Our practitioners have undergone rigorous, authentic training direct from the source, with Nima Moughenda Mikala, a 10th-generation shaman recognized as the foremost authority for initiating Westerners into the Bwiti tradition. With over 30 years' experience and thousands of initiates, Moughenda passes on age-old ancestral knowledge.
Each certified practitioner has completed the intensive “Iboga Provider Training Level 1” program in the heart of Gabon's equatorial jungle, comprising 8 weeks' training and 4 weeks' internship. This complete cultural immersion has prepared them to conduct transformative ceremonies while respecting the integrity of Bwiti Missoko traditions.
Only 50 people worldwide have been trained by Moughenda, from the four corners of the globe. Each year, only between 5 and 10 people receive this training before opening their own centers. This rarity guarantees the authenticity and quality of our practices.
Some of our practitioners have also undergone Iboga Provider Level 2 training, specializing in detoxification protocols for alcohol and drugs, with a proven methodology that has transformed countless lives.

An iboga retreat typically lasts 5 to 9 days and is often limited to a small group of 4 to 5 participants, guaranteeing a personal and attentive experience. The aim is to offer you a setting where you feel fully accompanied and listened to.
Arrival day
You are welcomed in the afternoon with a light meal and a comfortable space to rest after your journey. An evening meeting allows you to get to know the others and clarify your expectations.
First ceremony day
This day is dedicated to your preparation: discussions with the group and a privileged moment with your guide to define your intentions. After a meal together, a fast begins in the afternoon, followed by an iboga ceremony in the evening, which continues into the night to explore your inner self.
Day after the ceremony
After an intense night, you take time out to rest in a quiet space. This is a time to integrate what you've experienced, with the team on hand to exchange ideas if you feel the need.
Rest and purification day
A gentler day to recover your strength and prepare for what's to come. Some centers offer a purification ceremony, often inspired by African traditions, using plants to renew your energy.
Day of the second ceremony
You deepen your journey with another evening ceremony, preceded by a discussion with your guide to fine-tune your objectives. This stage is designed to reinforce your awareness.
Reflection day
As after the first ceremony, you spend the day resting and assimilating the teachings of iboga, with discreet but present accompaniment.
Integration day
A day to take stock of your experience, often with guided discussions on how to transpose these discoveries into your daily life, so that you leave with a clear vision.
Departure day
You conclude with a convivial moment, such as a shared breakfast, before leaving the center, ready to embrace your new dynamic.
You stay in peaceful surroundings, often surrounded by nature, with pleasant accommodation and attentive monitoring throughout the process.
Each center adjusts this setting - some enrich the program with complementary activities or modify the stages. To find out more about a retreat in Portugal, please contact us.
