Below is a list of commonly reported benefits that people can experience after a retreat. ​

​

• A more clear and quiet mind

• Improved sense of intuition and discernment 

• Deeper and more honest understanding of oneself and the source of one's suffering and happiness. Many people say it becomes easier to follow their inner guidance and make life decisions that once felt complicated and difficult

It should be noted that every person is unique. The above mentioned benefits will vary significantly from person to person. As a healing modality gets deeper (closer to the root source of suffering) the potential healing results can become increasingly non-linear and thus unpredictable. For example, if you have a superficial issue such as an infected scratch, a bit of topical neosporin will likely resolve the problem but it's unlikely that anything more profound will take place. On the other hand, if you took an anti-microbial herb complex that kills pathogens on a systemic level, you'd likely heal the infection in the scratch but also notice a host of other benefits such as increased energy, better digestion, improved sleep and reduced sugar cravings just to name a few. This is because the entire body's ecosystem was influenced by the treatment. In short, it was a deeper, higher order treatment so the benefits are more unpredictable and wide reaching.

​

This example of the infection only applies to the physical dimension which is the most surface level. Iboga works on all levels; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual (the deepest). So you can start to understand the depth and thus potential wide reaching healing outcomes that are possible. Simply changing one spiritual axiom within yourself can have profound and permanent reverberations throughout the rest of your life. This can give deeper meaning to all aspects of your life and make all experiences, whether painful or joyous, opportunities for growth and a deepening of self-love. That one deep shift then impacts a myriad of "symptoms" that many people give as their reason for working with Iboga. These symptoms could include insomnia, anxiety, depression, lack of purpose, confusion in relationship, self-sabotage and so on. With one deep spiritual shift, all of these forms of suffering can be diminished and in some cases resolved completely.
