Dr. Amber McZeal is a writer, vocalist, sacred scholar, and artivist utilizing sound therapy and guided somatic imagery to engage the knowledge of the body within an interactive and liberatory arts practice. In 2018, she launched Decolonizing the Psyche, where she weaves somatic praxis with Afro-Indigenous spiritual technologies and social justice—deep decoloniality—in efforts to address cultural trauma, foster transformation, and create more humane social relationships. She has been a certified Ancestral Lineage Healing (ALH) practitioner since 2022, supporting people in reconnecting with vibrant ancestors to both tend intergenerational & cultural trauma, and embody the gifts of their people as spiritual inheritances. Amber holds a M.A. in Somatic depth psychology and a Ph.D. in depth psychology with emphasis in Community, Liberation, Indigenous and Ecological psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpinteria, CA.
