I give great gratitude to everyone that has been supporting Eagle Therapies as we continue on this path, providing an excellent response from the US Tour. We have reached over 500 people with the newsletter per month, and I am humbled at the donations received to make sure that we succeed. This newsletter is a bit more personal and vulnerable then others, because I’ll be communicating myself and my motivations for what is driving me across the United States. I will not be including a Community calendar down at the bottom, because during the summer months communities explode with activity and get togethers. However, there will be links to other great resources for fun things/events to do this Summer in the DC area.
One of the animal totems that I have been working with more has been Buffalo. Back in February of 2017, I had an experience where I died and came back with the assistance of a Buffalo spirit. Buffalo came to teach me more about myself, because I have this tendency to be a big giver. It is part of my medicine to produce an abundance of things, and to contribute to other people living comfortably. The Buffalo have been such a giver and have thrived because of sacred reciprocity. They were honored and revered to the people that lived their lives in relationship with them. With the introduction of the colonizing mind, they were exploited. They were pushed to the brink of extinction because they were not honored for the gifts they gave. The sacred was taken out of that relationship, and they just became less then what they are. Not valued for the gifts they brought.
In that same fashion, I echo that journey. I would give of myself to the point where there was little to no respect for myself. I overextended and pushed myself to the brink of my own extinction. It was in my nature to keep giving until I had nothing left. It wasn’t until I was honored by the Buffalo Nation that came to me as I flatlined on the floor of that Walgreens. Thus begun my path of clearing out all of the ways I was not honoring the sacred within myself, and my transformation with my new non-local Shamanic Community that held my feet to the fire. I give great gratitude to my teachers Christina Pratt and Mary Tyrtle Rooker, as well as the Last Mask Community for helping me dive deep into myself to find the overall themes.
Now, what does this have to do with you? You guys are reading this newsletter. Eagle Therapies IS me. It is an expression of my medicine out in the world, and this is the transparency I am sharing with you. Because I have honored the sacred within myself (and trust me, this will be an ongoing thing), I am bringing that medicine across the United States. My intention is to connect people together with the true heart and meaning of ritual and Ceremony through laughter and fun. It’s a daunting task, but Great Spirit seems to think I am up for the challenge.
Just know that you being you and witnessing this journey is a big part of it. I'm not asking for you to do anything. If you feel called to help, then you can listen to some pre-recorded material/ceremonies/journey groups. Keeping the spirit of Eagle Therapies alive means engaging in the material that we release. Another way you can contribute is to look on Facebook or Meetup for events, and to share them when you can. Yes, this is a big financial investment for me, and if you feel called to contribute financially, you can schedule a session, book a divination, or ask for a diagnostic shamanic journey. You can also make a one time donation for gas and food, buy a t-shirt/tank top or you can contribute monthly with some pretty awesome rewards.
Please know that as I travel across the states, I wish people to know that I am not a Shaman. I am a Shamanic Practitioner and hope to share my knowledge and skill set with others so they can start find their own path with grace and ease.
Stay tuned for new updates for the Tour, and check in with Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for updates with live videos, ceremonies and crazy pictures.
Let’s be the answer to the prayers our ancestors have been dreaming of.
Shamanic Journey Group and Eagle Therapies Calendar
The hilarious thing? I'm still seeing clients and doing Shamanic Journey Groups, as well as Ancestral Healing Circles on the road. Feel free to tune in to Facebook or Meetup for more details! We will be switching things around a little bit. For the past few months I've been letting participants join in via distance to the bi-weekly groups - but now the bi-weekly journey group can join me on the road! Here's a brief list of the different events going on before I leave. As well as some Ceremonies that got nailed down. Things are still in flux and there's a lot of moving parts to making sure these Ceremonies are a success. Hooray for co-creation!

Live or Distance Participation for kick off weekend!
The weekend of June 9th-10th will have 3 different events which will give ample opportunity for people to participate in engagement with the US Tour. Feel free to come for the presentation and discussion group surrounding the motivations behind the Eagle Therapies US Tour on June 9th.
All 3 events will also allow distance participation, so feel free to chime in whenever you can across the weekend! On Sunday we will be doing a special Water Blessing Ceremony series called "Coast to Coast"where we will be collecting water from the Potomac River and singing, speaking, or rattling our prayers into the water and thanking the Potomac River for its cleansing properties. Especially for helping cleanse Washington DC. This is the first Ceremony of a 3 part series where I will be dumping part of it into the Puget Sound in Washington state (part 2), collecting some water from the Puget Sound, doing the same thing over there (singing, speaking or rattling prayers into the water and giving gratitude), then bringing it back to the Potomac to dump all of it back into the River. Some will be sent back to Washington to pour into the Puget Sound as a gratitude for protection of all of these Ceremonies we will be hosting on the road.
In the evening we will be hosting a special Ancestral Healing Ceremony in Alexandria, VA called, "Living a Life of Legend". What does it mean to be born in this time and to have such great Ancestors? We will be reaching back through all of our family line to the original Ancestors of fire and water. Through them we reach through to the earth and sky. How can we not be legendary if we know that we are descended from the elements themselves? This will be the kickoff Ceremony, and another opportunity for those in Northern Virginia to bless the water in person before it goes on its merry way on this US Tour with us.
This will also be the opportunity to receive Power Objects for the US Tour. Personal prayers or community prayers accepted. You will get the Power Objects back and mailed to you.

All of these Ceremonies, events, and services I provide are gifts from my heart. I have the ability and drive to do them, and I can't do this without you. First of all, thank you for even reading this far! Your feedback helps me grow into the person I am becoming because I see the affect of how this newsletter and these events touch peoples lives.
For those that don't know, Eagle Therapies is my full time gig. It's been a hard transition from working hourly to being my own boss. It's also challenging since I am simultaneously participating in a powerful transformation with my non-local shamanic community about Love and Money. I already don't charge set prices and instead allow sliding scale for payment of my services. I also have all of my events run by donation due to the generous gifting from the communities these events support.
Since this US Tour is going to take a lot of resources, please consider donating any way that you can. I am placing my trust in the hands of the Universe, and the loyal fans as we travel. This can be in the form of offering up a crash space, offering to cook food and bring it to an event, or telling your friends and family members interested in some of the events. Every offer of help that we get is a gift. Every service and event that I offer or lead is a gift. Let's help each other grow our gifts together instead of holding back :)
Here are some more direct ways you can contribute if you are interested:
Asking for a Diagnostic Journey - Feel really stuck and just need an extra little push? Sometimes a diagnostic journey or divination can help loosen things up
As promised, here are some great resources that are local that you can check out their events!
5Rhythms - Lovely support in being able to find alternative ways to release that pent up energy and transform things within yourself through dance
Ecstatic Dance DC - Facebook and Meetup Link - For those interested in finding movement and flow in a sacred way.
The Bhava Collective - Wonderful collection of Ecstatic dance, sound baths and Cacao Ceremonies.
Katy Gaughanand the Takoma Park drum circles - Awesome drum circles and Katy also does an event called "Drumming for Wellness".
Hands on Drums - Drumming classes, workshops, and events right in Washington DC
Tribe of Beltway Shamans on Meetup and Facebook - Great collection of Ceremonies in the area
Woven Green - A gifted duo that offer sound healing ceremonies and events all over, even sometimes stretching to PA.
There are so many more! But those are the major things that I keep recommending to people as time goes on! Explore meetup, reach out and network with other communities :) But most of all, have fun this Summer! I know I will!
