FROM OUR SPONSORS

In the Bwiti tradition, there’s only one person who can answer your most sacred questions.

You.

Yup, the secrets to true happiness and visionary creativity are already within you. Iboga, the Gabonese plant medicine, just reveals them.

At SoulCentro, you can experience iboga just as the Bwiti intended. Each ceremony is led by an initiated healer, blessed by elders, and sealed with a customary spiritual shower.

If you’re ready to connect with your inner knowing, there’s a unique plant spirit ready to make the intro.

Meet iboga in Costa Rica.
