Events
Cacao Ceremony & Soundbath
The Cacao circle was a beautiful mix of ecstatic dance, sound journey, and some lovely deep breathwork. I felt immediately moved as I entered the space and knew it was going to be an amazing evening, and it was lovely seeing so many different people there. I think all of us received something special that night. I am looking forward to more.

Earth Medicine Retreat
I'd been wanting to try an earth medicine retreat with Angela for a while, mainly to help release fear and anxiety. The experience was very supportive and gave me space to come closer to my own truth and inner wisdom. I love the way Angela holds space for others. She is warm, open, and strong. I felt I could show up 100% and no matter what I said or experienced, there would be no judgement. I came away from the retreat with a greater awareness of my own deep wisdom, as well as my capacity for greater self-acceptance. Angela is a gifted space holder and spiritual teacher that I'll continue to recommend.

Angela Prider conducts workshops with an eye to a safe experience for all who attend. She is superb at conveying complex concepts simply and effectively. Her skilled intuition, as well as her deep knowledge of shamanism and ceremony, invite the individual on a unique journey of self-discovery. Participants learn how to bring old patterns to light prompting new possibilities and insights that enrich one's life. These gifts make her a most remarkable teacher.

1:1 Sessions
Angela profoundly helped me on my healing journey. Words cannot express how I felt after an intense 75min soul retrieval session. At first there was no noticeable change. But the night of my soul retrieval I dreamt of a baby - which I believe to be a sign of renewal and of my baby self returning home. What's more I now feel at peace in my own body as I feel the gaping hole has been healed and sealed. Thank you, Thank you!
—Liz, Vancouver
I have been working with Angela for three years and have had multiple sessions with her. Angela's approach is grounded and warm and I greatly appreciate her direct style of communication. The sessions are collaborative and I leave each time with insight and food for thought to work through in the coming months. I will say that Angela will tell you what needs to be said not what you wish to hear and so I would recommend her only to those who genuinely wish to change.
—Karen S, Australia
I decided to work with Angela at a time of major transformation in my life. Our sessions served as guideposts helping me find my way back to myself, reconnecting with who I was. In our somatic work and through ancestral journeying, I redefined how I wanted to move through life and I grew new confidence in what I have to bring into the world as a person and therapeutic musician. Angela held space for me in a gentle, non-judgemental, and nurturing way. She also has a great sense of humor! Many of the things that she encouraged me to think about, whether in relation to healing, parenting, stepping into authentic living or embracing my artistic creativity have stayed with me to this day.

CEREMONY
GENTLE DIVE
I came into the ceremony carrying some self-judgment that had been blocking my creative flow, and I felt ready to let that go. The part I connected with most was the extended drumming. The sound and vibration were deeply meditative, helping my body soften and allowing space for an internal release to unfold naturally. Angela closed the ceremony with the gentle medicine of Rapéh which I found deeply grounding, and bringing me a sense of clarity and integration. I left the ceremony feeling held, supported, and genuinely nourished at a soul level. This ceremony helped me reconnect with the strength that already lives within me and trust the timing of my own unfolding.
—Iryna K, White Rock
COHERENT HEART SOUNDBATH
When I went to the Unity Drum sound bath, I was honestly amazed by how powerful it felt. The deep vibrations of the drum were so grounding and immersive. It felt like I could release tension and emotions that had been stuck for a long time. I left feeling calmer and more centered. Angela creates a safe, supportive space, and you can feel the care she puts into the experience. I highly recommend this soundbath and any event where Angela has the Horse Unity Drum.
—Mackenzie R, North Vancouver
1:1 GENTLE DIVE
I write this with gratitude after my ceremony with Angela whose gentle and loving presence was a blessing that supported and guided me through facing some really hard challenges. Several times as I floundered, her calm reassured me and encouraged me to continue. It gave me a solid base, knowing that even in the tumult I was okay. The compassion that was delivered in her singing entered my heart and allowed me to move deeply with the emotions that were being released. I could not have asked for a more appropriate and skilled guide. The universe blessed me with the most perfect of healers in that moment. I am deeply thankful and I look forward to sharing ceremony with you in the future.
—Sean P, Victoria BC
GENTLE DIVE
I first met Angela through her Souledelic ceremonies and found them to be an amazing space where I felt really safely held. In one of the ceremonies, she led us on a journey and at the time, I was turning 50 and I felt quite lost so I decided to schedule a 1:1 Healing Ceremony so I could experience her shamanic healing skills as well as the Unity Horse Drum. That ceremony was a very beautiful and very poignant journey into my present life situation. In the ceremony I faced making decisions for my life that I was reluctant to make but that were based in deep self love. The ceremony was also an opportunity for me to once again connect with my deep, divine, feminine energy again after losing touch with it. Angela helped me see what I needed to see and heal what I needed to heal. I highly recommend her. She has a really professional approach and knows how to hold you and make sure you are really taken care of. She is a deep listener and is exceptionally intuitive. I can’t recommend her enough.

