In this episode, we welcome Levi Barker! Levi is an expert iboga provider that helps people heal with some of life's most difficult problems.

People come from all over the world to Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica to deal with problems of depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, substance addictions and non substance addictions. Iboga is a small shrub from West central Africa in the countries of Gabon, Cameroon and the Congo. Iboga has been used for centuries by indigenous people and more recently has made its way to the Western world. Levi's passion is to spread healing and the gift of iboga to whomever is called. Levi wants to give back for the many gifts he has received through iboga. One key aspect of this iboga work is the Bwiti tradition. Bwiti is the name for someone who works with iboga to heal. The Bwiti tradition focuses on universal truths of our life to guide us to living a full happy life. The Bwiti tradition is a set of tools we can draw on to guide us in life to making the right decisions for ourselves, self love, managing the mind and to give thanks for the most precious gift, our life. Levi has been featured on multiple podcasts and more recently on Bloomberg news as an expert iboga treatment provider.

In this episode, we welcome Natasja Pelgrom. Mel and Natasja deep dive on her journey in business, leadership, space-holding for psych-delic medicine ceremonies, slowing down to truly integrate, and so much more.

Natasja Pelgrom is a revered thought leader and accomplished executive who has made significant contributions to the fields of personal transformation and psychedelic-assisted care. As a sacred medicine woman, visionary leader, and consultant, Natasja integrates sacred wisdom into transformational programs, advises on research and wellness business initiatives, and mentors practitioners.

Renowned for her highly intuitive guidance, Natasja has played instrumental roles in over 1,000 psychedelic ceremonies, serving as a trainer, facilitator, and assistant. Since founding AWAKEN THE MEDICINE WITHIN Retreats in 2017 and the Eudaimonia Institute, a virtual education platform for personal and professional growth, she has dedicated her efforts to expanding the reach of behavioural change and human flourishing.

Natasja has also developed a facilitation method called Presence-Centered Leadership™, designed to help practitioners deepen their space-holding practice. This approach integrates principles from transpersonal practices, client-centered techniques, and situational leadership. Her multifaceted approach is further enriched by her extensive background, with over 20 years of experience as a serial entrepreneur.
