This episode is Lian's All The Everything show… her solo space where she dives deeply into a theme that is alive for her, which, if you know her work, could move anywhere… from the most scientific to the most spiritual, and very often a weaving of both… which is exactly why the show carries its name.

It is created for those who feel called toward a soulful life shaped by meaning, depth, truth, and love… for those who feel unsatisfied with quick answers or surface level takes. This is a rich rabbit hole that Lian journeys through alongside you. She speaks from her own lived experience and unfolding process… while inviting you into your own as you listen.

The intention is that you leave feeling less alone in your seeking… more oriented within your life… and more able to trust what you already sense is true. Listeners often share that they leave these conversations feeling more settled, clearer, and more deeply connected to what matters most… both within themselves and in the world around them.

The LIVE making of All The Everything is recorded live on YouTube… to join Lian for the one: Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, subscribed to our Moonly News email list and/or are a member of our Facebook group and we'll let you know when the next one is happening.

In this episode, Lian, explores a question that can split a life in two… are you here to conform, or are you here to diverge? She speaks to the moment you realise you cannot keep shaping yourself to fit, the cost of going along when something inside you is saying no, and what happens when you finally stop pretending that path is yours.

From there, she follows the deeper pattern beneath it… The ancient roots of the words themselves, a stark 1950s experiment that shows how easily humans deny what they can clearly see, and figures like Socrates and Joan of Arc who answered an inner call that would not let them stay inside the lines. The conversation moves into the real price of divergence… grief, rupture, being misunderstood, and why "find the others" is not poetry, it is survival.

Listen if you have ever stayed silent to belong, then felt the hollowing afterwards, or sensed your soul asking for a life that costs more and gives more.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

• How group pressure makes people say what they know is untrue, and what this reveals about conformists, divergents, and the ones caught between

• Why divergence is not about being difficult or different, but about an inner truth that will not be negotiated

• What becomes possible when you stop waiting for permission, claim your own authority, and let your truth be your vital role in the community

• Make sure you're subscribed to our YouTube channel, subscribed to our Moonly News email list and/or are a member of our Facebook group and we'll let you know when the next one is happening.

• Register your interest for the upcoming Wild Sovereign Soul journey here.

• Share what showed up for you listening to this show, including any questions, either in the Be Mythical facebook group or in UNIO.

In this week's show Lian is joined by Dr. Aumatma Simmons. Dr. Aumatma is a double board-certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist revolutionizing fertility care. After witnessing countless couples struggle with invasive treatments, she pioneered a functional approach that addresses root causes - without drugs or financial strain. She's helped hundreds of "medically hopeless" couples conceive naturally.

Beyond her clinical practice, Dr. Aumatma has trained hundreds of physicians, authored a best-selling book, is the host of an award-winning podcast, and created Madre Fertility—the world's first Smart Fertility Analysis. Featured across major networks as the leading Holistic Fertility Expert, she's expanding her "fertile systems" approach to help professionals create abundance without burnout.

In this episode, Lian and Dr. Aumatma explore fertility through a lens that most women are never shown. They touch on the moment her body refused pregnancy in a relationship that looked perfect on paper, the years of painful cycles that only made sense in hindsight, and the cultural myths that tell women their bodies are failing when they are often communicating something vital.

From there, the conversation turns to what fertility is really responding to… safety, stress, sleep, hormones, relationships, and whether a woman's life is in alignment. They look at how birth control can mask deeper issues, why endometriosis so often goes undiagnosed for years, and how menstrual cycles act as early messengers long before fertility becomes a concern.

Listen if you have ever had your symptoms dismissed, worried you were "too old", or sensed that your body was telling the truth before your life caught up.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

• How fertility fear is shaped by age myths, and what changes when you look at real hormonal signals instead

• Why painful or irregular cycles are often early warning lights, not inconveniences to suppress

• The way safety, nervous system regulation, sleep, community with other women, and nourishment quietly shape fertility and overall health long before conception is even on the horizon

This week's show is with Caitlín Matthews. Caitlín is an internationally renowned author, a teacher of shamanic training programme, a facilitator of Systemic Ritual® and the co-founder of the Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies (FÍOS).

Caitlín is the author of over 80 books, including Diary of a Soul Doctor, Singing the Soul Back Home, the Art of Celtic Seership, Celtic Devotional and The Celtic Book of the Dead. Her books have won a number of awards. She is known internationally for her work on the spiritual, mythic and ancestral traditions of Britain and Ireland. She teaches and works with communities and spiritual institutions worldwide from Iceland to Portugal and from USA to Australia.

Caitlín is a co-founder of the Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies (FÍOS), which is dedicated to the sacred arts that shape the landscape of the soul, via vision, dream and memory. FÍOS hosts masterclasses with exemplars of living, oracular sacred traditions that are rarely recorded in writing or given an honourable place in modern society. Caitlín has had a shamanic healing practice in Oxford for the last 30 years, working in the community to deepen connections to the ancestral traditions which are our heritage.

In this conversation, Lian and Caitlín explore the very real but mostly forgotten 'small print' of working with myth and archetypes. They touch the older meaning of myth as something that never happened and is always happening, the danger of lifting archetypes out of their living stories, and the cost of hubris when we claim what is not ours. They look at what actually helps: context, reciprocity, and clear human boundaries.

They name moments that have taught them: Lian's unexpected meeting with Athena on a sunlit hill above the sea, Caitlin's doorstep story that fused life with the horse goddess, and the terrible Bali tale that shows why respect matters. Listen if you have ever felt the call of a god or goddess and wondered how to answer it whilst keeping both your wonder and your wits.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

• How sacred contracts, offerings, and manners keep archetypal work sane, grounded, and mutually respectful

• Why context and lineage matter, and what goes wrong when archetypes are severed from their myths

• What happens when identification replaces relationship, and the simple practices that restore right distance

• For Caitlín's books & courses see: www.hallowquest.org.uk

This week's show is with Maggy Whitehouse. Maggy Whitehouse is an independent sacramental minister, a lifetime student of Judaeo-Christian mysticism, the author of 20 books on spirituality, mysticism and Bible metaphysics and started out as a stand-up comedian at the age of 56.

She was a finalist in the 2015 UK Funny Women Awards. Maggy has worked in newspapers, radio, TV, for the BBC's famed World Service and, most recently, was Sunday morning faith presenter for BBC Radio Devon. She made it on to Wikipedia after writing a sensible book about Opus Dei at the time of all the palaver over The Da Vinci Code.

She has been widowed, divorced, healed from cancer, worked as a hospice chaplain, ridden on a Bengal tiger and survived a barracuda attack off the Barrier Reef.

