In this episode, I walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to prepare for an Iboga ceremony (or any big psychedelic experience). Drawing from my own experience and preparation for my second Iboga journey, I share how to navigate the process leading up to your ceremony, including setting intentions, writing questions for Iboga, and connecting your healing work with the Seven Chakras.

I also talk about the importance of the energetic preparation and how to integrate emotional and psychological content as you get ready for this transformative experience. Whether you're new to psychedelics or preparing for another journey, this episode provides valuable insights to ensure you approach your ceremony with clarity and focus.


Key Topics:

  • Step 1: Answering the call: The moment you commit to your Iboga journey and what starts shifting energetically.
  • Step 2: Awareness of thoughts, emotions, and suppressed memories: How to notice triggers, unresolved relationships, and new desires as they surface in preparation.
  • Step 3: Setting energetic hygiene ground rules: How to ensure you're physically and mentally strong going into the ceremony.
  • Step 4: Identifying themes and narrowing focus: How to review your notes and identify major themes you're working on.
  • Step 5: Connecting themes to the Seven Chakras: A unique approach to aligning your work with the body’s power centers for deeper healing.
  • Step 6: Creating your list of questions and intentions for Iboga: How to craft open-ended questions that will guide you to the answers you seek during ceremony.
