Johnson designed a prismatic experience and it was framed with deep knowledge, protection and safety. Through that we were able to build trust and expand our consciousness in a variety of ways like breathwork, plant medicine ceremonies and visiting sacred sites. I’ve had incredible visions and insights that I will continue to learn from in the days and months to come.

Visions were not a thing that I believed in. I am a very factual person who needs to see it to believe it. I have become a believer. I has been absolutely amazing. I have no anxiety. I have no depression. I have let go of my past. And at 56, I finally feel I can love myself, which is the most important thing. It’s a beautiful feeling, like a ton of weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

It has been one of the most amazing experiences that I have had in my life. Every day was just so beautifully curated. I have felt so held, supported and seen. It has been such deep life changing processes that I will be forever grateful for. Johnson is just absolute magic the way he brings people together and supports such deep cathartic healing.

I came in with an intention to connect with my ancestors and my spirit guides and that happened. However, I also got a big insight into some healing to do with my womb specifically with pain connected to adenomyosis, which is a condition with my period. I had such an incredible experience with the plant medicine that took that pain away, and really explained quite a lot as to what was going on inside my body.

I was drawn to this retreat because of the plant medicine ceremonies and visiting Peru. I felt like the lead up to the retreat made me feel safe to express and be present to whatever was arising for me during my process. Each ceremony really built off the previous one. It was like doing 10 years of therapy in 10 days, and it’s broken down a lot of walls for me.

I’ve worked with Johnson a few times before, and it’s just been magical each time. It’s been beyond any expectations I’ve had about the medicine, the place, the retreat. Johnson just gives and gives. I feel like I have healed so much, and feel like a completely new person.

What I learned about myself from the San Pedro medicine was that it is okay to have fun and to enjoy myself and life. I did find through it, that I had an imbalance in my equilibrium, which the shamans brought up without me saying anything. And in the second ceremony, I felt completely healed, calm and happy. This really was a trip of a lifetime.

It has been an absolutely mind-blowing experience. I have done plant medicine, but definitely not like this. It has been so powerful with the different shamans we have worked with. I would say It has been extra potent because of the group of people that came to it, and I think that is all thanks to the type of people Johnson attracts, which is a more mature consciousness and than I’ve experienced in other ceremonies.

It gave me this feeling of stepping into the future with confidence and with love. The space that we were in, and the space that Johnson created felt very safe and contained. I am so grateful for how the retreat was organised. We had so many opportunities to release things before ceremony. To be able to step into that space feeling lighter and freer, and to have the tools to navigate through any challenges that arose during ceremony was amazing.

The group just has been amazing. Johnson is so fantastic at holding space. I know any experience I do with him is going to be magical, so I’m so grateful for this. I am feeling so many shifts and feeling lighter. I really learned to sit through discomfort, and by the end, I experienced a sense of amazing peace.

My biggest takeaway is that I’ve always been a serial overthinker, and this experience has allowed me to be me, to be free and not so much in my mind. We did a lot of healing which was so important to me. I was very on the fence about ayahuasca because I didn’t know how I would react to it. But it has cleared me completely and healed me in the best way possible.

The entire retreat so sacred, fun and transformational. I have honestly struggled with yoga and breathwork for years, and I am a yoga instructor. So, coming here and having a sacred place to go into deep practices, opened me up as a teacher and as a human. I feel more comfortable in my skin than I have ever felt in my life. If I had to summarise this retreat in one word it would be ‘pause.’ I finally have paused in my life, and I almost 48 years old, and I don’t think I’ve ever taken a pause to reflect on myself and to love myself this much.

It’s something that he does where he gets into your mind that helps you move better through your body. The morning cleansing ritual was interesting at first, but then it became something that I wanted to do every single day. The purification process actually brought up everything that needed to get out at the moment. It’s powerful in so many ways because you’re connecting to yourself. This is all about you. Johnson’s just the facilitator in helping you to find you and bringing out what needs to come out. He is very gifted.

What I discovered about myself is how much fear I had before coming here, but also how much strength and tenacity I have in going through this journey to let go of my fears and old beliefs. This journey has been transformative. It has been magical and heartfelt.

The shamanic journeys were extremely profound. I had a lot of soul revelations and true connection with Spirit. I feel Johnson is truly a channel to the spirit world, and his presence there is so much stronger than me doing it on my own. It was beyond my wildest dreams. What surprised me about this retreat was the connections with the people in the group. I feel like I have made friends from all over the world. Each person in the group contributed their own unique energy, and we all have a really special connection now.

It’s been a very uplifting and invigorating experience. I don’t think it’s something that you can explain to anybody unless they go through it themselves. I think that it’s important for each person in the world to experience because this is a journey on understanding where you come from – to connect to your inner self and to understand your mission for the future.

What felt really healing to me was that Johnson was able to provide the space and the compassion for me to let go of the family ancestry that was so abusive, without telling me how to do it, but allowing me to find mine own way of doing it. He has a beautiful of not pushing you into something you’re not ready for, and letting you find it on your own because no one can heal you but yourself.

What I love about Bali is the culture and the people. As soon as you land, you sense the sincerity and the authenticity of the people because they look you in the eyes and they smile with their eyes. I’ve worked with Johnson intensely for about one year. I would call this a healing retreat. We all have healing to do and are on different points of the spectrum. We all have the same pain and suffer from the same traumas, and Johnson creates the safest container. He’s just so gentle, yet firm and so wise.

We did this fabulous trek up to Tiger’s Nest. I had this injury where I couldn’t walk down, and somebody carried me for half the way down and then found me a horse. When we tried to thank these people, they said, ‘it was our honour.’ You saw the real base of generosity and compassion that people had, and the unconditional pleasure they got from doing things for other people. That was a very moving experience.

I’m on the most incredible spiritual journey with Johnson. We have done so many amazing things, rafting down the river, going to monasteries and temples. I would highly do this all over again. We did a number of workshops everyday, and shamanic journeys which I had never done before. You actually feel the energy through your body, that Spirit has come into you that made me feel at one with nature and the world.