SOULEDELIC CEREMONY
Angela Prider is a true healer and has been a trusted guide on my spiritual journey. The past two years in my ceremonies with Angela I have experienced deep soul healing. Of late, I have attended four Souledelic ceremonies which have been super powerful to deepen my integration work.
I would highly recommend giving yourself the gift of ceremony with Angela to take the journey from your head to your heart.
—Neill R, Vancouver
1:1 GENTLE DIVE
A few years ago I was called to try the ceremony and I’m so grateful I listened to the whisper from within. So many unique things happened. Things that were out of my sight became known, healed and released through a sense of connection and love. With Angela’s guidance in the integration stage, I’ve been able to recognize and set healthier boundaries, which has fostered deeper relationships and prosperity in my life. Sitting in ceremony with Angela is now a regular part of my wellness practice. Thank you for all that you do, know and honour in your teachers. I feel truly blessed.
—Lisa van Reeuwyk, Business Coach
1:1 GENTLE DIVE
I came to the healing ceremony with Angela struggling to come to terms with an unhealthy relationship and the fear, pain and guilt about changing it and accepting aloneness. Angela made me feel supported, heard and understood. She is a gifted, intuitive person. The whole experience was new and different for me and opened me up to new ways of seeing things. If you decide to have a 1:1 session, I hope you get as much out of it as I did.
—Belle, Vancouver
COUPLES CEREMONY
Angela is an incredible somatic therapist, sound healer, and space holder. My husband and I recently booked a Couples Healing Ceremony to help us navigate some relationship challenges. The ceremony began with Angela skillfully leading us through a somatic counselling session, which helped each of us get really clear about what we need in the relationship and what we want from the other person. We both felt very supported. After the counselling part of the session, Angela led us into a ceremony, which included a Horse Drum soundbath and shamanic journey, which was so beautiful and heart opening. We came away feeling deeply supported - it was the best couples session we've ever done! If you're thinking about working with Angela, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
—Monica K, Pt Moody
SOULEDELIC CEREMONY
Angela provides a sweet circle to drink up the nectar of her spiritual knowledge which has helped me gather the sacred essentials for my daily life.

