Global Nurture Project

Welcome to the Global Nurture Project

Iboga Plant
The Global Nurture Project is a program dedicated to serve any individual's physical, mental, and spiritual health using holistic, natural and intuitive remedies. We focus on an individual's entire universal make-up to develop in-depth personal healing modalities ranging from physical exercise to alternative healing practices and plant based supplements. Developing a long-term rejuvenation plan involves recognizing each individual's specific physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being; we take all these into consideration, and more.

Iboga, a powerful healing and sacred plant grown in the heart of Africa is used in this program as a tool, as a medicine, and as a spiritual guide for your body, mind, and soul. However, regardless of Iboga's supernatural efficiency in healing almost any ailment, it is not our main focus. We only recommend it if you have a calling for it. You are not required to take Iboga to participate in our Optimal Health Protocol. What we specifically focus on is your overall health from each physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional aspect.
 
Once the Global Nurture Project accepts your application, we will evaluate you mentally and physically. We do a highly in-depth analysis of your health by using our exclusive and unparalleled Optimal Health Protocol. This applied kinesiology-medical intuitive based method will allow us to ask your body exactly what it needs in order to assist it in maximizing your health. This extensive approach takes into account thousands of direct influences to your well-being from your environment, nutrition, mental health and develops modalities of healing specific to the individual.

This would  have sounded farfetched to me eleven years ago when I was left bedridden for two years with an “undiagnosed” chronic illness. I found my experience with the western medicine world to be very intrusive and counterproductive at best; it completely failed me on every level. I spent a fortune and learned a lot about the fallacies of these kinds of practices. Since then I have been studying nutrition, holistic counseling, and all forms of natural healing modalities and over the last twelve years I have developed the Global Nurture Project. After over $500,000 and forty plus western doctors of all titles misdiagnosed me and tried to give me drugs for depression and fatigue along with more tests leading me in circles, it was an intuitive naturopathic doctor who diagnosed me in less than five minutes. I had contracted Ciguatera or “red tide” nerve toxins from surfing. When I read there was no cure for what I had, I was in disbelief. Not only did I not believe in a cureless illness, I proved them wrong. There is always a cure, we just need to be open to new (or old) forms of healing and trust in the process. I still refuse to believe that there are any illnesses or diseases that have no cure. I believe all illnesses both physical and mental are curable and I have the method to prove it. As long as the participant has the drive to be healed and believes in the process, they are curable.

What to Expect

Picture
Iboga is the most powerful healing substance known to humankind. Originating in Africa among the Pygmy and Bwiti culture, it has been used traditionally for fertility, ailments, rights of passage and spiritual growth. Today, Iboga's medicinal power has successfully been used to treat almost all illnesses both physical and mental and has proved effective in curing patients for conditions ranging from PTSD to heavy drug addiction. All this to say this plant is sacred; it knows and serves every individual's highest purpose. It offers insights into the self, the universe, and life that language struggles to explain. 

There are guidelines for each participant to follow in preparation for an Iboga healing retreat. These guidelines make up a protocol that we consistently adhere to in order to gather the necessary information for each person as well as create the provisions for their safety.

A typical treatment begins with relaxation/grounding techniques and setting an intention for your healing process. During the treatment you are cared for by nurturing, professional staff all here to help guide you through the transitions keeping you comfortable and safe.

Effects of the Iboga treatment are very different for every individual as we are all unique. Our retreats provide comprehensive and original therapeutic opportunities to support this process for each person individually. We strive to make this treatment experience as successful as possible through integrative therapies to encourage self exploration, healing, recovery and aftercare. Throughout this program, it is estimated that 1 out of 200 people treated do not report immensely profound experiences and may in fact feel very little effect. However, Iboga works in very mysterious ways and dozens of guests have reported inexplicable changes of health, spirituality, etc. long after their treatments.

Each person's Iboga experience will be specifically tailored to his or her needs upon consultation here at our facilities. Individualized care is essential for successful treatment, support, and maintenance. The goal of therapy is based upon the individual and meeting them where they are along their path to health. It is critical for those being treated to have active participation in their healing process by setting intentions and committing to lifestyle modifications as is necessary to support the long-term effects of treatment.
The elimination of toxins is the first step to better health. The powerful cleansing you receive both mentally and physically from Iboga will make you feel young, organic, and vibrant once again. Iboga will heal your body faster and more effectively than any other substance on our planet, and revert you to your original, organic, centered loving self.

Our Treatments are for people seeking relief from physical health issues, mental, and emotional problems. I am an absolute firm believer that there is not one physical ailment that we cannot relieve you of or a spiritual journey you will not benefit from. You will be reset on a molecular level. They call Iboga the plant of truth. This plant is not only natural but supernatural. Soon after you will have what we refer to as the "Iboga glow." The Iboga ceremony can be thought of as a thirty hour meditation and cleansing.

