About
Mick van Schothorst

Michiel (Mick) was born in 1938 in the Netherlands, the son of a Protestant minister. While still quite young, he realised that his father’s religion did not allow sufficient freedom of thought and he started to seek answers to existential questions elsewhere. After his study of veterinary medicine, he specialised in food microbiology at the National Institute of Public Health and obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Utrecht. In 1980 he was engaged by a global food company in Switzerland, which gave him the opportunity to travel the world and meet people of many traditions and cultures. He worked in many professional organisations, conducted many training courses and has been teaching at the University of Wageningen, the Netherlands. He authored and co-authored over 150 scientific publications including several books. After his retirement, he had more time to continue his quest for understanding how “things between heaven and earth” work through reading and shamanic voyaging.
