A Woman’s Perspective of Bwiti Missoko Initiation
There are a couple of moments we come together in very unique and important rituals, but most of the journey is done among your sisters and brothers, respectively.
The experience is different...
In this conversation with Rheanna, a recent initiate, we hear about her experience of the Bwiti Missoko initiation.
Rheanna and Coco (@Bwiti.Calling) explore questions like...
How did you know that this was the right experience for you?
How did the many elements/medicines (rituals, music, structure, physicality, community, forest, Africa) of Bwiti initiation affect you compared with iboga itself?
What surprised you about how the initiation unfolded? Were there moments that felt particularly challenging or confronting?
What do you think made the difference between 'having an experience' and something that really shifted you?
What have you noticed has changed in you since initiation?
Was there a moment that stayed with you in a lasting way?
What was it like to do as a woman?
