Joy is the name of my game. . .
My name is Angela Katherine (after my grandmother Katherine Larsen- award-winning poet extraordinaire) Bennett (my grandmother Marge Bennett was a musician). Music and poetry are not only in my soul, but they are part of my roots. I have spent my life acting, singing, improvising, writing/playing music and producing shows. I have also consciously taken paths of personal spiritual healing and transformation which have sometimes led to very deep and dark places. At this point in my life, I can truly say that I'm free and I feel more powerful and joyful than I have ever felt before. Most importantly, I have been using my creative gifts more consciously as a healing artist- one that aspires to facilitate transformation through art. The Pacha Mamas has been my main vehicle and now I'm expanding the production of joy and transformation through Roots Productions! Roots Productions is a fiscally sponsored non-profit via Fractured Altas (www.fracturedatlas.org).
Why "ROOTS"?
- Honoring our personal ROOTS (ancestors and the child within!) gives us a deep appreciation for where we come from, who we are and all that we have.
- Being ROOTed in love as our foundation for life allows us to produce inspired, abundant and healthy creations.
- Getting to the ROOT of a problem brings about true healing and transformation.
- The ROOT chakra is the energy center for creation/creativity
I believe the ROOT of many of our problems in the world today stem from a lack of balance between the yin and the yang- those complimentary energies within each of us. Our weakened yin/feminine energy results in a lack of yang/action coming from a place of compassion, empathy, and intuition. I believe that inspired art in and of itself aids in healing the yin energy which is magnified when created in and for community. This is why:
