Ibogaine is the future of addiction treatment and mental healthcare.

Most addiction treatment programs just manage symptoms. Ibogaine interrupts addiction at its neurological and spiritual roots, giving you a new lease on life, reborn and free of addiction.

Two weeks of work.
A lifetime of liberation.

Our Ibogaine program combines nature immersion with hospital treatment so you that can leave not just sober, but sovereign. You will learn to experience life on your terms.

Addiction isn’t the end of your story. It’s the beginning.

In Brazil, ibogaine isn’t hidden, it’s hospital-issued

Brazil is the only country in the world where ibogaine is legally regulated, prescribed, and utilized in the hospital.

Combined with indigenous wisdom, your healing program is safer and more effective than anywhere else on Earth.

Testimonials

The Nekawa crew has been instrumental in helping me reclaim my divinity. I met Charles a little over ten years ago when I was a hopeless, homeless heroin addict. In just one night my life was forever changed for the better, and he has been one of my best friends ever since! - Completed Ibogaine in 2014

For years, I struggled to come to terms with the death of my father and to break free from the cycle of substance use. Under Charles and Tatiana’s guidance, I was finally able to confront those painful emotions and begin to release them. Their presence, wisdom, and understanding made all the difference. I’m deeply grateful — this experience helped me reconnect with life in a way I hadn’t thought possible. - Completed Ibogaine in 2015

Ibogaine with Charles in 2014 truly saved my life. It gave me a kind of freedom I never knew was possible. Charles has remained a mentor, friend, and guide for over a decade — compassionate, wise, and deeply committed to healing. He’s helped not only me, but my family and friends as well. I’d give him 10 stars and more. -Completed Ibogaine in 2014

Charles Johnston

In 2013, at the age of 28, Charles left behind his heroin addiction when, as a last resort, he traveled from his home in America to Mexico to experience Ibogaine. A miracle occurred and he was free.

Since then, he has worked at numerous centers, traveled the world exploring psychedelic healing with indigenous groups, and shared his experience helping thousands realize the truth - they are not powerless and there are better options to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the first step?
Reach out. No commitment, no pressure. Just a conversation to see if it’s the right fit — for your body, your goals, and your timing. We’ll walk you through it, step by step.
What makes Nekawa different?
We don’t see addiction as a moral failing. We don’t push powerlessness. We focus on building agency, restoring dignity, and reconnecting people with their bodies, their breath, and their purpose.
Why Ibogaine?
Because for certain people — especially those struggling with addiction — Ibogaine can offer what nothing else has: a real neurological reset. It interrupts the cycle, clears cravings, and opens a window for deep change. It’s not for everyone. But when it works, it works.
What is Nekawa?
Nekawa is a new kind of healing environment. It blends clinical safety, immersive nature, psychedelic medicine, and purpose-driven living. It’s not a retreat to escape life — it’s a space to re-enter it, stronger and clearer than before.
