Marie Mbouni – Spiritual Healing Lessons From Iboga

Description Of Spiritual Healing Lessons From Iboga

A Western medical doctor turned shamanic healer guides you through deep, thorough explorations of the Iboga plant spirit from her African homeland — and shares how this powerful master plant medicine can guide us in emotional detoxification to cultivate self-acceptance, find inner peace, and heal trauma.

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 (and addiction) in particular, the need for healing is greater than it’s ever been before. And Ibogaine (from a Central African shrub called Tabernanthe Iboga) 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 and 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.

What you’ll learn in Spiritual Healing Lessons From Iboga

Through this modern window into ancient knowledge, you’ll:

• Learn the traditional African origin story of Iboga
• Discover how Iboga can heal through Dr. Marie’s personal testimonial and the current story that science can tell
• Explore the nature of trauma and how it reoccurs as patterns in life
• Understand the depths and complexity of our society’s trauma matrix, with mental health disorders as one of the leading causes of disability in the world
• Practice being present — and tuning in to your senses as a sacred gateway through which the plant medicine can speak to you
• Experience a soul retrieval process — with the spirit of Iboga as an ally — to reconnect to yourself and Source

• And much more!

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 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.

What You’ll Discover in Spiritual Healing Lessons From Iboga

In this Spiritual Healing Lessons From Iboga course, Dr. Marie will guide 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.

Module 1: Discover Iboga & How It Helps You Heal From Trauma With New Clarity to Give You Hope (November 29)

We start 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 will recount her first encounter with Iboga medicine as a girl of 14 — when she witnessed how it helped her mother heal from cancer. She’ll then dive 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:

• Learn the traditional African origin story of Iboga
• Discover how Iboga can heal through Dr. Marie’s personal testimonial and the current story that science can tell
• Explore the nature of trauma and how it reoccurs as patterns in life
• Understand the depths and complexity of our society’s trauma matrix, with mental health disorders as one of the leading causes of disability in the world
• Learn how to regulate your nervous system for a sense of release and of heaviness leaving your body — enabling you to receive clarity, relaxation, hope, confidence, and a sense of peace within

Module 2: Become Present to Your Senses for Embodied Preparation of Healing Trauma (December 6)

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:

• Explore how trauma can take you out of your own life — driving the need to reclaim parts of yourself you lost or abandoned through trauma
• Understand how Iboga, acting as a sentient teacher, instructs that trauma doesn’t allow you to be present — and you’ll hear Dr. Marie’s story of how Iboga taught her about presence
• Practice being present — and tuning in to your senses as a sacred gateway through which the plant medicine can speak to you
• Explore the benefits of music to help you reconnect to your sense of hearing — while experiencing stillness
• Experience a soul retrieval process — with the Spirit of Iboga as an ally — to reconnect to yourself and Source

Module 3: Discover the Neurobiological Effects of Iboga for Self-Acceptance to Reclaim Your Power to Choose (December 13)

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:

• Discover how Iboga disrupts the brain activity in the default mode network to heal the emotional, physical, and psychological effects of trauma
• Learn how Iboga works in the brain as an antidote to psychological rigidity — and what it teaches about the power of choice
• Understand why Iboga is able to show you important truths about yourself
• Explore the difference between placebo effect and the actual energetic effect that is proper to Iboga’s psychedelic interface
• Experience a guided future-self activation meditation and healing session

Module 4: Explore the Elements of an Iboga Ceremony to Purge Your False Beliefs & Rewrite Your Life Story With Truth (January 3)

In this deepening module, we’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:

• Refine your sense of the internal state of your body — so it can become a gateway for connection to your Self and Source
• Reimagine and rewrite your life story — becoming a co-creator of your own healing
• Explore how Iboga helps you discover and accept your truth
• Discover your unique wheel of inner truth
• Experience a vortex-alignment guided healing session — an energetic invitation to make the choice to align with the Truth within; all of the beauty, all of the love, and all of the joy that is available to you, as you make the choice to step into whatever timeline you most align with

Module 5: Discover Traditional Uses of Iboga & Multidimensional Healing for Trusting Your True Self to Release Burdens (January 10)

As we continue our journey, 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:

• Understand the power of decluttering your energy and spirit — as well as bringing balance to your entire life
• Discover the importance of safety in our practices and ways of being
• Learn the power of community and celebration in the healing process
• Understand spiritual and psychological dangers when you’re on a healing path
• Experience a timeline, ancestral, and generational healing journey

Module 6: Merge Ancient Sacred Technologies of Iboga With the Modern World for a Joyful, Fulfilling Life (January 17)

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:

• Step fully onto the path of becoming a well ancestor of your own future
• Explore how to honor the sacred walls of your temple (your body) and unlock your 5 superpowers for a joyful and fulfilling life
• Discover how to become a keeper of your own traditions
• Learn how ancient technologies received from Iboga can benefit the modern world
• Experience a guided meditation on the joy and freedom codes to transmute the 5 wounds of the heart

Module 7: Discover the One-Law Ancient Secret of Iboga to Heal Your Soul for Ultimate Self-Love (January 24)

Love is the most powerful energy for healing and integration.
— Dr. Marie Mbouni
The greatest teaching of Iboga is the “One Law,” which is that love is the medicine; love is the teacher. In this module, you’ll unite your heart and intentions to create a pathway for your journey home to your integrated self.

The hallmark of healing trauma is integration and connection. We will together look into the future and plan our lives 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.

In this session, you’ll:

• Discover how to connect deeply with nature and its wisdom
• Activate your infinite Source potential
• Learn how to heal your relationships with the teachings of Iboga
• Explore how to become a student of the master teachings of Love
• Experience a journey into Embodied Integration — stepping into divine neutrality, the All-That-Is, the zero-point connection field within and around you
