Chor Boogie: Bridging Worlds: Serving Iboga in the Western World, Episode 65, The Psychedelic Entrepreneur Podcast

Chor Boogie is a critically acclaimed international visionary spray paint fine artist and muralist from the United States. In 2014, Chor experienced a profound healing with the help of iboga, the medicine of his direct African ancestors, within the traditional Bwiti ceremony. Chor integrates elements of iboga visions into his art, visually transmitting the medicine. Chor is passionate about including the voices of indigenous relations in the global conversations about iboga. Chor’s Bwiti name is Gnyangou, which means that he carries the medicine of the sun. Chor has been acknowledged as a nganga (healer and seer) by his Bwiti elders, and they have given him the responsibility to represent and help share Bwiti in the West.

Together, they traveled to Gabon multiple times after their initial healing where they experienced a Bwiti initiation, rite of passage, traditional wedding, and immersive iboga healer’s training. Originally from California, they are currently based in Costa Rica where they regularly offer sacred medicine journeys in Costa Rica in a medically responsible way, and they help to organize annual journeys to Gabon for initiation with their Bwiti elders.
