Visual artist Chor Boogie & author E. Bast share about their healing experiences with sacred medicines—and the relationship between these sacraments and the creative and artistic process. There will be discussion of safety, respect, and sustainability with regards to entheogens as well as preparation, participation, and integration.
Chor Boogie & E. Bast are currently in a long-term traditional apprenticeship with the iboga medicine, a powerful plant teacher held sacred by the Bwiti people of Central West Africa. Iboga has been utilized in ceremonies since ancient times for spiritual and physical healing. More recently, iboga has been proven to have powerful addiction-breaking effects in medical studies and observational research.

Societe Perrier honored him as number three among their Top Ten U.S. Street Artists of 2014. He painted several series of iboga inspired paintings after his healing ceremonies, and these pieces have since graced the cover of the popular journal for the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. His artwork is serving as the official imagery for the 2016 National Harm Reduction Conference in San Diego.
