Sort of a Shaman

Mark Howarth has not lived a typical life, but one full of challenge and adventure. In this unique and deeply transformative autobiographical novel, he shares his inner and outer journey with us. From traveling and backpacking in remote areas of North, Central, and South America, to living in an intentional healing community and training as a healer, he weaves in and out of relationships, fascinating experiences, and powerful locations. By consistently confronting his fears, he gradually develops a healthy and empowered relationship with the dark side. Guided by an inner presence he refers to as "My Shaman," Howarth discovers that going through fear and darkness, rather than denying or fighting them, is the only way to truly transform our individual and collective suffering.
Full of profound insights, this book stretches and expands the comfort zones of our everyday reality and worldview. From the microcosm of the personal to the macrocosm of the Infinite, it dissects humanity's present predicament and offers solutions. Vulnerable, honest, and courageously persevering in his quest for truth, Mark inspires us to embark on our own paths of self-mastery and experience firsthand the joy and love that comes from opening our hearts to the Fuente Sagrada – the Sacred Fountain.
