Ep. 27 - Tatayo - Ebando: Iboga, Bwiti, & Gabon

Hey everybody! Episode 27 of the show is out. In this show, I spoke Tatayo. I have known about Tatayo for a number of years as we share mutual friends and he comes from the same tradition that I worked with iboga with. He was called to Gabon and to iboga over forty years ago where he has been living and working ever since. It was an honor to talk to someone with so much experience working with such a powerful plant and a pleasure to hear him speak about his life, iboga, and his experiences and thoughts on Gabon and life. We spoke for almost three hours and it was a fascinating conversation and one of my favorites. I hope and think you all will get a lot out of this conversation. And a big thanks to Debbie Rivet for helping to organize and make this interview happen. To view bonus material and extended conversations, check out my Patreon page below. Enjoy! For more information on Tatayo and his work, visit his website at: http://ebando.org/ Also, Tatayo is offering online consultations and guidance for those interested in working with the Sacred Wood in Gabon. Contact him at: [email protected] If you enjoy the show, it would be a big help if you could share it with your own audiences via social media or word of mouth.
