Collaborative Approach Statement:
Together, our team creates a balanced facilitation experience that honors both masculine and feminine healing energies. Our complementary skills and experiences allow us to hold a container that's simultaneously strong and permeable, structured and responsive.
What unites us is a shared conviction that plant medicines, when approached with respect and proper support, offer unique possibilities for healing and transformation that are particularly relevant to our disconnected modern world. Through Medicine Spirit, we seek to make these possibilities accessible to those who feel called to this path of deep remembering.
Sacred Medicines
Iboga Introduction:
Iboga (Tabernanthe iboga) is a powerful plant medicine native to Central West Africa, particularly Gabon, where it has been used in traditional Bwiti spiritual ceremonies for centuries. At Medicine Spirit, we work with this sacred plant with deep respect for its traditional roots while creating accessible contexts for modern seekers.
The medicine works with our nervous system and consciousness in unique ways, often described as providing access to a waking dreamstate where profound insights, emotional processing, and spiritual connection can occur. Many participants report experiencing clarity about life patterns, release of limiting beliefs, and reconnection with deeper purpose.
Our Iboga is ethically and sustainably sourced through direct relationships with traditional providers in Gabon. We are committed to fair compensation practices and supporting conservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of this sacred plant.
Beyond Iboga, our retreats incorporate complementary ceremonial practices including sacred pipe ceremony, water blessing, spiritual cleansing rituals, and sweat lodge (temascal) experiences. These additional elements help create a holistic container for transformation and healing.
Our Commitment to Reciprocity
At Medicine Spirit, we understand that the medicines and traditions we work with are not commodities but gifts from specific cultures, communities, and ecosystems. Our practice of reciprocity acknowledges this debt of gratitude and seeks to give back in meaningful ways.
Our approach to reciprocity is not static but evolving through ongoing dialogue, relationship, and commitment. We recognize that true reciprocity goes beyond financial transactions to include relationship, respect, and responsibility.