We offer very individualized care, support, and maintenance for our guests. We also do our best to make you feel at home. We also love to have fun here and there are always activities going on. You are free to do everything and then again, absolutely nothing if you want as long as you are happy!!!

*Participation in certain activities or modalities may vary with each individual.  We also are not claiming Iboga to be the "miracle cure," but a powerful stepping stone to a sustainable and pure health regime*


What is Iboga? with Darin McBratney and Catherine Carrigan


Fiona is a Naturopathic Doctor from Australia, and this is her testimony.


About your Iboga Healers

Picture
Darin McBratney is an adventurer, futurist, yoga teacher, writer, BMW motorcycle adventure enthusiast, gardener, psychonaut, Iboga grower, builder, counselor, surf instructor, snow boarder, plant healer, researcher, and a strong activist for peace and justice in the world. Darin is the owner of the Costa Rica Yoga Spa and has lived in Nosara for 30 years. Darin was an adventurer and traveler from a young age. He began by living in New Zealand, Hawaii, the central coast of California, and Europe. Darin has been studying and growing herbs and plants for years and found that to be one of his strong points. He also realized that he had a calling to heal people through the use of nature’s most powerful plant, Iboga. His daily research has made him incredibly knowledgeable and his pursuit to discover every potential method of plant healing has lead him to the development of the world’s first combination of Iboga with yoga. We refer to it as Iboga Yoga. The Costa Rica Yoga Spa is now well known for this unique and powerful combination. Darin has perfected specialized Iboga soundtracks to ensure guests/clients the most fluid organic healing of their lives. Darin's living philosophy is about healing through the body and mind within the context of feeling in a super safe, sacred, grounded container and bringing the ego in alignment with the "higher self". He teaches that all suffering is ego based and can be overcome with radical shifts of consciousness. The "field" of plant medicine is the devine realms and allows us to see, heal and gain new awareness around the destructive patterns that once ruled our our narrow existence.

In 2005 Darin became critically ill during a time that appeared to be the pinnacle of his healthy and happy life. He went through 2 extremely hard years and became very frustrated with western medicine. Such endearments included being prescribed countless varieties of damaging drugs, misdiagnoses, and being sent to hospital after hospital. He came dangerously close to dying twice and all the while was paying a fortune in doctor bills and for obscure tests. This horrific two years instilled in him the path of healing naturally. Finally, through the use of applied kinesiology, Darin was diagnosed correctly in five minutes by Dr. Angelique Kay N.D. in San Luis Obispo, California.  She discovered that Darin had Ciguatera which essentially was red tide toxins that entered his body while surfing during a red tide. This intrigued Darin to start researching all natural modalities of healing. Becoming discouraged with western medicine, Darin set a path so others wouldn’t have to suffer a path to freedom.
​
Darin's interest in applied kinesiology, naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Ayurveda medicine, iridology, metaphysics, medical intuitives, ancient archealogy and just about every other form of natural healing modality that is not western medicine, will be implemented at the new healing center. This is located at the Costa Rica Yoga Spa. Darin and his staff are also available for private ceremonies in other areas of Costa Rica and abroad.

Preparation Guide for Iboga Therapy

Picture
Intention and Awareness
Iboga is a powerful herbal substance that may induce profound physical and psychological changes.  It has a powerful psychoactive agent with the ability to induce an experience that has the potential to lead to profound life changes in any individual.

Centering and grounding yourself will prepare you to maximize the potential for a deeper transformative and healing experience. Taking the time to center yourself through activities such as writing, walking, meditation, yoga/stretching, or anything that helps to provide personal insight, body awareness, and reflection, is a great way to prepare for the experience. Allowing yourself some personal space and time to reflect on your inner thoughts and emotions will greatly benefit your overall experience and will aid in reintegration.

Pay attention to your expectations. While Iboga therapy can be very effective at healing and facilitating awareness of the deeper personal work that is necessary to do over the long term, expecting Iboga therapy to solve all your problems at once may lead to disappointment. Think of it rather as a tool, as an opportunity to heal, and as a means to gain the knowledge and strength necessary to help you lift yourself to where you would like to be. It is a first step towards your journey of advancing your wellbeing. Empower yourself by look deeply and truthfully into what is needed in your life. Be honest with yourself so that you may gain the fullest potential from your experience. Take your time to consider your existing state, both of health and habits, and what you may need to change over the long term to maximize your healing process. Dedicate this time towards exploring your physical, emotional, and psychological needs with an earnest awareness, and an accepting attitude. It is also important to be gentle, patient, and forgiving with yourself by knowing that none of us are perfect and it takes time to heal.
 

The transformative nature of the Iboga experience will be most effective if you are dedicated and committed to following through over the long term with the personal insight you receive. Seeking out resources and support in your life will greatly enhance your success. The path of healing can be a long road that requires focus and perseverance. Iboga therapy can lead you onto a path to this greater awareness and consciousness. However, it is ultimately up to you to unlock the door to see, experience, and immerse yourself in the deeper meaning and the greater beyond.
