Iboga: Bridge To The Divine - A Panel Discussion

What the Oxford Psychedelic Society have to say about their event:

Native to Central Africa, the iboga shrub is a powerful vehicle for spiritual insight, as well as a potentially effective antidote for opioid addiction. It is an essential tool in the Bwiti spiritual tradition of Gabon, where it has been consumed for rite of passage ceremonies and mystical initiation rites.

This event is a panel discussion with Nima (shaman) Gregory Puente, who encountered the Bwiti tradition in 1999 in a small village in Gabon. After some initiations, it became clear to him that the Tradition was a real School of Divine Mystery. He received the calling to study the Tradition and moved to Gabon to dedicate himself to his formation. He stayed by the side of Master Atome Ribenga for 11 years as a Nima student in the Mboumba Eyano branch. On the 28th of December 2013, he was consecrated by his master as Nima in this branch. Since 2014 he has been working on his mission to help human beings to know themselves, initiating, healing and serving as a «bridge» between the worlds.

Psychedelic Integration Circle

What the Oxford Psychedelic Society have to say about their event:

Psychedelic Integration is a wonderful opportunity to connect with others in the community who have had similar psychedelic experiences, both difficult and blissful, which have affected and changed our lives. We may be met with little understanding from others outside of the psychedelic community. Bringing these experiences to the surface in a safe group space, can help us understand what the medicine might have been working us through.

The Voices for Smarter Choices message:

We are Voices for Smarter Choices, a group of individuals committed to evidence-based drug policy reform in the UK. Despite progress in other countries, the UK has continued to enforce a very punitive and repressive drug policy, which is inhumane and not supported by recent advances in science. We are organising this rally to demonstrate the public support for legislative change in the UK so that members of parliament are called to action and held responsible for their unresponsiveness to the pressing need for drug policy reform.
