Levi is a Bwiti healer that helps people heal with some of life's most difficult problems. People come from all over the world to Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica to deal with problems like depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, substance and non-substance addictions in a psycho-spiritual context. Iboga is a small shrub from West central Africa in the countries of Gabon, Cameroon and the Congo. Iboga has been used for centuries by indigenous people and more recently has made its way to the Western world. On this episode, we discuss how healing and transformation can occur with the use of Iboga. In this episode, we cover: Levi’s work with Iboga at the Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica. Examining the misconceptions about Iboga, with a focus on its healing properties. The “mind cleanse” process that Iboga facilitates. Explanation of how Iboga aids in overcoming trauma and emotional release. Distinction between Iboga and Ibogaine, particularly in addiction treatment. The historical and cultural origins of Iboga from Gabon, Africa. Levi’s personal journey with Iboga, using it to overcome opiate addiction. The spiritual and personal growth aspects of Iboga, contrasting it with its use for physical detox. How tradition and rituals around Iboga have shaped its modern application. Exploration of the psycho-spiritual retreat experience at the Iboga Wellness Center. Discussion on the process and effects of the Iboga mind cleanse and its impact on mental clarity. The emotional and chemical resets (dopamine, serotonin) that Iboga can initiate. Levi’s observations of physical changes in people post-treatment, especially in expressions and facial structure. The significance of integration after an Iboga experience and available support systems. Levi’s description of the spiritual energies of Iboga as a teaching tool that emphasizes self-teaching. Future trends and potential pharmaceutical developments emerging from iboga's properties. Closing thoughts on the responsibility of listening to one's inner call when considering Iboga treatment. Levi's passion is to spread healing and the gift of iboga to whomever is called. Levi wants to give back for the many gifts he has received through iboga. One key aspect of this iboga work is the Bwiti tradition. Bwiti is the name for someone who works with iboga to heal. The Bwiti tradition focuses on universal truths of our life to guide us to living a full happy life. The Bwiti tradition is a set of tools we can draw on to guide us in life to making the right decisions for ourselves, self love, managing the mind and to give thanks for the most precious gift, our life.

Nel 136° episodio torna ospite di Illuminismo Psichedelico il grande Giorgio Samorini, che stavolta ci racconta dei culti e degli usi legati all'iboga nell'africa centro-occidentale, e in particolare nel Gabon. In quell'area, frequentata da Samorini per più di 30 anni, avvengono dei riti, principalmente condotti dai gruppi di etnia Buiti, al cui centro c'è il consumo della radice essiccata e polverizzata di una pianta, la Tabernanthe iboga, che ha gli effetti (e quindi è) uno psichedelico maggiore, mostrando una durata addirittura maggiore di tutti gli altri psichedelici a oggi conosciuti. Inoltre il rito iniziatico del culto dell'iboga presso le etnie buiti è il più lungo ed estremo tra quelli fino a oggi noti. L'iboga in Gabon ha 4 tipi di utilizzo, un dosaggio basso può fare da stimolante per lavori faticosi o come afrodisiaco; c'è poi un uso divinatorio; l'uso religioso che è al centro di questa puntata; e infine l'uso legato alle possessioni spiritiche.

Ikara retreat center is located in the southern zone of Costa Rica.  Ikara is the western representative of Mboka A Nzambe -- one of the last traditional Bwete villages in Gabon.   King Adumangana of Mboka A Nzambe invited Kuma to join the African village and be initiated as a Miobe Nganga.  During his initiation, Kuma was taken deep into the Babongo territories (the home of the Babongo Pygmies) in Dibios to do his rite of passage Mweli before his initiation could be completed.   Kuma was the first westerner to be initiated for this great privilege.  King Adumangana wanted Kuma to be his advocate for the west and convey the knowledge, teachings, and spirituality of Bwete.   In this way, the main aim of Ikara is to screen people who may wish to visit Mboka A Nziambe in Gabon.  King Adumangana wants people to come and experience the traditional process of rebirth in its traditional manner.  Ikara offers traditional Babongo Miobe Ombudi Iboga ceremonies as taught by Spiritual Father King Adumangana.  All profits go directly to Mboka A Nzambe and the 7 Babongo villages supported in Dibois.

