BACKGROUND.
Johan was born in the Netherlands to Frisian parents. Until his mid-twenties his life was mostly dedicated to work, parties, drug abuse and gaining material wealth. It was during this time that he suffered from severe depression. That was his wake up call. From that moment he got hooked to living a meaningful and sustainable life. He cut old ties, quit his job, relinquished the old patterns and worn-out mind sets, moved out of his house, gave away all his belongings, and bid the old Johan farewell.
Johan started traveling around the world, almost without any money, and lived in several communities in the Balkans, Brazil, and South Africa. It was there that he worked through his personal trauma and dealt with his own control- and belief systems.
It was also during this period that he fully experienced the healing and transformational effects of plant medicine. His transformation was profound and urged him to go back to Europe and share his experience and knowledge to liberate people struggling with similar issues. In his healing work he gained proficiency in ceremonies and conducted his own brand of ritual transformation.
Since 2017 Johan has been contributing his ritual magic to the Qi-Yo method in an effort to align people with their soul purpose – liberating them from imposed programming and social manipulation.
