Jonathan
Horwitz has studied and worked with shamanism
since 1972. For eight years he was on the
staff of The Foundation for Shamanic Studies,
USA. Jonathan has an M.A. in anthropology,
and is a shamanic counselor (HMSC).
In
1986 Jonathan and Annette Høst began
the Scandinavian
Center for Shamanic Studies where the
courses are centered on learning to use the
ritual tools of shamanism, experiencing shamanism
as a spiritual path, shamanic healing, and
embracing the Circle and all of Nature. He
also runs a small retreat centre, Åsbacka,
in southern Sweden where he offers training
in personal healing retreats, Sitting Out
weekends and shamanic guidance for those who
have previously worked with him.
Jonathan’s
focus on shamanism as a spiritual path centers
around his own Three R’s – Re-connecting
with being alive, Re-discovering the spiritual
power we are all born with, and Re-learning
what it means to be a part of the whole. “The
shamanic path is excellent for learning these
things,” he says. “And as soon
as you feel you know, the Spirits show you
something new... The road goes on forever.”
