Nekawa Ibogaine
About Nekawa Ibogaine
Nekawa is a healing environment that blends clinical safety, immersive nature, psychedelic medicine, and purpose-driven living. Their physician-supervised ibogaine treatment can provide liberation from alcohol and drug addiction, as well as burnout, trauma, and other mental health concerns. From their rustic-chic retreat on Brazil’s Costa Verde coast, clients experience how science, indigenous wisdom, and the natural world come together to provide a second chance at life.
Go Beyond Just Recovering to Rebuilding Life
The Nekawa program is 28 days; longer programs are available for deeper transformation work that can include additional plant medicines. Clients engage in:
- Nature-based detox using sweat cleansing, hydrocolonics, Ayurvedic nutrition, and disconnection from media
- Ibogaine session in a modern hospital for the intensive visionary phase, followed by mental processing and physical recuperation
- Integration focused on rebuilding their lives with practical skills, career clarity, movement, nature, and communal reflection.
Live in Rustic-Chic Luxury
Nekawa welcomes up to 12 clients at a time to their private sanctuary set on 800 acres of preserved Atlantic rainforest. Other than a brief hospital stay for the ibogaine procedure itself, clients stay in private rooms with ensuite bathrooms and dine on nourishing meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The property features a clear-water river and waterfalls, manicured gardens, a spa, and dedicated rest and integration spaces.
Leave with a Clear Plan Forward
Nekawa designs the integration period to help clients make the most of the “Window of Wonder,” the 2 to 12 weeks following an ibogaine experience when neuroplasticity is significantly elevated. During this window, the brain is more capable of forming new patterns, habits are easier to change, and new perspectives can take root faster. Nekawa equips clients with personalized aftercare plans that include action steps, weekly alumni groups, and mentorship.
