Episode #94 Exploring Shamanism and Environmental Stewardship with Angell Deer

Angell Deer is a multifaceted individual with a profound commitment to holistic wellness, environmental conservation, and spiritual enlightenment. As the founder of The Sanctuary, a revered Shamanic Healing Center nestled in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, New York, Angell has spent over nine years fostering a haven for individuals seeking connection with nature and ancient wisdom teachings.

Additionally, Angell serves as the Founder and Executive Director of The New York Bee Sanctuary, a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of bees and wild pollinators. Through his advocacy, research, and education initiatives, Angell has championed the cause of bee conservation on both local and global scales.

Angell's career, however, began in the corporate world - with over two decades of experience in leadership roles within the luxury retail and sustainability industries. Angell reached the pinnacle of corporate success, but this was accompanied by a profound realization that the life he had built was lacking meaning. This inner calling led him to embark on a deeper exploration of spirituality and holistic wellness. Drawn to the ancient wisdom of Andean Cosmology and Norse Shamanism, Angell immersed himself in the study of these traditions, ultimately embracing his purpose as a shaman, mystic, and healer.
