<div>My name is Jonathan Papia. For the past 5 years, I've worked as a holistic health practitioner, helping people work through trauma, heal physically and emotionally, and reconnect to themselves. I'm certified in Kambo, breathwork, bodywork, and health coaching. <a href="https://www.jonathanpapia.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Learn more about my background here</a>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, I've been searching for a medicine that could create deeper, lasting transformation. When I experienced Iboga, I found it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've been accepted into one of the most selective healing training programs in the world. Only <strong>20</strong> <strong>people</strong> are chosen each year to study Iboga medicine directly with <a href="https://www.bwitihouse.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moughenda and the Bwiti Elders in Gabon, Africa</a>. This 10-week immersive training starting January 2026 will certify me to offer life-changing ceremonies for veterans, people struggling with addiction, and anyone seeking healing.

</div>
<div><strong>Still Need: $10,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I'm asking for your help to raise $10,000 by January 6th, 2026 (tuition deadline).</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>We're in a health crisis. Opioid addiction kills over 100,000 Americans annually. Depression and anxiety are at record highs. Veterans struggle with PTSD and limited treatment options.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.bwitihouse.com/what-is-iboga-plant-medicine" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Iboga</a> is changing this. This sacred African plant contains ibogaine, a compound that<strong> can stop addiction withdrawal completely</strong> and help people break free at the neurological level. But it goes deeper, it helps process decades of trauma and reconnect people to themselves. <a href="https://www.bwitihouse.com/blog/how-does-ibogaine-work" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Learn more about how Iboga works</a> .
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Texas just approved <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/health/texas-psychedelics-ibogaine-veterans.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$50 million for Ibogaine research</a> . <a href="https://coloradosun.com/2025/07/21/ibogaine-colorado-natural-medicine-regulation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colorado is opening its first legal clinics</a>. The world is recognizing this medicine, but the clinical model is missing one thing: <strong>the sacred tradition. </strong>That's why I'm going to the source to learn from the Bwiti elders, so I can share this medicine with the wisdom and reverence it deserves.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Your Support Creates</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I return in March 2026, what you're making possible:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Iboga ceremonies in safe, legal U.S. settings (Colorado, Michigan) for people ready to heal deeply
</li>
<li>Accessible healing for veterans and those in addiction recovery, done with sacred tradition, not just clinical treatment
</li>
<li>A future holistic retreat space where people can experience this medicine with proper integration support
</li>
<li>Online teachings so this ancient wisdom reaches people worldwide
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You're not just supporting my training, you're helping hundreds of people <strong>heal</strong>.
</div>
<div>Every dollar you contribute also directly supports the Bwiti village, providing food, water, and shelter for the families who've protected this sacred wisdom for thousands of years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s how you can help:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Donate</strong> what feels right, every amount matters
</li>
<li><strong>Share</strong> this campaign with your networks
</li>
<li><strong>Send</strong> me your prayers and encouragement
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One life can touch hundreds. Hundreds can touch thousands. This is how healing spreads.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If this mission resonates with you, please consider supporting it today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With deep gratitude and love,</strong>
