We had a beautiful Ceremony that took place in Stockton, CA. Eagle Therapies has been gathering with people in National Parks to be able to offer ceremonies to the public, however last night we had a beautiful Ceremony in someones home. This next half of the trip will be a lot more spaced out and not as rushed, so we will be offering more “in home” experiences rather then just public ceremonies.
The Spirits of the Land wanted us to do what are known as “Awakening” Ceremonies, and this is the first one in the trip. It is to help us crack open that seed within us and allow our authenticity to come out naturally. Join us virtually! Forum post will be coming soon. I apologize for the video being tilted. As soon as I get access to a computer again I’ll switch the video around.

The Spirit of Mount Rainier gets really cranky when you acknowledge it by “Mount Rainier”. So therefore I will try my best to keep addressing it as Mount Tahoma. This series was very beautiful and absolutely lovely. Thank you to all that attended! It even made it into the post, “What is Sacred” because of the way people interacted on the trails of that lovely mountain.
We had this beautiful lei that was donated by Masha Sanders of the Last Mask Community, and we gifted it to Mount Tahoma at Narada Falls. We recorded the gifting here:
As a last little gift, the Mountain called me back as I traveled up to Seattle that next week and wanted to give us some glacier water. I will be carrying it with me so I can offer water blessings from Mount Tahoma at the public Ceremonies along the way.

This was shot on the coast of the Puget Sound. A lovely little beach that flows right out to the Pacific Ocean. I was able to meet up with some other members of our non-local shamanic community and even had a distance participant from Facebook!
It’s not too late! This Ceremony was recorded for a reason, and the way it was energetically set up means that people can participate at any time as long as they have heart and meaning when they participate. Feel free to pass this Ceremony along to friends or family that might be interested in putting their prayers energetically into that bottle of water that currently holds water from the Potomac River and the Pacific Ocean. It’s short, simple and only 30 minutes. Not a lot of “woo woo”, so even people that are new to Ceremony don’t have to be intimidated. It’s as simple as saying why we are grateful for water, and all of the lovely things that water does.

I was not called to record the whole Ceremony, but instead record just a song from it. People signed up for tickets online, however I got more strangers to participate then people that showed up 🙂 Spirit works in funny ways.

Mount Saint Helens is an active volcano that erupted twice in the 1980’s, spilling layers of ash across many states. Traditionally she is known as Loowit. I was blessed with some members of the Last Mask Community as we journeyed together on the mountain, doing this very special Ceremony with this special volcano. There is still hot magma that bubbles up from the volcano’s center, and the major message had to do with abrupt change/transformation. Listen and feel some of the messages in this video below.

