Customized 7 to 12 Day Spiritual and Health Immersion for Addictions, Trauma, and Health Issues

We are dedicated to personalized individual and intimate small group ceremonies. 

LYOS founder and lead Sherpa (facilitator) trained with Global Nurture Project (Iboga Therapy Foundation) continues his studies with Darin McBratney, other GNP facilitators, trauma professionals, and spiritual guides. LYOS serves those who are sick and suffering from physical disease, mental health issues, abuse, addiction, trauma, veterans, and anyone experiencing confusion about self, life, god, and connection to nature.

Welcome to an Iboga healing journey – to the root of your healing. Iboga and your willingness to change – to trust nature and yourself can bring lasting changes, heal ailments, resolve trauma, and help you achieve and maintain optimal health.

The Optimal Health protocols developed at the Global Nurture Project are personalized to each individual. LYOS has added a few modalities to the GNP Protocol while the base of McBratney’s program, which has served almost 3,000 people, remains unchanged.

LYOS recognizes that many of us require a new template for life that enables us to feel joyous, happy, and free. This template is a spiritual awakening that gives us hope for a new way of living. By engaging in a holistic approach involving both science and spirituality, we support our clients in deepening their mind-body-spirit-nature connection. Our facilitators and practitioners are survivors recovering from life-altering disease, dysfunction, mental and or physical health issues, violence, addiction, trauma, and or suffering.

We hold space for those seeking a way of life worth living. We gather to share, heal, and support each other. We share experiences living through disease, pain, mental and physical health issues, trauma, abuse, addiction, and war. Our protocol is action based with pre-work and aftercare built into every client’s immersion with us. Our intention is to help you understand what you need and to provide you with the tools to access and optimize your personal healing process before, during, and after a spiritual ceremony with the magical Iboga shrub.

Ceremony Space: Most of our ceremonies take place in the stunning mountains of Chirripo and the Diamanté Valley although, we offer other options as well.

Dates Available Upon Request: Protocol specifics are based on your intake and assessments. We build a plan and align you with the right practitioners based on your specific needs. All ceremonies are guides by LYOS founder Kevin who is a recovering addict, trauma survivor, and a healer / alchemist of disease and dysfunction. Our co-facilitators and service workers range in gender, age, training, and spiritual practice. All ceremonies are gender balanced (with regards to facilitators) to ensure that participants feel safe to communicate their needs and to be cared for and supported.

Pricing: While our lessons from 12-step programs are freely passed along just as others have passed to us, the protocols we developed in conjunction with the 12 steps are woven into the paid service package. Additionally, we work on a sliding scale for trauma, abuse, addiction clients, and veterans. We ask clients to honestly share their income and financial needs so we can build a package that best supports them, their conditions, and their finances. As a non-profit, our intention is to service clients with the most cost-efficient, high-quality, service that they can financially manage.

PS: If you are reading this and remotely sense that you may be an addict, go to a 12-step meeting. It is free; I charge for my services. You can also check out my other organization designed to work with addicts – www.lyoscenter.com
