About the Teacher

Why study with them?

​Host / Bwiti Student

Melinda is a Certified Hatha Yoga Instructor& also a dedicated student of Iyengar yoga. Melinda came from a background in Science and obtained her PhD in Astronomy in 1998. She was institutionalized by choice for a further 8 years working as a research associate at the Univeristy of NSW. During this time she ran her own electronic music label, distribution company and toured internationally. Throughout this time she conducted her own practical research into entheogenic plants and their effects. In 2006, she decided that that was enough externalization of thought and moved from Sydney (Australia) to a quiet town in the Snowy Mountains and became a School Bus driver. The true lessons of life were learnt outside of society from here. Now disengaged from the machine and with the love and support of her eternal soul mate - the real research could begin.,

She uses her scientific methods and all that she affectionately learnt while contained within the system to apply to her inward study of the self. One thing that Astrophysics has taught is that the focus should never be outwards into an unknown universe but simply towards the creation of the self. Which could in fact be termed the "Big Bang" ?

Throughout my life I have learnt that we create our own experience and that nothing that we experience exists outside of the self. Accountability and responsibility is paramount for a happy life. Through our thoughts and beliefs we attract events that reinforce the beliefs we hold. It is only through observance that we can bring focus to habitual thought patterns and begin to change what we experience in our lives., quite simply by changing our thoughts. Observance of thought allows us to finally see what beliefs we hold. Beliefs that are limiting our life experience and preventing us from being spontaneous and joyous. It is an artform that is my lifes work. These are the teachings that came with Iboga. For this reason I wanted to work with Iboga as I saw it as a great tool for people to get instant change in their lives. It is a spirit for the modern world - other plants are transpersonal in nature, Iboga takes you directly to the seat of creaturehood, through a direct soul connection, so that you can change your life for the better,
