Ben Ahn is the founder of Nomena, an ibogaine retreat in Southeast Asia, and an advocate for the responsible, medically supervised use of ibogaine. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Ben served as a Navy SEAL, deploying to Iraq with SEAL Team 3, before transitioning to a corporate career that spanned more than fifteen years with Fortune 500 industrial companies. In his final role, he led international sales and business development across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, India, and Africa as a Division Vice President.

Ben now supports people from many walks of life through their own journeys of deep emotional release, reconnection with their authentic self, and profound shifts in awareness. He is certified in psychedelic-assisted therapy and was formally initiated into the Bwiti Missoko Miobé lineage by a Nima na Kombo (high priest) of the Babongo, the indigenous Gabonese forest people credited as the originators of Bwiti and iboga use.
