This is Kultivating Kapwa, hosted by Jana Lynne Umipig and Olivia Sawi. In our FIRST series, we sit down and ask Auntie Leny questions about her life, her work, decolonization, academia, ethnoautobiography, her relationship to nature, the land, and all living beings, and her views of the future. In our SECOND series, we have conversations with members of the community and explore how decolonization has manifested itself in their work, and how they cultivate kapwa in their own lives. In our THIRD series, we discuss decolonizing parenthood. We explore how decolonization shows up at home and in family, relational to our collective children. We delve into the intergenerational healing that exists in parenting the next generation, that ripples into our relationships to our elders and ancestors, our community, and all parts of our lives.

Kultivating Kapwa: Conversations with Community, Episode 13
"Honoring and Tending to Our Ancestral Relations to Plants, Lands, and the Planet"
In this episode, we are joined by Angela Angel. We discuss re-membering the earth, plants, elements, and all non-human beings as Kapwa, the moments she realized she was called to her path, her most recent lessons from the earth and land, and much more.
Angela is currently residing in Ohlone Territory, specifically the Sogoretea Land Trust. She is Igorota, Bontoc and Ibaloi, Pangasinense and Ilokana. She comes from the rice terraces of the Cordillera Region, the beaches and salt flats of Pagasinan, and shout out to Baguio, her hometown.
Angela is a healing practitioner, gardener, artist, medium/channeler, and ceremonialist. She has continued her indigenous lineage as a young 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 began coordinating free holistic and traditional healing clinics with the Bay Area’s Healing Clinic Collective. Angela is currently a teacher for Ancestral Apothecary, School of herbal, folk and indigenous medicine. She teaches regular series offerings: Ninunong Gamot, Philippine Folk and Ancestral Medicine, and Decolonizing Wellness. She loves tending to her garden and facilitating the connection of plants with people. She is a certified Western Herbalist and integrates indigenous ancestral medicine in her classes. She holds her own healing practice and you can find out more about her work at: Other Ways of Seeing | Etsy - Nature As Muse
