The REturn
A MEN’S INITIATION INTO PERSONA AUTHORITY
May 5 - 12 2026
Cape Town, South Africa
$4,5000
This is an initiation. An opportunity to remember, understand, and gain absolute awareness of how you show up in your body, your relationships, your purpose, and the world. This initiation is built to dissolve identities that were inherited, conditioned, or armored for survival, and to restore the one that is true.
This is not for the faint of heart.
It is for those ready to be fully honest with oneself.
Through sacred medicine ceremony, guided movement, breath work, deep inquiry, intentional rest and rigorous integration, you will meet the nature of your being without distraction, bypass, or performance.
WHAT THIS IS
At the core of this retreat is a four-day ceremonial initiation rooted in Kambo and Iboga, undertaken in the land where this work originates. The ceremonies take place in Africa because Iboga is indigenous to this region. It is a medicine born of this soil, these ecosystems, and this lineage. Receiving Iboga in its motherland offers a depth of relationship with the medicine that is not available elsewhere.
Place shapes practice. Lineage shapes transmission. Being served Iboga here allows the medicine to be engaged within its original cultural, environmental, and ceremonial context, a level of integrity not available in the United States.
This work is guided by a shaman with over twenty years of experience, formally initiated into the Bwiti lineage and directly connected to its living tradition. What is offered is not an adaptation, but a direct engagement with the medicine in the context that formed it.
Kambo leads the initiation.
Kambo is a medicine of the body, the nervous system, and the will. It works through purification and fortification, clearing stagnation, strengthening resilience, and sharpening resolve. Kambo does not analyze or interpret. It prepares. By cleansing the physical and energetic body, it creates the internal conditions required to meet deep insight with stability and presence. The system becomes cleaner, more alert, and more honest.
Iboga follows as the medicine of truth and remembrance.
Iboga is known for its capacity to bring clear, uncompromising awareness to one’s life, revealing patterns, choices, and inner structures with precision. It does not sedate, distract, or bypass. It illuminates. Iboga anchors consciousness fully into the body and into this lifetime, bringing what has been forgotten, fragmented, or deferred into direct awareness so it can be faced and integrated responsibly.
Together, Kambo and Iboga form a complete initiation.
Kambo strengthens the body and nervous system to hold what is revealed.
Iboga shows you who you are and what must be met.
This sequence is intentional. One prepares the vessel. The other restores truth.
