For people in Nashville: a whole root ceremony on Kauaʻi

Vital Kauaʻi is a legally established church on Kauaʻi’s North Shore. Members from Nashville join a thirteen-week journey: six weeks of preparation from home, one week on the island with two held nights with the whole root in ceremony, and six weeks of integration after. Guides, a medical provider, somatic practitioners and integration coaches walk with each member through all of it.

Preparation, from Nashville

A medical consultation and health review, somatic and nervous-system preparation, and weekly guidance through the member portal. All of it happens from home, on Zoom, before travel.

Ceremony, on Kauaʻi

Two nights with the whole root in nature, one-on-one or in a container of up to three, with experienced guides and the medical provider present overnight. An EKG on-island comes first.

Integration, back in Nashville

Six weekly one-on-one calls with an integration coach, plus somatic sessions, so what the root shows you becomes how you live, lead and create at home.

Getting to Kauaʻi from Nashville

  • Līhuʻe Airport (LIH) is about 4,400 miles from Nashville International (BNA).
  • One connection, usually through Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver or Honolulu, from Nashville International (BNA).
  • Kauaʻi runs 4 hours (5 during daylight saving time) behind Nashville.
  • Members arrive the day before their first ceremony, so the body settles before the work begins.

How this tracker is kept

  • Each state is checked against legislature records, agency releases and published reporting, and carries the date it was last checked. Every development links to its source.
  • “No known activity” means the state was checked on the date shown and no ibogaine-specific law, bill, funding or task force was found.
  • The directory lists organizations and public offices with their own websites. Listing points readers to them and does not endorse them.
  • This tracker is offered for education and does not constitute legal or medical advice. Ibogaine and iboga remain Schedule I substances under federal law. See the medical disclaimer.
