Mabandji (Abanji)

MABANDJI introduces a unique rhythm and rituals specific to participants who suffer from psychological problems.
MABANDJI is defined by its special dance—an entrancing expression of the spirit that sets it apart. Even though the initiation lasts only 8 days, the whole journey to mental health might take 6 months, where you will stay in Mama Aline's village and she will guide you step by step into a completely healthy state of mind.

During the seated dance, the initiate syncs with the rhythm of woven shells (gueguas), each movement echoing ancestral wisdom and the earth's whispers. In contrast, the standing dance invites the initiate to embrace the sway of the scoop (raffia), symbolizing cultivation and growth, guiding them through their spiritual journey's intricate steps. This dance, a visible transformation of the initiate's inner self, balances grace and strength, representing groundedness and aspiration.

MABANDJI isn't just an initiation but a rite that enriches the soul's canvas with tradition's vibrant colors and personal evolution's profound strokes. This initiation stands as a testament to the journey of growth, an enduring dance of the spirit that enriches the initiate's path toward freedom and unity with the essence of existence.

Ologuo (Elogho)

OLOGUO is an initiation aimed at healing anger and aggression. Ologuo is renowned in the spiritual realm for its powerful presence, as it embodies the most intense spirit to manifest within an individual. Its emergence brings forth a tempest of emotions and physical symptoms—from anger to headaches, signaling a need for appeasement. Despite its formidable nature, Ologuo is paradoxically the simplest to calm, with a straightforward initiation path.

The initiation ritual for OLOGUO is a spectacle of devotion, with every other spirit engaging in an elaborate dance in its honor—a nocturnal vigil culminating at dawn. As the first light touches the sky at precisely 5 a.m., OLOGUO arises to partake in its sacred tablet, awaited with bated breath by all present.

The Ologuo spirit, with its immense strength, doesn't merely exist within the initiate; it reigns supreme, a testament to nature's force intertwined with the human spirit. OLOGUO's initiation acknowledges its place in the cosmos, with the initiate becoming the axis around which all other spirits orbit, each dance a tribute to OLOGUO's potent force.

Niembe for Women only (only dry season)

The Niembe initiation has been a part of life for women from many communities in Gabon for generations. It's a spiritual journey that guides young women from innocence to wisdom.

Under the jungle canopy, during the dry season, Mama Aline leads the ceremonies with care. The air is filled with sacred dance and song, as women, adorned with natural body paint, come together in unity.

During this time, the mysteries of life —sexuality, sisterhood, and solidarity— are revealed to the initiates. It's a preparation period that once lasted months but now may be only 8 days, yet its depth remains profound.

The initiates face spiritual trials (a type of hazing - the main reason why this initiation is not for western people), learning the timeless values of our society and the sacred role of women. In this sanctum, the spirits of Niembe and Mukuku weave the unseen fabric of life, their presence a mystery.

This rite strengthens sisterhood bonds, weaving initiates into their community. As they emerge adorned in white and red, their dances celebrate life and connection, witnessed by their kin and the jungle's ancient guardians.

The Niembe initiation demands physical and spiritual strength, pushing boundaries and testing resilience. It's a path for Gabonses women who are called and ready to embrace its challenges.

Dissumba for men only

Dissoumba, the pinnacle of spiritual initiations, calls only the most devoted seekers of wisdom, those eager to explore the deep mysteries of creation itself. Reserved for individuals who have already begun a spiritual journey with Mama Aline, Dissoumba takes participants beyond the ordinary, into and beyond death.

Conducted within a special Dissoumba temple, this initiation is the highest point of spiritual quests, challenging the mind and spirit like never before.

The path of Dissoumba isn't easy; it requires exceptional resilience and unwavering dedication. Participants are pushed to their physical and spiritual limits, consuming substantial amounts of iboga to reach realms beyond ordinary perception.

Such an intense process demands thorough health evaluations, including heart and liver tests, to ensure participants can withstand the transformative journey.

Dissoumba offers more than just initiation; it's a revelation, a deep look into the hidden mysteries beyond death's door. It challenges the very essence of existence, inviting the bravest souls to understand the enigmatic realm of creation.

This initiation showcases the indomitable spirit of those who seek to rise above the ordinary, exploring the infinite cycles of life and the intricate cosmos.
