"Dear Humanity," a Lovecast with Laura Dawn

From the depths of opioid dependency, incarceration, and a near-death experience at the hands of an unsafe and unregulated ibogaine provider, Juliana Mulligan is a testament to how even during the most challenging, darkest of times, we can find a pinhole of light that leads to our purpose. Juliana shares her amazing yet harrowing journey through recovery, into healing, and how she found her calling to help others in their path to healing with plant medicine. She has become an expert in Ibogaine and harm reduction, trained under leaders in the space, and worked in clinics around the country assisting others in preparing for, working with, and integrating this immensely powerful compound found in the African shrub known as Tabernanthe iboga.

Juliana lays out the essential information that you need to know if you are considering working with this powerful and potentially life-threatening medicine, such as three of the main red flags you should consider before working with anyone administering this medicine. She speaks to the unfortunate yet common tendency for people with the deepest wounds

She speaks to the traditional use of Iboga by the practitioners of Bwiti in Gabon Africa, and the much-needed conservation work that is going on to fight the illegal poaching and western demand for Ibogaine.
