the past 22 years I can say the Iboga offered me something meditation (and other plant medicine or techniques) could never reach. For me the only real way to see the ultimate truth was to die in the worst possible way, which I did in this ceremonie. It was beyond misery, loneliness, pain where crying had no more meaning. I knew I was not real (I had the realisation and understanding already), but there was a great fear that this would mean if the body / brain dies, everything ends like in general anaesthesia – the light goes out. What is the purpose if everything ends? What am I doing if it has no real meaning? If it is all biological, I am waisting my life in meditation. Well after the flood dosis was well on its way on the second night of the Iboga ceremony with a buzzing sound in my ears and pretty much unable to move with the mind in a free-fall, the energetic pressure started to build inside and around my heart. At a certain point it felt like the sun had settled inside my heart pushing everything outward with great power and intensity. This took 16 hours of pushing and me experiencing the push and pain and misery that accompanied it until the point of complete exhaustion and hopelessness beyond crying and even beyond fear. In this exhaustion the sun took everything over and all became silent and empty. With it the unshakable realisation that I am not fear, I am not pain, I am not misery and I am not dying. What remained was life itself, silent and present everywhere. It is like an infinite ocean where the waves are the hands of life reaching out in love to be and experience life as itself. It is only when it enters a body that consciousness arises. Life has no starting point and will never die. It is not subjected to time or location. This cannot be achieved as you already are it. It is the brain that will realise this truth but is not itself this truth. This was a very deep realisation for me and answered many questions I still had on the path. Also the ceremony removed the third eye focal point (the ability to focus) and merged it with the heart center. Before I could say I am silence itself (in the head) able to focus on something and the world takes place inside the heart, but now everything takes place as the heart. I thank Celine for her assistance and making such a powerful program available.

“I came to ceremony with much weight on my shoulders. I could step into a place of vulnerability and openness, as the space was held with so much love and compassion. It was truly important to me, to sit with a guide who doesn’t just apply her skills and training, but who carries and simply “is” love as much as Celine.” I love you sister!

“My experience working with “The Wood” through Celine and her team was deeply revealing, grounding and beautiful. Celine is an exquisite guide and she created a space of safety and love (her sacred alter was particularly lovely). The team was supportive and caring during the ceremonies – Iboga can be very hard on the body and I was very grateful to Jorge and Emile for their loving assistance. Iboga revealed patterns that no longer serve me and has helped me tremendously in living a more authentic life.”

I did my the Iboga ceremony in 2016 after a long and thorough search that ended when I found Celines ceremonies and was aware of the presence that came through her presentation. At arrival, it was evident that I was in very safe and experienced hands with Celine and her team. Celine lead the whole ceremony with deep grace and transmitted a deep trust and respect both for us and the Wood. Her presence was relentlessly strong, safe, loving and holding through every minute of the long ceremony. She guides from a uniquely deep place and I will return with solid confidence in her deep guiding and holding.

On my continuing journey I have participated in numerous retreats in Europe, South America and Central America and can recommend The Origin to anyone seeking a life changing experience with the Sacred Medicines. I have attended three weekend retreats with The Origin (two Peyote and one Iboga) which were challenging, magical and beautiful at times, but always extremely rewarding. Celine and her teams always went the extra mile to provide a safe, warm, loving environment that facilitates healing and spiritual growth. The location is magical and beautiful with fantastic food and the music is always powerful. All in all The Origin provides a ceremonial environment that enhances the Sacred medicines. If you have received a calling for the Sacred Medicine after doing your research and are looking for a suitable and safe environment then I would highly recommend The Origin. Celine has great spirit about her and you will feel at ease immediately. I look forward to returning.

