My name is Angela Bladon, and my friends call me Angel. ♥
I am an Empowerment Practitioner: A Life & Relationship Coach, Community Builder, Ta**ra Facilitator, Artisan and mom of 3 children from Calgary, Alberta. It is my life's purpose to offer guidance and support to people who want to live fully and love freely from a place of pleasure, power, and ease. I am known for building conscious loving communities, inspiring others to love themselves, and for my compassionate ability to hold space for authenticity and vulnerability.
My educational background is in Psychology and Philosophy. I completed a Thesis in Social Cognition and Directed Studies in Philosophy of Mind. I have over a decade of experience in Mental Health, Social Work, and Crisis Counselling. I have also had the benefit of being trained and mentored by expert/master level Relationship Coaches, S*x Educators, Energy Practitioners, and Ta**ra Teachers from all over the world.
I am constantly expanding the breadth and depth of my teachings, by actively practicing the things I offer in my daily life, and by regularly attending new training opportunities as they come up. Over the years, I have attended over 200 classes, workshops, retreats, and trainings on ta**ra, radical self love, fearless relating, consent & boundaries, shadow work, pattern breaking, compassionate communication (NVC), movement meditations, conscious relationships, cacao ceremonies, chakras & energy work, shamanic practices, sacred sexuality, and so much more.
In addition to my education and training, I have personally faced and overcome a tremendous amount of adversity in my life. I went from disability & poverty to empowerment and abundance. Like so many others, I have experienced abuse/neglect in childhood, ostracism/bullying in adolescence, severely debilitating depression & mental health issues, trauma & domestic violence, the challenges of being a single mother, living with morbid obesity, and the effects of losing over 200 pounds. I have experienced multiple ‘dark nights of the soul’, as well as spiritual awakenings. My life’s journey is one of empowerment. I know what it is to suffer, and I also know how to move through that and into a life of pleasure, ease and joy.
Because of my experiences, I have been exposed to and navigated a variety of social service support systems (hospitals, shelters, mental health systems, crisis lines, government agencies, etc), and learned from so many different healing modalities - from all sides and perspectives. I have been the person needing healing, support, and help - and I have been the person offering those things to others in a professional capacity. I am heavily resourced, and intimately aware, because I have personally lived it. I have gone through what I offer help to others for, and I consistently practice what I teach. This combination of education, training, and direct personal experience makes it possible for me to support others in a very unique way. I love helping others to begin living empowered lives too.
As a leader in the Calgary Ta**ra community, I have spent the last 5 years inspiring and empowering people by teaching skills, tools, and insights that make room for healing, connection, and growth. I do this by living a life of self-love, through the transformative experiential group workshops and events I facilitate, and in the one-on-one sessions I offer to individuals and couples.
One of my greatest gifts is my ability to truly see, feel, hear and understand you, and then reflect this back to you, so you can discover your own answers and develop a clear vision of the next steps on your path – as it all resides within yourself. I am simply here to help you explore, embrace, and celebrate your own power.
I have extensive knowledge and experience in alternative ways of living and loving, and I enjoy working with adults of all ages, genders, sexual orientations, relationship orientations, cultural backgrounds, experiences and abilities.
If you would like to work with me, lets start by scheduling a free 30 minute exploration session, where I can get to know you better and discuss the ways I might be able to support you: http://numinouscreations.setmore.com ♥
My Current Offerings:
Workshops/Events/Classes ~ I develop, create, organize and facilitate a variety of Workshops, Classes, and Events every month that are offered in the Calgary area, and at conscious festivals.
Cuddle Party: A 3 hour non-sexual workshop where you are offered an opportunity to give and receive affectionate touch, and authentically connect with others, all while learning about and practicing boundary setting, communication skills, and self-care. You get to practice these new skills with the support of others, and become part of a conscious and meaningful community. You can learn more about the Cuddle Party workshops, see upcoming dates, and get tickets here.
Embodied Bliss - Ta***ic Cacao Journey through the Chakras: Come to honour yourself and others in this Cacao Ceremony and guided Ta***ic Journey. It is a space for personal exploration, authentic self-expression, and deep connection. Each evening focuses on a different chakra, and includes a variety of non-sexual Ta***ic practices that offer you an opportunity to feel more alive and present in your body, to expand, to heal, and to create more space for what you want in life - all while being seen, heard, felt, and embraced by our incredible community. You can learn more about the Embodied Bliss classes, see upcoming dates, and get tickets here.
Ta***ic Speed Dating: An opportunity for you to meet like-minded, openhearted people and create deep fulfilling connections. Ta***ic speed dating is a unique approach to dating that bypasses the typical humdrum and cuts straight to what matters: making meaningful connections with people who see us for who we truly are. Each date is a unique facilitated experience – a light and playful blend of Ta**ra workshop & Speed Dating event. It’s a wonderful place to start if you're new to Ta**ra, and a great place to network with resonant folks. You can learn more about the Ta***ic Speed Dating event, see upcoming dates, and save your spot here.
