Bwiti Life Iboga Center

Love life, and life will love you back. It’s a simple teaching, but to embody this is the work. Since childhood many of our minds have been trained to think and react in ways that contribute to creating toxicity that we don’t really want. So to really embody such a simple teaching, or to just \'be happy\' as some people say, a lot of unlearning needs to happen.

About the Centre
The Bwiti Living & Learning Center is a place of grounding, community, learning, unlearning, healing and self improvement. We are honoured to serve those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and PTSD, and feeling stuck in both behavioural addictions and their lives overall. We also love working with people who already lead amazing lives and are aware of Iboga’s ability to optimize neurological functioning, physical health, and activate the third eye. Either way, this work can provide a powerful recalibration to help you live your best life.

The center is a second home for many, where we love and support you into being the best version of yourself. We work with Iboga, a plant medicine from the jungles of Gabon. Iboga is the ultimate teacher. The one who is going to give you the straight truth no matter what. The truth about who you are so that you can peel away everything that isn’t you.

What is Iboga & How Can it Help Me?
Iboga is a plant medicine from the jungles of Gabon, Africa. We only work with the root bark which has been ceremonially extracted from our village in Gabon. The Gabonese people have been using it as a sacred medicine for thousands of years. It’s so highly valued that it’s considered a national treasure. The root bark has the highest concentration of alkaloids, 14 known active alkaloids, than any other plant medicine.
Spiritually, it is the only plant that is a twin, it has two spirits- both a male and female spirit. In ceremony, both spirits work with you. This makes it the most powerful of the plant medicines, also known as the Chief of the plant medicines.

While Iboga may help you with your mental, emotional, spiritual and psychological healing, it is primarily a medicine for the mind. Iboga shows you how you think, where that’s been getting you, and how to think your way to get to where you want to go. It puts you in a powerful position to use your mind as the tool that it was meant to be. It creates a neural plasticity so it makes it easier for you to change your habits to break free from addictive behaviours and create new ways of being.

The spirit of Iboga chose to be paired up with the Bwiti tradition. Bwiti literally translates to school of life, the study of life itself. Our team of spiritual teachers and coaches share the Bwiti teachings with you and how to really embody them so that you can take full advantage of this gift of life.

Psycho-Spiritual Iboga Ceremony- The way it’s done in Gabon
For your safety and highest chance of success, we conduct our ceremonies as closely as possible to the way that we were taught by our teacher.

Our teacher, Moughenda, a 10th generation Nima or high shaman, has acknowledged and appreciated us for this. It has worked in our favour and is something that we will continue to do.

Our ceremonies include many elements of traditional Bwiti ceremonies, including music, smudges and incenses, supportive herbs and shamanic tools, and a particular order of operations and method of care. However Moughenda has designed our way of working to address the unique needs of people in the West. Our ceremonies are called ‘Psycho-spiritual ceremonies’ and are designed to help you be safe and comfortable while doing deep pscyho-emotional-spiritual work.
In your first ceremony, you’ll most likely experience a mental detox, as Iboga is a medicine for the mind. The second ceremony is usually when you ‘journey’- reconnect with your soul; dive deep into your subconscious memories to find forgiveness and heal past traumas, and find the truth of who you are. For this reason we recommend a minimum of two ceremonies. In all ceremonies, you experience a physical, emotional, and psychological detox where instant healing is available.

We are committed to providing healthy foods that satisfy and nourish you, & provide a gentle detox. We accommodate all diets and dietary restrictions. Just let us know your needs and we will make it happen!
