Celine Reliba 

Celine Reliba (Kombó = Reliba), the Founder of The Origin, has deep roots in South India and Bangladesh. Adopted as an infant at the age of five months and brought to the Netherlands, Celine’s life has been a profound journey of self-discovery. Over time, she transformed the path of disconnection into a bridge back to her origins. Throughout the years, she sought to reconnect with her heritage and, in doing so, fulfilled her lifelong calling—opening the door to be initiated into the Bwete tradition at Ebando Temple in Gabon.

Celine united in marriage with her life partner, Bokaye. His mother, Egnepé, warmly embraced and recognized Celine, welcoming her with an open heart into their family. She was invited into their sacred temple, Membongo na Koudi, where the energy of ancient strength and healing for the world symbolizes the carrying of both humanity’s and the Earth’s vitality.

A devoted mother of two beautiful daughters, and a nurturer in all that she embodies, Celine is also an experienced yoga teacher with over a decade of practice. She draws upon a wide array of transformative methods to guide others, including breath work, bodywork, plant medicine, Voice Dialogue, Ayurvedic massage and cleansing, and the exploration of deep consciousness. Fluent in both Dutch and English, Celine shares her practices with grace, warmth, and unwavering dedication.

Bokaye 

Bokayé, born in Libreville, Gabon, was nurtured within a lineage steeped in ancestral wisdom, where knowledge was passed down through both his parents. His family has deep ties to sacred temples, with a tradition of knowledge and healing that has been passed down through generations. Membongo na Koudi (= Rite Dissoumba Vobe Na Kele) is the family temple on his mother’s side. Egnepé, Bokayé’s mother, embodies the ancient forces of healing and spiritual restoration for the world. It was in this sacred temple that Bokayé was raised, growing into a gifted harpist alongside his siblings.

From the tender age of four, Bokayé began to play the Ngombe Divine Mother, a ritual harp of deep spiritual significance. His musical genius shone early on, as he mastered not only the harp, but also the Mugongo (citar), drums, and a range of other ceremonial instruments, showcasing his exceptional talent in every musical form he touched.

Beyond his musical prowess, Bokayé is a profound teacher and healer on multiple levels, guiding others through spiritual and physical transformation. His deep wisdom spans various aspects of life, and his ability to heal is rooted in his connection to the sacred sounds of the Ngombe Divine Mother, which he uses to restore balance and harmony to those in need.

Bokayé has been initiated into a multitude of spiritual practices, starting with the (Rite=) Dissoumba Vobe Na Kele, and has participated in more than eight distinct rites of passage. His mission is one of healing, using the sacred sounds of the Ngombe Divine Mother to restore balance and peace to humanity.

Bokayé supports his wife in ceremonies at The Origin, offering his guidance in the rituals of Membongo na Koudi (Dissoumba Vobe Na Kele). He provides invaluable support to the Ebando team in Gabon and is a highly cherished and in-demand harpist, at ceremonies in sacred temples across Gabon.

The spiritual heart of his family, Membongo na Koudi, serves as their foundation in Gabon. Bokayé speaks his native Fang, as well as French and English, and continues to share his gifts of healing, teaching, and music with the world.