What is sacred?
I had a sinking feeling when I first started this US Tour that it wasn’t what I was originally conceiving. When I had originally received the message to visit Sacred Sites all across the United States and do Ceremony at them, I was concerned about the general public and how these ceremonies would be perceived. I was excited about what the Spirits of the Land would say, but concerned about the human counterparts.
This has proven true time and time again. I write this on the day after my Ceremony at Mount Rainier, where the Mountain himself was upset that people have lost touch with the sacred within the Mountain. Many people go to visit Mount Rainier for its aesthetic features, taking in only the surface value of what the Mountain has to offer. They go because of the stunning views, the waterfalls, and the inspiration from which they see. It stirs a deep part of themselves, but yet they ignore it. Just like they ignore the spirit of the mountain.
As an exercise, the Mountain suggested I offer tobacco to people. An easy way to give gratitude. It was obvious that my small crew and I were doing Ceremony. There were several people walking by that stopped and watched, and about 3 people who filmed us singing and praying. When the Ceremony was complete, I stepped out onto the crowded path as person after person walked by me. Many ignored me as I tried to offer tobacco blessings, and several avoided me. Out of the 8 people who I had face to face interaction with, only 2 people took a pinch of tobacco. And I felt that it wasn’t because they wanted to, but because they would feel rude if they didn’t take the offer. Especially because I mentioned the word praying, most likely evoking an age old guilt of something that was ground into them as children to do, but didn’t end up doing as adults.
I tried to stop early because it felt awkward. It seemed as though people were fine with watching, but interacting was so alien. However, the Mountain was insistent that I feel that alienation and that feeling of being ignored. In that moment the Mountain and I had a shared kinship. We were there offering gratitude and beauty, but most humans were too absorbed in their own nature to reach out to “the other”. I understood the message, and felt it deep in my bones. Most people just don’t care. They would rather just see the superficial instead of the deeper nature. They would rather feel comfortable in the known instead of risk being uncomfortable to talk to a stranger about what he/she might be doing.
Contrast to doing the Ceremony at Serpent Mound. I had no one show up that signed up for event tickets, however after the Ceremony I offered tobacco blessings, and every person I offered it to were eager to learn more about praying from the heart and how to offer prayers to the world around them. Most people come to Serpent Mound because the essence of the Sacred has been tended there for generations by a people with traditions. At Mount Rainier, the overwhelming numbers of tourists far outweigh the people who used to see and value the Mountain for what it meant to the people. The sacred has not been tended there, and thus the Mountain has become fickle, sharing her intimacies with the few that choose to honor the Mountain. To Mount Tahoma (Native name given to the mountain), people are insignificant and are just like ants. A minor nuisance and nothing more. He was there before humans and will continue to be there long after.
There was a beautiful moment when I was doing Ceremony at the Devils Tower in Wyoming. The sacredness has been tended by generations, and I felt it as I stepped onto the property. It was interesting being an outsider and giving gifts from another Shamanic Lineage. However, the Spirit of the Land understood the gifting process and I was not able to tap into the essence of the sacred until after I had given my humble gift. It was a private moment that made me cry, even though it was in view of the public. The sacred knows how to protect itself, but gifts given from the heart (especially after an introduction) will always be well received. It is about the honor, the acknowledgement, the respect from one living being to another, and it is about being apart of the gifting process.
Once we dig past the superficial nature of interacting with the world around us, we can find a deeper connection and interrelatedness that helps us feel more whole. Most people can’t put a finger on why they feel so disconnected or why they might feel like something is “missing” from their lives even though they feel they’re doing everything right. You know, the job, the house, the car, the 1.5 kids, etc. From my perspective, I didn’t start feeling truly whole until I touched into the innate sacred all around me. Of course it took a few soul retrieval’s and some personal work to get here because I wasn’t fully present enough in my body due to past trauma. I was legitimately missing parts of myself that could understand the meaning of the word “Sacred” and to tap into the sacred all around. I even had trouble conceiving that the sacred could even be found within myself because I had such little self esteem, and felt so disconnected from “all that is” or the universe/God, whatever you want to call it. When we want to find more meaning in our life, we will start our spiritual path down the road to connect more with the sacred in our daily lives. It’s about tending it within ourselves and acknowledging it, and giving gratitude to it outside of ourselves.
The truth is, that it’s a basic human right to have access to the sacred. But it takes work to be able to feel it viscerally within ourselves. Us humans come by it earnestly because we have had the sacred disconnected by how we were raised, society, and our mainstream culture (well, I can only speak for America). Instead, children get brought up with materialism and consumerism because it’s addictive. They lose sense of what is sacred because if something breaks – it’s replaceable. However, the divine cannot be replaced. If the rivers get polluted with fracking or oil spills, how can we “get a new river”? The mentality most have adopted is non-sustainable. It’s consumer based and not based in a reality that is sustainable.
The sacred is that deep sense of feeling or connection that you cannot put a finger on describing. It’s that feeling of feeling like a kid, looking up at the night sky with wonder and awe. It’s watching a waterfall and going, “Wow!” in appreciation. It’s about standing in that space where there is this unknown or mystery sense about things. That place of not knowing. This place of not knowing is where the magic happens, and where miracles take place. Miracles or the unexplained don’t happen that often because we don’t leave room for it. By tending and honoring the sacred within our own lives, we can connect to that profound depth of sacredness that is within nature all around us. Nature was here before us humans, and by giving gratitude to that which came before us, we honor the circle of life and awaken that seed of true love within ourselves.
Interested in joining us at a public ceremony? Follow our events on Facebook or Meetup. All of our events are free to come to and are run off of donation. If you missed us in your local area, you can view our recorded video excerpts on Facebook, YouTube or the forums. As of right now, Facebook will be your best bet because I haven’t got that great of internet reception to upload onto YouTube or the Forums quite yet.

