Supporting MC Through Grieving

Michael has dedicated nearly a decade to working as a healer helping thousands of people, very dedicated

has worked very hard and made a lot of sacrifices to be present as a healer and support person.

His son Ewan was his bright light and inspiration.

Ewan was loved by many people including the Iboga medicine community here and in Gabon. Ewan’s passing was sudden and unexpected.

The passing of a child is the most painful experience for a human to live through, now it’s Michael’s turn to be supported so that he can heal and process this tragedy.

The center runs as more of a not for profit and we want to give Michael the chance to step back and have some space to breathe and heal.Michael needs to get to Gabon so he can be amongst healers, the Village can conduct ceremony for Ewan, and his teacher Moughenda can support him in working through this.

When he returns from Gabon / we would like to help him take some time and space for himself to continue to process and integrate and focus on taking care of himself - before continuing full time into his work again.

The centre will continue to run with other healers facilitating while he is away.  Contributions will help keep this work alive.

Michael’s work has touched the lives of countless people and families. We want to support him collectively to find healing in the darkest of places and continue to walk on this path with us snd keep this work alive.
