How does Bwiti initiation + iboga help early life trauma and patterns?
+ traditional perspectives on money issues
One of my favourite things about traditional Bwiti Missoko initiation is talking to our mentor, Aténougha.
Before, during and after initiation, he's someone you can talk with to help decode what's going on for you. The experiences, the resistances, feelings, visions, questions...
I like that you're not alone with the journey.
In these online 'In the Bwenzé' talks, Aténougha answers questions from people who are searching for growth, healing, freedom and to know themselves.
Fear can feel paralyzing, especially when it’s rooted in early life experiences. Through the practice of traditional Bwiti initiation, we learn to confront these fears step by step, face our inner “devils,” and transform patterns of seeking love and validation externally into self-awareness and inner strength. Deep change requires clarity, courage, and the willingness to do the work.
When exploring the realms of healing material currents like money, it’s never just about the money: the process of healing involves facing deep childhood and embodied fears (ones we generally prefer to avoid) as well as understanding the energies behind money. Traditional Bwiti traditions offer tools to shift perspective, reclaim agency, and transform both inner and outer life. Step by step, we learn to face what holds us back and consciously shape the life we want.
Bwiti is not one thing: it’s a path, a mirror, a microscope, a constellation of wisdom. Facing deep-seated fears and exploring their roots through ritual can help you reclaim power, align with the universe, and step into a more conscious way of living.
If you have a question you'd love Aténougha's perspective on, just hit reply and let us know.