Both Maggy's mother and her Bishop think she should get a proper job.

In this show, Lian and Maggy explored resistance, specifically through the lens of how it shows up in the form of temptations to avoid expressing our soul's truth, how we can tell when it's showing up (by design it's sneaky), and how we can learn to orient back to our souls and God.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• Noticing your 'Should's and 'Yes but's… they are clues to resistance showing up

• Make your connection to the Divine a priority, do it first and often, 30 seconds of meditation, lighting a candle, going to your altar, speaking a prayer… a little goes a long way to taking you back to your soul

• Let the light of your own unique soul be that which helps others to navigate back to theirs

This week's show is with Wendy Dooner. Wendy Dooner is a Medical Herbalist and Shamanic Practitioner from Scotland who is passionate about reconnecting women with the innate healing wisdom of nature and their bodies.

Wendy graduated from university in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science (honours) degree in Herbal Medicine (Phytotherapy) and, more recently, a 3-year advanced Shamanic Practitioner course. Weaving back together the threads of science, magic and spirituality in herbal medicine has been a major focus of her practice recently and is a cornerstone of her teachings; she now practices what she has called Shamanic Herbalism. Through her online courses, workshops, or one-on-one consultations, Wendy ensures that this wonderful blend of ancient wisdom and modern science reaches all her students.

At the heart of Wendy's practice is her profound connection with her native medicinal plants. She believes that these plants hold the answers to many of our modern ailments.

In her practice, Wendy doesn't just prescribe herbs; she introduces her clients to a world where plants are people; they are teachers, guides, allies and elders. She believes that every plant has a story to tell and a lesson to impart, and it's her mission to facilitate these transformative conversations between nature and the individual.

She lives happily in a small community in the foothills of the Cairngorms in Scotland with her husband and 2 young sons, where she forages in the wilds of the moorlands, grows herbs in her messy garden and skateboards at every spare opportunity.

In this show, Lian and Wendy explored our experience and understanding of autistic people, and maybe especially women, being designed to be healers, how the very aspects of ourselves that have created struggles, can be used in service of helping others to heal, and what we've seen can be helpful to alchemise those challenges into gold.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• As both Lian and Wendy's experiences showed, being late diagnosed as a woman can bring its own emotions and challenges - there's a reckoning and grieving needed in order to move forward into claiming the gifts that autism brings

• Pattern recognition, empathy, adherence to ritual, openness to spirits and other realms, and attention to detail are all aspects of autism that can be used in service of supporting others in their journey to wholeness

• Diving into the work of reclaiming the unwanted and hidden parts of us is challenging for most people but maybe especially for autistic people for whom there has been an even greater challenge, necessity, and effort needed to fit in and function - it requires the right support and readiness, and we can be helped by understanding and using some of the very same gifts we will ultimately serve to others.

This week's show is a round table conversation with five medicinal souls sharing their journey of becoming their medicine. They are Sara Sanderson - a soul guide and seer, Pablo Meccano, a coach, shadow worker, science fiction writer & grower of medicinal plants, Kate Barsby - a soul guide, Georgie Anstey - a community farmer, and Karl Brooks - a drum circle facilitator.

All of whom are alumni of different cohorts of our signature crucible Medicine, which guides medicinal old souls to discover their purpose, uncover their unique gifts, and become their medicine.

The journey they went on is an ancient journey, experienced in different ways in different cultures across the world and throughout history, and so the episode was a rich exploration of their own personal journey of this archetypal journey, traveling deep into their sacred wounds, to alchemise their medicine, first giving it to themselves and then serving it to others.

Lian was called to hold the conversation in a circle-style way, similar to Medicine itself, so you'll hear each person speaking themselves into circle using their medicine name, something that was uncovered during their work in Medicine. Notice what intrigues or activates you, both in the medicine names and also throughout the episode - and what it might reveal about your own soul's calling.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• I loved how each of the medicinal ones had different experiences of Medicine, including why they joined, even though the work journeyed through was apparently the same - this is because the work is really happening inside them - their own soul's longings, wounds, alchemy, and medicine.

• What Karl said, and Pablo echoed, about the power of not knowing and journeying with the mystery, is an important principle of initiation, and is required when we are journeying into territory beyond the ideas and tools we have learned and clung to.

• Kate and Georgie both shared about how their medicine was first taken by themselves - we can only alchemise that potency and uniqueness of medicine ourselves - and this is true nature of healing.

• What Sara shared about truth and expression is something that is so important for all medicinal souls to hear - most of us are meant to express ourselves in ways that are different to most people in our modern culture. That's the most challenging thing of all for so many of us, and why we benefit from doing this work in a circle of others who can witness and support us in that unfurling into our truth.

This week's show is with the amazing Dr Joanna Laprade. Joanna LaPrade, M.A. Ph.D., is a Registered Psychotherapist, author, speaker, and educator.

Joanna LaPrade, M.A. Ph.D., earned her doctorate in Jungian and archetypal psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is now the founder of Aion Psychotherapy and a practicing Jungian psychotherapist in Colorado. Her therapeutic work focuses on helping clients find a meaningful connection to their inner worlds.

Outside of her practice, Dr. LaPrade is a speaker and educator whose expertise focus on myth, psyche, and the Jungian and archetypal perspective. She is also the author of Forged in Darkness: The Many Paths of Personal Transformation, a book that unites self-discovery with mythology, to handle an important dilemma of our times—how to navigate the darkness of life.

In this conversation, Dr Joanna and Lian dived deep into the underworld, what that means for us personally and in our work with others, the challenges of that given the functioning bias of our modern culture, and how we can better honour and become intimate with the dark places in our psyches and our work.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• Our culture is so focused on functioning, the direct route, bigger, brighter and braver, it can be very unwelcome to be pulled into the underworld to meet the parts of ourselves that have been left there, especially when that entails a risk of not functioning

• As change workers we need to go first, embodying and modeling an intimacy with the darkness, it is only from here that we can hold the space for our clients to do the same

• The myths can illuminate the path into and out of the darkness - allowing us to see the deeper, collective, and archetypal nature of what we're experiencing

This week's show is with Michael Meade. Michael Meade, D.H.L., is a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology.

He combines hypnotic storytelling, street-savvy perceptiveness, and spellbinding interpretations of ancient myths with a deep knowledge of cross-cultural rituals. He has an unusual ability to distill and synthesize these disciplines, tapping into ancestral sources of wisdom and connecting them to the stories we are living today.