“Working with the plant medicine Iboga has brought me many amazing changes. I have been able to get rid of disturbing thoughts which have often been affecting my mood and behavior in the past. They have vanished completely and I feel an enormous clarity and space in my brain. I have also been able to address deep hidden childhood trauma, things that I was no longer conscious about but that were apparently still affecting my life. Iboga offers the opportunity to meet old trauma and to revise it, whilst not being dragged into it emotionally too much. Mentally there were a few tough challenges for me during the proces, however very interesting, as I see them as tasks or problems Iboga gives me to solve. I just love working with Iboga, this is my medicine. The team from The Origin created a safe environment for the attendants in a perfect quiet location surrounded by beautiful nature. The ceremony itself was clearly defined and very precisely carried out. Thank you Celine and assistants for your amazing assistance!”

Iboga was my first experience with plant medicine ever and I am very happy, satisfied and grateful for all that this ceremony had in for me. I felt absolutely safe and really well accompanied by Celine and the team at all times during these five days. Celine has a very special gift of sensing where people are at. Whenever I needed support in any form it was just there for me. I got in touch with deep shadows and old trauma, which I could see, acknowledge and let go. The location is such a beautiful isle of nature… just the perfect surrounding. And on top…the food provided by Levina (the owner of Isis Sofia) was like the cherry on the cake… very healthy and even more tasty. After the ceremony I feel very grounded and confident I recognize the plant now after a week still working gently and subtle inside of me. I experience more and more little changes and different possible reactions to triggers that have formerly not been possible. Looking forward to all that is coming.

The Iboga Cermonie with Celine and her assistants was the most intense and wonderful experience with herbal medicine for me. The rituals in Cermonie are so strong and connecting. I have always felt safe and secure. such a magical place. I chose Iboga because I couldn’t get any further with my developmental trauma that manifested itself so strongly in my body. Iboga has given me back my body in such a great presence.Old themes pop up and I quickly find my centre again… the peace in my head the first time after the cermony is such a good experience, right here and now. Iboga has opened the door to be myself even more. Thanks Celine .

The property is beautifully imbedded in nature, a unique jewel. Celine is well experienced with the medicine and has a very pleasant personality. She is the loving authority that guides each and every participants together with her team through the experience. I liked that ritual approach. Facilities and food are great too. The experience of the medicine itself is highly personalised, I labeled it the “know thyself medicine”. Other activities like the holotropic breathwork and sound healing are a great completion of your journey with Iboga. If you are looking to work with Iboga I can highly recommend Celine & The Origin. Feel free to ask Celine for my contact details in order to endorse my statement.”

If you are reading this, you are ready. The healing is available to you, in a circle of wonderful beings, and in a truly safe place. Celine and her assistants will help you to embark on this journey, so you can ease out and let the work begin. It is challenging to let go of the expectations, but if you just set your intentions right, the Sacred Wood will help you to start the healing process. I cannot recall the moment in my life, prior to joining the ceremony, when I’d feel so free to be vulnerable, fragile, and then grounded and free. Dear Celine, and all the assistance team, your work is everything. Thank you allowing me to regain trust in self and others, thank you for calming me down when I was not okay, thank you for this service you dedicated yourself to. You are Love, and you are loved.

” 12 months have passed since the wonderful ceremonies with Celine and all I can say is that my life changed in such a beautiful way that I never believed possible. I’m deeply grateful to the root for showing me truth! Thank you wonderful Celine for your devotion, love and care!”

Last May ’21 I attended a Iboga retreat at The Origin and I have only good words for the way this was facilitated and the profound effects of this amazing root. 🌳 The spirit gave clarity and release regarding deep rooted issues, pointed out hidden tendencies and cleared out obstructive thought patterns. Parts of it was pure bliss, parts were less blissful. The spirit shows where stuckness is in this human incarnation and points you towards the light. 🙏🏼 > Much gratitude & love!

A trip that I didn’t know was on my bucket list beforehand. I have seen quite a few places on this globe, but the Sinai really has something magical. The silence of the desert that let me sink into my body, the starry sky that is so beautiful and clear to cry, the flashing sound and warmth of the fire, the fine energy of the whole team and among my fellow travelers, the space that there was to be in connection with another and the space to connect with myself. It was all there. Extremely grateful that I was allowed to make this trip and I wish this adventure to everyone. A wonderful gift to give to yourself.

