Healing and ancestral knowledge and healing through Iboga.  Chor Boogie, a renowned spray paint artist and ordained Nganga in the Bwiti tradition, joins us on this episode of Plantscendence to talk about his work as an iboga healer in Costa Rica, and the sinuous path that got him there. Chor reflects humorously on his early psychedelic experiences, including a trip to Disneyland on LSD, and traces his journey from the world of graffiti art to that of plant medicine, which includes a decade of study and service in Gabon, Central West Africa. He describes how iboga helped him break free from addictive patterns – which he equates to “30 years of therapy” – and eventually reconnect with his ancestral roots. Chor addresses both the dangers and possibilities posed by Western medicine’s piquing interest in iboga, and emphasizes the importance of respecting and preserving indigenous practices amidst the backdrop of globalization.
