Ryan "Ghenigho" Rich
Founder, Lead Facilitator and Spiritual Care Counselor for Root Healing.
First thing’s first,
Ryan’s not “your healer.” That’s you.
His approach is focussed on giving every guest all the knowledge, experience and support needed to empower you towards your own best ways of repatterning your life with Bwiti and iboga, while Ryan and the Root Healing team provide the aftercare and integration support to help your discoveries stick.
Ryan “Ghenigho” Rich is the founder of Root Healing and is one of the world’s most experienced & knowledgable traditional Bwiti Iboga Facilitators. Since the inception of Root Healing, it has been his mission to bring Bwiti Indigenous Sciences, Western Sciences and professionalism together for enhanced safety, something you’ll notice from the outset of any iboga screening process with us.
He is extensively trained and empowered by his Missoko Bwiti elders to facilitate retreats, offer pre-initation ceremonies to both Men & Women.
Ryan has worked with hundreds of guests on their healing, and facilitated around 20-40 safe & effective ceremonies per year since he began doing this work. He also mentors other facilitators on their path.
Ryan's Approach
A Message From Ryan
“In heart-led action, the work I do is simply supporting people on their own path of liberation. It’s about breaking free from the chains of programming – those deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors we’ve absorbed from and created for family, school, friends, and society etc. Supporting you on a journey to untangle these threads, helping you shed patterns that were never truly yours, those designed to please others instead of honoring your authentic self.
This isn’t about ascending to some lofty, transcendent state. It’s the opposite – a path to radical grounding, a return to the raw beauty of our human nature, and our connection with nature, with reality. Forget about chasing external purpose; this journey is about rediscovering the profound meaning in simply being. When you embrace the essence of your existence, when you align with the wisdom of nature instead of clinging to illusions of control, your unique gifts will naturally overflow, enriching your world in ways you never imagined.
It’s a reclamation of life itself. We exist in an era where we have become disconnected from reality through hyper-connectivity, perpetually plugged in – but to the wrong sources. The internet has become our synthetic habitat, our phones, computers, and TVs serving as distorted windows into this digital realm. We’ve built ourselves an airtight, extremely faulty, smart home, a fortress against the uncertainties we can’t control, and in doing so, have isolated ourselves from the vibrant world that lies just beyond.
True freedom demands… we venture out into the untamed wilderness of our existence – to embrace our own wildness. It beckons us to encounter the world in its raw, unfiltered essence, to accept its breathtaking interconnectedness and the ephemeral nature of all things. It’s about recognizing the vast, boundless space within and without us, where all all rigid structures dissolve, and it’s about learning to dance with the rhythm of life itself …
To meet life in the most crazy, radical revolutionary way:
To
Just Be”
