#327 This episode explored the journey to finding one's life purpose, with insights from guest Angell Deer, a practitioner of ancient healing modalities. Guy and Angell discussed the discomfort often felt from being misaligned in life and the concept of 'being hit by spirit' as a catalyst for change. Angell shared his own transformative journey from a successful corporate background to embracing shamanic work, emphasizing the need to reconnect with nature and ancestral wisdom. The conversation touches on the growing interest in spiritual transformation post-COVID-19 and the importance of engaging with traditional teachings to navigate modern life's challenges. About Angell: Angell Deer is an ordained minister, mystic, medicine man, teacher, permaculturist, beekeeper, international speaker and lover of all forms of life.  He has dedicated his life to remembering, learning, and teaching ancient wisdom through the lineages of Andean Cosmology and Norse Shamanism. His passion is to weave words and stories, people and places, darkness and light, wounds and love, ancient and modern times.  Deeply committed to the healing of this world, he is heartbrokenly inspired by our shared humanity. He likes to dwell in the adventurous space of not-knowing, learning from his elders the mystery and magic of creation, in the never-ending inquiry into a spiritual way of life.  He is often found on the land of The Sanctuary in awe of the myceliumystic connections of life, tending to the trees and animals, and praying for a world where relationships, community and deep care for life is a reality.
