Bean Feasa
Bean Feasa: Irish, pronounced “bahn feasa.” Woman of knowing, walker between the worlds, healer, companion to the Land.
Over the last 25 years Angela has been blessed to immerse for thousands of hours in the wisdom of many sacred landscapes and circles, while learning animist folk healing (shamanic) from her Irish ancestors, Indigenous medicine teachers, and sacred plant teachers.
As an initiated spiritual healer, seer, and ceremonialist, she has been leading transformational events and ceremonies around the globe supporting over 5000 people to rediscover the sacred landscape of their soul.
Her experience as a Somatic Practitioner, Family Systems Counselor, and Life Coach provide a practical framework, and trauma-informed bridge between ancient and modern spirituality and healing.
She has been a guest speaker at Simon Fraser University, the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine, and the Spirit Plant Medicine Conference at the University of British Columbia.
Angela finds endless inspiration sharing the path of sacred evolution and consciousness through her unique offering of The Essential Revolution Apprenticeship for Conscious Living. As a practical woman and gifted deep diver, Angela’s offerings are rooted in her lifelong kinship with Nature, devotion to intrepid travel and adventure, and conscious living.
Her medicine lineages include: ancestral Lands and teachers of Ireland and Australia, Don Martin Pinedo Acuna (Don Benito Qorihuaman) in Peru, Blackfeet Siksikaitsitapi elders in Canada, Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and the sacred Plant teachers
Angela’s teachings have formed a spiritual path of soul evolution and life transformation.
A spiritual way of living based in mysticism, healing, and folk medicine, the Animist medicine path is all about bringing together the mystical and the practical, in order to align our inner soul life with our outer world.
Previously known as Sacred Life Shamanism, this unique offering weaves together:
animist practice and ritual
plant spirit medicine
ancestral healing
somatic psychology
energy transmissions
wisdom teachings
energy medicine mastery
Through this spiritual way of living, we learn to come home to our unique essence - remembering our sacred mission and gifts to share as a skilled, resilient, and radiant human.
Angela shares the medicine path in her 1:1 sessions and ceremonies, Souledelic events, and apprenticeship trainings.
Teachers, elders, Community, Land
I doubt I will ever find enough words of gratitude for the incredibly generous, powerful, and humble teachers, who have shared their wisdom, held my feet to the fire, and loved me forward. I continue to receive their support and guidance daily. Although online learning is almost the norm these days, we are indeed embodied, therefore I’m so grateful that almost all of my animist, shamanic, somatic, and soul medicine training has been completed in-person. It’s listed in detail below.
