This is traditional Bwiti Missoko initiation by a consecrated Nganga (spiritual father).
Over ten days, you’re guided through traditional rituals and tools to purify, 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 Missoko Ngonde/Maboundi branch.

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.
