Many of us come to yoga seeking relief.Perhaps we're overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, chronic patterns, or simply the feeling that something in life is not quite aligned. Yoga can be profoundly therapeutic, helping us calm the mind, strengthen the body, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with ourselves.But what if healing is only the beginning?In this episode, Brooke reflects on a powerful teaching from her late teacher, Rolf Sovik, exploring the four reasons people come to yoga: healing, joyful living, self-enfoldment, and self-realization. Together, we examine why healing and enlightenment are not separate paths, and how our suffering may actually become the doorway to greater wisdom, purpose, and wholeness.Brooke also explores the wisdom of Wild Oats through the lens of flower essences, Yoga Sutra I.17, and the concept of ālambana—the resting ground of the mind. Discover how plants, flower essences, mantra, and meditation can support us in being present with life's challenges while awakening the deeper intelligence of the soul.If you've ever wondered why your healing journey feels intertwined with your spiritual path, this conversation offers a compassionate and empowering perspective on what it means to live in alignment with your dharma.Topics Include:• Yoga therapy and nervous system healing• Healing vs. enlightenment• Dharma and self-enfoldment• Yoga Sutra I.17 and stages of samadhi• Flower essences and subtle herbalism• Wild Oats as a guide for purpose and direction• Prāṇa, awareness, and transformation• Finding wholeness through practice• The teachings of Rolf Sovik• Tantra Yoga and conscious livingBecome a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

What happens when the deep, (often hidden) desire for safety becomes the organizing force of our lives?In this timely episode of The Wild Temple Podcast, Brooke Sullivan is joined by clinical therapist and school counselor Kristin Keliher for a deeply honest conversation about nervous systems, overperformance, community care, and what it means to become an empowered human in a world organized around fear, productivity, and survival.Drawing from polyvagal theory, psychoeducation, trauma work, and lived experience, they explore how the unconscious drive for safety can secretly shape identity, relationships, spirituality, and activism, narrowing our capacity for rest, authenticity, connection, and collective care. Together, they unpack cognitive dissonance, burnout culture, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the ways many women have been conditioned to abandon their true selves in order to belong.The conversation moves between the deeply personal and the profoundly collective: from childhood self-expression and school systems to mutual aid, white saviorism, patriarchy, and the crumbling structures of modern society. Rather than offering bypassing or easy answers, this episode asks a more vital question: What helps us feel safe enough to live with empowered reciprocity and wider circles of care?Through reflections on embodiment and micro acts of resistance, Brooke and Kristin illuminate a path from contraction toward connection, from hypervigilance toward relational belonging, from self-protection toward collective love.This conversation is reminder that healing is not only personal. It is communal, relational, and deeply political. Sometimes the revolution begins with nervous system repair. Sometimes, by casting wider nets. We feel it definitely begins with the freedom to don your Batsuit.Become a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Happy Spring! In this episode of The Wild Temple Podcast, host Brooke Shannon Sullivan explores how Tantra, Yoga Therapy, Prana Vidya, Ayurveda, herbalism, and Kundalini come together as a holistic science to support desire as a generative force, dharmic living, and self‑mastery. Recorded on a Full Moon in Hasta Nakshatra, Brooke weaves in the symbolism of the hands (Anjali, food measurement, relationship with nourishment) as she turns toward a more practical, embodied question: How do we actually start the day in a way that aligns us with life force instead of resistance?Brooke speaks candidly about the “first battle of resistance” in the morning—waking up and not doing the things we know would help us feel good. From there, Brooke opens the lens to Tantra as the overarching science that helped her integrate years of work in yoga, midwifery, and herbalism. A major theme is the integration of many passions into a coherent, prana‑led life. Speaking to listeners who feel “too multi‑passionate” or scattered, Brooke describes how working with prana helps highlight which callings are most alive and shows how they are meant to be woven together into a personal wheelhouse or niche. She underscores the need for proper nervous system preparation, incremental doses of energy work, and safe containers, and explains how Tantra Yoga Therapy uses mantra, specific pranayamas, sequencing (vinyasa krama), and a trauma‑aware lens to guide, channel, and assimilate big energies like Kundalini awakenings, strong pranayama, birth, accidents, and even entheogenic journeys.Finally, Brooke introduces the two certification tracks within the Sage Apprenticeship:Tantra Yoga & Dharmic Living – for personal mastery, health, mental calm, and empowered, spiritually aligned living (ideal for seekers and professionals who want to bring depth and integrity into their existing fields).Tantra Yoga Therapy Teacher – a 500hr Yoga Alliance–registered path for those who want the skills and credentials to safely teach, guide, and hold others through prana‑centered, trauma‑aware yoga and Tantra.Throughout the episode, Brooke emphasizes integrity, safety, and devotion to nature’s intelligence. She invites listeners who feel called—especially multi‑passionate, heart‑led seekers and wellness professionals—to explore the Sage Apprenticeship, stay connected via thewildtemple.com and on Instagram @thewildtemple, and to begin, even today, by claiming a pleasure‑filled, pranic anchor practice that lets them become “a little sun,” radiating their unique light into the world.Become a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

