About the Bwiti tradition

The Bwiti tradition originates from the Congo Basin of Central Africa.

It’s a mystical science that’s been evolving over thousands of years, passed down by the Pygmy peoples.

Bwiti is a “primordial tradition,” carrying ancient wisdom that forms the foundation of all human spiritual wisdom systems—the trunk from which many spiritual paths and religions have grown.

The tradition uses iboga (African plant medicine), along with many, many other spiritual tools in the rituals during multi-day rituals.

The practice of the Bwiti encompasses a constellation of branches

(sets of rituals), including Bwiti Dissoumba of the South, Bwiti Missoko and Bwiti Fang.

We organise Bwiti Missoko and Bwiti Fang initiations.

What is Bwiti initiation?

Everything has a beginning.

Initiation starts with: why do you want to do this? What do you need?

What question, healing or transformation are you here for?

Then, initiation becomes the doorway to reach that place.

The initiation takes place in the village temple and forest of Gabon, Africa and is facilitated by a consecrated spiritual father and the community.

It goes for 7-10 days and involves multiple tools to help you receive what you need and let go of what you don’t need. To transform, deeply.

These tools include iboga (sacred wood) the sacred harp, songs and dances (sonic and embodied coding), purification rituals, elements from the forest and the community themselves.

Initiation is about practice. You don’t just watch: you DO, observe, experience through a process of purifying, journeying and integration.
