Chet Hanks Found Purpose Through Psychoactive Plant
14 Jul
Summary
- Actor Chet Hanks experienced iboga in Spain two years ago.
- The plant medicine revealed his purpose is to be kind.
- He worked with a shaman trained by the Bwiti people.
Actor Chet Hanks has spoken about a profound experience with iboga, a psychoactive plant medicine, that he underwent in Spain about two years ago. He described the ceremony as life-changing, significantly altering his sense of purpose.
Hanks explained that the iboga experience, which lasted for 12 hours, led him to discover that his core purpose is to be kind and to seek opportunities to spread kindness. This realization has profoundly impacted his life.
The ceremony was facilitated by a French shaman who had lived with the Bwiti people in Gabon for 15 years, gaining their permission to administer iboga to Westerners. The shaman reportedly holds clinics in Spain and Brazil twice a year.
Hanks consumed the raw bark of the iboga plant, a practice he contrasted with taking a pill form. He noted that after about an hour, the effects are intense, leading to a prolonged, immersive journey.
