A Season of Eagles

About the Book

A Season of Eagles is an astonishing spiritual adventure that dances from the terrifying to the ecstatic, the unknown to certainty, through the Arizona deserts to visionary dreamscapes and beyond.

About the Author

Josie RavenWing, BA in dance movement therapy and MA in clinical and humanistic psychology, had her first visionary experience when she was about 10 months old, and this set her on a lifelong journey of spiritual explorations and discovery.

In the early 1970s, she began her work in the field of human development as an innovative pioneer of dance therapy and holistic healing. She also started exploring shamanistic traditions, which she has incorporated in her work since that time. At Antioch University in Seattle, she developed and taught courses in the first Holistic Health graduate program in the U.S. During that same period, her growing concern about women's issues and self-esteem inspired her to organize one of Seattle's first women's support groups, and later led her to create a variety of workshops and retreats to meet women's needs for spiritual exploration and growth.

Josie continued to expand her work, including with men and women. Throughout several decades as a psychotherapist, she has integrated Western theory with spiritual, shamanistic and hands-on healing practices of many cultures. She applies her grounded, ongoing synthesis in counseling work with individuals and as an accomplished seminar leader. She has lectured at college campuses and offered her seminars in the United States and abroad since 1983. In addition to her workshops and individual healing work, the "Desert Visions" retreats she offers in Dinetah (Arizona's Navajo land) and her healing journeys to Brazil (which include sessions with Brazil's most famous healer Joao de Deus, subject of the book The Miracle Man) are some of the most exciting programs Josie makes available to the public.

RavenWing's creativity also expresses itself through her songwriting, poetry, ceremonial leadership and spiritual dance choreography. She is the author of The Return of Spirit: A Woman's Call to Spiritual Action (published in 1996 by Health Communications, Inc.) and her poem "Song for the Journey" is featured in Michael Harner's well-known classic on shamanism, The Way of the Shaman. RavenWing continues to explore ways to inspire people toward a life of awareness, beauty and spiritual fulfillment.
