Iboga Community Engagement Initiative

The Iboga and Ibogaine Community Engagement Initiative

This initiative made an engagement with the global community to crowdsource opinions and ideas about what an ideal future looks like for iboga and ibogaine in global society.

We conducted the initiative in two phases and published reports following each phase, sharing visions from the communities we engaged with and findings that provided insights into the current state of iboga and ibogaine practices, as well as opportunities and challenges.

A final report outlines conclusions and recommendations, charting a path forward for the future of iboga and ibogaine. We encourage all those interested in or engaged in practices with iboga or ibogaine to read this report, discuss with your community, and determine how you can takes steps to be a part of a brighter future for this sacred plant medicine.

It’s important to note that the engagement with the global community is a testament to the holistic approach taken by ICEERS. This approach encompasses a broad spectrum of disciplines, including biology, anthropology, law, and public health. By engaging with various stakeholders, ICEERS ensures that the future of iboga and ibogaine is not only well-informed but also respectful of indigenous traditions and practices.

For those interested in or engaged in practices involving iboga or ibogaine, the final report serves as a roadmap for meaningful participation in shaping the future of these substances. It encourages individuals and communities to read the report, engage in discussions, and take proactive steps towards ensuring a brighter future for these sacred plant medicines.

In conclusion, the Iboga and Ibogaine Community Engagement Initiative is a testament to ICEERS’ commitment to promoting the responsible and sustainable integration of traditional plant medicines into society. The reports generated by this initiative are invaluable resources for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners alike, providing a solid foundation for informed decision-making and advocacy in this field.
