Saturday 10 October, 10:00 SAST — Live online, link shared upon registration
A focused 90-minute event with two experienced practitioners. Understand the lived realities of practitioners and participants, safety considerations, and what integration actually requires.
Conversations about Iboga and Ibogaine are polarized. On one side, sensational promises. On the other, clinical descriptions stripped of human context. Between them sits a gap: the honest, evidence-informed middle ground where real decisions get made.
This 90-minute event closes that gap. Dr. Martie brings a decade of fieldwork and PhD-level research on wellbeing in non-ordinary states. Alexa brings 15 years of coaching and integration practice, grounded in lived experience. Together they cover what the evidence actually says, what the medical risks are, and how integration turns insight into lasting change — whether you're exploring for yourself, supporting a loved one, or referring as a clinician.
Researcher and practitioner with a decade of fieldwork at the intersection of psychology, contemplative practice, and altered states of consciousness. Her research focuses on how people make sense of non-ordinary experiences and how care can be offered ethically in complex spaces. She holds a PhD in Psychology from Canterbury Christ Church University and an MSc in Transpersonal Psychology.
Integration specialist with 15 years in coaching, counselling, and mental health support. An AHPCSA-registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor, she brings lived experience with 8 journeys with Iboga and Ibogaine, some harrowing learning experiences and some successful, and 17 years SUD recovery alongside professional experience. Her work centres on the integration that follows: anchoring insight into real change in your body, relationships, and daily life.
Clinical evidence and safety from Dr. Martie, integration practice from Alexa. A balanced understanding in under an hour.

Meet others navigating the same questions — participants, families, and referring professionals. Connect with them during the live session.
Take-home materials and an option to join a mailing list for further education, integration resources, and service referrals.
Understand the major medical and psychiatric contraindications. Know what screening should cover and when Iboga is not appropriate.

For clinicians and loved ones: criteria for assessing suitability, how to support someone through the process, and where to find ethical practitioners.
