We’ve been there too.

We know this can help.

The concept of Ibogacare was born in 2017, after Andreas began his journey to freedom.

Depressed, suicidal and alcoholic. Successful on the outside but completely empty on the inside, Andreas lay in bed in a dark room for five days, choosing between life and death, when Andreas finally chose life, he could see the spirit of alcohol leaving.

He understood: “Shit, there is another world here” and started to search for the truth.

Trained under 10th Generation Shaman Moughenda in the jungle of Gabon, Andreas was approved by the Spirit of Iboga and the Missoko Bwiti tradition to work with iboga and was given the Bwiti name Ikalu.

Andreas wrote these goals for himself, and having successfully checked them all off with the help of iboga:

  • I am really tired of being confused, so I have received explanations of who I am. So I do not have to go around thinking, I just know.
  • I have unlocked everything that is holding me back.
  • My “buzz” in my head is gone.
  • I live from the Infinite Being perspective instead of the EGO mind perspective.
  • I know exactly what to do with my life purpose.
  • I live in complete faith. I have nothing to worry about.
  • I can serve humanity.
 Survival mode is over and I have shifted to living in gratitude and love.
  • I am open and receptive to other people and I just walk around and shine.

About the teacher and mentor

Moughenda is a 10th generation Shaman of the Missoko Bwiti tradition, based in Gabon, Africa. Immersed in this tradition since birth, he began formal training with his grandfather, a 9th generation Shaman, at age 8. After twenty years of rigorous training and four major initiations, he became a Bwiti Shaman. He then worked alongside his grandfather for another decade.

Moughenda Mikala stands as the first Bwiti shaman to open this ancient tradition to the world. By developing a groundbreaking system that integrates Bwiti shamanic practices with Western psychological needs, Moughenda has created a unique pathway to healing and spiritual growth.