MONTHLY CONTAINER
Recently, when I discovered that I had a recurrence of my breast cancer, I sought Angela’s guidance to help me understand this next part of my journey from a soul perspective. In the past I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different types of therapists—psychotherapists, psychiatrists, and others. While each brought something unique, I found that what supported me most deeply were practices that connected me to the natural world, invited ceremony and ritual, and opened a space for journeying and inner imagery. This is why working with Angela was a natural choice. Together, over 5 sessions, Angela and I worked to tend to the parts of myself that are so easily overlooked on the conventional path of health and healing. The practices we fostered together have helped me feel closest to my soul self. This is the kind of work that has felt the most honest, the most necessary, and the most healing during an incredibly difficult time. Angela brings a deeply human presence to her work—she shares her insights and experiences with care, humility, and respect. Her personal practice and lived experience flow beautifully into our sessions giving me a chance to learn from a gifted animist practitioner with so much to share.
Almost all of my most impactful moments with Angela have revolved around creating space for ritual. It has been deeply affirming to work with someone who not only helps tailor these rituals to meet my personal needs, but who also supports the integration of those experiences. That integration has been just as important as the rituals themselves—allowing the meaning and healing they bring to continue unfolding long after the moment has passed.
Working with Angela offers a powerful opportunity for anyone who is seeking a guide and a guardian through the parts of the self that need care, attention, and gentle companionship. An intuitive and experienced practitioner, Angela’s insights, reflections, and ability to create space for deep inner work have had a profound impact on the way I regard myself and what I am capable of. Our work together has given me not only the time and tools I needed to heal, but also the space to deepen my own connection to the land I live on—and to remember the relationship that’s always been there.

Apprenticeship
This past year has meant so much to me and I just want to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of our amazing group. It’s been more than I ever imagined. There was a point during the weekend retreat that I made a conscious decision I was all in which led to a profound powerful experience of being connected to something vast and beautiful. I had a similar experience at the second retreat when I was standing in the center of the 3 spirals. These moments have been uniquely powerful and I felt solid and grounded in a way I can’t properly articulate. When you asked us what has changed over the past year it was difficult to narrow that down into a brief synopsis. I think what has really been carried forward into my life is the knowledge that faith is a practice and needs to be practiced so it can grow and flourish. You’re an excellent teacher Angela and I am so very grateful.
—Bruce W, PEI
Conscious Community
From the very first weekend, Angela's teachings affected me in a profound way and everything in my life started to make sense. We learned about journeying, proper protocol, building our Medicine Hearth and the cosmovision of the 7-Threads lineage as a tool for navigating life. Not only did I gain so much knowledge, I also developed connections with wonderful people walking the same path. As part of the apprenticeship, I have access to an online group where we discuss what we have learned and help each other with integration. Apart from being highly organized and thorough in her work, Angela has a beautiful way of providing sacred space and ceremony that feels down to earth and connected to Spirit. I am forever grateful for the teachings and the path.
— Caitlin, Tarot Reader, Moonbird Farms
Spiritual Growth
I am amazed at the spiritual growth that has taken place for me as a result of the apprenticeship. Angela is a passionate and gifted Shamanic Practitioner, and creates a wonderfully supportive healing and learning environment. I would highly recommend this program.
— Sandy Dow, Author Thriving In Chaos
PRACTITIONER PROGRAM
Throughout my entire journey studying with Angela Prider I have been encouraged and taught to facilitate my connection with my Guides, Archetypal Energies, Sacred Interdimensional Locations and more. I have learned how to develop a relationship with my Helpers & Guides. Once I entered the practitioners program I was taught how those long standing relationships with my Guides & Helpers could function to support others not simply myself.
Angela held an intimate space where she shared methods of how to support clients as well as openly discussed her personal experiences in different situations and what she did in order to accomplish specific goals such as Psychopomp, Soul Retrieval & Extraction and Curse Unravelling.
Angela Prider’s practitioner program was a deep dive into tasks that could be accomplished with the abilities and skills that I have been developing with Angela’s tutelage over many years. I am very thankful to have these advanced skills and to be able to refer back to my course content and inquire with my teacher, Angela, for additional support when necessary. She has been very supportive over the years and I am extremely thankful she offered her practitioner program and that she chose me to attend.