We live in a time that is challenging. How do we become the people who can create a sustainable change and transformation in this world? Join Eagle Therapies starting in the fall of 2018 on a 9 day program stretched across 9 months.
This program was specifically crafted and co-created with Spirit to help bring people the basic foundational Shamanic Skills necessary to engage with the world around them in a good way. It doesn’t matter if you are new to this path or have been down the road of several spiritual traditions for decades. Using ancient Shamanic techniques and honoring the ancestors of the worlds traditions, we will engage with Spirit in an age old fashion that has been specifically crafted for this time. This cosmology and teachings are based off of the Cycle Teachings and the Last Mask Community, an authentic and contemporary cosmology which honors the way our ancestors have done it without taking their rituals, ceremonies and culturally appropriating them.
Stephanie Seger has graduated from Mary Tyrtle Rookers 2 year Shamanic Training program and is a current student of Christina Pratt, Shaman, Author, creator of the Why Shamanism Now podcast and Director for the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing. Through Stephanie’s vast life experiences and training, she strives to bring her best to giving her all to this program.
The Soul Compass Path is 6 hours once monthly stretching over 9 months. This program delivers a practical set of tools, techniques, and a way to engage with the more intimate aspects of yourself. If you are new to any type of spiritual exploration, this will hand you the basics. For the more seasoned practitioner, it will provide the framework to deepen your connection with your guidance and allow yourself to hear the song of your soul ever more clearly. This program is dedicated to helping one get out of their own way and step into their power with authenticity, integrity and sovereignty. Learn how to find your own life’s purpose and be able to live it in the world.
Payment is based on sliding scale, negotiated between your own heart and Spirit. Eagle Therapies is just the vessel to deliver this program of self transformation. What is the sacrifice you are willing to make? Suggested sliding scale pricing is $75-$200 per class. Payment due at time of class. Orientation and first class considered “one class”.
What might be a comfortable set of finances for one person might be a large sacrifice to another. Is $100 a night on the town, buying movie tickets and a couple of drinks while dancing? If so, then $100 is not a sacrifice, it is a simple commodity. This is an opportunity to put meaning to the monetary exchange and intentionalize it, not blankly pay with a consumerist mind.
The Spirit world understands the language of sacrifice, and it is up to you to decide what is the right price to pay within your own heart. Use your intuition and measure it with your own truth. It is possible that one month you can pay towards the higher end of the fee, while others it is the lower end. It is also possible that money is no issue at all and $200 per class does not cover the value of what is within the course material itself for you.
*reworded, but basic concept of language attributed to Christina Pratt
For those that prepay for the first class as a deposit before July 31st will receive a personalized Shamanic Healing as a gift. Can be redeemed at a distance. Your own healing starts when the commitment to your own personal healing is made.
We, as a culture, have large wounds around the exchange of money. If you would like more guidance in this arena, a lovely book you can download for free is “Sacred Economics” by Charles Eisenstein. Once you read the book and you feel compelled to gift back, then you can choose to pay for it. The Non-Local Shamanic Community that Stephanie participates in is currently doing a community wide transformation around Love and Money, and obviously it has a large impact on what she is offering to the world. If you want to change something in the world, start with yourself first. Change comes from within.
If you feel very drawn to this course but do not think you can commit to the full 9 month program, then you can choose to save up for at least the first two meetings. It is fine to pay month by month. If finances are a challenge, there is always delving deeper into the material learned and then hopping on to the program next year (yes, we are planning for this to be a repeating yearly program). Once you take the class, the materials and resources from that class will be shared with you, and you can still choose to communicate with your fellow classmates.

