⁣Traditional healing has been a go-to therapy in Africa before the West(north) introduced its medicinal practice on the continent. In South Africa, there are traditional healers called Sangomas, and they are called by spirits of ancestors to be healers.

⁣BANDZIS, NGANGAS, AND NIMAS. Bandzi is the name given to a person being initiated
into Bwiti, or who has already been initiated but does not really follow the tradition in their
daily life. In the initiation, the Bandzis will meet their kombo, the spiritual entity that accompanies them. When Bandzis integrate their kombo into their daily life, they become Ngangas. In Gabon, the Nganga is someone who is not only initiated in Bwiti but also practices
it daily. A Nganga is someone who applies the knowledge of Bwiti in their life, work, music,
and teachings. They are prophets, healers. It is the Nima, however, who has the knowledge
and authority to train and anoint Ngangas, and it is in Nimas that the gift of initiation and
knowledge of healing lies. The Nima is the spiritual leader of the village. Becoming a Nima,
or even a Nganga, is a lengthy process that can take several years of study and practice.
The process includes structured learning in several areas of traditional science, such as initiations, healings, natural pharmacopeia, and spiritual help to humanity. The role of a Nima
carries great responsibility. It is not only about knowing the physical and spiritual dimensions
of iboga but includes holding the knowledge and practices of healing plants, as well as the
process for becoming a traditional therapist.
You can’t initiate other people without knowing the elements. It is important because when you
do a consultation you have in front of you someone who comes with serious problems… If you
don’t know the herbs, the procedures, you’re not going to do a good detoxification treatment.
You can’t make the necessary leap. You can’t hunt the black snake and so on. When people
come with all these problems, you need to have learned how to solve them. [E4-Maman D_34:08]

⁣Darren will share his research that looks at the important historical and current events that have impacted and shaped the lives of African people in the diaspora. He will provide insight into some of traumatic experiences that we as the current generations inherit and how it affects us today.

Exploring some of the healing modalities accessible through rites of passage which include the use of entheogenic plants, Darren will highlight some ground breaking research that supports these activities as a way to start the healing process.

With the renaissance gaining momentum, how do we ensure that all people across the world, from all backgrounds, are represented at the table and consulted about the future applications of these psychedelic experiences?
