“Iboga and and its synthesized primary psychoactive alkaloid ibogaine are unique sacraments in the psychedelic pantheon. Iboga comes from the root bark of a shrub whose natural habitat is Western Equatorial Africa, particularly Gabon and some neighbouring countries. it’s prized and legal in Gabon, but until quite recently was almost completely unknown in the West. While that has changed a lot in the past decade or two, most people still know little about what it can do and how it works.
What makes iboga and ibogaine so interesting and valuable is that they work with people in ways quite different from other psychedelics. The members of the Bwiti religion in Gabon use iboga in elaborate initiation rituals that they say show the young initiatives who they are as “real” people. In Western ceremonial use iboga has the very unusual capability of showing people where their obstacles are and how to move beyond them in a grounded way. You might call it an earthy medicine. Ayahuasca-like visuals and other-worldly journeying seem to be rare. It just gets right to the issue without fanfare so to speak.
Ibogaine tends to be used mainly in treatment centres for addiction and related problems. Some say that it’s as though it brings down a movie screen for addicts to see where in their early development they turned away from themselves and sought refuge in a substance. At the same time, it often knocks out the craving for some time, maybe a few weeks, allowing the addict to make the changes necessary for a fresh start.
For this Spirit Plant Medicine pre-conference hybrid event, we’re lucky to have two leaders in the field with long experience, Mark Howard and Elizabeth Bast. Joining us for this informative and inspiring event will be the soulful, angel-voiced singer-songwriter Vanessa Le-Fan Yuen, who will be live in studio with hosts Marc Caron and Stephen Gray to sing a few of her medicine-inspired songs.”
