Ibogamedicine Omdömen 57

Words cannot truly explain the incredible journey and deep healing I’ve experienced through iboga medicine. I’ve had the privilege of being treated by Rupi and Steven a couple of times, and each experience has been profoundly transformative. Their care, wisdom, and genuine compassion created a space where I felt completely safe, supported, and seen.

Every journey has brought powerful healing, clarity, and a deeper connection to myself. I’ve also learned that the medicine opens the door — but it’s up to me to do my own work on a daily basis to truly integrate the lessons. If you are considering an iboga journey or retreat, I wholeheartedly recommend them. It’s an experience that will stay with you forever.

Rupi and Steven are heartwarming, loving people that deeply care. What they do can not be repaid in money. They are altruistic servants to a higher cause, they create a space that is saturated with positive energy and give everything to get the work done. Incredible healing. We are blessed to have people like that.

Rupi and Steven are special people. They made us feel like family from the first moment on. I felt safe in their hands throughout the retreat.
The retreat itself was conducted in a careful and safe way. Steven is an expert and has 13 years of experience. He is the one who brought Iboga to Europe and has facilitated countless times.
I would choose Rupi and Steven every time. Their care and compassion is unparalleled.
If you consider working with Iboga, then Ibogamedicine.com is the place to go. And the setting in Portugal close to the Atlantic and near the airport is just wonderful.
Thank you Rupi and Steven 🙏

I had the privilege of participating in an Iboga retreat with Rupi and Steven, and it was one of the most powerful experiences of my life.

Rupi is truly extraordinary — her intuition, compassion and grounded presence created a space of profound safety and healing. She guided me with such care and wisdom that I felt completely supported throughout the process. Steven is equally gifted in his work — his calm energy, deep understanding of the medicine and ability to hold space were essential to my experience. Together, they created an environment that felt sacred, nurturing, and transformative.

If you are considering working with Iboga and are seeking authentic, heart-centred guidance, I cannot recommend Rupi and Steven highly enough. It was a life-changing experience that continues to bring clarity and healing into my life.

Rupi and Steven offered the best possible setting for receiving Iboga. Their reassuring presence and experience made a significant impact on the experience I had with Iboga. I highly recommend the retreat they offer to anyone wishing to experience this unique entheogen

From day one, I felt I was in good hands, with knowledgeable and capable people, who in their work profoundly nurture and care for one”s body and spirit, while doing their important work with deep respect and open caring compassionate heart energy.

This was my second Iboga retreat with Rupi and Steven, and I can honestly say I’m feeling more alive than ever. This medicine is not just a remedy; it’s a life-changing experience that transforms you at your core. Words can hardly capture the profound impact it has had on my life.

I've navigated through some incredibly challenging moments—sexual trauma, narcissistic abuse, and childhood complications—that left me feeling unrecognizable and drained. I’m sharing my story because it’s crucial to spread awareness about how this powerful medicine knows exactly where to heal the wounds that cry out for help.

Choosing the right providers is essential. Rupi and Steven embody experience, compassion, and genuine care. From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by a loving family. They will forever hold a special place in my heart as brothers, and I am deeply grateful for the abundance of love they offer. 🙏🏼🤍

I’ve been on an extraordinary journey of transformation and am already planning my third Iboga ceremony to continue this path. Each experience has helped to mend a different part of my soul that needed healing.

I wholeheartedly recommend this transformative and nurturing space. Thank you, Rupi and Steven, for everything! ❤️

I have done Iboga many years ago, but this time was completely different. Iboga has been, by far, the strongest breakthrough for trauma, mental loops, and limitations that I have ever experienced (and I have done a lot in this lifetime). The medicine itself is incredibly powerful, but what made this retreat unique was having Rupi and Steven holding the space and guiding the whole integration.

Their presence was immeasurable — they are real people who have truly walked the path, carrying a wisdom that goes far beyond their humble way of being. My gratitude is beyond words and it’s a wholehearted yes to anyone who’s at a point in their
life where you truly want transformation.

After three Retreats with Steven and Rupi I found them to practice their craft with humble expertise and professionalism beyond my expectations. Not only are the ceremonies conducted according to Traditional Iboga principles, they are a team who manifests the Male and Female Shamanic Energies in commendable harmony.
Below follows the background and retreat experiences / observations upon which I base my confident recommendation to anyone who may consider to in them in ceremony.
I found the Iboga medicine to demand more resilience, endurance, respect and commitment than other Plant medicines. The ceremonies were often twice as long as with other Psychedelics. Some participants required a further 12 to 24 hours to integrate.
Compared to around 38 Psychedelic retreats and ceremonies with other plant medicines, I believe Iboga is the one Psychedelic that requires a Shaman who:
1) Has been trained by the Authentic Tribal Custodians in Africa over an extended period.
2) Has the strength of heightened Consciousness Awareness to Serve Iboga, Hold space for extended hours, Support participants before, during and after the Ceremonies with Wisdom, Insight and Understanding of the many human conditions which prompts people to enroll in the retreats.
3) Has the Calm Confidence of Experience to provide all of the Guidance and Support required for participants to achieve their objectives.

Steven and Rupi project all of these qualities and more.

I found Rupi and Steven through friends of mine who had sat for a ceremony with them and highly recommended them. We are all experienced medicine takers so I trusted them completely and I was right to do so.

I spoke to Rupi and a couple of months later I was in their gorgeous home in Sintra. Their kitchen is a special place to sit, watch amazing food being cooked for you, and just stare our the window into the lush vegetation and cats and critters.

