Details of this retreat
Is it time for you to move from the world of sensing to that of knowing, from the visible to the invisible?
O Timoyi! Ikara is a natural medicine hospital & spiritual healing retreat centre in Southern Costa Rica. We have trained with the First Nations People, The Babongo, They are the originators of the BWETE spirituality and the people that shared IBOGA with the other BANTU nations in Gabon and the rest of the world.
The IBOGA Ceremony we offer, through His Majesty King Adumangana, here at Ikara is called “GHIENO A NZIAMBE” which translates as “God’s Mirror”. From God’s mirror you can see and discover aspects of oneself and gain a new understanding of the creation of all
Iboga is a spirit that connect you directly to your soul. Iboga, being a root, takes you inward so that you can learn to live in this physical reality with joy and spontaneity, through a direct connection to your soul. Iboga is not a medicine, it is you, it provides a conduit to your soul and through this connection it can heal all physical, emotional and spiritual maladies. This is because we live in heaven on earth where thoughts create our experience, Iboga shows you this. It is intense but when used in a true traditional context, as taught by the first national people of Gabon, the Babongo, it allows you to heal yourself. It is a powerful tool for spiritual advancement and has applications to all facets of LIFE!
IBOGA´s healing capacities are universal. Become awareness in totality, without separation. Dissolve the illusions which causes dissension in your life. See your Self unite with TETA NZAMBE (God) consciously through a MIOBE IBOGA retreat in Costa Rica.
Ikara proudly represents Mboka A Nzambe (The Universal Village of God) & Le Don de Vie (The Gift of Life Hospital) in the West. We work towards the preservation of traditional Bwete practices and the application of them to the Western mind. ALL proceeds from our retreats go the NGO Ebota A Maghanga in Gabon. Our pricing remains affordable to those in need as we do not personally profit from any retreat.
“Through Brotherly Love,
