Johani Askins “Juba”

Hello, I am Johani Askins, also known as Juba, a compassionate psychedelic facilitator with a diverse background. My inter-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-racial identity, coupled with ancestral connections to healers from Brazil, has shaped my belief in the power of diversity, privacy, and continuous consultation to create a safe and supportive space for transformative psychedelic experiences.

Having lived and worked with individuals from diverse economic and minority backgrounds, I deeply empathize and understand the importance of integrating body, mind, and spirit in balance. Witnessing the struggles of individuals from various walks of life, including veterans, those ensnared in cartels, and those affected by drug addiction and social discrimination, has strengthened my commitment to upholding integrity, kindness, and truth in my heart.

As a composer, singer, and instrumentalist, I infuse music into my psychedelic facilitation practice, recognizing its potential to enhance healing experiences. My dedication extends to the principles of non-violent communication and fostering inclusivity within the psychedelic community. I firmly advocate for safe and transformative psychedelic experiences for all, irrespective of their background or identity.

My journey as a psychedelic facilitator is guided by maintaining the right relationship with my clients, embracing self-reflection, and pursuing personal growth to ensure a responsible and compassionate approach. With a profound sense of inclusion for minority groups, and as a staunch supporter of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities, I am devoted to guiding individuals on transformative journeys, promoting healing, and contributing to a more compassionate world.

Juba completed an approved facilitator training through Subtlewinds. Along with being an Oregon Licensed Facilitator, he also has an approved Work Permit, both granted by OHA.
