Sometimes it’s easy to wonder what went wrong with our lives, looking around our world, seeing expressions of popular spirituality playing out on social media feeds in the forms of mantra- and affirmation-laden memes declaring “live your best life ever!”
But how different is your experience when you turn your phone off — and the illusion of connection and community is replaced with the world you actually live in?
For many of us who deal with the daily impact of past and/or current trauma, that’s when the walls close in…
Far from living your best life, do you sometimes experience anxiety or fear… guilt, shame, or self-blame… anger, irritability, or mood swings… the desire to withdraw from others… insomnia or nightmares… fatigue… being startled easily… or edginess and agitation?
This is just a short, but potent list of the interruptions to peace and regulation that you’re likely dealing with if you’re suffering from the impact of unresolved trauma — often overlooked and underdiagnosed because we all live in a society where trauma has become normalized.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
After decades of being dismissed, psychedelic medicines are becoming more accepted in the mainstream. Researchers are working with psychedelics that provide a new take on mental health conditions and can offer alternatives to address issues of unresolved trauma at a time when so many of us are seeking help.
For trauma ( addiction) in particular, the need for healing is greater than it’s ever been before. And Ibogaine (from a Central African shrub called ) is one of the most effective tools currently available to those who seek resolution to their suffering — given that it can pinpoint trauma within the body release it.
As a child in Cameroon, Africa, Dr. Marie Mbouni felt a call toward healing. Her journey began with Western medicine. After medical school, she became an anesthesiologist, hoping to bring the peace and healing she felt so called to.
Her drive was relentless and she built a career many would be proud of — but inside she felt unfulfilled. She had given up on personal relationships as well as her spiritual health — and her mind and body were paying for it.
Her quest for self-discovery led her to her true calling as a shaman in the Bwiti cultural tradition, energy healer, and mentor to others seeking a similar path to enlightenment. Dr. Marie has been working with Iboga since she was a child — beginning with a serendipitous sequence of events that involved her own mother’s health.
Bwiti, loosely translated as “School of Life,” is a spiritual discipline that has been practiced in equatorial Central West Africa for thousands of years. The sacred plant Iboga is central — as a sacrament, medicine, and teacher.
Dr. Marie is now widely sought after as a consultant and facilitator of sacred ceremonies with a variety of plant medicines, a psychedelic integration coach, and a microdosing coach.
Dr. Marie is a proponent of the plant and has a lot to teach us in the West, sparked by her own experience AND the scientific studies that have been conducted with Ibogaine and addiction. The science generally suggests that Ibogaine consumption is associated with reductions in opioid use — including complete abstinence — and has long-term positive psychological outcomes.
So, what can Iboga teach us about trauma, even if we never consume it directly? That is what Dr. Marie's course will show you in this unique exploration into the history, mystery, and science of this largely untapped resource in the conversation about psychedelic medicine. You’ll commune with the plant spirit of Iboga as Dr. Marie brings in the essence of the great continent of Africa itself.
Mental health disorders are one of the leading causes of disability in the world, affecting over a billion people, comprising a true crisis of “Deaths of Despair” DoD — with a significant loss of social cohesion, an extreme increase in isolation, and a disconnection from society — which extend across racial, ethnic, and gender groups, as well as geographic locations.
The global pandemic exacerbated these systemic failures. Excess mortality and morbidity from suicide, drug overdose, and alcoholism abound.
We owe it not only to ourselves to investigate and integrate what’s possible from this plant medicine — but also to the world, to raise awareness of this opportunity to help so many who are suffering in our world today.
In this 7-part transformational healing intensive, Dr. Marie guides you through deep and thorough explorations of the Iboga plant spirit from her African homeland — and how this powerful master plant medicine can heal the trauma that impacts so many in our world today.
This course features step-by-step teachings and experiential practices from Marie. Each session builds harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to liberate yourself from anxiety and fear… guilt, shame, and self-blame… anger, irritability, and the desire to withdraw from others… and much more. Your purchase includes 24/7 ongoing access to your course content, allowing you time to review the materials at your own pace and integration.

