The Bwiti Iboga Initiation with Blair Bliss

  • Summary

  • In this Mocktails and Mushrooms Podcast episode, we speak with Blair Bliss shortly after her trip to Gabon Africa. Blair was initiated by the Bwiti Tribe in Iboga. Jimmy and Ashley talk to Blair her trip of a lifetime.

    Here is a summary of the key points from the podcast transcript:

    - The guest is Blair Bliss, who was recently initiated into the Bwiti tradition in Africa through the sacred medicine iboga.

    - Iboga is a shrub found in Central West Africa. Ibogaine is the pharmaceutical version made from iboga.

    - Blair first felt called to work with iboga after an ayahuasca experience told her she was meant to work with this medicine.

    - Blair and her brother went to an iboga retreat in Costa Rica to help treat his crack addiction. The medicine brought them back to their "pre-addictive state."

    - Blair later got the chance to be initiated into the Bwiti tribe in Gabon, Africa. She was part of the first group of Westerners to be initiated by this particular shaman and village.

    - The initiation involved ceremonial dances, music, vomiting medicine, smoke purifications, ancestor honoring, psychedelic mirror work, and 48+ hours in ceremony consuming iboga.

    - Iboga provides energy, stamina, truth, and healing. It "rewires" the brain and nervous system.

    - Blair sees iboga as her medicine and feels called to start a Bwiti church in Colorado. She aims to spread access to this healing medicine.

    Blair's transformative personal experience with iboga in Africa, traditional Bwiti practices, and the potential of this medicine as a treatment, while emphasizing the importance of responsible use and regulation.
