About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Enter the realms of your Creative Heart.

Journey to the depths of your Primordial Soul,

And re-discover the vibrant wisdom of your Rooted Waters.

________________________________

In community everything is heightened and one's wound and purpose becomes a communal Gift. We notice that our inner worlds are not so different from each other and this brings us closer allowing for a rich life of relationships.

​Our Community Iboga Ceremonies offer a unique opportunity to embrace our wounds, traumas, patterns and transform them into the artful expressions of our Souls. As we dive individually into ourselves, we emerge within the circle and find deep integration together.

Iboga offers guidance to explore one's karmic construct, understanding all of that which creates who we are. At Rooted Waters, Integration is the most important part of any ceremony - truly integration is the key process which allows the medicine of Life's events to land and be fully embraced by our whole Selves.

The ceremonies are infused with Prayer, Song, Music and Silence. The fire is the Heart of the circle and it is from it that we will expand and retract, like the Honeybees of a hive. These group medicine ceremonies bring in different practices and explorations that are powerful tools to allow a seamless continuation of your Healing.

All communal Iboga Ceremonies include 2 group integration calls as well as access to free counselors/therapists

We humbly offer deep gratitude to the Ancestors who guide us upon our Journey, knowing full well that we are vessels for them to act upon this world. It is through the reconciliation between The Ancestors and people, between Flesh and Spirit, that we can walk together into a Radiant world.

​_____________________________

Our medicine comes from sustainable sources very specifically chosen and a % of all ceremonies is given to different organizations which support Indigenous programs in Canada, Africa and South America as well as supporting Shelters and Addiction recovery non-for-profits.

“Feeling so good emotionally and physically, Iboga is transformative.
It is not only a power booster to spiritual awakening but a gift of rejuvenation and wellbeing.
Dimitri’s care and love is tangible. I felt comfortable and tended to, as soon as I arrived."
- Martey, Canada

"Integrity, understanding and compassion are what stood out during my time with Dimitri. He is deeply aware of the responsibilities involved and guides each person strength and groundedness. He is a fine example of the "father" and takes care of everyone with immense presence and grace. Surrender to the medicine and put your faith in Dimitri. You will not be let down."
- Daryn, USA

I found Rooted Waters on a curious search on the internet and spent quite some time going through their website on and off again. I knew it was something special so I didn't hesitate to reach out to learn more. My initial call with Dimitri left me excited to pursue a journey with them alongside Iboga. The weekend retreat was incredibly special and I felt so safe, secure, and connected to the entire experience. Both Coco and Dimitri create a unique container and a connection I haven't experienced in a very long time, I didn't want to leave. I know this is just the beginning of a larger journey and can't thank them enough for welcoming us into their home and sharing their gifts, stories and of course the sacred medicine that is Iboga. They take great care and honour in this work and it is noticed from beginning to end.
- Jenna, Victoria Canada

From the moment I entered the Wakyanii Sanctuary the feeling of warmth, love and caring were overwhelming. Every act that Dimitri and Coco did created a new home for myself, away from my home.
I fully found the peace and healing that I was seeking to be able to move forward in the right way. The Medicine paired with Coco and Dimitri’s compassionate hearts, deeply grounded guidance and whimsical creativity created the right soil for my wounds to find healing.
I now have two homes, this one at rooted waters also happens to have 5*cooking.
I am forever grateful! Will return garrenteed.
- Clay Ponich, Vernon
