I have been telling the story of my experience in Costa Rica with iboga, a master plant teacher, from the Bwiti culture of West Africa. My story is given freely as an offering of love, to give information about a fairly obscure and unknown medicine, which happens to be a great ally for those of …
I started being picky about what I ate when I was about 16. I read the Omnivore's Dilemma and found out about factory farming, forever changing the course of my life. I was beyond shocked at the things I learned about my world. About what we do to animals to create "food". It was completely …
The story of my experience with the master plant teacher Iboga continues! In the final days of the last decade I had the great pleasure and blessing of visiting Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica. It's now been a little over a month since I left, and the ripple effect of my encounter with Iboga …
