“BWITI MISSOKO INITIATION” GABON, CENTRAL AFRICA
Become a spiritual warrior (for men and women)
7-17 June, 2026
The Bwiti Missoko initiation of Gabon transmits ancient spiritual knowledge and traditional healing arts. It is a path of entering sacred science and becoming a Nganga, one who works with mystico-spiritual forces.
Through initiation, the initiate awakens a deeper connection with self, the subtle realms, and the living Universe. Rooted in the elements of the Earth and expanding toward the cosmos, Bwiti Missoko reveals the mystery of life and death itself. The journey is active and demanding — obstacles must be faced and overcome to attain true results.
During this process, the science of nature, the spiritual world, and vibration work together to help you reconnect with your true essence and purpose, release past trauma and self-limiting beliefs, clear energetic blockages, and heal relationships with yourself and others. It supports overcoming addictions, generational and ancestral healing, emotional detox, deep self-love, forgiveness, peace, clarity, and the restoration of balance across mind, body, and spirit.
About the Bwiti MISSOKO INITIATION
The Bwiti Tradition originates from the Pygmy peoples of the Congo River basin forests. It is part of the Primordial Tradition, the universal knowledge from which all spiritual traditions of humanity originate.
Bwiti Missoko initiation consists of ancestral mystico-spiritual rites that use sacred medicines from the equatorial forest for purification and awakening.
The initiation helps the candidate connect more deeply with themselves, the subtle realms, and the Universe. Bwiti Missoko is rooted first in the elemental forces of the Earth and then in the greater cosmic field, accessed through you. Through this initiation, a person begins to feel the presence of life in everything—both within and around them.
It is a warrior-like initiation, designed differently for men and women. You will have to go through the rituals of “death” and “resurrection” to activate your inner force.
Throughout the initiation, the candidate enters a special state of receptivity, allowing the Knowledge to arrive in many possible ways—through visions, realizations, ritual movement, or the words and presence of others. This is a time for releasing, healing, discovering, and receiving whatever you came for. Each person’s experience is unique, shaped by their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual constitution.
The spiritual father (Nganga) and elders guide every step of the process, overseeing the ritual. After the initiation, you will have private time with a Nganga to receive deeper insights into the Bwiti Tradition and to help interpret and understand your experience.
