About the Teachers of Journeys of the Spirit® !


Sheri Rosenthal Sheri Rosenthal DPM author of The Idiot's Guide to Toltec Wisdom, Banish Mind Spam: Four Steps for Deprogramming Self-Limiting and Self-Sabotaging Beliefs! and WITH Forgiveness - Are You Ready?, is devoted to combining in a practical way, the wonderful esoteric teachings from our many beloved spiritual teachers and traditions along with her own Toltec wisdom. Using her unique background she transforms these teachings into clear concepts peppered with wry humor and lots of love! She delights in bringing forth these teachings and watching people transform before her eyes.

It is her pleasure to combine her personal work with that of other teachers to bring you the most up to date, clear and transformative work. Bringing these esoteric teachings forth in a way that we can incorporate them into our busy lives is the key to this process - especially since very few of us are likely to live in a monastery. Her process is different and exciting and you will find it to be one of the most transformative methods yet!

Sheri's personal adventure began some seven years ago when she was going through a challenging time in her life. She realized on some level that she had never been truly happy in her life. After changing husbands, cities, podiatric practices and friends, she still had no real joy in her life. On her own she had started to look at her life with objectivity but still could not see what needed to be changed. A leap of faith was the last resort. The practice and home were sold and the residency program she was director of was closed. Everything she owned went into storage or was sold.

During this time she received a copy of don Miguel's book The Four Agreements® in her soft covered book club. She saw there was a trip to the sacred site of Teotihuacán coming up and she figured traveling there would solve her problems - so to speak! The journey was profound - she discovered there wasn't anything outside of herself that needed changing at all - instead it was what she believed about herself and her world that needed changing!

It was the first time she saw herself as a reflection of the divine and she realized her pain stemmed from her basic lack of self love and a whole lot of limiting beliefs. She made a commitment to herself to travel this beautiful spiritual path called life and to accept whatever the universe made available to her. The most important thing that Sheri has learned on her journey is that everyone has the same opportunity for transformation; it just takes discipline, will, courage, persistence and a whole lot of self love!

As a result, Sheri is a Master Toltec Teacher trained by don Miguel Ruiz, the author of The Four Agreements® and has apprenticed with him for the past 8 years. She was a Podiatrist for 16 years in her pre-Toltec days and the director of a surgical residency program. From 2000 to 2002 she acted as Executive Director of Sixth Sun Foundation, a Toltec non-profit corporation. There Sheri had the opportunity and privilege to design and run don Miguel Ruiz's spiritual journeys, and co-teach with him at his workshops.

Over the past years Sheri has had many profound and incredible experiences that have ripped the structure of her life apart and changed the way she sees this reality. It is her goal to share the possibilities of that reality and the light of the divine to all those she meets. Participating in the active creation of the dream of heaven on earth is her idea of personal freedom!

Ken Eagle DC

Ken Eagle DC After being introduced to the Toltec path at the young age of 17, Dr. Ken Eagle began studying The Four Agreements® in 2002, attending workshops and seminars by Toltec Master don Miguel Ruiz, author of NY Times best-selling book The Four Agreements®. In 2003, Ken became an apprentice of Dr. Sheri Rosenthal, Toltec Mentor and author of The Complete Idiots Guide to Toltec Wisdom. In addition to his unique style of holistic body work as a practicing Chiropractor for the past 12 years, Dr. Eagle is excited and honored to share the practical and life changing wisdom of The Four Agreements® and the Toltec path.

From experiences and challenges faced as a single father, Ken is especially interested in the raising of spiritually aware children and in the complex healing of the male spirit as he relates to the world around him. After his marriage ended in 1997 and custody of his then 2 year old daughter, Dr. Eagle began to navigate the seemingly complicated waters of both single parenthood and romantic relationships. With little awareness and repeated experiences of frustration and unhappiness he developed a deep desire to take inventory of his life, his beliefs and his choices. Through the Toltec path he has transformed those negative core beliefs and is now in a unique position to guide others who are interested in either finding or creating loving relationships with a significant other as well as those who want to share with their children the wondrous wisdom of a spiritual path and integrate that path with the practicality and grounding necessary in our current society.


Millie Munoz

Millie Munoz After many years of self-rejection and shame, Millie reached what she believed was the end with no other option other than to end her life. Little did she know that this would be the beginning of her journey in discovering a life of love, peace and joy. She was introduced to The Four Agreements® by don Miguel Ruiz and began mentoring with Dr. Sheri Rosenthal, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Toltec Wisdom. She has spent over 5 years breaking the beliefs that were holding her prisoner to pain and began experiencing acceptance and unconditional love. Growing up with physical challenges herself, Millie loves the opportunity to share with others in looking beyond any perceived limitations to see their true beauty and ultimate expression. She also enjoys sharing in Spanish (she is our Spanish speaking expert!) and looking at all the beliefs that might have be holding you back from experiencing your personal freedom.


Brandt Morgan

Brandt Morgan A Toltec mentor trained by don Miguel Ruiz, Brandt Morgan combines the teachings of three ancient and powerful traditions: Toltec, Native American, and the wisdom of the heart. His spiritual journey began more than 20 years ago in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey during a vision quest that continues to this day. Since then he has lived and worked as a freelance writer and spiritual teacher in Seattle, Santa Fe, and San Diego, always eagerly absorbing native lore and new experiences.

In addition to being a certified firewalking instructor, Brandt has written four books with Tom Brown, Jr. (The Tracker) on wilderness survival and nature awareness skills (Tom Brown's Field Guides). He is also the creator of VISION WALK, a remarkable new meditation process that makes it possible to answer any question or solve any problem in less than 30 minutes. Currently available on CD from his website at www.brandtmorgan.com, this process will soon be published in book form under the title: VISION WALK: Simple Steps to Inner Wisdom. He is currently finishing another book, PLANTING YOUR NEW TREE OF LIFE: A Ritual of Personal Transformation.

With his deep love for the earth, Brandt uses the elements of nature to shatter old beliefs and open doors to the true self. He also uses insight, compassion, Toltec dreaming techniques, and the magic of sacred song to shift old patterns, heal the emotional body, and uplift the spirit. As a guide to personal freedom, his greatest joy is to watch his students discover their own radiant beings and begin to live their greatest dreams.

Love, Mark
