What is Ngonde?

Hi, I'm Noah, I started Ngonde due to the life-saving impact Iboga had on both my mother and me. At the time, my mother was burdened by severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks, as well as addiction to cigarettes and alcohol. It's doubtful she would have survived another two years.

 Meanwhile, I was grappling with the aftermath of psychedelic overuse, teetering on the edge of mild schizophrenia. With Western medicine falling short, we embarked on a fated journey to Panama, where we crossed paths with Tembo and Mudanga.

 In a single night, their Iboga ceremony accomplished what seemed impossible: my mother's complete liberation from addiction, alignment with her soul's purpose, and the eradication of her anxiety and panic attacks. As for me, I underwent a profound personal transformation and was graciously invited to delve deeper into the healing power of Iboga.

To this day, my mother and I are living testaments to healing, embracing health, happiness, and pursuing our life's true purpose. My love for Iboga, the Bwiti tradition, and the incredible family that facilitated my healing knows no bounds. Each day, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I have regained my beloved mother, and I have reclaimed my life.

Presently, I collaborate with and learn from Tembo and Mudanga, as they have assisted me in discovering my true self—the very essence I have sought throughout my entire existence. I want to help others find that too, as we all deserve it, and without it, we are not truly living or awake. This is the driving force behind the creation of Ngonde.
