In this episode of Get to the Root, I sit down with Ryan “Ghenigho” Rich—founder of Root Healing and Basse Root—as we explore our shared involvement in the upcoming Iboga Leadership Summit in Gabon.

We speak candidly about Missoko Bwiti Iboga work, and what it truly means to bring this ancient spiritual tradition into Western contexts without losing its depth, integrity, or lineage. This conversation goes beyond surface-level interest in plant medicine and into the responsibility of cultural respect, proper training, and ethical translation.

We also discuss the need for deeper dialogue between indigenous wisdom holders and Western medical and scientific communities—because the real healing potential of Iboga emerges when tradition, safety, and modern understanding are in right relationship.

This is a grounded conversation about truth, responsibility, and the future of Iboga work in the world.
