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.

Angela finds endless inspiration sharing the path of sacred evolution and consciousness through her unique offering of Sacred Life Animism. As a practical woman and gifted deep diver, LittleBird’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 Qoriwaman) in Peru, Blackfeet Siksikaitsitapi elders in Canada, Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and the sacred Plant Medicines

Sacred Life

Animism is a spiritual path of soul evolution and life transformation.

As a spiritual way of living based in mysticism, healing, and folk medicine, Sacred Life Animism 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 White Bone Shamanism, Sacred Life Animism, is a unique offering that weaves together:

  • animist practice and ritual

  • energy transmissions

  • psychedelic healing

  • wisdom teachings

  • ancestral healing

  • energy medicine mastery

  • and somatic psychology

Through this spiritual way of living, we learn to come home to our Quintessential nature - our unique essence - remembering our sacred mission and gifts to blossom into into a skilled, resilient, and radiant human.

Angela shares Sacred Life Animism in her 1:1 microdosing sessions and programs, forest-cacao sound events, and 12-month apprenticeship

Where I stand

the land

I honor and deeply acknowledge the Indigenous people and nations who for thousands of years, have stewarded the land and water where I live, raise my family, and share my work. I recognise that I am an uninvited guest here, and acknowledge that the ancestral and traditional lands were stolen and are the unceded First Nation territories of the Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) in so-called Port Moody, and the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Stó:lō and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) territories, in so-called British Columbia. I also acknowledge my gratitude for all of the plants, animals, minerals, and waterways and am committed to treating all beings with respect and reverence.

all are welcome

Animism is a daily life practice rooted in spiritual ecology and kinship with the understanding that we are all connected at its heart. It’s deeply important for me to create welcoming spaces for people from all races, nationalities, socio-economic backgrounds, ages, abilities, sexual orientations, and gender identities, as well as cultural, political, religious, and other affiliations. ALL are welcome.

As a healer and spiritual guide, I can’t truly practice without doing my best to understand and address the loss, stress, violence, and discrimination that Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Non-Binary, Queer/ Questioning (LGBTQ+) and people with disabilities are faced with. If one person’s wellness is impacted due to discrimination because of their race, religion, age, ability, sexual orientation, or gender identity, then we are all impacted, our planet is impacted.

My aim is to foster an inclusive and safe space through open communication, humility, and mutual respect where everyone is to be treated with dignity and grace, and that within this space my events, courses, and online offerings are safe for all who come.

At the same time, I acknowledge that my experience is one of white privilege. I’m a middle-aged, white, slender, cis, straight woman, non-disabled, and neurodivergent with post-secondary education. All this to say that I’m privileged and with that comes ignorance, and the realization that I’ve made more than my share of big mistakes that have caused harm. I have a long way to go on my lifelong journey of listening, unlearning, dismantling, and decolonizing and I’m conscious of my responsibility to engage in these in an effort to contribute to the equity of all.

In our work and in our living, we must recognize that difference is a reason for celebration and growth, rather than a reason for destruction.
