Ozkar Johansson – Founder and Facilitator

Oz has been on his spiritual journey of self-discovery for more than 25 years now. He traveled the world, studying with various masters of different traditions and lineages, while doing his inner work. On his path, he has learned many healing modalities and techniques, ranging from bodywork, and energy work, to working with different Shamanic traditions and plant medicines across South America including the Amazon.

He also discovered the path of ascension as a journey to connection and embodiment of the higher self. This has helped him to open up and tap into deep spiritual wisdom and moment-to-moment guidance in his work with clients. Ascension is a path of raising vibration and consciousness, living from the heart, and healing every level of our being. By embodying higher aspects of ourselves (the higher self) it brings a profound level of self-mastery and connection.

Oz brings two decades of experience with various plant medicines, both working with masters on himself as well as with clients. Through many years of practice, studying, and immersion into Shamanic traditions, Oz has collected healing tools for his toolbox. However, when finding 5-Meo-DMT put him in deep awe and it was instantly clear that this was going to be his medicine, the missing link he had been searching for on his entire journey. It is the medicine that can bring the deepest level of transformation when used correctly and in the right container. After learning from the best facilitators in the field, one of them Joel Brierre, he has since been working with 5-Meo-DMT for many years.

As a part of his career, he worked with 5-MEO-DMT for Behold Retreats for 3.5 years, offering high-end psychedelic retreats. As Oz wanted to do this work in a less commercial and more spiritually backed way and after working with many clients, couples, and small groups individually, he founded Ascension Retreats.

Oz’ mission in his life is to guide people on their journey of transformation and offer caring and safe guidance deeply embedded in an embodied spirituality.

His three lead themes for his work are purity, safety, and highest intention.