Ta***ic Temple of Bliss - A Devotion to Love (Pink Puja): This is a sacred and sensual evening of empowered play with deep loving connection. A space for exploration, self-discovery, personal growth, and expansion. Would you like to play with your senses, embrace who you are, find your personal power, feel into your desires, and anchor in a deeper sense of of love in yourself and for others, all while being supported by a loving and conscious community? Come to be expressed and celebrated in your authentic yes, however that looks from one moment to the next. This non-sexual event is wonderful for singles, and it’s also an amazing date night for couples. All are welcome! Learn more and get a ticket to the next event here.
Meet, Connect, and Mingle: This is your opportunity to meet new people from our conscious loving community, in a relaxing and casual environment! Come for a coffee or tea, play some games, laugh, and have some good conversations. This is not a workshop, but it also won’t be like your average meet and greet! It will be a facilitated gathering, while still being very fun and casual in nature. If you have questions, are feeling shy or nervous about attending the other events, but still want to meet people, or meet me, to see what my events or this community is all about - then this is the event for you! Learn more and get a ticket to our next gathering here.
Ta**ra, Life & Love Coaching ~ In these sessions I offer kind and loving support combined with skills, tools, and insights that will create space for empowerment, growth, and transformation in your life. I want to support you in living fully and loving deeply from a place of pleasure, power and ease. I can help you in the following areas of life: Emotional, Psychological, Social, Family, Relationships and Friendships, Mental health and wellness, Life purpose, and Spiritual support. Together, I can support you while you create the life and the relationships you want. Let me help you to:
Create more ease, balance, and enjoyment in all areas of your life.
Become clear on your values, goals, boundaries, and priorities.
Discover and clear whatever is standing in the way of you having what you desire most.
Develop a strong sense of your self worth and value.
Create healthy and loving friendships and relationships.
Heal unresolved wounds that are holding you back from moving forward.
Work through issues, problems, or concerns causing you distress or suffering.
Tap into an emotional resiliency that offers you the freedom of feeling things fully and deeply without getting overwhelmed.
Identify and release unhealthy strategies, habits, stories, and limiting beliefs.
Create a lifestyle that prioritizes self-love, compassion, and self-care.
Individual Therapeutic Cuddle Sessions ~ I offer private non-sexual cuddle sessions for those who desire more affection, loving care, connection and physical touch in their life. In these sessions, I will provide you with focused and personalized one-on-one therapeutic touch. These sessions are wonderfully supportive for going into deep emotional processing, and releasing hurt or upset, while being safely held. These are also great for those who simply want to experience the relaxing and healing benefits that come from the comfort of being in someone’s arms, or in holding another person. These sessions can be a great first step if you are intrigued by the Cuddle Party, but aren’t quite ready to be part of that group experience. During our session(s), I can offer you personalized in-depth support around some of the concepts and practices that are explored during the Cuddle Party Workshop:
Dealing with fear of rejection, exclusion, and abandonment.
Setting & Honouring Boundaries.
Asking for what you want.
Finding your voice and saying 'No'.
Developing trust in your self and towards others.
Taking care of your own needs, and breaking co-dependency patterns.
Holding space for others to take care of themselves.
Community Organizing ~ I am passionate about building healthy, loving and compassionate communities where people can support one another in having the relationships they want and living the life they see for themselves.
On Meetup: Connect in Calgary: Conscious Dating & Relationships, Calgary Ta**ra, Calgary Cuddle Party
On Facebook: Connect in Calgary: Conscious Dating & Relationships, Calgary Cuddle Party Support Group
Energy Work & Chakra Balancing ~ I offer Reiki or Pranic energy sessions to activate natural healing, align and balance the energy centres, clear blockages, unplug unhealthy tethers/cords, and align energy to your intentions. I can do these sessions in person and with distance.
Hand-made Jewelry ~ I create beautiful high vibration amulets (in all forms of jewelry) that you can wear with you on your journey in this life. This reiki infused jewelry amplifies your intentions and that which resonates with you most.
Oracle/Tarot ~ I use my Oracle and/or Tarot decks as symbolic tools, as a way to connect to divine synchronicity, and to help reveal insight and clarity into the vibrational and energetic patterns that have manifested, or have the potential to manifest in your life.
If you would like my support, please schedule a free 30 minute exploration session with me. I would love to learn about you, listen to your goals and dreams, give you the chance to ask any questions you might have, and for us to see if what I offer would be a good fit for you. Let’s discuss the ways I can support you.
With Love, Angel ♥
