FAQs

On a five-acre sanctuary on Salt Spring Island, Rooted Waters welcomes people seeking spiritual growth through traditional Iboga root-bark ceremonies. The five-day retreats draw on West African Bwete teachings and explore Iboga's proposed role in addiction recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They keep their ceremonies intimate, bringing small groups together for spiritual exploration through prayer, song, and ritual.

Navigate Preparation Through Integration

Rooted Waters’ approach follows three stages: Severance, Threshold, and Return. It begins with an intake process to understand each participant's needs before guiding them through ceremonies that incorporate prayer, song, and ritual. Afterward, they use creative activities, bodywork, and reflection to help guests explore their experiences. These practices continue through follow-up sessions in the weeks after the retreat.

Reconnect Within Natural Surroundings

At Wakyanii Sanctuary, their farmhouse ceremony room sits among cedar trees, thriving plants, and a spring-fed pond. Guests can explore the grounds for quiet reflection or enjoy the cedar sauna when the team heats it during retreat weekends. Their five-day program also includes organic meals and one bodywork session, while private group ceremonies offer another way to experience their approach.
