Hello Soul Family, My name is Johnny Brzoza. I am 46 years old and I live in Calgary, Alberta. Iboga entered my life just a few weeks ago. I abused heavy narcotics and alcohol for over 30 years. A trashcan junkie. I also accepted that I was ready to end my life through overdose or be forced into an institution. A day after my wife’s birthday something changed within me. It was March 6, 2025. I knew I was not feeling good, not my true self, needed to heal and work on me. That morning I sat outside the farmhouse watching the world move. I didn’t say a word, just watched and listened. I saw birds and insects flying by, gophers running and heard the birds and insects swoop, buzz and chirp. I began to have a conversation with God, asking for his help with my addictions. I started to stare at the sun. It was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. As I talked I began to cry. A shadow from the sun touched the earth in-front of me, the earth and sky around me began to tremble and shake like an earthquake and everything went dark even on this sunny day. So strange. This spiritual encounter began a course of recovery and healing for me. A few days before my sister sent me a video on Iboga, which I began to watch after my morning experience outside. I told her this sounds like something that works and feel that it’s something I need for myself. I spoke to my wife about Iboga and she said “I told you about this plant medicine before”, i obviously did not heed her beckoning of care that she had for me. I didn’t care for me which ultimately shows I didn’t care for others. I know I love others more than I love myself but what i know now is that I can love people even deeper if I finally love myself. I began to research about Iboga in Canada. I chose to start the process with Ibogasoul 🤲. My experience with plant medicine was Marijuana, Psilocybin and Peyote. I can now include Iboga and Bufo. After my Iboga and Bufo ceremonies I feel that my depression, anxiety, withdrawals, addictions are gone and not an option anymore. I desire change and welcomes the bridge to the infinite. It has expanded my consciousness and opened doors to revelation. I also feel rewired. My mind, body and soul feels calm stable and focused. My energy has increased, my connection to self is enlightened. I feel that my ego has shifted to being present, empathetic, respectful and supportive of others and of me!
