i’m currently reading Breaking Open the Head by Daniel Pinchbeck in which he details his experience with igboga
“Iboga did not show me much of the African spiritual cosmos, but it revealed my own inner world. For a few hours I was granted a powerful lens through which I could see my life-that complex assemblage of habits, moods, past events, and relationships-like a constellation through a telescope.”
a very intense experience for him, as he participated in a Bwiti initiation ceremony with a rather large and nasty man presiding over his experience…if i did this, i think i’d much prefer a familiar surrounding with someone i love close to me to sort of watch over everything…the trip of iboga can last up to 20 hours…not time you want to spend in a freaky place with freaky people
