Facilitator

Angela is a healing practitioner, traditional medicine keeper, gardener, artist, medium/channeler and ceremonialist. She has continued her indigenous lineage as a young traditional healer (Bontoc and Ibaloi tribes- Igorot, Philippines). Angela received a vision directing her to explore how ritual and our innate psychic abilities can translate in the “modern world” as a step to bridge our ancestral knowledge and to begin healing historical trauma. She has since worked to integrate this directly with her social justice work. In 2013 she began coordinating free holistic and traditional healing clinics with the Bay Area’s Healing Clinic Collective. Angela is currently a teacher for Ancestral Apothecary, School of herbal, folk and indigenous medicine. She teaches regular series offerings, Ninunong Gamot, Philippine Folk and Ancestral Medicine and Decolonizing Wellness. She loves tending to her garden and facilitating the connection of plants with people. She is a certified Western Herbalist and integrates indigenous ancestral medicine in her classes. She holds her own healing practice and you can find out more about her work at: otherwaysofseeing.com | natureasmuse.etsy.com I @otherwaysofseeing