Dear Celine, Here it is, from my heart. I came burnt out, with a stone on my heart. I left Isis Sofia 200% rejuvenated, and with a heart filled with joy. Anything I put into words, cannot describe the amount of love, kindness and care that is infused by Celine and her team. I couldn’t possibly have been in better hands… At the time, I was completely burnt out and anxious since I felt incredibly empty and unfulfilled. I had numerous doubts and fears before making a final decision to experience Iboga. I count my days until I can make it back there, to be with my extended family. I overcame my fears of commitment, healed deep wounds, traumas, to name a few, and ended up getting married while finding out what I really want to do with my life. Which is to help people have an extraordinary impact and help them to fulfill their dream projects by coaching. I truly believe that Iboga had a big part in me discovering my true gifts. It’s been one of the greatest ‘investments’ of my lifetime. I will do my best to share and inspire anyone that is ready for this incredibly healing journey. With Love & Admiration, Reza

For quite some time I was stuck in my life which led me to be unhappy. I struggled with anxiety and fear, these patterns were very strong in my life and I found it hard to deal with. The patterns developed over a long period in my past and I tried many things to get rid of my problem to enjoy life again. nothing seemed to work… then I encountered Iboga, I started to read about it and it seemed like the cure for everything. So I decided to take a leap of faith and do an iboga ceremony with The Origin. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome. I met with all the other participants and soon after, we did a sharing where we all told why we were there. This really helped me to connect with everyone. The following days we did different things: meditations, sharings and rituals which were part of the iboga ceremony. These things together felt really liberating on its own because I had to get out of my comfort zone and show my real self to everyone. I would say this also felt like therapy. Everyone was really kind and understanding and I felt that I could share every thought or feeling without judgement. About the Iboga itself, it was very profound but also difficult to understand what the medicine was trying to tell me. I was in constant conversation with myself to figure out how to stop and get rid of my anxiety problems and the medicine gave me a hard time. But then the moment came I realized that I was never going to solve it. I felt liberated cause I finally felt a peace in me. I understood that I just had to accept anxiety as an emotion and just let it be instead of always trying not to have it. Now I feel the medicine is still helping me to get back to daily life. I want to thank everyone who was in the retreat to make me feel safe and accepted. I hope that other people can also find the courage to do a iboga journey. lots of love, Lars Also, I almost forgot the food was delicious!

Dear Celine , I want to thank you and the team for providing a wonderful safe haven to do rigorous work on the deepest levels possible during the retreat . This was my 5th iboga retreat and the last 2 with you and the team of volunteers has been amazing . Recovering from addiction and evolving on a high level with iboga to support my evolutions and actions in life has brought me a lot of peace and joy . Things that are not taken for granted in my experience as an addict. The more I connect with Iboga and the group the more it feels like coming home and being oke with myself . I love Iboga and the opportunities that it brings . Deep and profound work on a soul and unconscious level. I thanks you from the bottom from my heart for providing the sacred space , the guidance with the medicine , bringing people together and the love you put into it . Thanks to location for the wonderfull energy and nature we resid in during the retreat . It’s so very supporting all of us . Much love Martin

If you found this website and Celine, then I can reassure you that you have found the perfect place for working with the wood. If you are doing this for the first time, or, have experience already, the way Celine holds her ceremony is not only incredibly well done, held with love and care, but also very professional. This word may sound funny in this context but after all we all would love for things to go smoothly, especially when our world may fall apart for a day or two. The food was delicious, the place Isis Sofia is stunningly beautiful and close to a river. You could feel there is a lot of heart magic at play. Also her team of helpers was very lovely and helpful. I feel every chat I had there was just magically fitting into my journey. If time permits, come a day early and stay a day longer (as recommended), so that you can arrive slowly and give it some time for a walk in nature afterwards. I came back home feeling more myself, with a deeper connection to myself, more chilled, it’s just such a better ride through life now. And Celine has been essential in my journey. Eternal gratitude and so much love for the medicine, Celine and her team. This will be the best thing you have ever decided to do for yourself in your life! Be blessed and courageous. You will be in best hands! Love and peace, Gina.

