Where Ancestral Knowledge Meets the Medicine of Being

Ethnomedicine recognizes that symptoms are not enemies to be suppressed, but sacred messengers guiding us toward deeper understanding. Each encounter with ethnomedicine awakens layers of self and ancestral connection, inviting you to remember your original wholeness and step into the grace of complete living. Our three pillars - Laboratorium, Sanctuaries and Wisdom - form a living ecosystem of healing wisdom that is dynamic and ever-evolving.

Beyond Treatment

Becoming the
Medicine You Seek

We don't just administer medicine; we honor the dance between sacramental plants and human consciousness. Mpande Ethnomedicine stands at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science, creating a paradigm of healing that recognizes the healer within each of us.

“The path to wellness isn't found in formulaic silver bullets but in sacred relationship with ourselves, our ancestors, and the living Earth. Within every symptom lies evolutionary information waiting to guide us home to ourselves.”

Simon Anderson, Mpande Ethnomedicine

Our Integrated Approach

Precision with Reverence

Ancestral knowledge and modern science unite to preserve the sacred intelligence of natural medicines.

Mpande Labs weaves traditional sacramental wisdom with scientific understanding in a dance of reciprocity. We recognize that these allies are not mere compounds but living teachers with their own intelligence. Our approach ensures that when these medicines are grown, prepared and packaged, their spirit remains intact—standardized for safety while preserving their profound healing potential.

Sanctuaries

Healing Pathways

Our Healing Houses are sacred spaces which embody deep grace, where we remember our inherent wholeness through connection with plant teachers and spirit doctors.

Sanctuary

At Mpande Healing Houses, healing is a journey of remembering.

We facilitate profound encounters with sacraments centered on iboga and other potent natural allies, complemented by traditional Lomi Lomi bodywork, sacred art-making, and deep immersion in nature. These are not just treatments but initiatory experiences – paths that reconnect you with forgotten parts of yourself.

Surrounded by ancient forests, mountains, and ocean rhythms, nature itself becomes a powerful ally in your transformation. As teacher plants reveal hidden wisdom, hands-on healing releases stored memory, and creative expression bypasses the thinking mind. Healing unfolds as a seamless lived experience that nurtures the whole being.

Wisdom

A Living Library

Our Education initiatives embody living transmission—where knowledge flows not just from mind to mind, but from heart to heart and spirit to spirit.

Knowledge and Learning at Mpande transcends mere information transfer. We embrace the original spirit of scientific inquiry—wonder and discovery—while honoring the depths of traditional wisdom. Through our microdosing and Kuchina service and medicine preparation programs, we cultivate skilled practitioners and wisdom keepers who understand that true healing emerges when we open communication with all aspects of our being—especially those we've long silenced.
