Life is an illusion, a very real one that we creating. How can we find a way to look at ourselves, the processes of our mind without judgement and the layers of conditioning that life brings? We create layers of camouflage that we can no longer see and from this comes dis ease (emotional and physical) & we see no way out because our mind has become rigid.
"And yet that is what most of us want—to find a secure place in our ways of thinking. We want to pursue a set pattern and be undisturbed in our thoughts, in our actions. But it is only the mind that is capable of patiently observing its own conditioning and being free from its conditioning—it is only such a mind that is able to have a revolution, a radical transformation, and thereby to discover that which is infinitely beyond the mind, beyond all our desires, our vanities and pursuits. Without self-knowledge, without knowing oneself as one is—not as one would like to be, which is merely an illusion, an idealistic escape—without knowing the ways of one’s thinking, all one’s motives, one’s thoughts, one’s innumerable responses, it is not possible to understand and go beyond this whole process of thinking." (from "As One Is: To Free the Mind from All Condition: To Free the Mind from All Conditioning" by Jiddu Krishnamurti)
When we see past the illusion we have created, what do we find? Truth, a direct soul connection, true creativity, an ability to change and to heal - this is the process of Iboga The Bwiti in Gabon know of these processes, that is why they are the protectors of Iboga. Creation is universal knowledge attainable for all of those that are ready for change, to do the work. These processes do not need to be understood intellectually, they need to be experienced to become real, with Iboga this can be done.

Iboga is a state of being. It is everything and through the connection that Iboga provides, you will naturally heal yourself through freedom of thought. Iboga should not be defined, for in doing so, we will limit the efficacy of the plant.
Let us start at the point of influence to come to Iboga. Why does someone come to Iboga? There is always a reason and behind that reason, if you investigate far enough there will be pain, guilt, fear, doubt, or sorrow. We are conditioned. You have a problem and are experiencing a problem. This is fragmentary and in conflict with your environment. Do not define the problem and fragment more. You are reacting to your thought, that is not relating to what things truly are. Emotions are intricately linked to our memories, we create a web. But back at the core, without the conditioning, there was just a feeling, an experience which was then defined and constrained and we say "it is this emotion we call XXXX". If we want to understand Iboga delivered within the Bwete tradition as best we can, we must understand that nothing we look at is what we think, that is a condition.
What Iboga truly is an infinite connection to every other component, the artform cannot be studied or practiced, systemized. It is not a medicine, it is a connection to God, Universality, The Whole, All That Is, The One, Consciousness, or Soul. It just IS. remove conditioning, go through the mind. With Iboga you become what you are in actuality.
Be spontaneous, leave your fears behind and come to Costa Rica.to experience Iboga as it is intended. Our Nganga Kuma Bwenze has been trained in one of the original branches of Bwete called Miobe. He is the only western man trained in Miobe The Miobe Nganga uses the plants in forest to assist the patients in healing states of dis ease caused from unbalanced thinking. Iboga is one of many plants that we use in our retreats.

Bwete is the reflection of God. It is not a system, it is whole and a spirituality in true vernacular. Spirituality being the only omnipresent representation one can experience.
Bwete is therefore life in all of its manifestations. It is our knowing of our action, our realisation and truth beyond thought which is fragmentary and exists in religiosity.
Bwete is not bwiti. Selling Iboga is not Bwete. Living a material life in sin is not being a Nganga. Nothing in the west today is anywhere near worthy of appropriating Bwete. You cannot study Bwete, you live Bwete. It is not Iboga, it is not ceremony. To realise your wholeness which is your only correction, you need people living Bwete.
My life as a Miobe Nganga is to do Gods will in all facets of my life without contradiction. Only from here am I worthy to study and learn, under masters, the true tradition from the only unadulterated Bwete derived of the first nations Babongo. First I eat, sleep, work and therefore spiritualise my entire being to be as clean as possible in servitude, to ensure to those who are sick that there is a way out.
Miobe Nganga hold the complete knowledge of the forest and the psychological prowess required to diagnose the sick.
Come to wholeness. Come to being. Come to your natural state by the only way possible, by the hands of those that represent exemplary cleanliness of mind and body to ensure the exchange of healing spiritual force.