He is the author of Awakening the Soul, The Genius Myth, Fate and Destiny: The Two Agreements of The Soul, Why the World Doesn't End, The Water of Life: Initiation and the Tempering of the Soul; editor, with James Hillman and Robert Bly, of Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart; and the creator of the Living Myth Podcast.

Michael Meade is the founder of Mosaic Multicultural Foundation, a nonprofit network of artists, activists, and community builders that encourages greater understanding between diverse peoples.

In this conversation, Michael and Lian explored the wonderful topic of how mythic narratives reveal hidden knowledge for healing and making things whole, especially for those of us working as change-makers and healers of others.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• I've noticed that so many people can connect the dots back to events in childhood that seeded their destiny, or marked their soul, as Michael said. Michael's own story of being gifted the book of mythology was a beautiful example of this. I also loved how he said that our calling will keep calling!

• Stories are a way we can enter the dream, the other world, as a group - and discover our place in the story.

• As Michael said, archetypes come with vital energy and intention - which is exactly what we need right now for healing ourselves and the collective

• Myths show us that beginnings come with endings and that as Michael said "the cracks are where the archetypes get through."

This week's show is with Jessica Howard, an author and a mentor who has been a practicing witch for over 20 years.

She has dabbled in a wide array of magick, including Ceremonial Magick, Chaos Magick, Heathenry, as well as less witchcraft based spiritual practices like Buddhism and Taoism.

She is the author of 'The Art of Lithomancy' and 'The Water Witch: An Introduction To Water Water Witchcraft', and she has a passion for all things spiritual. Jessica currently mentors as a part of an online group, specifically in Energy Work, Kitchen Witchcraft, Guided Meditation and Visualisation and Lithomancy.

In this conversation, Jessica and Lian explored the fascinating topic of divination, and specifically through the lens of healers and guides using divination as part of our work when serving our clients.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• As change workers, there's a powerful distinction to relate to divination as a way to awareness of what's at play now, rather than as fortune-telling, for both ourselves and also in our work with others

• What are we connecting with: specific spirits, our own subconscious, or Spirit/God as a whole? Or maybe all three.

• Wild nature is perhaps our oldest and most innate form of divination and is something that holds deep potential for understanding ourselves in the family of things

This week's show is with Rob Wildwood. Rob Wildwood is an author, a photographer, a tour guide and a folklore researcher from the North of England.

Rob Wildwood was born in a seaside town in Yorkshire and spent his childhood exploring the local countryside and the myths and folklore of the North York Moors. He was introduced to Norse shamanism in his early twenties and had a keen interest in history, particularly the history of Britain's pagan past. He spent many years taking part in Viking festivals all over Europe and spent some years living in Scandinavia where he expanded his online business called 'The Jelling Dragon' which sells hand-crafted reproductions of Viking artefacts.

He was fascinated by the animist beliefs of primitive cultures, which see everything in nature as being imbued with spirit. This led Rob to travel the world experiencing indigenous cultures, including spending time with the Kalahari Bushmen, the nomadic Penan of Borneo and the forest Naikas of India.

These travels revived his interest in shamanism and he eventually returned to England to study core shamanism in Glastonbury. While there he also became involved in the faery scene where people dressed as magical beings and even practiced a form of pagan faery spirituality. This marked the beginning of another long adventure where he sought out and photographed magical places all over Britain, tuning into the energies of these places and receiving channelled messages using shamanic journeying techniques. This led directly to the publication of his first book 'Magical Places of Britain' which is a richly illustrated photographic guide to the folklore of these sites. His spiritual adventures and visionary experiences while visiting these sites have now finally been collated into this book you are holding, 'The Land of the Fae'.

Rob has subsequently visited many more sacred sites and magical places, both in Britain and while travelling extensively around the world, including sites in Ireland, Scandinavia, North America, Hawaii, New Zealand, Indonesia, India and eventually Australia, where he spent several seasons studying Aboriginal culture and exploring the dreamtime legends of the sacred landscape there. These experiences led to the publication of his book 'Primal Awareness' which seeks to answer the question: "Why did mankind become so separated from nature and world of spirit?" The book also offers exercises that seek to redress this imbalance.

Rob also became interested in dowsing, ley lines and earth energies, and has followed ley lines extensively across Britain and Europe. He eventually settled down in Glastonbury, Somerset where he still lives and is self-employed as an author, photographer and tour guide.

In this conversation, Rob and Lian explored the magical history of Britain, how we can reconnect to this land and its spirits, and reclaim the magical, mythical worldview that's our human birthright.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• The folklore and tales of the land can act like maps showing us the magical places and beings that inhabit those places that are waiting for us to re-discover them

• To commune with the spirits of the land, we need to create the right conditions to open to them - whether that's a shamanic journey, following the breath or entering trance in some other way.

• Rob has seen that the beings of the land want to be recognised and honoured again - we can give them that with our attention and offerings

All The Everything is Lian's monthly solo show where she often shares what she's been creating, consuming, and celebrating before diving deep into a topic inspired or chosen by members of The Wolf Pack.

The LIVE making of the show is recorded in our Facebook group and for the first 30mins before Lian hits the record button you are invited to a pre-show party to get up close and personal with Lian and have your questions on the month's topic answered.

To receive a reminder of when the pre-show party and LIVE making of All The Everything is happening, make sure you're subscribed to our email list and are a member of the Facebook group. All the details you need are HERE!

In this episode, Lian dived deep into the topic 'Who is the Wounded Healer?', answering questions and sharing the experiences of group members. She covered:

• Who is the Wounded Healer? This could be anyone in the work of making well and whole, chances are you don't call yourself a healer (I didn't for a long time), you might call yourself a coach, guide or some kind of teacher, leader or practitioner

• How to illuminate your core wound

• The importance of your wound in your work (and what happens when we bypass or deny the wound as many innocently do, especially in spiritual circles)

• How to alchemise your wound into medicine - ie how you can heal the wound and serve others most deeply from it

• To see your Chiron placement, look at the sign (e.g. Pisces), the House (e.g. 7th House), and aspects such as conjunctions and oppositions, especially with your Sun

• Listen to podcast: The Shadow Pole: Do you know when your actions are still coming from fear?

• Read blogs related to Wounded Healer below:

  • Are you a wounded healer? ♐️

She has been widowed, divorced, healed from cancer, worked as a hospice chaplain, ridden on a Bengal tiger and survived a barracuda attack off the Barrier Reef.

Both Maggy's mother and her Bishop think she should get a proper job.