This week’s episode of the Wild Temple Podcast opens with Brooke feeding the crows and reflecting on the strange landscape of the modern world. A recent encounter on social media—someone spell binding  through their Instagram reel—felt both jarring and strangely revealing. It sparked a deeper contemplation about the subtle ways we influence one another every day, often without realizing it. Not through grand gestures, but through the power of our thoughts, reactions, and the stories we carry in our minds.From this reflection arises a deeper inquiry: how do we begin to look more honestly at our own minds? How do we notice the ways we react to people, the ways we project, the ways our emotions can surge like storms within us—and begin refining them so that we become steadier, clearer, and more compassionate human beings? In this episode, Brooke reflects on the importance of taking responsibility for our inner landscape, recognizing that the work we do with our own minds has real impact on the world around us.Because this season of desire also invites us into pleasure, the conversation gently turns toward how we might orient our lives toward what truly nourishes us. What happens when we allow pleasure—not indulgence, but deep nourishment for the body and senses—to guide us back into harmony with ourselves and the rhythms of nature?This conversation opens the doorway into the upcoming Chaitra Navaratri & Devi Sādhana Cleanse, a seasonal practice Brooke has facilitated for seven years alongside Ayurvedic physician Michael Van Sciver. Unlike conventional cleanses that focus on restriction or deprivation, this experience centers on deep nourishment and seasonal alignment. Rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom yet approached in a unique and refreshing way, the cleanse helps participants gently shift their habits so that the mind becomes more positive and compassionate, the body begins to release unhealthy cravings, and the senses rediscover the beauty of truly nutritive food.The practices are intentionally simple—often as easy as one-pot meals and uncomplicated daily rhythms—making it possible to participate even within the fullness of everyday life. Rather than adding stress or complexity, the cleanse becomes a sweet and supportive window of time to realign with the season through food, sensory awareness, and nourishing practices.Listeners who feel called can learn more about this year’s cleanse by visiting https://www.thewildtemple.com/Navratri-Regenerative-CleanseAnd for those ready to go deeper, the Sage Apprenticeship at The Wild Temple School is right around the corner. This beloved Navaratri cleanse is included as part of the apprenticeship journey, offering students a powerful seasonal initiation into the deeper practices of Tantra Yoga, Ayurveda, and Dharmic living. https://www.thewildtemple.com/sage-apprenticeshipSometimes the most meaningful shifts begin with very small refinements—such as how we observe the mind, nourish the body, and how we choose to show up in the world with care.Become a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Streaming from a Himalayan Institute campus in India, this intimate “Kitchen Talk” episode of The Wild Temple Podcast unfolds in the midst of a rare six-month Himalayan practice known as Maha Sri Yaga, a devotional immersion of daily mantra, meditation, and fire ceremonies devoted to tending the subtle forces of nature and refining what is nonessential- for a 6 month period of time.From this sacred container of retreat and rhythm, Brooke gathers around the "kitchen table" with fellow practitioners including ER physician Dr. Adwaita from Guyana/Toronto, animator Hannah from Florida/LA, and yoga teacher Kia Miller for an unscripted, heart-led conversation on living tantra in real time.Together they explore what it means to bring spiritual knowledge out of philosophy and into lived experience. Themes of ahimsa, humility, surrender, ego, and discernment weave through reflections on relationship, healing, and the courage to feel deeply. Strong emotions like anger are reframed as shakti, or intelligent life force, while trauma is approached not as identity, but as something to meet with elemental gentleness and embodied awareness.This episode is both grounded and mystical and a reminder that awakening happens not only in ceremony, but in kitchens, conversations, and the daily pauses where we soften, listen, and let ourselves be reshaped.The temple is not elsewhere. It is here in practice, in presence, in the pulse of being alive.Become a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

