|We are currently in consultation with our Pygmy brothers and sisters to find out how they wish to approach the ceremonies and visits, but our basic idea looks something like this:
Estimated minimum suggested donation for individual ceremony: $2000
Group discounts apply.
If you are interested in just cultural exchange, let us know what type and duration so we can discuss an appropriate plan.
You must inform us of any special dietary requirements or other special needs so that we can determine if those can be met. Any medical issues (physical or mental) or dependencies should be communicated. Before taking a flood dose of iboga you should obtain a clear bill of health from your doctor with regard to liver, kidney, and heart function (especially QT interval should not be prolonged in EKG). The Pygmies are very far from electricity, medical centers, stores, and so forth.
You can find rules for entering Cameroon at: www.ivisa.com/cameroon-visa
The visa rules make it seem nearly impossible for some nationalities like Americans, but in truth, you can simply pay $300 or so to get a visa in this case if you know the right people -- just ask us for a referral.
Draft itinerary outline for ceremony:
Day 1: Travel from airport to the forest via the long mud road to meet the Pygmies. Assuming no difficulties with travel, this could be done in one day.
Day 2: Ancestor welcoming ritual: manifesting, learning, sharing.
Days 3-5: Iboga ceremony at a slow and safe pace to avoid medical issues.
Day 6-8: During the recovery period, participants will have the opportunity to learn about life in the forest and Pygmy traditions, as a kind of gentle rebirthing into nature.
Day 9: Travel back to the airport via the long mud road.

Our first ceremony is scheduled tentatively for early June 2022.

Cancellations two weeks or more before a ceremony are eligible for a 90% refund. Beyond that timeframe we can only refund 50% in case of cancellation.

Get in touch and let's make it happen!
