In this episode of The Mama Psychedelia Podcast, I interview the second papa to ever come on the show, Levi Barker, a father and steward of Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica who approached me with a desire to share his story. Levi came to Iboga about 14 years ago due to an opiate addiction. After coming to the medicine himself and finding solace and healing, he befriended a Bwiti medicine carrier who trained him, and 8 years later offered him the blessing to serve this medicine. Iboga holds incredibly potent powers in reminding people of their clarity and strength, and aids them in overcoming intense addictions, as well as being a form of treatment for common mental health obstacles such as depression (including postpartum depression) anxiety, and ptsd. Iboga is also now known for its supportive measures in boosting fertility & supporting those who may have been considered infertile to conceive human life. Levi shares some of the Bwiti lessons he’s walked with, simple universal truths about what it means to be a human and live here on earth. He speaks to how this medicine & his journey has impacted his parenting & how he feels this teacher can support those clearing out their subconscious closets before becoming parents or those who already are and want to go deeper.
