Iboga retreat inOregon, USA

This is home ground. I know the land here from Mt. Hood to the coast. The forests, the rivers, the volcanic peaks, the Pacific shoreline — I’ve walked most of it. There’s no other location I hold with this kind of familiarity.
Why Oregon.
Oregon has something the other locations don’t: everything at once. Old-growth forest an hour from the ocean. Snow-capped mountains two hours from the high desert. The landscape changes faster here than almost anywhere I’ve worked. That means we can match the environment to you without booking a flight.
The forests here are ancient. Douglas fir, western red cedar, moss on everything. Walking into an old-growth grove does something to the nervous system that’s hard to explain and impossible to fake. It’s the closest thing to being swallowed by nature — enclosed, held, returned to something older than your problems.
The coast is the Pacific, not the Gulf of Thailand. It’s not soft and warm. It’s big and cold and powerful. The waves are loud. The wind is real. If you need expansion, the Oregon coast provides it — but without the gentleness. It’s for people who need to feel something larger than themselves and don’t need it to be comfortable.
The mountains — Hood, Jefferson, the Cascades — are volcanic. There’s something grounding about standing on a mountain that was once fire. The perspective is the same as Chiang Mai’s mountains, but the geology is different. It’s rawer. Younger.
The legal landscape.
Oregon has a legal framework for therapeutic psilocybin, which has shifted the conversation around plant medicine in the state. Iboga sits in its own space — the legal details are discussed during our initial conversation. What matters is that Oregon is more open to this work than most of the US, and that openness changes the energy around it.
Who comes here.
US-based clients who don’t want to leave the country. People on the West Coast who feel connected to this landscape already. People who’ve hiked these forests or surfed this coast and know the Pacific Northwest does something to them they can’t quite name.
Also: people who need the simplicity. No visa, no long flight, no adjusting to a new country’s rhythms. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is remove every barrier between you and the work. Oregon does that for Americans.
Common questions about Oregon, USA.
Yes. Chris offers private, one-on-one iboga ceremony in Oregon. The Pacific Northwest provides multiple landscape options — old-growth forest, Pacific coast, and Cascade mountains — each serving a different purpose in the ceremony process.
Oregon has a progressive legal framework for plant medicine, including legal therapeutic psilocybin. Iboga’s specific legal status is discussed during your initial conversation. Chris ensures the container is safe and private.
Oregon is Chris’s home ground — he knows the land intimately. It’s the domestic option for US-based clients: no passport, no jet lag, no international travel. Oregon also offers landscape variety — forest, coast, and mountains are all within driving distance — so the environment can be matched to what you need without adding complexity.
You arrive a few days early for preparation. Chris selects the specific location — forest, coast, or mountains — based on what you discuss together. The ceremony is private and one-on-one, followed by rest and the beginning of a 90-day integration process. All meals and logistics are handled.
Start the conversation
The first step is a conversation with Chris about whether this makes sense for you. If it does, we figure out next steps together. If it doesn't, he'll tell you.
