The heart of the retreat

Iboga uncovers the Heaven within

Beneath every story you've been told about yourself, the Heaven within is already there, like the sun behind the clouds. Iboga clears the clouds. And this retreat gives you seven days to discover that light and learn how to remain in it for the rest of your life.

  1. A glowing human in the jungle at dawn; a crust of dry bark breaks away from the body and golden light pours out from within.

    I

    Uncover the Heaven within

    Iboga removes the noise of the mind and brings you back to very simple truths. The light that was always there gets to shine again.

  2. A glowing human kneels with both hands on the glowing golden roots of a giant tree of life; light flows up into the heart.

    II

    Tap into the Source

    Iboga takes you deep within, to the root of who and what you are. Beyond the body, beyond the mind: the I AM.

  3. A glowing human rises above the jungle floor while dark vines and a broken cage below dissolve into golden light.

    III

    Transcend your limitations

    False ideas and limiting beliefs loosen their hold. On Iboga you feel more yourself, and what isn't the real You simply stops mattering.

  4. A glowing human stands upright in a column of golden light inside a woven bamboo pavilion.

    IV

    Return to your true Self

    Back in alignment with your true Self, where you get to live in joy and passion for your life.

Alek Dumas smiling, looking up into golden light.

Wow, so you've heard the call...

Allow me to write from my heart to yours.

You know there is something more to this life. You feel it, and it keeps calling.

This retreat is where you get to answer it. Seven days in the jungle of Tulum, with the medicine of authenticity, a very small group, and every tool I've found that works.

It is DEEP work. And it is entirely worth it.

Peace of mind, clarity and the joy of living are waiting on the other side. (They were never gone, only covered, like the sun behind the clouds.)

Alek

The question behind everything

What is the most effective way to get someone from a state of suffering to a state of thriving?

Ever since I started on my spiritual path, this one question has guided pretty much everything I do, and everything I wanted to learn next.

It took me to Gabon, Africa, where I was initiated into the Bwiti tradition. It led me through Ayahuasca, breathwork, sound, energy healing, 5-MeO-DMT and hundreds of Iboga ceremonies.

Always refining. Always adding what makes it all better. Deeper healing, faster.

This retreat is the most up-to-date answer to that question. It's the result of years of refining and refining, to bring you the most complete experience I know.

And it's so much more. Iboga meets you where you're at. I've worked with people in deep suffering, with world-renowned speakers, and with everyone in between. So it's no longer only about suffering to thriving. It's also thriving to thriving even more haha!

My vision is simple. Heaven on Earth starts with each of us awakening to the Heaven within. And when you shine, your light reaches everyone around you, simply by being near them, and it spreads.

Two months, one path

Transcendence in 3 phases

Preparation builds momentum, the retreat brings rebirth, and integration crystallizes it into daily life.

Phase 1 Month 1, at home

Seeds of Transformation

It starts before you fly. For one month you microdose Iboga at home with your own supply, so you arrive already dancing with the medicine, step by step.

You also receive my preparation guide, with a gentle self-love practice for every day, so you arrive with the inner conditions for the deepest healing.

  • Your first month of medicine
  • The preparation guide
  • Your intention and intake

Phase 2 7 days in Tulum

Radiant Blossoming

Seven days in a private jungle villa. Two Iboga ceremonies, one 5-MeO-DMT ceremony, the Celestial Breathwork Journey and sound healing, with me by your side the whole week.

On their own, each of these can lead to exceptional results. Combined in one process... miracles can occur.

  • 2 Iboga ceremonies and the handshake
  • 5-MeO-DMT, three rounds
  • Breathwork and sound healing

Phase 3 Month 2, back home

Integrated Brilliance

The second month of your supply carries the integration. Thirty days of practices keep the lessons alive in your day-to-day life, so the retreat is never a one and done.

Integration is the embodiment of what you have remembered. And after that, you're always welcome on the free monthly alumni call.