My experience with the sacred wood through The Origin was beautiful, the setting created by Celine & her team was a true reflection of care & love, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for having been able to join Every single member of the team was kind, helpful & really loving, all of them had this grounding energy, the ceremonies were really hard on my mind, even at the most challenging parts I was able to able to let go and just trust the process as I knew I was safe, I have been shown unconditional love not only by the team but by the participants too which was a breath of fresh air, the wood has stayed with me and continues to show me wisdom and while coming back home has not been easy I am feeling a shift on myself. VB Love, Nadia

Iboga, or more specifically, the way Celine developed these Iboga ceremonies has changed my life. This is not hyperbole. I came into this work feeling lost and tired, but resolved to end the dysfunction that was painfully in the way of my purpose and potential. I came out reinvigorated, with a clear vision of who I actually am and what I’m here to do. I have now partaken in several ceremonies, which has given me my understanding of the trauma which caused so many missed opportunities for connection, flow, health, wealth and harmony. The harmony that I’ve been without and longed for my entire life. This medicine will either shake or hug you, depending on whatever is needed to gain clarity. Sometimes visual, sometimes emotional, very challenging or other times hilariously joyous and relaxing, but always exactly what is needed. Iboga also showed me all the things I’m here to create and offer to the world. The light and humorous approach of the team makes this work safe, funny and beautiful. I’m in complete awe of it. One of the things that have made these ceremonies sacred to me, aside from the incredible connection one gets to experience with source, is how the participants showing up at these ceremonies are essential for the healing process. In our mirroring through the days with each other we heal what needs healing and understand what needs understanding. The group and team function as a spiritual engine of healing, the medicine being the fuel. It’s astounding. Like divine nature itself, the work with the group thrives off of diversity to create a whole. The way Celine has curated the process, the space, the team, the fire and every other element needed for this healing is truly magical. She has also been a most compassionate voice of reason in all of this, making things clear to me even while still in the loud mental noise of this process. I am deeply grateful to be writing this now as a clear and functioning channel to be utilised in service of all things lighthearted, open minded and flowing. To truly know oneself is to love oneself. This is the work. Thank you so, so much.

I’m writing this exactly 8 weeks after the Iboga ceremony, and found its quite true the medicine can be felt continuing its influence during this time. To me a sense of energy being drawn for other processes than usual has been very present with a slow diminishing to current date. The immediate effects during the ceremony days have become much more subtle (fully opened into softness, in awe for the big mystery and tears running, radiating love and feeling cleansed), but if I have to write one down it would be a certain sense of a ‘clean slate’. A curiosity for Iboga’s renown capacity to clean away stored trauma was my main reason to take part, and I must say that it still feels like a divine intervention because I was given just that. I had to purge very long and thoroughly during the first two nights, and on the second night which is themed ‘the dying part’, the difficult feelings of times long ago started to surface. Being present to these feelings was one of the most heavy experiences in my life, but staying aware in the body, eyes open and breathing, created a sort of laundromat in which they could finally be there and recycle. Part of me didn’t know how to handle this, but luckily another part did. The traditional Bwiti music really enhanced the power of the medicine up to a point I was totally desperate for it to finally stop. A very powerful moment during this night was revisiting the womb-like environment in which I got to feel the sheer overwhelm the very very small beginning of me did experience making the transition to this world; simply too much to handle and still very grateful Celine offered me the bodily container to breath trough the intensity. Key parts of contraction in the body opened a lot, like a heart bursting open like a giant burning coal feeding on all the intense feelings and bursting open the chest tissues. And although at present moment I can feel them having had to close a bit just to cope with demands of daily life, it feels very valuable and a healing definitely took place. During the third night I did not take another spoon with the Iboga since it felt like it was enough, and still danced my essence into this world in the rebirth ceremony. Oh and for those of you which are doubting and fearful: I was, big time… not so much when I signed up but during the last week a big existential fear almost took over, a feeling of waiting to be executed in death row… and I’m very grateful I mustered the courage to take this leap into the unknown. With big thanks to Celine who is a beautiful loving and grounded being, her ceremony energy felt very authentic and connected to its African roots, and she offers a lot of attentive loving care which made me feel safe throughout.

