About Angie “Midwife of the True Self”
When I was 18, I was invited to the warm power of a Native American sweat lodge ceremony, in the USA and I experienced a coming home to my connection to the land, my heart, soul and spirit. This defining moment was the start of my personal journey. As an immigrant Chilean of both mixed Chilean and Indigenous heritage, this was an awakening, I had left Chile when I was seven years old with little more than a suitcase fleeing from a dictatorship.
This was the start of a profound rebirthing.
From over 35 years walking this path, I can sincerely say that deep well held soulful Rites of Passage are the most powerful conduit to hold and honour transformation I have ever had the honour to create and be part of.
I answered a calling in myself which began with that first sweatlodge, which I listened through honouring gifts and beauty and also through working with deep levels of trauma in my own life.
Not long after the sweat lodge, I found myself suddenly being an interpreter to an Ecuadorian Shaman, and a lifelong journey of looking deeper for the connection we have to the earth, soul and creation.
For over two decades I then worked with people in recovery, in the corporate world, in community, with families and burnt out creatives, women’s health, leading me to hold sacred space and wellbeing, and honour women’s paths through Trainings and the work I do today.
In Midlife, we get clarity, unresolved themes and challenges come to the surface, and we have an opportunity to reinvent, rebirth and reclaim, this is my invitation to you to listen to this calling, and find out if I’m the best fit for you to be your Guide.
Now is the time to hold that sacred rage, the pain and longing of our hearts and the healing we deserve, so that we go through the threshold of becoming, in Midlife and Beyond.
I have been blessed to be taught and formally trained in Shamanic Homeopathy, a blend of shamanic healing, herbal medicine and homeopathic medicine training, by Dr Yubaj Sharma and Dr Myriam Shivadikar with Anthroposophical principles, at The School of Shamanic Homeopathy, and Earth Based Ceremony by two wonderful Elders and wise women of ceremony, Glennie Kindred and Annie Keeling. I have been honoured with the support more recently by the phenomenal Lynne Franks and truly empowering coach Katie Curtin.
Other projects …
As well as being the Founder of both Women Who Rise and the Academy of Sacred Women’s Ceremony, Circle and Ritual, I am part of the Complementary Medical Association (The CMA) Senior Team as a Consultant, a Mentor at the Homeopathy Action Trust (HAT) and a Guest Lecturer at the Southern College of Homeopathy (SCOH). My voluntary work includes Consultancy for Save Micheals Folly Retreat Centre and fundraising with sound baths for Herts for Refugees as well as other community events.
As a proud immigrant and inclusive feminist, I feel passionate about you empowering you, your identity, representation, empathy, decolonisation, decolonising wellness, diversity and the merging with the divine feminine.
I believe strongly that we can’t be spiritual and honour the earth if we at the same time neglect or choose to ignore marginalised people within it, I celebrate and honour individuality and uniqueness. I truly celebrate our growing sense of belonging and relating to ourselves and the world through deep understanding of the past and the present, to create a future worth inheriting.
My Soul Art is therefore strongly focused on shamanism, soul and identity and is a conversation and expression of visibility and coming home to the root and heart of creation. I work to create commissions.
I love good coffee, drumming, chocolate, laughing, time with my two gorgeous boys, husband and close friends and community, embracing life on this planet, ritual, being barefoot, ceremony, my garden, the woods, and dancing to Gogol Bordello and Prince.
I have found not only in my own life but working so closely with others, the years of Menopause bring to light what was hidden, and the things we can no longer ignore, truth comes through, and this is time to honour all that you are, in an authentic honest way, self and soul, nurturing our dark feminine, without the bullshit.
You Are The Medicine You Seek.
