Robyn and Mark met on the way to Gabon, West Africa, each on their own healing journey. Years later, after both completing intense shamanic training and initiation into the Bwiti tradition, they returned to West Africa to get married, and embarked on a shared mission to heal.

IbogaSoul is the culmination of Mark and Robyn’s personal journeys and professional expertise, and they are dedicated to bringing the deep wisdom of the Bwiti tradition to the many in the West who are so in need of healing.

They are providers of the sacred root medicine, carriers of the ancient Bwiti tradition, and initiates who have undergone comprehensive training in the safe and effective administration of Iboga.

They are pioneers in the plant medicine community, and have received extensive media coverage as psychedelic healing gains mainstream interest, including being featured in the popular TV series Veracity- the Psychedelic Frontier and the award-winning 2019 documentary DOSED, the story of a young woman’s search for relief from opiate addiction through plant-medicine.

ABOUT MARK
Mark Howard specializes in providing Iboga root bark, as well as its total alkaloid extract, through the lens of the Bwiti spiritual tradition. He has assisted countless people in meeting Iboga in an authentic way supported by the traditional spiritual values taught to him by Bwiti shamans of Gabon, Africa. Travelling to Gabon on his first initiatory trip he met Robyn and they were spiritually married in the village two years later. Mark has been given the blessing to carry Iboga and offers a unique medicine by virtue of having done his personal healing work for many years with the medicine and Bwiti tradition. He graciously welcomed the film team of Dosed and helped Adrianne face herself which has opened the doors for many in the West. Currently Mark and his team at IbogaSoul Shamanic Healing provide medicine retreats in Baja California Sur, Mexico and British Columbia, Canada.

Deeply rooted in his training by the Gabonese shamans, Mark fiercely upholds these traditions in the western world. He spent five years in Vancouver, BC with his team treating hundreds of people in medically supervised sessions using specific rituals and ceremonies to heal the body, mind and soul.