I am very grateful and extremely humbled by the work Celine contributes to, both globally and personally. She possesses a lot of knowledge and experience working with these plants and traditions. In addition to the sacred work itself, Celine creates a safe, comfortable and beautiful space for personal healing and growth. The process from first point of contact to the follow up after the retreat is very professional throughout, but also very emphatic, caring and focused so that you feel understood and very well taken care of during the whole process. The surroundings of the work are also wonderful and Celine and her team makes you able to be yourself in whatever form, in a safe environment and their approach to the medicine is profound and with a lot of respect for the plant.

My Iboga retreat with Celine and her team was such a beautiful, meaningful, significant, piece of the healing puzzle for me. After trying many different modalities in search of healing complex PTSD, including other plant medicines, I feel extremely fortunate to have found Celine. I felt welcome from the moment I arrived and completely safe with Celine and her assistants throughout the retreat. It was a heart opening experience that I will always treasure and be grateful for. I loved that such respect is paid to the origin of the wood. The ceremonies felt totally authentic, nothing felt forced or awkward. Thank you and blessings Celine for your seemingly endless energy, and the way you hold space for us. All my best wishes ❤️ Anna

The experience of working with Iboga exceeded my wildest expectations. I am absolutely in love with this teacher plant native to the rainforests of Gabon. In small amounts, it stimulates, sensitizes, gives a lot of energy but also allows you to easily enter a very deep meditation. At higher doses, it induces a state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep, during which sources of mental/physical suffering appear in the form of personalized visions, internal dialogues and premonitions. During the entire duration of this most powerful part of the process (almost 9 hours), you are present, you have access to logical thinking, and even your intelligence is sharpened. There is no room for understatements or incomprehensible symbolism, because Iboga creates the experience based on what it finds in your psyche, so there is no problem in understanding the meaning of what is presented to you in a straightforward way. What I experienced was also like surgery on a living brain – at first very painful and terrifying. I can best describe it as dismembering the psyche, breaking toxic patterns of neural connections, defragmenting the mind. I literally found myself in the cockpit of a spaceship where all the lights were glowing red, the alarm systems were screaming, there was smoke, sparks, and the whole thing was shaking like it was about to fall apart. All hardware was open, cables snaked across the floor, all systems and subsystems underwent thorough inspections, and there were no half-measures. Because the process I worked with had been with me since my early teenage years, it became part of the core of who I became, or rather who I identified with. It appeared in such a multitude of contexts and situations that I couldn’t even find it, it was everywhere – only a careful (and very painful, it must be admitted, although I would do it again without hesitation) dismemberment, detaching everything from each other allowed me to turn to the very essence, to source of disease. And only then could the cleansing begin, which fortunately worked on the principles known to me from the Shipibo ceremony. I was absolutely exhausted, sore, exhausted physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. But I freed myself from something that had been poisoning me for most of my life. And even with conscious conduct, it was a serious blockage on the path to self-realization. Much of the discomfort resulted from the fact that Iboga was clearing my mind, but even more to the point, my brain and individual neurons of impurities brought on by years of substance abuse, alcohol and stress. After this very intense 9-hour journey, there were several more hours of the plant’s effect, but more subtly, with the possibility of insightful, calm integration of experiences, self-care and meditation. The last ceremony was calm, almost without any movements of the mind, pure being, quiet joy, fulfillment, completeness. The whole thing was carried out with careful observance of rituals, dances, songs and extraordinary polyphonic music traditional to Bwiti – a community that has been taking care of Iboga for hundreds of years, and whose mysteries they received from the pygmies. Archaeological evidence shows that they have been using it in secret for at least four millennia. Of course, much more happened, hundreds of insights, self-care for the exiled parts of the psyche and a profound sense of doing something absolutely uplifting and important. It’s impossible to describe, nor would it be appropriate. As for the subjective course of the ceremony, the host and assistants assured me that each time it is a completely different experience which, with the help of Iboga, through your mind, guided by your Higher Intelligence, your Great SELF, creates exactly what is needed at a given moment for healing. I am absolutely enchanted and I hope, Inshallah, that in the near future I will be able to fly to the Heart of Gabon to experience a glimpse of what moved me so much. Basse! 🙏🏻✨ (meaning thank you/I spoke from the heart) ~ Kamil Andrzej Mross (psychotherapist, conscious dance teacher)

