Steve J. Wagner is the founder of Integrated Shaman and the creator of Structural Consciousness Integration (SCI). He occupies the rare space where clinical trauma work meets advanced metaphysical architecture. While his early work established him as a shamanic authority, his recent deconstruction series moves beyond the standard tropes into a relentless analysis and dismantling of spiritual misconceptions, metaphysical fallacies, and how the spiritual industry perpetuates these myths for their own benefit. He provides a structural map for those who have outgrown standard spiritualism but still require deep energetic recalibration.
Steve has dedicated over two decades to spiritual exploration, teaching, and functional healing. His journey began as a profound calling that led him to the crossroads of mysticism, metaphysics, ancient wisdom, and science. His professional background is built on a foundation of private education culminating at Little Rock Catholic High School and dual business degrees from the University of Central Arkansas where he graduated summa cum laude. A pivotal period of study in World Religions at the UCA Honors College renewed the examination of his indigenous roots and led to formal apprenticeship training in shamanic traditions. During this intensive training, Steve participated as Fireman and Keeper of the Fire for Lakota inipi ceremonies and vision quests. These events ignited his passion for shamanic traditions and set the stage for his transformative work.
A seasoned shaman, ordained minister, certified energy medicine practitioner, Reiki Master, paranormal investigator, and author, Steve weaves together indigenous wisdom, intuitive insight, and scientific interest. His energy medicine practice integrates traditional techniques with contemporary tools and technology to support an exclusive immersive healing experience. This unique blend of knowledge empowers others to awaken their inner healer, heal from past trauma, and recognize the architecture in which we operate.
Other continuing education and certifications include hypnotherapy, personal training, and past life regression. These experiences, along with two near death events, provided him with a profound understanding of the Mind Body Spirit connection and the walk of a Shaman. In 2015, Steve established the Journey Circle and Earth Medicine Chakra Workshops at the Academy of Holistic Arts in Little Rock.
Then in 2020, he introduced the innovative protocol now known as Structural Consciousness Integration (SCI). SCI is an advanced trauma informed energetic treatment developed to address the fragmentation, dissociation, and identity collapse historically referred to in shamanic traditions as soul loss. While rooted in traditional Soul Retrieval, SCI reflects a refined understanding of how consciousness fragments under trauma, religious rupture, and life altering thresholds. Through SCI, dissociated consciousness and missing Qi Life Force is restored to the mainstream to bring functional wholeness without reliance on symbolic performance or spiritual bypassing.
As an author, Steve’s written works reflect a commitment to examining anomalous phenomena and spiritual structures with discernment rather than spectacle. This is also evident in his television debut on The Others' Side which captivated audiences on Paraflixx and Amazon Prime Video. His early books include Simpatico: Reconciling The Disparity of Spirituality, Ancient Wisdom, and Modern Science and its Essential Supplement, alongside The Major Arcana, a deep exploration of archetypal resonance and the symbolic language of tarot; but in an unexpected, non‑conventional voice. His popular article Practical Ways To Be More Spiritual offers accessible insights to make daily activities profound events.
His most recent writings represent a move into critical examination and metaphysical deconstruction. This series includes The Illusion of Linear Time: The Root of Modern Spiritual Fallacies and The Botched “Divine” Experiment: Bungle in the Jungle, which exposes the structural flaws behind the human experience. His metaphysical fiction, Celestial Currents: The Unscripted Soul, explores incarnation and the breakdown of divine planning. Essential post collapse analysis is further found in his essays The Dark Side of Ascension: Not Rapture, But Rupture and Modern Spirituality Will Never Bring Awakening or Ascension.
Known as the Integrated Shaman, Steve works at the intersection of practice and critique. He honors traditional shamanic roots while refining the language and application for contemporary life. Drawing from ancient knowledge, modern sources, and personal experience, he delivers truly natural and integrated methods for holistic energetic well being. Whether you seek spiritual direction, face personal thresholds, or wish to reclaim lost pieces of Self, Integrated Shaman offers treatments and analysis that resonate across Mind, Body, and Spirit.
