Iboga is a sacred plant medicine from the rainforests of Central West Africa, used for millennia by the Bwiti people of Gabon as a sacrament of initiation and healing. Its primary psychoactive alkaloid, Ibogaine, has been studied for decades as a profound interrupter of addiction, a deep trauma processor, and a catalyser of neurological renewal. It is unlike any other substance on Earth.

The 18–30-hour Ibogaine experience provides access to deep biographical memory, unresolved trauma, and unconscious patterns with extraordinary clarity and compassion. Participants often describe meeting themselves — truly — for the first time. It is a full life review and reset.

Every participant undergoes full medical screening: 12-lead EKG, comprehensive blood panel, liver function, electrolytes (Mg, K, Ca), and full medication review. Heart rate and well-being are monitored throughout. Our titration-based protocol is designed to be inherently safe, and clear emergency protocols are in place. Safety is our first medicine.

Every retreat is fully bespoke, personally held, and conducted with the same depth of care, regardless of duration. All prices are in Euro and exclude lodging and food unless noted. See lodging section below for full details.

If this work resonates with you and you wish to support others who cannot afford treatment, donations are warmly welcomed. Every contribution goes directly toward making iboga healing available to those who need it most. Please contact us to learn how you can help.

Excluding lodging, travel, and food costs. UNLESS in Chiang Mai (see below)

For individuals in the grip of serious addiction, we often recommend two complete 7-day retreats conducted back-to-back. This is our most powerful and complete offering.

Retreat One — Detox & Cleansing: The first retreat is dedicated entirely to physical and neurological detoxification — clearing the body of substances, interrupting physical dependence, and creating a clean physiological foundation.

Retreat Two — Rewiring & Rebirth: The second retreat goes deeper — into the psychological roots of addiction, the rewiring of ingrained patterns, the construction of a new identity, and the beginning of a genuinely new life.

The additional 2,000 usd surcharge reflects the exceptional intensity this program places on our team. The double retreat requires our full engagement for an extended period, after which team members require meaningful recovery time before being able to work again. This reality is factored honestly into our pricing.

Our retreat pricing structure is transparent. Where you choose to hold your retreat determines what additional costs apply.

We can bring our full team to your preferred location anywhere in the world. When hosting a retreat outside of Chiang Mai, the participant or organizing company is responsible for covering:

— All team travel expenses (flights, visas, ground transport)
— Full hotel/lodging costs for the entire team
— All meals and food costs for the team throughout the retreat
— Any venue hire or operational costs

All team costs covered by participant / host organization

The case for doing your iboga retreat in one of Southeast Asia's most beloved cities.

When people begin researching iboga retreats, they typically focus on the medicine, the facilitators, and the protocol. What they often overlook, until they are deep in the research, is that where you do this work matters enormously.

The setting of an iboga retreat is not a backdrop. It is a living part of the experience. The environment you recover in, the ease or difficulty of getting there, the quality and cost of your accommodation, the access to medical care, these practical realities shape how safe, how supported, and how spacious the entire journey feels.

We chose Chiang Mai as our home base deliberately. Here is why we believe it is one of the best places in the world to do this work.

Iboga is a powerful medicine that demands medical seriousness. Chiang Mai is home to several internationally accredited hospitals, including Chiang Mai Ram Hospital, McCormick Hospital, and Bangkok Hospital Chiang Mai, with facilities and specialists on par with major Western cities, and at a fraction of the cost.

Pre-treatment screening, EKG, full blood panel, liver function, electrolyte panel, can be completed quickly, professionally, and affordably here.

You are not going to the jungle. You are going to a city with excellent healthcare, in a country where medical tourism is a well-developed, respected industry.

Recovery after an iboga treatment is not passive. It requires gentleness, nourishment, beauty, and time. Chiang Mai offers all of this in abundance.

• Hundreds of world-class wellness spas, traditional Thai massage studios, and holistic healing centres within easy reach
• Some of the best plant-based and nourishing food in Southeast Asia, markets, organic cafés, and restaurants that understand healing through food
• Lush jungle surrounds, mountain air, and the Ping River running through the city, a natural environment that genuinely supports nervous system recovery
• A pace of life that is slow, gentle, and forgiving, a city that does not demand urgency from you
• A deeply spiritual culture, with hundreds of ancient temples, a visible Buddhist practice mentality with the thai people in daily life

The weeks after iboga are some of the most tender and important of the entire process. Being somewhere that nourishes you, rather than depletes you, makes a real difference to what you integrate and carry home.

Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) activate the body's natural tremoring mechanism to discharge deeply held stress, tension, and traumatic residue stored in the muscles and nervous system.

Thorough pre-retreat preparation ensures participants arrive ready — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Post-retreat integration support (included in 5 and 7-day packages) ensures the medicine's gifts are anchored into lasting change.

Thiamine B1 (critical for alcohol history), full B-complex, methylated B12, omega-3 fish oil (2–4g EPA+DHA), vitamin D3+K2, zinc, methylfolate. Addiction depletes these systematically — rebuilding creates the neurological foundation for the ibogaine experience.

L-tyrosine (dopamine), DLPA (endorphins), L-tryptophan (serotonin — stopped 2 weeks before ibogaine). Addiction strips the brain of its neurotransmitter raw materials. Restoring these allows the brain to begin producing dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins again before treatment begins.

Post-retreat online sessions (included in 5 & 7-day packages). Ongoing support. New life architecture.

Max is the founder of Entheos Retreats and the visionary at the heart of everything we do. He is a trauma resolution therapist and coach, somatic movement teacher, and a longtime psychedelic guide with deep roots in both the Amazon and in modern clinical therapeutic models.

Having spent many years training in the Amazon and apprenticing within indigenous plant medicine traditions, Max brings a rare combination of ceremonial wisdom and therapeutic precision to his work.

David is a specialist in addiction and ADHD, working with both teenagers and adults as well as with parents navigating the challenges of raising children with ADHD. His approach recognises what clinical work often misses — that addiction and attention dysregulation are frequently two expressions of the same underlying pain.

With over a decade of personal and professional experience with psychedelics and several years of dedicated plant medicine work, David brings both intellectual depth and lived understanding to the retreat space. He is particularly gifted at holding the complexity of addiction with unflinching compassion — meeting clients not in their diagnosis, but in their full humanity.

Marbella is a founding member of Entheos Retreats and one of its most beloved presences. As a women's coach, energy healer, and guide in tantra and sacred relationship, she brings a quality of warmth and embodied wisdom that creates profound safety, particularly for women doing the deep work that medicine retreats invite.

Her years of experience with plant medicine are woven through everything she offers a deep reverence for what becomes possible when we soften into ourselves. Outside the retreat space, Marbella is an artist and musician, and dedicates much of her heart to fostering and caring for animals. Her presence in the team is a living reminder that healing is not only a therapeutic process — it is, at its core, an act of love.

We accept only a small number of participants each year. Each retreat is deeply personal and demands our full attention and energy. If you are considering this work, we invite you to reach out and begin a conversation. The medicine will know if the time is right.