These two have a respect for the Bwiti tradition and the medicine on a level that is beautiful and, frankly, what I expect from my shamans in any tradition. As it should. Steven has been doing this for about 13 years and Rupi is coming up on 5 so they have seen a lot of folks through a lot of ceremonies. They are experienced, warm, kind, knowledgeable, wise and deeply connected to the plant and the Bwiti tribe and their leader.

I felt warm, safe and welcome from the minute I stepped onto the property and held throughout the experience. I have sat with other medicine and this one, for me, was powerful and magical. I would not fear it. It will do with you what you need.

I walked away with what I sought. It was thrilling. But the mind... it comes back. It’s a journey and always more deep work to be done. I will 100% be back to the plant soon and to Rupi and Steven as soon as I can make it from California.

If you are called to the plant, I can't think of a better place to come try it. They are masters and I highly recommend that you allow them to facilitate you through this most uniquely deep experience.

If you are planning to work with the sacred Iboga plant medicine you need properly trained people immersed in the Bwiti tradition. Rupi and Steven meet this criteria in spades. They love their work and the medicine and hold space in a beautiful, safe, and respectful way. They are also fun and very playful. This is a serious medicine for serious healing but they also make it an enjoyable experience.
They deserve the highest recommendation with all my gratitude.

Six months after I started looking for an Iboga retreat I found Iboga Medicine in what turned out to be beautiful Sintra in Portugal. After talking to Rupi on the phone I knew I found the right place. Rupi and Steven are a lovely couple and both very capable healers. They knew exactly the right things to say during the second ceremony, which was very rough at a certain point. Both spiritual and down to earth at the same time, which, for me, is a perfect combination.

The ceremony itself was an absolutely amazing experience. Like I said, rough, but above all amazing. Experiencing a deep love for yourself truly is a blessing!

Rupi and Steven, more than anything else made the experience special and so effective. Their deep respect for the Bwiti traditions and their ability to put it in a context relevant to me was amazing and critical for the positive outcome. I have complete trust in this amazing couple.

Rupy and Stewen, what can I say?
The changes in my life have been so dramatic it's unbelievable. I never would have believed before that there would be such a big change in my situation. From feeling miserable and seeing only blackness and being full of hopelessness to a feeling I thought I would never experience. My heart is full of joy, love and happiness. My health is the opposite of what it was before I met you two and this miracle medicine called Iboga.
I just say: Thank you for everything and God bless you

Two years ago, I had the profound privilege of experiencing Iboga with Steven and Rupi, and the impact of that experience continues to echo through my life in ways I could never have imagined. The depth of care, expertise, and integrity they bring to their work is truly exceptional.

From the moment I arrived, I felt completely supported and seen. Steven and Rupi are masters in creating a safe, sacred space where the power of Iboga can work its transformative magic. Their guidance was unwavering, and their dedication to delivering the true promise of Iboga was palpable in every interaction.

Two years on, the effects have only deepened. I now walk through life with a profound sense of clarity, trust, and inner peace. My mind is firmly under control, and I’ve reconnected with my soul in ways that have fundamentally changed who I am and how I navigate the world.

If you’re considering this journey, know that you are in the best hands with Steven and Rupi. They are the real deal — genuine, skilled, and deeply compassionate guides who walk the path with you every step of the way.

Forever grateful.

I attended the Iboga retreat with Rupi and Steven for the second time. This time, it was in a new, beautiful location – a stunning house with feng shui principles, surrounded by a lush green garden. The space was cozy, the rooms were warm and welcoming, and the ocean was just a short walk away – a place I could visit anytime to reconnect with nature.
Throughout the week, Rupi and Steven cared for me with genuine love, respect, and deep interest in my story. They shared their home with me, cooked delicious meals, and provided exactly what they promise – intimate and magically profound healing.
They are incredibly trustworthy providers who share Bwiti wisdom and teachings not only during ceremonies but throughout the whole week. They were there for me whenever I needed them – and also knew exactly when to step back and allow the medicine and my soul to do their work.
Everything aligned perfectly. I felt welcomed, safe, and open to everything the medicine had for me and – especially because I had these two exceptional providers by my side.
It was one of the best week weeks in my life.
My love remains with the medicine, this place, and with Steven and Rupi forever.

IF you’re drawn to work with this medicine, this is a good place to do it, and good people to guide and serve.

Since experiencing trauma in my early twenties and being very down and disconnected from myself, I have tried many things to heal. Iboga has been the most sucessful and healing experiences I have tried. Iboga and being led by Rupi and Steven has given me the biggest gift, feeling whole and connected to myself. I know truly feel that all solutions are within. Being guided by Rupi and Steven, I always felt safe and informed. They are so experienced, wise and kind in everything that they do. Iboga is such a healing medicine.

Rupi & Steven provide the most incredible service and guidance for those of us who want to heal and become our true selves. They help you on your journey with great knowledge and experience to let your personal story come into focus as you do the work.

It was an important step for me to visit their retreat. With the insights and deep knowing i bring home with me, I feel empowered to make lots of great decisions for myself in the future.

I ended up staying an additional 4 days to get the pre initiation and enjoy some more of r&s’ cooking.
The pre initiation was something else! A deep connection to myself like I have never experienced before. Highly recommend!

Thank you Rupi & Steven for the work that you do

My experience working with Iboga in the hands of Steven and Rupi has been an absolute life changing experience.
Through their facilitation, I was able to work through my traumas, identify my pain and most importantly, heal myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I am now able to live my life pain free with ease, joy and peacefulness like I’ve never known. My love for this beautiful medicine has developed and deepened over time just as my love for myself has.
Iboga saved me.
Thank you Rupi and Steven for your continued dedication to this work, you make this world a better place!