In this show, Lian and Maggy explored the importance of our relationship to God for those of us in the work of serving as healers (whether or not we call ourselves that) - how we as wounded healers need to go to the source of the wound we have about God in order to heal it, the different ways this wounding shows up, and that can be revealed in what we will and won't call God (which informed the very naming of this show!).

• Maggy's story of her late husband and how it wounded her was such a clear example of how we can experience disconnection from God, not everyone's story will be as obvious as this but it doesn't mean the wound isn't there

• Becoming aware of how we perceive we are being punished or abandoned by God, and understanding that it isn't what's truly happening, means we can begin to heal our relationship

• What are the words for God that you feel uncomfortable with or feel a strong negative reaction to? You can use this as an enquiry into where the wound might be.

• Maggy's Website that you can check out:

This week's show is with Chris Park. Chris Park is a founding member of the Beekeeping History Trust, a skep beekeeper, skep-maker, apitherapy student and a practicing Druid.

Chris lives on an organic farm in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire, U.K. His work is wide and varied, from arts and crafts, ancient technologies, experimental archaeology and educational projects to eco-building, storytelling, folk music, mental health, apitherapy, and raising the awareness of the heritage of beekeeping. He is a practicing Druid of the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids, being immersed and versed in the folklore and spiritual traditions rooted within the honeyed isles of Britain & Europe.

In this conversation, Chris and I explored the old Irish triad of hearth as altar, work as worship, and service as sacrament, what each of them means to us both, and the invitation this triad provides to anyone, but perhaps especially those of us who are consciously working in some way in service to spirit.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• Hearth as altar: How can you pay attention, bring reverence, and allow your home to chart your relationship to spirit?

• Work as worship: Is your work worship? Is the way you be in your work worshipful?

• Service as sacrament: How are you of service in the wider world - to your land, your community of all beings - human and otherwise, the earth? How is your service an offering and receiving of divine grace?

In this week's show Lian is joined by Serdar Hararovich. Serdar is a Relationship & Secure Attachment Specialist offering integrative, attachment-based coaching and healing. He supports both men and women to heal early attachment wounds, establish inner security, reclaim their deepest self, and cultivate the emotional skills required for deep, soulful, and secure love.

Serdar works with a wide variety of individuals - including, but not limited to, therapists, relationship coaches, and other practitioners. The common thread among his clients is a deep desire to go beyond the surface - people tired of quick-fix techniques and oversimplified approaches to healing. Those ready to do the kind of work that awakens their deepest potential - allowing them to master the art of true intimacy and experience the kind of love that transforms everything.

In this episode, Lian and Serdar explore what it really means to honour the differences between men and women without turning them into prescriptions or performances. They touch the gap in how partners want to communicate between dates, why anxious attachment can pile five issues into one talk, and what withdrawal can really signal. They look at emotional safety in plain terms, the pull of projection and transference, and how simple, steady awareness shifts the tone of a relationship.

They look at what actually helps: recognising difference without blame, letting curiosity replace judgement, and using relationship as a mirror for self-knowledge. Listen if you've ever wondered why men and women so often miss each other, felt uneasy naming masculine or feminine traits, or wanted a way to see those forces as sacred, human, and alive rather than stereotyped.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

• How honouring difference deepens intimacy without falling into polarity roles

• Why curiosity and emotional safety make real understanding possible

• What happens when you stop performing gender and start living it as energy and truth

In this conversation, David and I explored knowing when we or our clients are ready to choose to make big changes, the mysterious nature of the right timing, and the role of grace.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• There's a point at which we know when we're ready to make a change, this isn't something that is logical or external - learning to honour that as both individuals and change workers is vital

• When we attempt to apply broad brush strokes, cultural norms or formulas to ourselves or our clients, we miss the unique nature of each person and the timing that is right

• I love how David spoke about the role of grace providing synchronicities and insights… there's something greater at play than our ego when it comes to change, and actually life as a whole - we are not in control

• The presence of Grace

This week's show is with Wendy Dooner. Wendy Dooner is a Medical Herbalist and Shamanic Practitioner from Scotland who is passionate about reconnecting women with the innate healing wisdom of nature and their bodies.

Wendy graduated from university in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science (honours) degree in Herbal Medicine (Phytotherapy) and, more recently, a 3-year advanced Shamanic Practitioner course. Weaving back together the threads of science, magic and spirituality in herbal medicine has been a major focus of her practice recently and is a cornerstone of her teachings; she now practices what she has called Shamanic Herbalism. Through her online courses, workshops, or one-on-one consultations, Wendy ensures that this wonderful blend of ancient wisdom and modern science reaches all her students.

At the heart of Wendy's practice is her profound connection with her native medicinal plants. She believes that these plants hold the answers to many of our modern ailments.

In her practice, Wendy doesn't just prescribe herbs; she introduces her clients to a world where plants are people; they are teachers, guides, allies and elders. She believes that every plant has a story to tell and a lesson to impart, and it's her mission to facilitate these transformative conversations between nature and the individual.

She lives happily in a small community in the foothills of the Cairngorms in Scotland with her husband and 2 young sons, where she forages in the wilds of the moorlands, grows herbs in her messy garden and skateboards at every spare opportunity.

In this show, Lian and Wendy explored how we as healers and guides serving others can connect with and work with the healing spirits of the plants in our local land, the life-changing impact that's had on us both, reciprocity and permission, and how plants can show us the maps of life and the way back to ourselves.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• Wendy's story of beginning with a scientific, materialist approach to healing before then being called into a deeper spiritual connection is an arc that so many of us seem to be called to as healers and guides

• When we pay attention, the plant of our land are communicating with us constantly, they can teach us deep truths about the universe (such as Wendy's experience with the hawthorn giving her an embodied teaching about death and rebirth) or show us important breadcrumbs on our path (as the oak did for me, propelling me onto the shamanic path)

• Creating a true relationship between humans and other beings and spirits based on respect and reciprocity is vital - making offerings, asking permission, and asking what plants are beautiful ways to begin this kind of relationship

This week's show is with Caroline Mitchell. Caroline Mitchell is the UK's leading dragon lady, dragon author and channeler and has been working with the dragons since 2005.

Caroline is the author of the bestselling oracle cards The Dragon Path Oracle and the book How to Live with Dragons, both of which are published by Watkins.

She is also a Reiki Master, Dragon Guided Reiki Master, Dragon Healing Practitioner, Crystal Healing Practitioner, Meditation and Mindful Meditation teacher. She has also been reading the tarot for over 30 years and working as a professional psychic and reader - she has guided and supported thousands of people to navigate their way through life, whether this be personal or business. 