What if desire is not something to discipline or deny, but a living force asking to be felt?In this intimate conversation with Somatic Sexologist, Nadine Hamilton, we explore desire as Shakti, the sacred current of life moving through body, creativity, longing, and love. Rather than something shameful or indulgent, desire reveals itself as an intelligent guide, pointing us toward wholeness, truth, and deeper embodiment.Listen in as we unravel the cultural conditioning that has cast desire, especially feminine desire, into shadow. We look at how shame fragments us, how suppression distorts our vitality, and how reclaiming desire becomes a path of healing. Through breath, movement, reflection, and embodied practice, desire shifts from something we grasp at to something we listen to, a teacher, a threshold, a return to self.This is an invitation to stop negotiating with your longing and begin honoring it. To let desire move through you without apology. To remember that the ache you feel may not be a problem to solve, but a sacred signal guiding you home.Desire is not the obstacle. It is the doorway.Connect with Nadine Hamilton:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iamnadinehamilton/ Website: https://www.bloomwithnadine.com/ Become a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

What if desire is not a temptation to overcome, but a sacred current guiding us back to the divine?In this luminous conversation, Brooke Sullivan sits down with Ekabhumi to talk about the mystery of desire as an ancient, erotic intelligence that moves through all of life. Together, they explore desire not as a flaw of the human condition, but as a holy force, one that animates creation, fuels awakening, and invites us into deeper intimacy with reality itself.Woven through reflections on sacred art, spiritual traditions, and the living wisdom of nature, this episode reveals desire as a threshold: a place where matter and spirit meet. Sexuality becomes only one expression of a far older cosmic eros, the pulse that moves through trees, breath, imagination, and the ache to know and be known. Sacred art emerges as a devotional practice, a way of remembering our orientation in the world and making contact with the unseen.Through beauty, symbol, and imagination, we touch a deeper order of meaning, one that invites reverence, creativity, and surrender to the mystery of being alive. This is a conversation for those who sense that enlightenment does not arrive through denial, but through devotion - to the body, to beauty, to desire itself. An invitation to step into the erotic, sacred unfolding of reality and rest in the delight of awareness.Desire brought you here—let it guide you further.

Welcome. Today’s exploration is about spiritual freedom, storytelling, and finding truth within oneself. The journey of understanding one's own spirituality can be both challenging and empowering, as we unravel what religiosity means and the boundaries that it sometimes crosses. Religiosity often brings with it the imposition of belief systems. What boundaries are crossed when one insists their spiritual path is the only way? Empowered choice is our birthright, but others' belief impositions cloud our heart’s deity. Herein lies the essence of volition, or the power of using our will, in spiritual journeys. When trusted figures, such as a therapist, bypass personal agency, it reflects a broader sickness of spiritual colonization. This is important to name and challenge respectfully. Comments and open dialogue from this tender place are welcome. May this invocation bring you peace, nurtured by the divine force residing within each of our hearts. Much love to all. ------If our Wild Temple podcast resonates with you... please follow, leave a comment on your listening platform, or share it with others who may benefit.

The New Year: Desire for Freedom and FulfillmentThis episode marks a threshold—a bridge into the next season (our 3rd) of The Wild Temple Podcast.Here, Brooke reflects in a solocast, on the transition from a year devoted to Dharma—structure, coherence, and sacred technologies—into a new season centered on Desire. In the Tantric tradition, desire is not something to overcome or supress, but a living intelligence that, when understood, becomes a path toward freedom (mukti) and fulfillment (bhukti).Drawing from Tantra and lived practice, this episode explores:Desire as a generative force that moves through a dharmic lifeThe relationship between bhukti (enjoyment, participation in life) and mukti (liberation, freedom)How desire matures when guided by vimarśa—reflective wisdom and clear seeingWhy this New Year moment invites orientation along with resolutionHow desire can support self-mastery, clarity, and conscious direction when held with discernmentThis is an episode that offers a contemplative entry into a season where desire is approached as a teacher, a current, and a companion on the path of dharmic living.✨ If our Wild Temple podcast resonates with you... please follow, leave a comment on your listening platform, or share it with others who may benefit.

