Subject: Bwiti/Eboga Research in Gabon

Dear List,

I'll be traveling to Gabon in 2 weeks for four-months of field work on 
the use of eboga under the auspices of the California Institute of 
Integral Studies. My paper will compare eboga rituals with those of the 
Native American and Ayahuasca churches. I plan to document the impact 
these rituals are having on participants lives as well as explore some 
of the deeper "mechanics" of the rituals themselves--i.e. what is 
happening at an experiential level and how. My interest is in sacred 
plant rituals as a means for psychophysical, social, and ecological 
transformation. I would appreciate any input, advise, and especially 
contacts in Gabon who might make my transition into that society a bit 
easier and help me deepen my research. All are welcome to contact me 
directly.

Thank You,

Larry Roussel