It interrupts the addiction cycle through a powerful psychoactive experience lasting 12-24 hours, which helps individuals detox from drugs like heroin and opioids. After the session, many report being free of withdrawal symptoms and cravings for months, providing a unique pathway out of addiction.Use in Treating Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Jonathan has worked extensively with veterans, especially Navy SEALs, using Ibogaine to address TBIs. These injuries, often from combat-related concussive forces, lead to symptoms that mirror PTSD. Ibogaine appears to regenerate brain function, as seen in a study conducted with Stanford University, where veterans exhibited significant brain activity improvement following treatment.Cultural Roots in Bwiti and African Traditions: Iboga has deep cultural significance in Gabon, particularly in Bwiti spiritual practices, which have been influenced by both indigenous Pygmy traditions and Bantu peoples. Bwiti uses Iboga in ceremonies for psycho-spiritual exploration, healing, and connection to ancestors, a tradition that has persisted for centuries and possibly millennia.Misunderstandings About Noribogaine: Many believe that noribogaine, a metabolite of Ibogaine, remains in the body for up to eight months, contributing to long-lasting effects. However, Jonathan clarifies that noribogaine remains in the system for only a few days or a week. The extended feeling of ease or afterglow people experience may be due to neurotrophic factors like GDNF, which stimulate brain healing and regeneration over time.Emerging Scientific Understanding of Ibogaine: Research into Ibogaine's mechanisms is still developing. It acts on many receptors in the brain, including the Sigma 2 receptor, which has been linked to pain relief and neuroprotective effects. There's also growing interest in its potential role in intracellular processes and energy metabolism, where it appears to improve cellular efficiency, possibly explaining its long-term regenerative effects on brain function.Decentralized Knowledge and Treatment Communities: Unlike tightly regulated pharmaceutical models, Ibogaine treatment has grown in a decentralized, community-driven way, with providers sharing their experiences and knowledge. This echoes the traditions of Bwiti and emphasizes the importance of communal support around Ibogaine therapy, where the intensity of the experience requires a supportive environment and a collective sharing of insights.Sustainability and Ethical Sourcing of Iboga: Jonathan is actively involved in ensuring the sustainable and ethical sourcing of Iboga through his company, Teregnosis. Working with Gabonese communities, Teregnosis follows the Nagoya Protocol to ensure that the benefits of Iboga's growing global interest are shared with the traditional communities that have long relied on this plant, protecting both the ecosystem and cultural heritage.

Spencer and I had a lengthy conversation about his own initiation into Iboga, his time with the Bwiti, and how he sees Iboga as assisting in the process of rebirthing oneself into a more authentic and present way of being and living life.

Healing and ancestral knowledge and healing through Iboga.  Chor Boogie, a renowned spray paint artist and ordained Nganga in the Bwiti tradition, joins us on this episode of Plantscendence to talk about his work as an iboga healer in Costa Rica, and the sinuous path that got him there. Chor reflects humorously on his early psychedelic experiences, including a trip to Disneyland on LSD, and traces his journey from the world of graffiti art to that of plant medicine, which includes a decade of study and service in Gabon, Central West Africa. He describes how iboga helped him break free from addictive patterns – which he equates to “30 years of therapy” – and eventually reconnect with his ancestral roots. Chor addresses both the dangers and possibilities posed by Western medicine's piquing interest in iboga, and emphasizes the importance of respecting and preserving indigenous practices amidst the backdrop of globalization.Links: Chorboogie.comSoulcentro.comPlantscendence.comPlantscendence.com

Rosie is a heroic trailblazer, entering naval aviation at a pivotal moment in the early 90s when females were finally allowed to serve in combat roles in the United States military. But the beginning of her career was marked by a senior leader telling her to hide any issues she was having. Over decades of service marred by compartmentalizing loss, trauma, and her sexuality, Rosie decided to ‘put the mask on herself' and heal. She briefs listeners on her incredible experience with the sacred medicine Iboga which allowed her to see who she truly was – a perfect soul deserving of love. She talks about the preparation and the integration upon returning home to her partner.