Wow! I am so blessed by the open community that is forming around this US Tour. There has been an interest generated that I am humbled to witness/be apart of. Here is the first of a 3 part Ceremony series called the Water Blessing Ceremony – Coast to Coast Series.
It’s not too late! This Ceremony was recorded for a reason, and the way it was energetically set up means that people can participate at any time as long as they have heart and meaning when they participate. Feel free to pass this Ceremony along to friends or family that might be interested in putting their prayers energetically into that bottle of water that currently holds water from the Potomac River. It’s short, simple and only 30 minutes. Not a lot of “woo woo”, so even people that are new to Ceremony don’t have to be intimidated. It’s as simple as saying why we are grateful for water, and all of the lovely things that water does. Apologies for the airplanes in the background! Will bring the microphone next time so the wind blowing doesn’t affect the sound quality and it will be easier to hear the speaker.
This blog post is the space for the recording, however if you would like to participate in a discussion, feel free to hop on over to the forums.
As my son and I prepare for our last week in town, the last weekend in town we hosted 3 events. The Eagle Therapies US Tour – Crucible of Transformation happened on Saturday. It was my heartfelt explanation for why I felt called to go across the United States, exposing a little bit more of my personal story. Towards the end I pose some big questions and as a group we discussed what that means for us as a small community – connecting in with larger communities. Feel free to engage in the discussion on the forums.
If you would like more clarification of what a Power Object is, follow this link.
As most know, Eagle Therapies is going across the United States for the 2018 US Tour. We will be visiting many sacred spots across the Country, and as part of my practice I will have a traveling altar with me that I will set up and break down at every location. Some items are personal, which represent my personal connection to the world around me. The other category of items that will be on my travel altar are specifically meant for other people and communities.
I’ve already got a good number of people that are willing to contribute their own personal prayers to this traveling altar. I recognize that this US Tour is not just about me. I’m not doing this for self pleasure. I have legitimately been called by Spirit to make a pilgrimage across the United States, and I am asking for your help. I can’t do this alone, because for me to do this alone dictates my Ego being the one driving/motivating this US Tour.
One way that you can participate, is that there will be three events held in Alexandria, VA on June 9th and 10th.
On the 9th, we will be doing a class/discussion about being a crucible of transformation. How does a Shamanic way of life fit into Contemporary times, and how can we go about doing that in community. Join us in Alexandria for Eagle Therapies US Tour – Crucible of Transformation at Soul Space Solutions.
On the 10th, we will have an afternoon Water Blessing Ceremony – Coast to Coast Part 1 of 3 at the Potomac at Jones Point Park. This will be the first part of 3 for a “Coast to Coast” Ceremony series, of tracking water blessings and their movement from the East Coast to the West Coast. Here’s your chance to put your prayers into the water that will be carried across to the Pacific Ocean and back.
Then on the evening of the 10th we have the Ancestral Healing Circle in Alexandria. We will be focused on connecting in with the Great Spirits of the land, as well as asking how we can live a life of legend. What stands in our way? And how do we clear out what stands in our way?
All three events will invite distance participants via Zoom. Feel free to speak your blessings to the Water that we will be collecting from the Potomac River. This water will turn into a power object that will reside on my traveling altar for the duration of the trip. Here is the main page for tracking the Water Blessings as we travel across the United States. Even if you are reading this after June 10th, feel free to still participate in the Ceremony since it will be recorded.
If speaking prayers and holding intentions in the water isn’t enough and you feel drawn to craft a power object, know that I am holding space for that across the United States. Again, this US Tour is not just about me, it’s about humanity and humanities connection to the environment. One of the reasons why I’m doing these “Awakening” Ceremonies is to help ground the transition from the Old Story into the New Story. I am apart of a Non-Local Shamanic community that is global, and we are a student community dedicated to bring forward this change in a good way.
If you are a community leader and you wish to have your community infused with this change/transformation, journey to the spirit of your community over-soul and ask to craft a power object that can be taken on the road with us. Please keep in mind that it should be a small power object. Perhaps a crystal or a feather since I will be carrying a lot of these across the states. A drum is fine or rattle is fine as long as it knows that it will be used/played by many hands. I will also take pictures of your power objects in certain power spots if requested.
If you cannot make it to one of those live events, feel free to mail your Power Objects to me. Email info@eagletherapies.com for the address, or call/text 571.306.3197. Please leave a message if you call.
Please keep in mind that this US Tour is going to take a lot of resources. I am readily accepting one time donations or monthly donations. I am also still seeing clients on the road, and am making myself available to do diagnostic journeys and divinations for people. Every contribution that is made goes directly to the success of this US Tour, ensuring safe travel of myself, my son, and these power objects as we visit different communities as well as these Sacred Sites.
Hope to see you either digitally or in person at one of the many events taking place this Summer!
