THE WERK Episode 01: The Spirit of Supremacy - Breaking Down Toxic Paradigms With Amanda Michelle
Amanda Michelle is a Spiritual and Holistic Wellness Practitioner currently based in Palm Springs, California. As a direct descendent of the Guarani people in Paraguay, Amanda has spent the majority of her life working with several Indigenous modalities including dream weaving, plant medicine and Indigenous Cosmology. As a transracial adoptee in the early 90's, it was a long and sometimes difficult process in understanding her Ancestral roots which ultimately created a deeper appreciation and connection to the Spirit realms. In 2015, Amanda created Activated Living and is focused on sharing her work in several formats (writing, visual, and audio) to help weave the Mind, Body, Soul/ Spirit connection with Indigenous Wisdom. The depth of her work in the Spiritual and wellness space is to assist and guide others to find their medicine from within.