Spiritual Counsel and Leadership
Angela is a fantastic spiritual teacher and healer. The spirits are strong with her, but she does not carry them heavily or loudly. I was delighted to find that she is very powerful, very knowledgeable, and has a ton of information to pass on to students. Her years of experience with spiritual leadership and counselling shine through her teaching.
— Sky, Goodwin Creative
Animist Apprenticeship
Working with Angela in the apprenticeship has changed my life in profound ways. When I began, my actions and thoughts were causing me a lot of suffering . I was not completely unhappy but I was struggling. Almost 3 years later, I am content with my life. I have learned so much about being at peace with myself and the world around me. I am deeply fulfilled by the practices I've learned and the animistic way of living in sacred reciprocity - especially with nature. I feel myself as a part of the magic of life around me and feel supported by it. I am deeply grateful for being given the skills to awaken the medicine in myself and this beautiful practice.
— Jessie Phoenix, RTC & Shamanic Practitioner
Psychedelic Integration
Integration Circles
The weeks and months after Ceremony are a precious time. It’s easy to think that everything is "fixed" and carry on as before, however integration work has shown me that big lessons need time to unravel and fully understand. Integration helps keep the healing process alive, so I can continue to grow, and really practice and learn a new way of being and understanding myself and how I fit in this life.
Plant Spirit Medicine Integration circles have brought amazing people into my life who lovingly share their own innate wisdom, and give me an opportunity to reciprocate. My most impactful learning has been that I can feel my deepest emotions, share these and be not just "ok" but stronger for it! I can be exactly and deeply who I am. The circles have been the most important part of the process for me and allowed me to fully accept the gifts of ceremony and weave them into my life.
—Susan, Mama & Journeywoman
Deep Healing
The medicine path is a very sacred path to me and not an easy one. The Ceremony opens the door to the truth of who we are and where our work is, but integration helps us walk through the door, so we can allow the healing to happen, make practical change, and live our truth. I’ve been able to go deeper into my healing because integration makes it more digestible, helps regulate my nervous system, and offers me a day to day practice. I am very grateful for the important platform and safe environment of the integration circles, as well as what I’ve learned and applied in my journey through Angela's wisdom sharing and guidance.
— Venus, Artist & Designer
Inner Work
When I returned home from South America, I felt inspired and balanced for a week or so. I tried to self-integrate but couldn’t make sense of the powerful messages and deeper spiritual meanings I had received in Ceremony. I didn’t understand what do with them, or how to create action steps to deal with my fear and resistance.
Through the integration circles, I discovered that this is where the real inner work begins! I have found spiritual community, guidance, and emotional education. With each session, I’ve embraced a deeper gratitude for my plant allies, ancestors, animals, Indigenous land, and sacred space. The most significant lesson I've gained is to trust in the process.
—Paula, Massage Therapist
Mentorship
Having Someone in My Corner
When looking for a mentor I look for someone who embraces beginners mind, who is willing to look again, and is on the same learning/unlearning journey as me, but further along on the path. This is what drew me to Angela. I feel seen, heard, appreciated, and supported - like I have someone in my corner who will be straight with me, with love as the only motivation. The tough conversations have been most impactful because they’re celebrated instead of swept under the rug, and this has led to liberation. Angela holds a very powerful container this way. If you are looking for someone with integrity and embodied wisdom to walk with you through light and dark, you want to work with Angela.
- Tara, Meditation Teacher
A Safe Space for Practitioners
As a practitioner and teacher, working with Angela as a mentor is like having a soft place to land with someone who knows exactly what I am talking about, and understands in a deep way the intricacies and specific things that come up not just with my practice but also with my personal life. Angela understands the intersection of where these meet, and that we practitioners also need someone to confide in, who will hold us to the integrity we wish to walk with. Working with her has not only made me a better practitioner but a better human.

Spiritual Growth for Therapists
I am a PTSD therapist with a relevant graduate degree and multiple undergraduate degrees, as well as holding certificates in several different therapeutic modalities. I have been working in mental health and addiction for 20 years. Despite my knowledge and training I was powerless over my PTSD and its impact on my ability to really show up as the therapist I knew I could be. Angela’s mentorship and spiritual teachings, allowed me to safely navigate a truly initiatory period of my life. She also mentored me through the integration of this stage of healing and spiritual development. This process of true self-realization allowed me to dedicate myself to the healing of others on a level I was unaware of before, while moving into a new experience of a life of action and joy.