Caroline has over 20 years' experience as a workshop leader and facilitator. More recently, she has been a regular lecturer at the College of Psychic Studies in central London. She has taught thousands of people, sharing her knowledge and wisdom on everything from dragons to meditation to teaching the tarot cards and much more.

In this show, Lian and Caroline explored connecting to and working with our spirit guides and helpers (of all kinds), especially those of us here to serve others as healers, guides and teachers, what opens the doorways to this relationship and the devotion required, and lastly some fascinating wisdom about working with dragons in particular - which was illuminating for me personally as you'll hear,

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• In order to connect to and hear our guides, we need to allow our minds to grow quiet - this could be forms of mindfulness and meditation or nature-based practices as we teach at Waking The Wild

• Sovereignty and synchronicity stood out to me specifically in relation to dragons but they really are essential to some degree to almost anyone working with spirit in service to others

• The three phases we spoke about which Caroline likened to Maiden, Mother and Crone, are helpful to be aware of as it shows that we are always guided according to where we are on our path and our specific needs according to the work we're here to do with others

This week's show is with Ramon Castellanos. Ramon is the author of the book "The Ancestral Now", as well as a teacher and facilitator of health-craft, healing alchemy, and ancestral reconnection.

Ramon grew up in a household devoted to shamanic traditions connected to the African Diaspora, where he was initiated, and taught how to work with magic from a very young age. As a teenager, he underwent a severe spiritual crisis, spontaneous Kundalini awakening, and later, multiple physical illnesses. He spent ten years living and working at a wolf sanctuary in the Zuni mountains of New Mexico, where his experience of the wilderness and wild animals helped shape his view of the human condition. His own healing led him to work closely with multiple spiritual teachers and he now holds instructor-ship capacity in a variety of systems of internal alchemy. He is an instructor of several energetic systems including, Primordial Alchemy, The Kundalini Awakening Process, and Eight Extraordinary Vessels qigong.

In this conversation, Ramon and I explored the ancient function and archetype of the shaman, what it means in a modern context, shamanic sickness, and individualism and collectivism.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• As Ramon and my experiences with shamanic sickness showed - they can vary from person to person but will tend to have similar themes of death or near-death, feelings of going crazy, and physical sickness of some kind - and as Ramon said, our culture has no understanding of any of this, which means we suffer the lack of context and meaning

• Whilst we lack true community in our culture, the role of the shaman only makes sense within a community so those of us called to that function are maybe also called to redream what the role of shaman and community means in this context

• As we devote to individuation - uniting with our own unique souls - we are able to understand our role in the whole

Author of 12 books, including three best-sellers, her passions are Connection, Communication and enabling women to make lasting changes in the world. This theme runs through her books and her coaching.

Elen founded the Power-Full Women podcast in 2022. The podcast features women change- makers from all over the world who help others find their voice and make a difference. Her guests include businesswomen from many spheres who all have a deep connection with themselves, nature and other people.

When not working, Elen actively supports her local wildlife trust and writes for the Mammal Society.

She loves cats, eats paleo, and her motto is "If the cat and the boyfriend disagree, get rid of the boyfriend!"

In today's show Elen and Lian explored the old magical ways of Britain, what they are, how we can begin to reclaim them - and why you might want to. Much of what we spoke of is also applicable to the land you're on, even if it's not Britain.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• The Old Ways are incredibly practical and powerful in our daily lives - because that's why they were practiced in the first place and survived for so long.

• Pay attention to the moon cycles, sun cycles and seasons, notice how they affect you and then notice how you can align with them before taking that gnosis out to your family or team

• Go watch a sunset or a sunrise - treat yourself to the miracle!

This week's show is with Ramon Castellanos. Ramon is the author of the book "The Ancestral Now", as well as a teacher and facilitator of health-craft, healing alchemy, and ancestral reconnection.

This week's show is with Ramon Castellanos. Ramon was raised in a household devoted to a profound magical tradition stemming from the African Diaspora. Hence, his magical training started in early childhood.

Ramon grew up in a household devoted to shamanic traditions connected to the African Diaspora, where he was initiated, and taught how to work with magic from a very young age. As a teenager, he underwent a severe spiritual crisis, spontaneous Kundalini awakening, and later, multiple physical illnesses. He spent ten years living and working at a wolf sanctuary in the Zuni mountains of New Mexico, where his experience of the wilderness and wild animals helped shape his view of the human condition. His own healing led him to work closely with multiple spiritual teachers and he now holds instructor-ship capacity in a variety of systems of internal alchemy. He is an instructor of several energetic systems including, Primordial Alchemy, The Kundalini Awakening Process, and Eight Extraordinary Vessels qigong.

In this conversation, Ramon and I explored our culture's ideas about business and money, what many of us are being called to in terms of understanding our role in those conditioned ideas that are so different to our cultural heritage, and how we can create our businesses more intentionally and with gnosis of the spiritual reality underpinning all of it.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• We have very little idea of true community in our modern culture, raised as we have been in our own 'bordered farms', it's no wonder we approach business from such a fearful, individualistic perspective.

• I loved the honesty with which Ramon spoke of his pain about the way he would be left to suffer if he could no longer be productive, and how he can now see this has driven him to participate in modern business systems the way he has - this is the reality for almost all of us, if we are to be truly honest with ourselves.

• With compassion and devotion to doing the deepest work, we can create something that honours our innate interconnection with everything in a modern context - if you're listening to this conversation and feel resonance with what we spoke about then perhaps you're meant to be part of that creation.

This week's show is with Mary Reynolds. Mary Reynolds is an accomplished landscape designer who gained international recognition after debuting at the Chelsea flower show in 2002. Her inspiring story was featured in the 2016 film "Dare to be Wild".

In addition to being a bestselling author and occasional television presenter, she also founded "We are the ARK", a global movement aimed at promoting practical solutions for preserving the environment. Mary is also an advocate for safe and sustainable food production, and actively campaigns against harmful practices such as the use of pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, and fossil fuels. Despite her many accomplishments, Mary remains humble and is known to dabble in cooking.
In this conversation, Mary and I explored the arking movement, why she sees its so necessary, what can get in the way of us going from gardeners to guardians, the small changes we can all make to be part of healing the land, and how ultimately it's healing ourselves.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• Arking is something tangible and accessible that we can all do in some way, rather than waiting for someone or something else to create the solution, and if enoigh of us do it it could create a tipping point in consciousness

• As we support the land to heal, it will provide a reflection of and support our own healing in ways that are truly magical

• We can begin small and simply by stopping the use of chemicals, creating small passageways between our garden and surrounding land, turning land back to nature, removing non-native species, and watching and waiting.