This course starts with the question: What is trauma? You’ll explore how it shows up in your life — when you don’t even realize how it’s driving certain patterns, creating self-fulfilling prophecies, and enabling new traumas and illnesses to occur. Dr. Marie recounts her first encounter with Iboga medicine as a girl of 14 — when she witnessed how it helped her mother heal from cancer. She then dives into the mythic ancient world of the Missoko Bwiti and the Bobongo ancestors of Africa, sharing a love story of coevolution — the origin story of Iboga called The Tree of Life and the Fruit of Knowledge.
And you’ll experience and learn a process to regulate your nervous system on the spot to reduce stress and anxiety — by cultivating a sense of belonging in your nervous system and a sense of safety in your body.
In this session, you’ll:

Trauma convinces you that you’re all alone and nobody cares about you — and many who’ve been traumatized have a sense of being dissociated and lost, with parts of themselves being trapped, fragmented, and dispersed to the farthest reaches of their inner space. And your greatest obstacle in finding and retrieving these multitudinous drops of You is… noise.
Stillness is the new luxury. You can’t hear the Spirit within when you’re surrounded by noise. The instruments that are used in Bwiti are designed to get us into an altered/open state in order to receive.
In this deep and centering module, you’ll cultivate reverence for the present moment — so you can move through the inward and outward distractions that pull you away from the space where you can be you, connect, and have silence. Then… the plant medicine can speak to you.
In this session, you’ll:

Trauma creates an imprint on our nervous system from an intense and overwhelming negative experience to which we were unable to properly respond emotionally, physically, and/or psychologically. This leads to psychological rigidity and can put you out of touch with reality — potentially feeling trapped within your mind and unable to escape negative, ruminative thought loops. Negative beliefs about yourself can persist — even with conflicting supportive feedback from people in your life who care about you.
The antidote to psychological rigidity is psychological flexibility. In this module, you’ll explore the effects that Iboga can induce psychologically, and in the physical brain for healing and lasting change… becoming more self-aware and experiencing more self-acceptance… and reclaiming the power of choice.
In this session, you’ll:

In this deepening module, you’ll dive into forming a real understanding of the experience of the Iboga journey. You’ll learn about the Iboga “life review” — where you face your fears in a way that can catalyze massive life changes and interrupt self-destructive patterns. During the Iboga ceremony, visions have a unique nature — and everything shown is significant.
Our traumas sometimes make us avoid or hide from the truth — or even lie to ourselves. Iboga teaches us how to build a relationship with the parts that are beckoning us for acknowledgment — and let go of what is not the real you.
In this session, you’ll:

As your journey continues, you’ll come to understand the true purpose of Iboga, which is furthering the evolution of humanity through spiritual initiation and physical healing. Traditional wisdom and Indigenous cultures understand that healing does not happen in a vacuum. In this module, you’ll travel (virtually) to the land of Africa and learn about Iboga’s habitat — discovering the history and the lineage of the medicine — and connecting to its complex and yet sensitive nature.
Many of us are deeply sensitive and are holding onto trauma that isn't even ours. We also have genetic and spiritual imprints of trauma in our family lines. This is something we've all inherited and it's each of our chance to acknowledge, heal, and release it — for our collective happiness and for future generations. We can experience the benefits of community celebrations and ceremonies, as well as communication with nature and nature spirits. Go to the past (or future) life journey and begin this healing process for yourself!
In this session, you’ll:

As we move in our modern world, we can benefit from the wisdom of the ancients — and we, in turn, can become the well ancestors of the future. In this module, you’ll be introduced to the Bwiti way, which is a tradition — not a religion — based in Central West Africa: Gabon, Cameroon, and Republic of Congo, and composed of three distinct branches: Dissumba, Missoko, Fang.
You’ll take a journey into the temple walls where sacred ceremonies and rituals take place — exploring how the teachings of Bwiti (which are non-dogmatic in nature and deeply reverent of Universal Truth) can enrich our lives. You’ll dive into deep inquiry to explore the Traditional African uses of the medicine of Iboga and the ways in which learning these ancient technologies from Iboga can benefit the modern world.
In this session, you’ll:

Love is the most powerful energy for healing and integration.

The hallmark of healing trauma is integration and connection. You will look into the future and plan your life through soul-aligned creativity — becoming vehicles for the divine to flow through us. From that space, your life will start to flow with soul-aligned performance and harmonious relationships.
