Enveloped by the lush and verdant cultivated fields of the Alentejo in Portugal; secluded on the outskirts of the quiet, cobbled village of Vidigueira with its yellow and blue stucco houses rests our Tabula Rasa Retreat™— currently rated as Europe’s leading Ibogaine Treatment Centre.

Offering inpatient accommodation, we are more than a retreat: we are also a place offering you deep healing; overseen, coordinated and provided for by our superb, holistic team of therapists, chef, nurses and professionally trained Ibogaine healers.

In fact, such is our commitment to our mission that our success rate in treating multiple substance addictions remains unrivalled to date. We are a devoted team, focused on helping people find long lasting drug and alcohol recovery with a very reduced chance of relapse, according to our statistics – over 50% of cases report being sober for over twelve months, as compared to 3% in traditional methods. Clients that come to us to better their health have received unsurmountable benefits. Oftentimes people come in as patients and leave as family.

It is no coincidence that some of us here on the Team have struggled with, yet successfully overcome addictions and mental health issues ourselves, standing before you as living examples that there is profound hope to be had in our hands. Infused with the knowledge gained from our own personal recovery journeys – now living healthy, focused, balanced and meaningful lives with open heart – we are passionate about sharing the deep wisdom transmitted to us by the tabernanthe iboga shrub, from which Ibogaine is extracted.

Primarily, we care deeply about helping you pave the road for the journey to your sobriety, wisdom, attunement, presence and – above all else – freedom from the relentless maws of drug addiction.

It is because of our first-hand knowledge of the mechanisms and triggers of addiction that we know how to beat it. We know that Iboga / Ibogaine offer proven relief from opioid withdrawals, wholly eliminate crack-cocaine cravings, remove your desire to drink and take drugs, help resolve trauma, causes of depression (and so much more) and facilitate a spiritual awakening; it’s no small feat it has been cited as a stepping stone for lasting change.
Note however, that Iboga is not a one-stop miracle cure; as you put in the work too, it will provide a window of opportunity to instil positive changes in your lives.

About Tabula Rasa Retreat™

Tabula Rasa Retreat™ was conceived as more than a recovery center for addicts. It was born from the belief that true healing requires immersion in the darkness of our past, trauma, and history—the realm of our “hungry ghosts,” as eloquently described by Dr. Gabor Maté. Like Dante’s allegory of the cave, only by choosing to confront and transcend our shadows can we discover the truth and experience reality as it truly is.

This journey is about inner work, truth-seeking, and bridging the gap between soul and self, free from external distractions. Iboga offers healing without discrimination; it provides a second chance for self-redemption. Embrace this immersive experience as the purest path to authentic self-discovery and soul communication.

We do not sell illusions or idyllic images; true healing comes from connecting deeply with our souls, guided by strength, resolve, protection, and expert support. Join us in the profound journey of becoming your true self.

“I only know that I know nothing” – Socrates

Allow yourself to become a true “Tabula Rasa”—a blank slate—to rewrite and reinterpret your own history with clarity and purpose.