In this episode, we explore what happens when truth is suppressed and desire is smothered… and how Shakti rises in ten fierce directions to reclaim her power. This myth is a map of what happens inside each of us when the feminine is silenced, when desire is suppressed and the importance now of finally saying: “no more.”From Shiva’s retreat into grief, to Sati’s self-immolation, to the falling of the Goddess’ yoni in Assam — this story reveals the spiritual and psychological roots of awakening, shadow work, and the return to our deepest dharma.Brooke also shares reflections from recent time in Kamakhya — the cave, the water, the pulse of the land — and what it stirred in her own heart. This is a sensorial, embodied entry point into the heart of Shakta Tantra and a reminder that every true path of awakening begins in the body, in honesty, and in the places where we have not yet dared to feel.This episode is for anyone drawn to the Divine Feminine, shadow work, the origins of Tantra, or the fierce grace of the Goddess who rises from the ashes of our own suppression.Please stay strong in your self care practices, and live YOU big.

From Witch Trials to the United Nations: Your Power IS Your Voice  A Guru Purnima Transmission from The Wild TempleThis special Guru Purnima episode of The Wild Temple Podcast explores the sacred force of voice—as an offering, a healing, and a reclamation of dharma.The episode opens with the profound recognition that reclaiming one’s voice is both an ancestral inheritance and a spiritual responsibility. Brooke Shannon Sullivan shares a recent revelation from her own lineage: in 1692, during the Salem Witch Trials, her ninth great-grandparents signed a petition to protect their neighbor, John Proctor, from execution. This act of defiance—and the fear it surely carried—still echoes in the bodies of many today who walk the path of healing, midwifery, and spiritual leadership.In this same season, Brooke was invited to deliver an address at the United Nations, where she shared this message:It is time to: "Spread Wildflowers Not Wildfires"This episode weaves together that global call with a personal and collective journey through ancestral healing, sacred speech, and the wisdom of the Earth.Key Themes:Voice as Dharma: exploring the journey of reclaiming voice as a soul-aligned pathMatangi as the Devi of unfiltered truth, misfits, margins, and divine speechThe continuation of witch trials in modern systems—and how healing lineages of silence is revolutionaryA powerful public apology from the Church of Scotland to the women persecuted as witches, and what it signals about collective reckoningThe meaning of deep nourishment in the Tantric tradition—not as indulgence, but as devotion, self-worth, and connection to SourceThe importance of ritual offerings and flowers in Yogic and Vedic lineages, and how they awaken remembrance and relational healingThe formation of the Wildflower Coalition, a movement to seed beauty, care, and resilience in both ecological and spiritual landscapesThe Bhagavad Gita’s enduring reminder of what makes an offering sacred:“Whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water— I accept that offering from the pure-hearted soul.” —Bhagavad Gita 9.26The episode closes with a poetic invocation to the listener:“Our revolution begins with a handful of seeds. With tender nourishment and care, our efforts become living wildflowers. And together, we become a bouquet of resistance and resilience.”A call to remember. A call to speak. A call to plant.🎧 Now streaming on all podcast platforms: The Wild Temple PodcastPlease follow, leave a review and share with a friend!

A Meeting of Hearts with Wolfgang BischoffIn this special episode, Brooke Sullivan shares a heartfelt conversation with Wolfgang Bischoff, a mystic, psychologist, and founder of the Human Culture Academy in Germany. This serendipitous meeting, sparked by a connection through Pandit Rajmani Tigunait’s translator, blossomed into a deep connection and the creation of "Satsang Soulfood," an upcoming event in San Francisco for the Summer Solstice (June 20th).Brooke reflects on the value of speaking with an elder in The Himalayan Tradition of Tantra who has walked a path of both worldly success—as a businessman, philanthropist, and revolutionary—and deep spiritual exploration. She was moved by Wolfgang’s insights, his poetic explanations, and his reflections on the guru-student relationship, including the shifts he made to better serve those involved.Wolfgang Bischoff brings over 45 years of study and spiritual integration under three Himalayan Masters, known for bridging psychological wisdom with sacred teachings. He offers a rare transmission of mantra science, contemplative depth, and heart-centered presence. His work includes mentoring global leaders and supporting Manini e.V., a nonprofit educational project that uplifts girls through education in Orissa, India.The episode delves into Wolfgang’s background, including his involvement in the 1968 West German student movement and his subsequent journey, which led him to work in North Carolina prisons, with Amnesty International, and ultimately to the Himalayan tradition. Key takeaways include Wolfgang’s emphasis that meditation is only successful if it manifests in daily life, and his evolution of the traditional guru-student paradigm.Brooke also shares her own reflections, speaking from her garden about a blooming clary sage flower. She presents this flower as an ally in a time when we must turn inwards for the strength, clarity, and support needed to be active and vital people in the world, and to approach our practice with humility and grace. This episode was recorded during a time of significant socio-political activity, and Brooke emphasizes the importance of turning inwards, finding inner peace, and connecting with community.Listeners are invited to join “Satsang Soulfood” in San Francisco on Summer Solstice, June 20th and a mantra workshop immersion on June June 22nd. Brooke encourages listeners to share their takeaways and insights from the episode and provides contact information for both herself and Wolfgang Bischoff.

