About the Bwiti Tradition
The Bwiti Tradition originates from the Pygmies in the forests of the Congo River basin. It comes from the Primordial Tradition, the universal knowledge from which all spiritual traditions of humanity originate.
The Bwiti Tradition is made of a series of ancestral mystico-spiritual initiation rites, using the root of the sacred iboga tree. It allows the initiate to enter other fields of consciousness and to navigate them in spirit accompanied by the sound of a sacred instrument and songs, which act as a guiding thread in this journey within. These experiences bring visions, experiences, and knowledge.

About the NYma (shaman)
In Gabon, we collaborate with multiple highly regarded Bwiti Masters. For this initiation, the Nima, a very experienced elder from the lineage of the late Bwiti Master Atome Ribenga, will guide you through the very profound journey of self-discovery and healing.