My first experience ever with plant medicine. I was driven to this ceremony by a pretty desolate feeling in my life. There were trauma-induced items which I never managed to handle, such as my love-life and my work-life. I have done pretty much of therapy and spiritual work throughout the last decennia’s, and I had to realize that until now I never have managed to find the grounding in my body that is essential for life to arrive on planet earth and to prosper. The work with ‘the wood’ was a strong experience of connection to me. A very soft and gentle process of embodiment started those days which is still going on. Now, three weeks later, I already feel much more present, more quiet and more myself – willing and able to face the challenges that life offers me. Thank you so much! I felt very safe and secure with Celine and her team! There was a lot of attention and caring for us and our inner processes all the time; a great experience of inner work that was carried and supported by the ritual framework of the ceremony, related to the origins of the Iboga-tradition in Gabon. Unforgettable! matthias (Germany)

It has been 2 weeks now since the retreat and I still feel the afterglow of Iboga. An enormous, loving clarity and unprecedented motivation to get things done. It did not fix all my ‘problems’ nor did I expect it to but it does give you a chance to make healthier choices aligning with your highest potential. The ceremony itself was both beautiful and unique. What a blessing it was to be led by the wonderful Celine, her husband Bokaye and the assistants. So powerful to see them together, at times it felt like we were deep in the Gabonese jungle with Bokaye playing his harp and Celine guiding us through our journey. The workings of this sacred plant intrigued me into going for the initiation in Ebando next year. I would also like to express my gratitude to Lavina who took such good care of us and hosts the amazing Isis Sofia rural estate in Dalfsen. Everything was just perfect, it had a seriously magic touch. When considering Iboga I would, from the bottom of my heart, recommend Celine and her warm team. Basha

I have worked with the Holy Wood previously and have also been to Gabon for my Bwiti initiation, and I can wholeheartedly recommend theorigin.nl. Celine has a natural affiliation for working with the wood, and the role of Bwiti mother seems to come very naturally to her. The iboga retreat is planned very well and takes place in a beautiful as well as discreet setting, and the overall environment is very supportive with regards to the deep work that goes on in an iboga ceremony. The live Bwiti music provided by Bokaye on the Mogongo and the Ngombi also make the ceremonies extra special, and I would be very surprised if there is a better provider of iboga ceremonies currently available anywhere else in Europe. Koray

My journey to the Iboga retreat was truly life-changing. I can sincerely say it was a revelation, a journey to finding my true self and forging powerful friendships in an incredibly short span of time. The decision to be guided by this plant medicine was undoubtedly the best choice I have ever made. It has transformed my life in a positive way. My cravings for alcohol, destructive behavior, and self-sabotage have disappeared. Instead, Iboga has led me to a path of peace, calmness, family, true friendship, respect for nature, and the essential things in life. The experience of the ceremony, guided with dedication by Celine’s partner who was present live from Gabon and played the Bwiti instruments, was truly unparalleled and extraordinarily powerful. It added an extra dimension to the whole experience, penetrating even deeper into my soul. The combination of this profound spiritual experience with the healthy, delicious food and the beautiful surroundings of Isis Sofia gave the entire retreat a magical character. It contributed to the overall experience and helped me connect with my inner self in ways I never thought possible. I am deeply grateful for the incredible journey I was able to take during the Iboga retreat in Dalfsen. It has changed my life forever and has given me the strength to embrace my true potential. If you are looking for a transformative experience and a deeper connection with yourself, I highly recommend the Iboga retreat.
