Meet Améla Hall: ECC Teacher
Recent graduate of the Eagle Condor introductory program, Améla Hall, has been studying with the Eagle Condor Council for over seven years and has been part of a number of the healing intensives. As someone who participates in many healing spaces, being supportively held in the container of the Eagle Condor community is something she highly values. She feels that the beauty of each person is honored and appreciated by the group.
Améla Hall, a natural-born healer, offers integrative massage, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, and holistic herbal and astrology readings through her business, Tula Holistic. She is also a yoga teacher who offers a weekly class at this time and holds a monthly astrology circle for her local community. She has appreciated incorporating the Eagle Condor teachings into her self-care and looks forward to sharing them more through her teachings. One of the things Amela loves about Andean nature practices is that they are practical and applicable to everyday life.
"Eagle Condor Council has so much to offer in the healing of us individually and the collective at this time. Honoring the world as living energy and having ways to interact with it consciously to clear and nourish [our] energy is such an amazing tool to have."
One of Améla's most passionate teaching subjects will be teaching others the concept of energetic coherence. Energetic coherence means that we become aware of what is happening in the energetic field around us so that we can clear unconscious dynamics of discord that harm ourselves and others. She believes that the teaching of Ayni (Sacred Reciprocity) in the Andean nature philosophy is just the medicine we need at this time. "Science and spirituality are catching up with each other," she says. "It's an exciting time… Indigenous wisdom is going to lead us forward in a good way."
If we go far enough back in our own lineage, we all find that our ancestors were Native peoples whose life was intimately connected with the Earth. Learning how to reconnect to nature's wisdom helps us heal our relationship with the Earth and intergenerational trauma. Many people in the United States, for example, are disconnected from their ancestry and the cultures they had in connection with the land, plants, and animals. Améla believes that it is in part because of this disconnection that we see many people in modern society overmedicated and or numbed by addiction or overconsumption of media.
"There is this huge hole in the heart of humanity at this time. We have been so forced into a mental place. It is a time of re-embodiment… coming back to the heart and remembering that our state of being is so powerful as we move through the world."
Empowering the collective feminine spirit is one way that modern society can begin repatriation work despite systemic oppression. Améla understands the importance of creating safe spaces where healing can happen and people can find ways to deepen their inner knowing and connection with the more-than-human world. Améla plans to share the present and ongoing astrological impacts in coherence with her Eagle Condor Council teachings and offerings that will help wisely guide us through our self-care practices and life purpose.
With over 24 years of experience in the healing arts, Améla’s personal path of healing and growth has led to formal training in massage therapy, holistic herbalism, spagyric herbal preparation, yoga, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, astrology, and reiki. Honoring the self as a microcosm of the universe, her goal is to foster each individual’s unique expression of health and, through this, foster the health of the planet. A deep respect for the interconnectedness of life and the wisdom of nature guides Améla’s work.
