As global interest in ibogaine accelerates, the consequences are already being felt in Gabon.

Wild Iboga is disappearing, prices are rising, and traditional practitioners are losing access to a plant that has shaped spiritual and communal life for generations. And beyond the forest, inexperienced providers are beginning to offer powerful ceremonies without the training, accountability, or relationships that Bwiti leaders believe the...

But as scientific interest grew, so did difficult questions abo...

Gabonese practitioners and Bwiti initiates describe the preparation, community, music, mentorship, and lifelong practice that surround the medic...

In part two of our conversation with Soraya and her parents, Tasha and Safi, the family shares the extraordinary spiritual experiences that emerged as Soraya's health declined.

When Soraya was born, her parents knew something wasn’t right. What followed was years of medical uncertainty, countless specialists, and a diagnosis that never came.
