SHAMANIC EVENTS       

As well as courses, training and mentoring, Jonathan and Zara also offer occasional talks, conference presentations, or festival workshops. Sometimes there are free events, online or onsite, such as Solstice Circles or ceremonies for special occasions. Through the years the three of us have created many tailor-made rituals for individuals, groups and institutions, including name giving celebrations, memorial services or blessing work. You can find more event announcements in our monthly newsletter

26 OCTOBER 2024: POWER OF PEACE CEREMONY

with Jonathan Horwitz & Zara Waldebäck

A free online Ceremony to encourage connection to the Power of Peace in these times. 

This event is now over but here are some ways you can work with it at home. 

The purpose of the Ceremony was to hold space for Peace and to connect to the Power of Peace. 

We held two ceremonies. They are simple and you can do them regularly: 

• LIGHT A CANDLE with the intention to connect to Peace and hold space for Peace. Sit before lighting it until you feel ready. Hold the intention as you light it and then sit with the flame and open to the Power of Peace as it is with you. 

• SING PEACE INTO WATER with the intention to feel the Power of Peace and help it to flow in the World. At the end, put some water on your Head, Throat and Heart to help bring Peace to your thoughts, voice and actions. Then pour it into a sink or water body, or on the Earth, to share it and ask for help to let Peace flow in the World.  

Explore the Power of Peace and find personal teachings through this work:

- POWER PLACE: visit and ask for help to experience the Power of Peace  

- MEDICINE WALK: ask what is my next step working with the Power of Peace?

- JOURNEY: ask your Spirit Teacher what can help me to bring the Power of Peace to my life? 

Whatever you do, you can ask for help to stay connected to the Power of Peace as you do it, or choose to carry an awareness of Peace as you walk through the days and see what you find. 

LISTEN to our talk about Shamanism, Peace & Power

Jonathan and Zara also offer occasional free online talks since 2020. You can find them on the YouTube channel Shaman Circle Center or browse our Library where they are listed by theme.

PERSONAL RITUALS AND CEREMONIES
Many people ask us to help with special threshold moments in their lives. Often they are name-giving ceremonies, weddings or funerals. Sometimes they are private rites-of-passage. These ceremonies are always created in consultation with you and the Spirits, to make sure they serve you well.

Shamanic ceremony is transforming work. It helps you to step through the stages of life with power and presence, and brings you into connection with yourself and the universe. It can be very empowering to create your own ceremony. Our hope is that more people will carry knowledge about shamanic ritual and ceremony, to help both themselves and others who ask for help. We sometimes offer courses on this theme, such as "Spirit Dance" and "Sacred Ceremony".

We still do this work when time allows. If you have a request or wish, please contact us. If we are not able to help, we can often recommend other shamanic colleagues, or contact one of the people on the list below. 

When holding Ceremonial or Circle work online, it is useful to have a sense of ethics and clear guidelines, and so we offer our guide to sharing shamanic work online to help and inspire you

EVENTS BY OTHER PEOPLE
These people have trained extensively with us and work in a similar way. They often hold shamanic events and we recommend all these facilitators. In our monthly newsletter we regularly share information about upcoming shamanic events in our network.
