Angela Basbas Angel is a traditional and holistic healing practitioner, medium/channeler, ceremonialist, multi-disciplinary artist, poet and permaculture gardener. She has continued her indigenous lineage as a 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 helped to form and began coordinating free holistic and traditional healing clinics with the Bay Area’s Healing Clinic Collective. Angela was the school coordinator and taught at Ancestral Apothecary, School of herbal, folk and indigenous medicine for nearly seven years in Oakland, CA. She loves tending to her garden and facilitating the connection of plants with people. She is a certified Clinical Western Herbalist and integrates indigenous ancestral medicine in her classes. Angela runs regular classes in healing and plants including “Ninunong Gamot”, Philippine Folk and Ancestral Medicine and “Decolonizing Wellness”.
