Best Facilitators out of 30+ Ceremonies

Troy and Joaly at Root and Wisdom have created the most Safe, Respectful, Thoughtful and Peaceful container I have ever experience. My 1st experience with them in May 2025 and it will not be my last. I am completely in awe of the Pre and Post Integration and I have so much gratitude for their ability to bring in amazing support guides. The support people are a reflection of the facilitators and their ability to communicate and embody their values and it shows in everything they do, which is always in service of my / our journey.

Life Changing

Attending a retreat with Root and Wisdom was truly a life-changing experience. From beginning to end, everything was thoughtfully and seamlessly organized, creating a safe and deeply supportive space for growth, healing, and transformation.

The caliber of the facilitators was absolutely exceptional. Each one brought profound wisdom, compassion, and presence — their collective knowledge and care were felt in every moment. What stood out most to me was their unwavering support. I felt genuinely seen, heard, and held throughout the entire journey.

A heartfelt thank you to Troy, Joaly, Nicole, Jediah-X, Mountain, and Jacob — your guidance, care, and authenticity created an environment where true transformation was possible.

Root and Wisdom is doing truly powerful work, and I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. If you feel called, go — it just might change your life.

Grounded with Clarity

My experience with Root and Wisdom was profound and direct. It helped solidify what direction I need to take my life. Troy and the staff were attentive and held space in a way that was grounding and affirming. I feel grounded in my power and have an incredible sense of clarity with this next chapter in my life.

I tapped into my grandmother's spirit and she is now guiding me to live a powerful life of love and abundance.

Iboga with Root & Wisdom... a blessing being words!

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!

Could not recommend more emphatically

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.