In a time where so much focus is placed on destruction, division, and collapse, we often miss the quiet, yet powerful movements of love medicine that is transformation in action. Why is no one talking about this?? We hear about the wars, the climate disasters, the chaos of political power struggles.But what about the women rebuilding their communities after crisis?What about the healers, musicians + artists guiding people back into their bodies?What about the therapists, the teachers, and the everyday humans who are quietly doing the deep work of remembering who they are?💫 What if, amidst the destruction, there is also something profoundly beautiful being born?Because there is. And it is this movement—the one that isn’t loud, but is deeply impactful—that I want to honor today.Honoring the Work of Therapists & Inner HealersI want to take a moment to express deep gratitude for therapists right now.And for those of us doing the work—the thousands paying attention to our mental hygiene, refining our awareness, and learning how to take care of our minds as much as we do our bodies.According to the ancient Sages, this is the most powerful work we can do.To clean the mind.To clear distortions.To see ourselves, and the world, as it truly is.Because when the collective mind is sick, when it’s full of unchecked stress, trauma, and conditioning, it creates a world where it’s not just hard to survive—it’s hard to feel safe, to enjoy life, to thrive.So, here’s to Therapy Rising—to the last five years of this shared, unfolding conversation about what it really means to be well. To the common language we have been learning, so that we can heal and cohabitate better, together. This is an initiation.Become a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Welcome to another episode of our Winter Wisdom Series. Today, I’m honored to be joined by Suzanne Martin—an Ayurvedic practitioner, wellness coach, Yogini, and Tantric, as well as a core faculty member for The Sage Apprenticeship here at The Wild Temple School.In this rich conversation, Suzanne and I explore the sacred trifecta of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra—three powerful technologies that we work with intimately inside The Sage Apprenticeship, our year-long Tantric Yoga Therapy program designed to support dharmic living, deep self-care, and community healing.We ask the big questions: Who am I at my core? What is the essence of my mind and body? How can I cultivate true health and impact the world more meaningfully? And we also explore intuitive guidance as a compass—how to strengthen it, and what to do when that inner knowing feels clouded.Drawing from our shared experiences teaching workshops like Consciousness in Motion, we discuss how yoga is not a one-size-fits-all practice, and how misapplied sequencing in studios today may be preventing practitioners from reaching yoga’s full depth—and even causing harm. This is exactly why The Sage Apprenticeship places such a strong emphasis on Yoga Therapy and the three sisters—Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra—so that we can work with these sacred technologies in a way that truly supports, heals, and amplifies our ability to care for ourselves and our communities.This episode is filled with practical wisdom, including rituals, deep nourishment practices, and what Suzanne calls Shraddha Builders—practices to strengthen devotion and clarity, particularly in the introspective winter season.I hope this conversation brings you insight and inspiration—thank you for being here, and enjoy the episode!xobrookeBecome a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

In this episode of The Wild Temple Podcast, Brooke invites you into the energy of the Amavasya, the dark moon, a time of reflection and healing. This particular Amavasya is especially unique, connected to a rare 144-year shift during the Kumbh Mela, making it a powerful moment for transformation. With the intensity of the news and social media, many of us feel overwhelmed or stuck in cycles of over-engagement or disengagement. Brooke shares practices to help us reconnect with our inner light and empower our calm, centered selves in the midst of the noise.Brooke also takes a closer look at the science of dopamine, explaining how our brain’s “reward chemical” is constantly triggered by the overstimulation of modern life, leaving us feeling anxious, restless, and burnt out. Drawing on the Yogic concept of Rajas—our restless desire for constant activity and stimulation—she connects the dots between this modern dilemma and how we can find a way back to balance.In addition, Brooke shares a personal story from her time at the Kumbh Mela, where the disempowerment of the feminine was healed through the powerful presence of the Divine Feminine and the sacredness of the land. Finally, she offers simple, grounded practices from Yoga Therapy and Tanmatra Chikitsa (sense therapies) to reduce Rajas and balance our dopamine systems, helping us reset and restore our inner calm.

