Soul and Ceremony: Exploring Bwiti Traditions with Chor Boogie

52 - Soul and Ceremony: Exploring Bwiti Traditions with Chor Boogie   In this episode of the Four Visions podcast, we welcome visionary artist Chor Boogie, founder of Soul Centro, a dedicated healer, and Bwiti tradition practitioner. Chor shares his profound journey with Iboga, the deep roots of Bwiti culture, and the principles of decolonized healing spaces. The discussion covers the sacredness of Iboga, its traditional ceremonies, and the vital need for preserving and respecting indigenous practices. The conversation also delves into the balance of light and dark within us, the spiritual evolution guided by traditions, and the importance of maintaining a respectful dialogue with ancestral lineages. SoulCentro founder and visionary artist Chor Boogie aka Gnyangou has been ordained as a Nganga (healer and seer) by his Missoko Bwiti elders after completing a decade of study and service with the tradition, the rite of passage, and multiple advanced initiations. His Bwiti name, Gnyangou, means the medicine of the sun. His spiritual father is Grand Master Binana, president of the Wise (local chapter of a ngangas’ organization). Gnyangou leads annual journeys back to Gabon for initiation.   In This Episode: Chor Boogie | https://www.soulcentro.com | @soulcentro_retreats | @gnyangou |  https://www.chorboogie.com | Facebook Chor Boogie Mariah Gannessa | @mariahgannessa    Today's episode is sponsored by Clareia Das Aguas (FVFAMILY for 10%).
