About Tabula Rasa Retreat
Tabula Rasa Retreat has rapidly positioned itself as a premier European ibogaine clinic. Located in the Alentejan region of Portugal, its clientele is mainly from the United Kingdom, Northern Europe, UAE and the USA. All treatments undergo medical vetting and are medically monitored and supervised by ACLS trained medical staff.
While not a magic cure, Ibogaine can interrupt addictions and offer a pain-free withdrawal from opiates. To support ibogaine treatments, expect holistic therapies such as breathwork, bodywork, massage, meditation, kundalini yoga, reiki, gong baths, drumming circles, equine assisted therapy, personal training and nutrition advice. This is further supported by 1:1 counselling and group therapy by their in-house counsellors. In addition, online aftercare meetings are offered for life.

How is Ibogaine effective as an addiction interrupter?
“It’s been said that ibogaine is akin to receiving 10 years of psychotherapy in one night. It's particularly effective because you become your own psychotherapist. With the pre-therapies and after-therapies we do, our clients are much more receptive to receiving counseling, one-to-one therapies, and counseling in group.” - Álvaro de Ferranti, Founder
