Ikara retreat center is located in the southern zone of Costa Rica. Ikara is the western representative of Mboka A Nzambe -- one of the last traditional Bwete villages in Gabon.
King Adumangana of Mboka A Nzambe invited Kuma to join the African village and be initiated as a Miobe Nganga. During his initiation, Kuma was taken deep into the Babongo territories (the home of the Babongo Pygmies) in Dibios to do his rite of passage Mweli before his initiation could be completed. Kuma was the first westerner to be initiated for this great privilege. King Adumangana wanted Kuma to be his advocate for the west and convey the knowledge, teachings, and spirituality of Bwete.
In this way, the main aim of Ikara is to screen people who may wish to visit Mboka A Nziambe in Gabon. King Adumangana wants people to come and experience the traditional process of rebirth in its traditional manner. Ikara offers traditional Babongo Miobe Ombudi Iboga ceremonies as taught by Spiritual Father King Adumangana. All profits go directly to Mboka A Nzambe and the 7 Babongo villages supported in Dibois.

In Embracing Paradox, Evolving Language (2024), L.E. Maroski proposes that humanity is poised on the cusp of a transformation of consciousness that requires not only a shift in values and perspectives, but also a shift in a basic technology we take for granted--language. Maroski questions the cultural assumptions that are built into the structure of language and invites the reader to imagine and ultimately to help develop novel structures of language that arise from different assumptions. To do so, she shows how we can draw inspiration from paradoxical topological forms, such as the Mobius strip and Klein bottle, as they embody both unity and duality/multiplicity. By seeing our reality not simply in terms of either/or but also in terms of both(many)/and, perhaps we can better appreciate the wholeness of all existence.

Davezilla is an illustrator, artist, cryptid researcher, creator of the award winning humor blog, "Davezilla," and in his "Spare" time (as in Austin Osman Spare), was executive vice-president of Campbell Ewald (2nd oldest ad agency in the US). He is also a Gardnerian witch (initiated 1979), Discordian, Ngangalero (initiated 1993), and Santero (initiated 2006). He likes the liminal.
In this podcast, we focus on his new work, Tarot of the Unexplained, designed to represent the most commonly seen and experienced unexplained phenomena: apparitions, Fortean phenomena, and cryptids. It incorporates these modern concerns as suits: Wands, Swords, Cups, and Pentacles become Sasquatch knocking sticks, Ghosts, Portals, and Flying Saucers. Pages have become Fans, Knights are now Hunters, Queens are Advocates, but Kings are Skeptics, and their role is to take a hard look at the situation and ensure you are not letting your imagination get the best of you despite the fact that your imagination is often the best part... but I digress.
