The Bwiti tradition boasts several branches, each with its own distinct practices and beliefs. According to origin stories, it was women who first ventured into the realm of Iboga, initiating the exploration of its medicinal properties. Among these branches, the Mabanji, originating from the Dissumba, stands out as an all-female sect within the Bwiti community.

Their initiation ceremonies are shrouded in mystique, conducted deep within the lush jungles accessible only after a rigorous two-day journey. To receive initiation from the revered Babongo women, also known as pygmies, is considered a profound honor and privilege within this tradition.

Our mission is to extend these transformative voyages, offering extraordinary opportunities to women who feel drawn to this sacred offering. Such journeys not only facilitate personal growth but also foster a deeper understanding of the Babongo culture, paving the way for reciprocal relationships and sacred connections.
