Ancestral medicine
Iboga
The sacred root from Africa, to look at your life with perspective and let go of patterns, with close support from start to finish. [to be confirmed]
What is iboga?
Iboga is the root of a shrub from Central Africa (Tabernanthe iboga). In the Bwiti tradition of Gabon it is used in initiation and healing rites: a long journey inward, to meet your own story. [to be confirmed]
Those who experience it often describe it as a medicine that brings order: it shows clearly what weighs you down and what serves you, and opens a space to begin again. Because of its intensity, here it is lived with especially careful preparation and support. [to be confirmed]