In this episode, Lian tells the ancient allegory of Plato's Cave, a story of awakening and the painful beauty of learning to see.

Each month, Lian's shared a mythical tale as a doorway into your own soul. These stories are one of the oldest ways ancestral wisdom has been carried down to us, a living inheritance that continues to speak when we meet them with reverence.

And this one feels especially poignant, because it will be the last story Lian tells in this way. Our community is evolving into its next form, UNIO: the Community for Wild Sovereign Souls. UNIO now becomes the living home for the Wild Sovereign Soul path, where together we reclaim our wildness, actualise our sovereignty, and awaken our souls. Rather than gathering for story and ceremony, we'll now meet twice each month in our community Guidance Circle so Jonathan and Lian can meet you exactly where you are and with whatever challenges you're experiencing from relationships and health, to money and parenting, to guide you to meet the material for liberation your soul is calling you to so that you may become truly free, living the life your heart longs for.

You can find out more, and walk with us, at bemythical.com/unio

The allegory tells of prisoners bound in a dark cavern, of shadows mistaken for truth, and of one who dares to turn toward the fire and climb into the blinding light of the sun.

Lian tells the story of what happens when old beliefs begin to crack, when freedom calls but belonging pulls us back, and when the warmth of truth burns before it heals. Together, we follow the soul's climb from illusion to insight, from comfort to clarity.

Listen if you've ever felt caught between the safety of what you know and the wild unknown of what could be.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

• The prisoners' world of shadows shows how easily belief can bind us, and how truth begins the moment we dare to question what we see.

• The climb from the cave reminds us that awakening is rarely gentle… it asks for courage, endurance, and the willingness to let old certainties fall away.

• Plato's allegory endures because it still speaks to our souls today, carrying ancestral wisdom about seeing clearly, walking together toward truth, and remembering the light that was always waiting.

The Foundation of his Work is rooted in Carl Jung's Concept of "Individuation", and takes a new approach towards fostering a conscious relationship with that Process by quantifying a Depth Psychological and Psychoanalytic approach to the Inner Child as a Precursor to Shadow Work. He is Certified in CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory, and his Inner Child Work is strongly influenced by Alice Miller, D.W. Winnicott, Jacque Lacan, Marion Woodman, Magda Gerber, Bell Hooks, and many others.

In this conversation, William and I explored the unfolding journey of creating a relationship with the inner child, how confronting it can feel to see how much of our life has been created from the wounding of the child, and how we can be with that in an accepting and accountable way, and lastly and maybe surprisingly, given what a gloomy picture I may have just painted - how it can be a beautiful and playful experience!

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• The inner child is all the wounded parts of us that have been fractured through conditioning and the parts of us that have been created as coping mechanisms as a result

• The fish metaphor that arose is one that I think is very helpful in allowing us to see the depths of the conditioning - as William said "We've been led to believe we're fish!"

• I loved what William said about how those of us who have been in the work for many years, it's not been a waste of time - it's actually a map back to ourselves if we look at the work and our fantasies about it, it can reveal so much about our wounds. We can continue doing that work, with awareness and actually enjoying the play!

This week's show is with Frederica Helmiere. Frederica Helmiere is a complexity enthusiast and an aficionado of transformational learning experiences. Frederica currently serves as Director of the Synthesis Institute's Psychedelic Practitioner Training program.

Prior to this, she served as Director of Education at Spiritual Directors International, designing online learning experiences for advanced spiritual professionals. In the past she has served as a Peace Corps volunteer, a global interfaith peacebuilder, a bike mechanic, log cabin builder, and faculty at the University of Washington and Seattle University.

Fascinated by the ways that consciousness, worldviews and discourses change and expand, she has spent the past twenty years exploring the tools available to respond to civilizational crises, especially the modern West's loss of the sacred.

Frederica holds masters degrees from Yale Divinity School and the Yale School of the Environment, and a BA from Dartmouth College in Religion & Environmental studies. She lives in Seattle with her husband and daughters.

In this conversation, Frederica and I explored education and training for psychedelic practitioners in the emerging psychedelic landscape, the different ways we can learn a craft, the notion of 'calling', and the readiness to practice.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• I love what Frederica spoke about in terms of the different ways of knowing: somatic/embodied, cognitive, sacred and relational. We so heavily prize cognitive knowing in the modern culture and yet it clearly is only one way, not the only way.

• The practices of healing and guiding are thousands of years old, and whilst there very much can be a place for formal training and accreditation, lived experience over many years is something that also has deep value - we can consciously bring both together

• Whilst we can think that all we need is a certificate of accreditation, I love what Frederica said about the gnosis of readiness to serve can come directly from Spirit or from our community recognising that we have a much-needed skill to offer.

This week's show is with Tania Elfersy. Tania Elfersy is the author of The Wiser Woman's Guide to Perimenopause and Menopause. She is a transformative coach, speaker and blogger, specializing in natural approaches to midlife women's health.

Tania has spent years researching what causes and what can relieve symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause. She became free of her own physical and emotional symptoms through insight alone.

Tania set up The Wiser Woman project in 2015 to help women transform their experience of midlife change. Through her coaching, writing and teaching, Tania focuses on connecting women to the innate brilliance of their bodies, having seen that healing occurs with ease when we relax into the divine intelligence within.

In this conversation, Lian and Tania explored the topic of the powerful rite of passage provided by menopause and peri-menopause, what's in the way of women embracing it in that way, and the changes that Tania's witnessed in the UK in particular recently.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• Tania shared the recent changes she's seen in the UK in particular, in which menopause is being increasingly pathologised and medicated as the norm, this flies in the face of the latest research that many other countries are aligning with

• The changes the menopause brings are an important rite of passage that initiates women into the elderhood - their wise woman, we need these wise women in our communities

• I loved Tania's Medusa story, all of us have archetypes that can guide and support our embodiment and expression of what's true for us

This week's show is with Morgan O. Smith. Morgan O. Smith is a renowned meditation instructor and spiritual teacher, who experienced a life-altering spiritual awakening in 2008 that led him to establish Yinnergy Meditation.

This initiative focuses on deep brainwave entrainment to foster emotional, mental, and spiritual growth. Yinnergy has been embraced by various institutions, including non-profits, schools, and healthcare centers, particularly in marginalized communities. Morgan's upcoming book, Bodhi in the Brain, explores the connection between meditation and neuroscience.

Honored with numerous accolades for his dedication, Morgan has collaborated with institutions such as the Institute of Noetic Sciences and has presented at prestigious conferences like the 37th Annual ICR Conference. He has also been featured on podcasts, including "Guru Viking" with Steve James.

