Root & Wisdom

Wished I could give Root & Wisdom 10 STARS! ... So, I will lead with BASSE'!! Truth. Troy, Joaly, Maia and the entire team are such a blessing. I have feared this medicine for the past 8 years and have experienced other sacred plant medicines, however, only 10 days before the retreat I spoke with Troy... and I was convinced that fear I had was an illusion I created. The amount of Love, Caring for our Safety and being "of service" was their Priority for me and our small group. The shift and transformation of understanding that my Mind is Not Me is now complete. I know I AM Whole. This was huge for me. Troy is a blessing & gift beyond words to humanity, as is his wife Joaly and their beautiful daughter of 4 months, not to mention Blue with all 150 pounds of this Rhodesian Ridgeback pup supporting my spiritual journey... and of course, Iboga.
I TRUST THEM WITH MY LIFE.I left healthier, younger and a better human. BASSE!

I took my family to Root and Wisdom and the care and attention that Troy, Jo and Maia provided far exceeded any expectation. I have been to other plant medicine retreats and nothing compares to what I experienced in my 8 days here. If you are thinking about alternative methods to addiction, anxiety/depression and even neurodegenerative disease look no further. The kitchen staff and service staff were so focused on our experience you forget they are working for you. I am so happy to say I was apart of Root and Wisdom and it is a place I will return.

I had an amazing experience during my time at Root and Wisdom. Troy is super knowledgeable and the staff made you feel like family. Do it!

Root and Wisdom was amazing in so many ways. The facilitators are available and care deeply about each and every person. They save space for whatever time you need to talk or work through something. They are always available.
Each person goes for their own reason and at my retreat each person was heard and cared for.
I was a bit skeptical before I arrived and by the time I left I could not believe how much love and selflessness was provided.
Whether you are going to Root and Wisdom for medical, spiritual, trauma or addiction, there is help there.
Highly highly highly recommended.

Attending this retreat with Root and Wisdom was one of the most profound and life-affirming experiences I’ve ever had. As someone stepping into plant medicine for the first time, I couldn’t have imagined a more supportive, intentional, and sacred environment.

Jo and Troy are remarkable stewards of the medicine—walking with deep integrity, humility, and respect for the ancestral lineage of Iboga. Their leadership is rooted in love, truth, and a genuine commitment to each participant’s healing journey. Sitting with this powerful medicine in their care was a true honor.

The space they cultivate—especially within a BIPOC-centered container—was nurtured with reverence, cultural sensitivity, and spiritual depth. Every aspect of the retreat was thoughtfully designed and held with love, creating a safe, grounded container where I could be vulnerable. The jungle setting was absolutely breathtaking, enhancing the connection to self, nature, and spirit in the most intimate way.

The support team—Maia, Brayan, and Zaida—were equally incredible, offering gentle presence, wisdom, and care that made me feel truly seen and supported throughout the entire process. Blue 🐶 and Baby Zoraya presence added a beautiful layer of peace and comfort throughout the experience—their energy was unexpectedly therapeutic.

If you are feeling called to work with Iboga, I wholeheartedly recommend Root and Wisdom. You will be held with compassion, guided with integrity, and transformed in ways that ripple far beyond the retreat itself. - Basse
