Angelique Tompkins – A Journey of Healing, Spirit, and Sacred Remembering
My path into the healing arts began over a decade ago with a one-way ticket to Costa Rica and a heart full of questions. I was lost—disconnected from my body, my purpose, and the deeper truths of who I was. That journey, which began as an act of escape, became the sacred threshold to self-discovery. It was there that I completed my first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, certified by the Yoga Alliance, which sparked something profound within me. Yoga was not just a workout—it was a work-in, a moving meditation that taught me the power of breath, presence, and the sacred dialogue between body and mind.
Upon returning home, I was led to the Chicago Center for Psychophysical Healing, where I studied herbalism and Chinese medicine. The plants became more than remedies—they became allies, teachers, and sacred messengers. Working with the earth reawakened my ancestral memory and deepened my connection to the natural world.
That same year, the door to shamanism opened. I began my formal training with the Power Path School of Shamanism, a lineage that continues to guide and shape my work to this day. Over the years, my studies have deepened through immersive training and ceremony with indigenous elders across the globe—from the Shipibo healers of the Peruvian Amazon, to the Quechua people of Cusco, and the Wixárika (Huichol) of Mexico, as well as learning from Lakota wisdom keepers in the United States. These lineages have entrusted me with teachings that are felt more than taught—ways of healing that are sacred, reciprocal, and rooted in ancestral reverence.
My journey also led me into the world of sound healing, where I earned certifications that deepened my ability to work with frequency and vibration. Whether through tuning forks, singing bowls, voice, or instruments, sound has become one of the most profound tools I use to support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and spiritual remembrance. I am also a certified Reiki practitioner, and weave this subtle yet powerful energy medicine into my sessions and ceremonies.
Today, I integrate all of these modalities into a holistic and intuitive healing practice that includes shamanic energy work, breathwork, chakra balancing, space clearing, ceremony, and somatic support. My work is deeply personalized—each session or circle is crafted as a sacred container to support your unique healing path.
This is not just my work—it is my life’s devotion. Through adversity, I have walked the path of grief, trauma, illness, loss, and profound transformation. I have come to know the many faces of human suffering—not from a distance, but from within. And because of that, I can meet others where they are, with compassion and integrity. It is my honor and responsibility to share what I’ve learned—to offer the wisdom, tools, and presence that helped me find my way home, so others may do the same.
With love, gratitude, and devotion,
Angelique

Vincent Filippone – Sound Therapist • Musician • Musical Director at Metanoia
Vincent Filippone is a multi-instrumentalist, certified sound healer, and the Musical Director of Metanoia, where he offers both group and one-on-one healing sessions rooted in intentional sound therapy. His journey with music began at an early age—drawn to the emotional landscape it created, Vincent spent his childhood immersed in sound, walking around with headphones and a portable CD player, building a personal soundtrack that would shape the rest of his life.
Although formally introduced to piano lessons as a child, Vincent quickly discovered he was more intuitively connected to music by ear than by theory. His true musical awakening came during his teenage years, secretly playing his brother’s neglected guitar and teaching himself through listening, experimentation, and inspiration from rock icons like Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and David Gilmour. Though bands and casual performances followed, music remained mostly a private medicine—until life called him deeper.
After a series of personal challenges and a departure from the corporate world, Vincent returned to music with a new sense of devotion. Exploring open tunings, drone strings, and fingerstyle acoustic guitar, he began creating meditative soundscapes that blended harmonics, rhythm, and emotion. His evolving sound was deeply personal, yet when a friend invited him to play at a plant medicine retreat in 2020, everything changed. A single comment from a guest—”Your music is medicine”—ignited a new path of service and purpose.
From that pivotal moment, Vincent devoted himself fully to the healing arts. He expanded his instrument collection to include handpan, flute, charango, and percussion, trusting spirit to guide him in how to use them. His offerings became more intentional, and his sound evolved into a form of energetic medicine, designed to support transformation, release, and renewal.
In 2022, Vincent joined Metanoia as the resident musician and Sound Director, bringing his depth, humility, and refined artistry to every event. Whether anchoring spiritual retreats, guiding ceremonies, or offering personalized sound healing sessions, Vincent creates sacred sonic spaces that invite deep connection, emotional healing, and inner peace.
Vincent continues to see clients one-on-one through Metanoia, combining his musical gifts with therapeutic insight to help others harmonize their inner worlds. For him, sound is not just vibration—it is a language of the soul, a bridge between the visible and invisible, and a powerful tool for remembrance and realignment.
“Music is my medicine. It healed me—and now I share it to help others come home to themselves.”