For this Moon’s episode, recorded in Tasmania, I talk with Brenna Quinlan and Charlie Mgee about permaculture. We delve into the origins of the permaculture movement, its principles, and its evolution from gardening to broader cultural practices. Brenna shares her journey from fine art to permaculture illustration, while Charlie discusses combining music with permaculture education. Listen in as we explore how permaculture fosters regenerative solutions, supports diverse passions, and builds meaningful connections to nature and community. You may be wondering why I am in Tasmania. I believe this moment- or really string of moments- are necessary beads for my own Dharmic journey, here with The Wild Temple. I am on a very unique tour, in one way, learning about and helping to promote the Permaculture movement, and in another, supporting Australia’s beloved Gardener (from ABC Australia) Costa, with the launch of his book for children on FLOWERS.But what I am learning the most about, which I am such a fan of, is community, connection and relationships. How valuable it is to be ‘in the present moment’ with a touch of humor.. and if you happen to have some pocket jokes or stories to share, they go a long way.The music you hear in the intro and outro is by Formidable Vegetable.

Today marks a rare convergence—both All Hallows’ Eve and Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated in the East. As we honor Halloween, a tradition rooted in my own ancestral ties to Scotland and Ireland, I’m reminded of the shared theme between these days: a reverence for what lies beyond, whether in the shadows or in the warmth of light. It’s a powerful reminder of memory, the cycles of release and renewal, and how time itself can be a gift—a current that both flows from the past and guides us forward.​This episode explores these themes further, reflecting on memory, resilience, and the ways we’re called to tend to the deep waters of our past through a recent Natural disaster called "Helene." I’ll share thoughts on honoring our ancestors, navigating emotional currents, and the strength we find in community care during times of crisis. Hurricane Helene:Hurricane Helene, large, catastrophic tropical cyclone notable for its rapid intensification that ultimately produced a wide swath of damage and loss of life that extended from northwestern Florida, where the storm made landfall on September 26, 2024, in the mountain ranges of Western North Carolina. Helene’s high winds and flooding killed more than 230 people, making it the deadliest hurricane to strike the U.S. Some estimates put the economic impact of the storm, including property and infrastructure damage, as high as $200 billion, which would make Helene the costliest storm in U.S. history. Helene’s metamorphosis from an area of scattered thunderstorms and rain to a category 4 hurricane in the span of a little more than two days was fueled by abnormally warm waters in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, which meteorologists have attributed to global warming.The occult side of Helene:My dreams, most nights for 11 years (after I had my daughter): Were of floods, devastating flooding waters tearing through our towns, people trying to get away with roads crumbling all around them, landslides, tsunamis, etc.. As soon as we moved to California- I stopped dreaming.Ardra: Ardra Nakshatra is in the Gemini zodiac sign and is characterized by a Teardrop. Ardra Nakshatra means moist or wet and stands for transformation and destruction! The nakshatra also depicts unmet desires of the past life being carried forward to the present life embodied in our subconscious. The female gender Ardra nakshatra is governed by Rahu, whereas Rudra- the lord of storms is the Hindu deity of the nakshatra. The 1,000 year or 30,000 year (depending on who you talk to) storm that is unprecedented in our modern history books, came during a time in the Vedic calendar known as Pitru Paksha. This is the time devoted to the ancestors, and what we were focusing on in ritual practices and research with our Wild Temple School. As I, alongside the thousands that emerged from being “in the dark” in SOS mode, cut off from civilization 3 days later, I noted that we were in the final days of this worship, heightened by the new moon also being in the constellation dedicated to the ancestros. This event, known as Magha Shraddha is powerfully auspicious.. as it amplifies the benefits of ancestor worship, resolving unfinished karma, fostering familial bonds, and inviting ancestral blessings. By honouring their heritage, devotees seek guidance, protection, and prosperity, making Magha Shradh a vital ritual for those seeking to reverence their ancestors. Become a certified Flower Essence PractitionerUnlock the healing power of plants and revolutionize your life.8 weeks of exquisite mentorship exploring the transformative power of Nature, Tantra and Vedic psychology for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