The medicines and practices

The tools of the week

Iboga

The medicine of authenticity

Get to the root of yourself. Iboga is served as root bark, the bark itself, as it's taken in the jungles of Africa. It shows you what is true and what is not, and then free will lets you choose.

The first ceremony shows you what you are not. The second shows you what you are. Death and Rebirth.

5-MeO-DMT

Infinity, felt directly

Here, infinity and boundlessness stop being concepts and become a felt experience of your infinite nature.

Iboga heals what's going on in your life. 5-MeO-DMT shows you the truth directly.

Celestial Breathwork

The breath as medicine

A powerful guided journey with somatic releases, a 9D sound journey and a light therapy device, and a big scream to release what no longer serves.

Breathwork is both the work and the medicine.

Sound healing

The human voice

Crystal bowls and tuning forks, together with the best sound technology of all: the human voice.

What makes this retreat unique

Five threads, one weave

The medicine opens the door. These five tools help you walk all the way through it, and keep walking once you're home. Every one of them is woven into the week, and that's what makes this retreat truly unique.

Thread one

Bwiti traditions

The Study of Life

In Gabon I was initiated into the Bwiti, whose name means the Study of Life. Some of their traditions hold our ceremonies, starting with the root bark itself, served whole, the way it comes from the Earth. We also use the Bwiti music, and play the instruments live at various times, such as during the initial handshake.

Thread two

Re-parenting

Love for the younger you

Iboga often takes you back to the moment a belief was born, usually in childhood. Re-parenting lets you meet that younger self, ask what would bring it full peace again, and give it exactly that. And it goes both ways: the little you give comes back much bigger.

Thread three

Emotional GPS

Every feeling becomes a direction

Emotions are messengers. Don't shoot the messenger, read the message. With the Emotional GPS, every feeling that comes up in ceremony points you in the right direction, and the GPS stays with you for the rest of your life.

Thread four

Self-Love

The depth of your healing

All emotional healing is in direct proportion to the amount of self-love we have. Self-love creates the inner safety that lets buried emotions come to the surface, so we start growing it a month before you arrive.

Thread five

Belief dissolution

Out of the box

The only thing between you and the life you truly want is a set of beliefs keeping you in a box. Iboga shows you where each one came from. Belief dissolution lets you see it was only something you agreed to at some point, and let it go.

So the medicine shows you the root, and the tools help you feel it, love it, release it and live the new way. That's how the change stays.

The methods are only tools.
The healing comes from Love.

A guestWhat she's been keeping inside finally came out
NadiaTestimonial
A handwritten note on lined paper: For over 35 years, I have suffered from drug resistant depression. I tried everything, from a wide range of antidepressant medications, cognitive therapy, and a variety of plant medicines. I had pretty much reached rock-bottom, and had no where to turn. Then, I heard about Iboga/Ibogaine, and eventually found Alek. In 5 days, my depression was gone, my spark for life was ignited into a flame, and I truly discovered that I love myself and everything about me. Make no mistake, the process was challenging, but the outcome is so beautiful, and worth everything it took to arrive at this destination. Life is truly beautiful again. J.B.
J.B.A handwritten note

Everything. Everything changed. Drastically. I give thanks, I thank you, I thank myself, in all phases of the process, there is one thing I really remember is how much perseverance and trust I have within me. I changed my whole vision of life, my way of seeing it. It's all just so beautiful. I can't even comprehend how I was able to find all of this, but I found it all, and it is all within. And I will never let it go. Because I know it is inside of me now, so I can't ever lose it again.

Ghislain

It was Amazing Alek. This was the best thing I've done for myself in the last 50 years. Just reconnected me to everything that's important, everything that I love. Got rid of all kinds of negative emotions, toxic energy, baggage... I mean, I can't even describe it. Like a dump truck full of baggage. But the positive is that mentally I just feel so clear and centered. It was a beautiful experience, and you're a beautiful person Alek. I totally get it now, it was great and I really appreciate it. I love you brother!
