Brigit Ritchie: 56 Questions for Ibogaine

Brigit is the founder and CEO of We, a learning studio that provides workshops and experiences to help people develop relational mindfulness within their relationships at work. She’s also an intimacy and relationship coach, a mom, and an artist.

What we discuss

What life was like before a recent ibogaine experience at beond

How she struggled to maintain a work-life balance

How her relationships with alcohol and tobacco had become problematic without much awareness of how these substances were affecting her

How she had hoped that treatment with ibogaine might help her heal from the trauma of experiencing abuse as a child

Her intense preparation for her experience

How she developed a list of not 2 or 3 but 56 questions for ibogaine

How her ibogaine experience, which was wildly different than what she expected, could have gone in two very different directions

Why it’s important

Brigit’s story is one that many of us can relate to: how many of us are struggling with burnout, numbing our pain with substances, and sitting with unresolved childhood trauma? There’s a lot to learn from Brigit’s understanding of relationships and intimacy, and from her experience navigating her ibogaine treatment.
