About Angell Deer

Angell Deer is a mystic, medicine man, animist teacher, ordained minister, beekeeper, international speaker, and sacred disruptor. He is the founder of Sacred Paths and the New York Bee Sanctuary, and a devoted steward of rewilding projects across the U.S. and Europe.

With over two decades of spiritual and ecological work, Angell’s life is dedicated to remembering and transmitting ancient wisdom. He walks the path of Andean Cosmology and Norse Shamanism, learning from elders, communing with the land, and listening for the old songs that still live in the trees, the bones, and the breath.

A weaver of stories, people, and worlds, he teaches from the fertile ground where grief meets grace, and where purpose is forged in the fire of personal and planetary transformation. His work calls us back to a more-than-human world, where healing is relational, and prayer is made with both hands in the soil.

Angell is trained as a Veterinarian, Medicine Man, Herbalist, Reiki Master, Breathwork Practitioner, and Meditation Teacher. He has served as an advisor to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and spoken at Harvard Business School, the French Embassy in New York, and global gatherings such as the French Davos Forum and the Concert for Earth, where he was honored as an “Earth Rockstar.”

He lives in devotion to land, community, and the mystery — tending to trees, bees, and ancestral ceremonies. His center, The Sanctuary, is a refuge for the sacred — a living altar to healing, rewilding, and the remembrance of what it means to be fully human.
