This is traditional Bwiti Fang initiation by a consecrated Nima (spiritual father) in the Mboumba Eyano tradition.
Over six days and 5 nights, you’re guided through traditional rituals and tools to puirfy and meet your Higher Sefl, heal, and expand into who you are.
These tools include sacred wood (iboga), the sacred harp, songs and dances (sonic and embodied coding), purification rituals, elements from the forest and initiated community.
Initiation is about practice. You don’t just watch: you DO, observe, experience through a process of purifying, journeying and integration.
It 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.

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 sacred wood (iboga), 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.
This initiation is in the Bwiti Fang Mboumba Eyano branch.
About the Bwiti Fang + Mboumba Eyano branch
The Bwiti Fang is a journey of going in to the heart and through to the beyond. The process supports you with connecting with the subtle layers for your freedom, wisdom, peace and expansion.
MBOUMBA EYANO is specifically designed for meeting your Higher Self.
The form of this initiation is delicate and extremely textured. It allows you to journey fully in the spiritual-subtle realms, allowing you to travel far and deep within yourself and existence itself.
You can receive healing, knowledge and wisdom to apply to your life as well as open to greater mystical knowledge.
Taking place within an initiatic room, the process involves several days of purification rituals, allowing you to raise your frequency, increase your sensitivity and contact your Self more deeply.
Here, you can receive dreams (visions), messages and healing even before eating sacred wood.
Throughout the process you also speak with the Nima (consecrated master) to help you understand and go deeper.
Finally, you eat the sacred wood and journey with the accompaniment of the sacred harp, specific songs, the Nima and initiated people of the community.
After the initiation, you have time with the Nima to understand your experience and receive more wisdom from the Bwiti Fang Tradition.

Everyone who participates in the initiation are initiates themselves. They’ve been where they are and have their eye on you, supporting you step by step. The community are family of the spiritual father and mother as well as coming from other regions of Gabon.
The support team
As initiates in the tradition, Coco and Tersius support you as Organisers. We guide and assist you before, during, and after your initiation and are available 24/7 via WhatsApp.
After studying embodied and psycho-spiritual paths, Coco was initiated into the Fang and Missoko branches of Bwiti. She later lived in Gabon to deepen her studies. Now living in South Africa, she continues to study Bwiti Fang Moumba Eyano and organise initiations in Africa.
Tersius is a musician and herbalist with 18 years of study in shamanic traditions, including the South African Igqirha lineage. He is initiated in Bwiti Missoko and Bwiti Fang. His work is rooted in traditional African wisdom, nature and sonic art. He has several years of experience with sacred wood and formally studies Bwiti Fang Mboumba Eyano.
About iboga
Iboga, also known as ‘sacred wood’ is a tree that grows in the rain forest of the Congo basin.
The root of the tree is used as a plant medicine for initiating people and healing in the Bwiti tradition.
The sacred wood has many properties for healing on the physical, energetic and spiritual levels. It has 12 alkaloids (one of which is ibogaine).
The sacred wood helps you open your perception to 'see' yourself, relationships, challenges and solutions, life and existence with a clarity and understanding. It's one of the many tools to raise your frequency to support lasting transformation. Visions with iboga are not always 'visual’.
Iboga is one of multiple tools used within Bwiti initiation to enable people to experience deep things in the spiritual world and come back to ordinary reality, changed.
The goal of a Bwiti initiation is about meeting the transformation and answers you seek — not to eat iboga.
While sacred wood is part of the journey, the most important key for real transformation is to put what you've learned into practice.