Iboga is a spiritual tool. It is life itself. People in the west seek Iboga to heal. When you are ready and if you are spiritually clean, you can use Iboga to explore the nature of your being
"Learn to Experience what you are" for there is no thing more rewarding than knowing thyself.
"Now: I want to emphasize again that while all this sounds difficult in the telling, it becomes much more clear intuitively when you learn to experience what you are, for if you cannot travel inside your physical body to find your identity, you can travel through your psychological self. There are far more wonders to perceive through this inward exploration than you can possibly believe until you begin such a journey for yourself. You are a soul; you are a particular manifestation of a soul, and it is sheer nonsense to think that you must remain ignorant of the nature of your own being. You may not be able to put your knowledge clearly into words, but this will in no way negate the value or the validity of the experience that will be yours once you begin to look inward. Now you may call this a spiritual or psychological or psychic exploration, as you prefer. You will not be trying to find your soul. In that respect there is nothing to find. It is not lost, and you are not lost. The words you use may make no difference, but your intent does indeed." - Session 529 Chapter 6 - The Soul and the Nature of its Perception, Seth Speaks "The Eternal Validity of the Soul"
This book and my experiences with Iboga are inextricably linked. If you seek true understanding of the self and your own physical existence read it and the "Nature of Personal Reality" @sethcenter https://sethcenter.com Then come to Iboga, use this divinely inspired tool, and explore your psychological layers, connect to your inner self, and remove the blockages that are currently invisible, to find the reality that we are all part of the same whole, all that is, Teta Nzambe. This is the celestial knowledge that belongs to us all! Miobe Mingongo! Such beauty.

Bwekayé ! The vision ceremony. At Mboka A Nzambe, King Adumangana cleanses Jamie with fire so that he can enter into communion with Nzambe Kana, the Creator God, master of time and circumstances.

Today Jamie landed in Gabon. He was invited to visit the Universal Village of God "Mboka A Nzambe". He will meet his friends and spiritual teachers, to learn tradition and philosophy. This is not about Iboga, It is about connection to self and a true spirituality that emerges only when universal understandings and philosophies are applied without conditioning.

By Teta Nzambe Kanas will we find ourselves closer to God through his majesty King Adumanganas teaching.
Thank you to his grace and Gods Village for welcoming me into the family of healers. For this i am eternally grateful.
Our devotion to the service of brotherhood of man through true Bwete is our dedication to the delivery of true Bwete teaching to the west.
The recognition of the first peoples of Gabon, the Babongo, is integral and this will be fulfilled.
To my new sisters, Mbiambie!
Ikara returns to the marginalised first peoples and we earn our lessons through our devotion to God.
True Bwete through strong lineage that bridges the western world to the first peoples of Iboga.
Grace to god!

GOOD NEWS!! Starting 1st April 2022! it will be even easier to enter Costa Rica, please read below.
We will be back home hosting retreats in Costa Rica in July 2022
- 4th to 8th July 2022
- 11th to 15th July 2022
There are many countries that offer direct flights to Costa Rica including but not limited to Canada, United States, Germany, Switzerland, France, UK, France, Spain, the Netherlands and of course many South American Countries.
Costa Rica has always welcome vaccinated and non-vaccinated travelers. Starting 1st April 2022, the temporary immigration measures for entering Costa Rica – put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic – are repealed. This eliminates the requirement to complete the epidemiological form known as the Health Pass and the requirement of medical insurance for unvaccinated foreigners.
Costa Rica does not require a COVID test for entry either!
One of our favourite aspects of Costa Rica, is the abundance of wildlife. This is a spider monkey we saw in Cabo Matapalo. What a face!