Before his spiritual journey, Morgan enjoyed a successful career as a comedy writer, stand-up comedian, and television personality, most notably co-hosting the award-winning show "Buzz." Sharing the stage with famous comedians and appearing in various television shows, indie films, and documentaries, Morgan's insights even inspired Arian Herbert's book, "The God Behind The God."

In this conversation, we explored Morgan's journey to non-dual awakening, his fascinating work with brainwave entrainment and psychedelics, and the work he now does with young people.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• Morgan's story shows how life will take us on the journey for us, with synchronicities and seemingly random opportunities, and past skills leading the way

• I found Morgan's experiments with different psychedelics and brain entrainment absolutely fascinating - a melding of ancient and modern technologies

• Whether you resonate with the use of psychedelics or brainwave entrainment or not, perhaps this episode will open up more possibilities for you to heal and awaken.

This week's show is with Rhonda McCrimmon. Rhonda McCrimmon is a Celtic Seer and Shaman from Scotland focusing on creating shamanic pathways for those who have been disconnected from their animist lineage and heritage.

Through her various free social media communities, ShamanTalk podcast, Spiritual Momentum Membership, Apprenticeship Program, online workshops, healing circles, and website, she has created a safe, clear doorway for thousands of people to reconnect with their indigenous Celtic roots & find creative shamanic ways to restore a consciously connected spiritual life.

Walking a shamanic path for nearly a decade, and more recently as the Founder & CEO of The Centre for Shamanism, Rhonda has featured in The Guardian and on BBC Radio 4, Nicky Campbell's BBC Radio 5 podcast 'Different' and BBC 1 Sunday Live discussing shamanism. She follows her calling with single-minded determination, making shamanic practices accessible for all within an ethical, loving spiritual tribe.

In this conversation, Rhonda and I explored shamanism for the modern world, we focused specifically on British or Celtic shamanism, and her fascinating work with the ancient technology of the Three Cauldrons.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• True shamanism is based in our connection with the land we're living on, so for those of us in the UK - where we don't have the intact lineage in the same way as other places, even though we might benefit from learning from shamanic teachers and wisdom keepers from other places, ultimately nothing can replace learning directly from the spirits of the British land.

• The Three Cauldron power centres are found in the Head, the Heart and the Gut, and map to findings in scientific research and other methodologies.

• The Lower cauldron in the gut represents your sense of self and safety, when we're born it's upright and full of your lifeforce energy to sustain you through your life - it needs a loving, securely attachment to retain its power growing from childhood to adulthood. A loss of its power can happen via childhood trauma and can show up in fear, depression, and anxiety. Ways to heal it are shamanic healing, EDMR, breathwork and somatic work.

• The Mid Cauldron in the heart represents emotional intelligence. Issues here show up in triggers and tantrums, healing this cauldron can come via talking therapy, boundary work and shadow work.

• The Upper Cauldron in the Head represents wisdom, creativity and the higher self. Issues here can show up with blocks in creativity, inspiration and spirituality, working with the cauldron can come via faith, sacrifice and offerings.

• It is important that we begin with the Lower Cauldron work (or return to do it) as it's where the life force comes from that will sustain us through the work of the other cauldrons.

The Foundation of his Work is rooted in Carl Jung's Concept of "Individuation", and takes a new approach towards fostering a conscious relationship with that Process by quantifying a Depth Psychological and Psychoanalytic approach to the Inner Child as a Precursor to Shadow Work. He is Certified in CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory, and his Inner Child Work is strongly influenced by Alice Miller, D.W. Winnicott, Jacque Lacan, Marion Woodman, Magda Gerber, Bell Hooks, and many others.

In this conversation, William and I explored, Phantasy vs Fantasy, what is meant by each, how to know which you're engaging in, and how to work with them consciously.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• Phantasy means the spectres of the past are being projected onto the world, whereas Fantasy means what we generally think of the word - conscious engagement of imagining things (and being honest and accountable about that).

• Once this distinction between the two types is clear, it allows us to see more clearly how we show up in the world, not just to others but to ourselves.

• We rarely see others for who they are, we see them for who we phantasise them to be. Projections are the non-verbal hopes, dreams and expectations of what we hope that world will be like so we can feel safe. The hopes, dreams and expectations are coming from the spectres of the past - which are unmet needs from childhood which are now being projected out onto others and the world.

• The work of consciously working with our phantasies means being accountable for them, without shame, blame and guilt.

• Reclaiming and remembering how to consciously fantasise with our active imagination, particularly with our projections, can be so healing and also fun!

This week's show is with Daniel Pinchbeck. Daniel is the New York Times bestselling author of Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, How Soon Is Now, and When Plants Dream (with Sophia Roklhin).

He hosted the talk show Mind Shift on Gaia TV and was featured in the 2010 documentary, 2012: Time for Change. He has written for many publications including The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Wired, Dazed & Confused, Purple, and ArtForum. He is the director of Liminal.news, an online course platform, and publishes a regular newsletter, Danielpinchbeck.substack.com .

In this conversation, Daniel and I explored the fascinating topic of Secret Histories and Spiritual Revolutions, why we need magic right now, and how our relationship to myth can reawaken our imaginative and intuitive faculties.

The quote we mentioned:

"What if at the higher levels of meaning consciousness is like a hyperspace in which each point is equidistant from the other and where 'the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere? … The mythologies of the occult seem like baroque music: there is an overall similar quality of sound and movement, but, upon examination, each piece of music is unique; Vivaldi and Scarlatti are similar and different." - William Irwin Thompson, Passages About Earth

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• Even as someone who spends a lot of time contemplating the importance of magic, it impacted me deeply hearing Daniel share about how Western esoteric knowledge in particular is largely missing in today's world

• We, as a culture, have ridiculed and denied the truth and power of magic and esoteric knowledge, and there's something very healing in reclaiming it

• I loved what Daniel said about how our relationship to myth can reawaken our imaginative and intuitive faculties. Humans live and think mythologically, that we are scientific and logical just isn't true, the more we can make our mythical nature conscious, the more we can engage with myths in a generative and opening way

This week's show is with the amazing James Tripp. James is an internationally recognised authority in the fields of self development, personal mastery and generative changework.

Coming from a diverse background including philosophy, music, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnotic facilitation as well as author of the critically acclaimed book of the same title.

In his one-to-one work, James works with individuals looking to become better adapted in consistently creating outcomes they value and living lives they love. Since turning professional in 2007 his clients have included artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and business creators, c-suite executives, actors and performers, frontline services operatives, medical doctors, writers, special forces operatives and military veterans.

