Course Provider
Ibogaine preparation, integration, and aftercare coaching platform founded in 2009 by Jonathan Dickinson, former Director of the Global Ibogaine Therapy Alliance. Ceiba provides personalized one-on-one coaching across all phases of the ibogaine experience, grounded in harm reduction, neurodiversity, and spiritual emergence perspectives, and offers a free weekly recovery group for ibogaine treatment alumni.
Ceiba sits more as an ibogaine support and education outfit than a conventional course provider. Its strongest fit is people already around ibogaine, especially those needing preparation, integration, aftercare, or a better grounding in Bwiti and the wider cultural context. The lineage is unusually explicit: Jonathan Dickinson is tied to clinical ibogaine work, GITA, and initiation into Ebando/Bwiti, while the foundation also presents itself as a bridge between African traditional knowledge and global ibogaine access.
Best for ibogaine patients, alumni, and supporters who want structured coaching or cultural education around iboga and Bwiti. It also appears relevant to organisations or community partners working on ethical access and Nagoya-protocol related iboga initiatives.
No formal prerequisite is stated for the public education offering. For the grants pathway, applicants are routed through partner community organisations and may need medical screening, ECG, bloodwork, medication changes, and international travel ability.
I found no evidence of formal academic accreditation, CME/CE credit, or professional certification. The site describes a 4-part educational series and a grants programme, but does not present itself as an accredited training provider.
The public Bwiti educational series is listed at $90 lifetime access on the course page. Ceiba also runs needs-based ibogaine treatment grants, but its contact page says it cannot help with financial support to do ibogaine directly; grant support covers transport and treatment in its partner pathway.
Learners can expect cultural literacy around Bwiti, a broader understanding of iboga and its traditional context, and, on the coaching side, personalised preparation, integration, and aftercare support. The grants pathway appears to offer a supported route into ibogaine treatment plus post-treatment planning, rather than a standalone credential.
