Bwiti House Reviews
In May of this year, I spent 8 weeks in Moughenda's village for my provider training. This was the most transformative experience of my life! From the moment I landed they had someone pick me up from the airport and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The village itself exceeded my expectations. I had a very comfortable bedroom and the food was amazing! All of the staff were friendly, and I immediately knew that I…
I did the 2 week iboga and Bwiti initiation in Gabon with Moughenda and it was definitely a life changing experience! It’s best that people don’t hear too many details of others iboga experience because everyone’s will be so different so I will just stick to my experience at the retreat and facility! First of all it is 100% safe! I traveled alone, they will have a driver to pick you up from the airport and take you t…
Moughenda’s village will forever live in my heart, and the Bwiti teachings will stay with me for the rest of my life. If you’re truly looking to understand yourself and heal old wounds, this is the place. But if you’re just coming to “trip” on iboga, this isn’t it. This is a place to find your center, your truth, and your purpose. The people here will always feel like family to me. I’ve made lifelong friends, and I’l…
The retreat fell well short of my expectations. The village is not a traditional village, rather a beside the highway compound. While the food, staff, and preparatory activities were good, 3 out of 4 ceremonies were micro-doses of iboga, and the fourth and final initiation is what I would call a threshold dose. After the time, effort, and resources spent going all the way to Gabon, I left disappointed to have only…
Retreat Review: Moughenda’s Village, Gabon I recently had the honor of spending time at Moughenda’s Village in Gabon, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. From the moment my daughter and I arrived, we were welcomed not as visitors, but as family. The care, organization, and devotion of everyone involved were remarkable. Papa Moughenda, the medicine men, the providers, and even the chef and staff moved with…
Training under the supervision and guidance of Moughenda was the most powerful training and personal healing journey of my life time. I’ve spent 38 years studying & practicing natural medicine. I’m still undertaking courses in this field and nothing has come close to the depth of the knowledge Moughenda shares. Along with the kindness and care the village offers. The openness of sharing ancient traditions & teaching…
My son and I had an incredibly profound and life-changing experience. The foundation here, deeply rooted in the Bwiti teachings , is extraordinary—filled with authenticity, wisdom, and love. I’ve never felt more at home. My healing journey has come full circle, and I am beyond grateful to have found Moughenda’s village and the beautiful, warm-hearted staff who make this place so special. Thank you from the bottom of…
10/10. This is the place to come for a genuine experience. I can’t speak highly enough about the 2 weeks I spent in Moughenda’s village where I learned the real meaning of peace and relaxation. From the moment you arrive in Gabon, Moughenda and his crew take care of you. The food is incredible, the staff are friendly and accommodating and the village is truly beautiful. I felt safe and supported throughout my stay. M…
