The Living Lodge
Aftercare and Retreats

Find your peace within.

The Living Lodge is a discreet residential retreat in the redwoods of Mendocino County, providing a calm, structured environment for people returning from intensive personal work or other demanding experiences.

Whether shaped by military service, addiction, or early life experiences, many arrive carrying stories that never had room to be felt. Though the details differ, the internal experience is often the same: living on alert and needing space to slow down and settle.

A quiet place to regain footing.

THE RETURN

When the experience is over, and everyday life begins again.

This phase often begins when an intense or personally significant experience is over, but its impact is still unfolding. For many, daily life resumes too quickly, before there’s been space to slow down.

The Lodge is a small, non-clinical residential setting designed for rest and clarity during transition. We offer quiet lodging, predictable routines, nourishment, and a grounded, trauma-informed presence. Optional reflection or coaching is available for those who want it, but participation is never required.

Client Testimonials

Potent Positive Outcomes

After a life of constant change and chaos, I realized I needed more support than most to truly heal. My nervous system was wrecked. The Living Lodge is more than ibogaine aftercare for me. It has become a home, where I found stillness and rebuilt a sense of purpose. I am staying in the area to remain connected to the incredible people I met here.

SMALL BY DESIGN

We host a limited number of guests at a time so the Lodge remains quiet, personal, and predictable. Availability varies, and timing is explored together.

    BEFORE CONFIRMING A STAY

    We work directly with each guest to ensure clarity, readiness, and mutual alignment before confirming a stay.

    If you’re reaching out on behalf of a loved one, please understand that before confirming a stay, we will need to speak directly with the individual who would be coming to the Lodge. The Living Lodge does not conduct interventions or persuade participation. All guests arrive voluntarily and by their own choice.
