Created in response to strong demand from our client community, this experience was developed as a deeper, more sustainable aftercare option and as a complement to ibogaine treatment packages. We are pleased to offer the Faith Retreats™ experience for those seeking meaningful support beyond the initial treatment phase.

Designed for people exploring addiction recovery, PTSD, depression, or psycho-spiritual growth, this 5-day/4-night retreat brings together plant- and animal-based medicine ceremonies with modern holistic therapies. Held in the same peaceful, luxurious setting as Tabula Rasa Retreat, it offers an ideal space for reflection, emotional release, and personal development, helping you move your healing journey forward.

The plant medicines we work with

Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca is a powerful Amazonian brew that has been used for centuries by indigenous tribes for spiritual and therapeutic purposes. It supports deep introspection and may bring buried emotions and unresolved trauma to the surface. When guided by experienced practitioners, ayahuasca ceremonies can encourage emotional release and insight, helping participants work through challenges such as depression, addiction, and PTSD.

Kambo

Derived from the secretion of the Amazonian Phyllomedusa bicolor frog, Kambo offers a distinctive detox experience. Applied to the skin, its bioactive compounds stimulate the immune system and support physical and emotional renewal. Its purgative effects may bring clarity and relief from chronic fatigue, anxiety, and emotional stagnation.

5-MeO-DMT (Bufo Alvarius Toad)

Extracted from the secretions of the Bufo Alvarius toad, 5-MeO-DMT is a powerful psychoactive substance known for producing brief yet profound mystical experiences. It can support spiritual awakening and emotional healing by helping participants process deep-seated trauma and access new perspectives.

Psilocybin

Psilocybin, the active compound in “magic mushrooms,” is increasingly recognized for its therapeutic potential. By supporting neuroplasticity, it can encourage emotional release and help reframe negative thought patterns. Research has shown promise for depression, anxiety, and addiction in guided therapeutic settings.

Holistic therapies to deepen the experience

This retreat combines plant medicine with complementary practices to create a well-rounded healing journey:

Cold Exposure Therapy: Guided through the Wim Hof Method, participants combine cold exposure and breathwork to reconnect with their natural resilience.
Holotropic Breathwork: This conscious breathing practice can create altered states of consciousness without psychoactive substances, supporting trauma release and emotional processing.
Meditation and Emotional Processing: Learn to meet emotions with compassion, expand your stress resilience window, and move toward greater harmony with your authentic self.

Your journey beyond Faith Retreats™

Joining a Faith Retreats™ programme is a courageous and meaningful step toward greater self-awareness and healing. You will not become a different person overnight, but you may leave with a clearer understanding of conditioned patterns, release emotional blockages and limiting beliefs, and gain tools to continue toward a more integrated, authentic life.

Our intention is to help you identify the areas of life that need attention and offer a roadmap for ongoing self-discovery. By combining plant medicine ceremonies with practical tools and holistic therapies, we support you in taking your next steps with confidence.