Beyond his one-to-one work, James has presented at conferences and run workshops across Europe, Australia and North and South America, and his 'home turf (London and Edinburgh) workshops typically draw students from around the world.

In today's show, kind of a part two to our recent episode, James and Lian explored the topic of the conversation you're having with the world. They spoke about sovereignty, how all of us are changing in every conversation, and how we can be discerning about what we share with the world.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• Whether it's marketing or change work - we can have conversations which honour the sovereignty of everyone involved

• A conversation is two-way (or more) and everyone involved is changing as a result - recognising that allows us to be in conversations of any kind in a humble and open way

• Authenticity vs profilicity - your truth doesn't need to be your whole truth, you can discern what's aligned to share and what to keep private

This week's show is with William Whitecloud. William is a best-selling author and a creative development trainer. His famous publications include The Magician's Way: What It Really Takes to Find Your Treasure, The Last Shaman, and Secrets Of Natural Success; Five Steps to Unlocking Your Genius Through the pandemic, he made his foundational 5 day-training, Create Your Destiny, which he made available for free as a 5-week online course.

He is the founder and chairman of Natural Success which is a training and mentoring provider.

He now resides in Santa Monica, California where he enjoys time with his family, writing and at the same time developing movies.

In this show, William and Lian spoke about victim vs creator, what William means by both terms, how we can move to the apex above the swing… and what that will take… a lifetime of education.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• Victim is experiencing life as happening to you vs Creator is experiencing life you happening to life… A simple distinction that we can notice in any moment.

• I loved how William described moving to the apex above the swing so we don't identify with either side.

• We can't expect this to be an overnight shift or something we can learn easily… it takes practice and devotion.

In this week's show Lian is joined once again by Mike Bais. Mike is Lian's own Kabbalah teacher, a physiotherapist, counsellor, university lecturer and author, also having had his own practice for many years. He is a trained priest in the esoteric christian tradition, which lead him to follow the mystical side of this lineage called the A.S.A. (Apostolic Succession of Arimathea). He believes that the Teachings of Christ are universal and should not be limited to a religious structure.

His esoteric training comes from the western mystery tradition and the Toledano Kabbalah. Living in the Netherlands (Utrecht) he extensively worked with teachers and groups in the UK. 

After some decades of study and practice in the western esoteric tradition, the inner work came together in these three streams or disciplines that make up the Circle of Avalon.

Mike sees it as his life's work to teach these traditions to whomever wishes to receive them. He is a mystic and teacher by nature and through his groups, individual sessions, workshops and writing, transmits them in the most pure and true way he knows.

Mike is the author of 3 books: Paths on the Tree of Wisdom – A course in 21st Century Kabbalah, A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 1 and A Kabbalistic view on science: Book 2.

In this episode, Lian and Mike look at manifestation through its deeper metaphysical roots. They touch on how morality shapes what we bring into being, the psyche as the passage between the unseen and the physical, and the limits of trying to manifest from the surface of the mind alone. Together they reflect on how unconscious manifestation plays out all the time and why consciousness changes everything.

They look at what actually helps: focus that holds steady in a distracted world, alignment across mind, body, and soul, and devotion to a principle that keeps us centred when life pulls us apart.

Listen if you've ever questioned why vision boards only go so far, wondered what really makes manifestation work, or felt the tension between your desires and what serves something greater.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

• How the psyche acts as a filter for manifestation, shaping not just what we want but why we want it

• Why alignment across body, psyche, and soul is the difference between scattered wishing and true creation

• What happens when focus and devotion become your North Star in a culture set up to scatter attention

This week's show is with Ramon Castellanos. Ramon was raised in a household devoted to a profound magical tradition stemming from the African Diaspora. Hence, his magical training started in early childhood.

He has studied closely with multiple high-level spiritual, magical and internal alchemy teachers. Having healed himself from multiple health conditions, his learning has allowed him to act as a health coach, working directly under multiple physicians. He is also an instructor of several energetic systems including, Primordial Alchemy, The Kundalini Awakening Process, and Eight Extraordinary Vessels qigong. And after spending a decade living and working in the wilderness at a wolf sanctuary, and learning directly from the animals, he found a deep love for the ancestral inheritance we share with life on this planet.

In this conversation, Ramon and I explored magic and our ancestral inheritance, he shared his own story of being raised with magic as reality, his own rejection and reclamation of magic, and practical ways we can all remember our magical birthright.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• Ramon's clear teaching that the animist worldview is actually an innate human worldview moved me deeply - knowing we are immersed the interconnected aliveness of everything is how humans understood reality for the vast majority of human history

• I adored Ramon's lizard metaphor! Understanding the magical, animist nature of life is a tail that we can all grow back if we choose

• Make offerings, speak to trees, connect with your ancestors… reclaim the relationship with the world that is your birthright

• Ramon's book "The Ancestral Now"

• Ancestral Counseling

Known as 'The Digital Sniper', he has published the books 'Spirit Said' and 'Secure The Throne: An Introduction to Alpha-Tribalism.' He is also a personal advisor, a facilitator of leaders, a thinker, a minister, a loving husband and father.

In today's show, Eli and Lian explored being authentic and true to yourself, how our wounds can get in the way of that, and how we can choose the initiations that will move us beyond that.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• Becoming more authentic is a process of understanding the wound cycle we're in and choosing the initiation that will take us beyond it

• I loved how Eli spoke about keeping other people out of your mind - if we don't have other voices in our heads, it's clear what's right for us

• The powerful enquiry Eli invited us into: How do you serve life?

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram. Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, is a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium.

He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others.

In this conversation, Daniel and I explored the topic of where magic and spirituality meet, how they can seem at odds, even though magical phenomena are found in many mystical traditions, how Daniel found his way to a life and work in which they belong together, and how he sees they have an important role in understanding and working to improve mental health.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• Daniel's story illustrates how in many spiritual traditions, magical effects are considered almost a distraction and not something to focus on, whereas his path took him into the conscious practice of magick too - Daniel discovered Kasina and elemental practices from the ancient Buddhist texts could actually be a powerful aid in his ceremonial magic practice, showing that meditative traditions and magick can happily co-exist

• I love what Daniel said… "There is a there - if you get your concentration and intention right." (very overly simplistically paraphrased!)

• We spoke about the seeming dichotomy between the rational, scientific worldview and the magical worldview - which just like magic and spirituality, doesn't have to be choice between one or the other.

• I love what Daniel said about there being no other culture in the history of the world that has this completely non-spiritual take on mental health, in the way we do in this modern culture. For this to change we probably need to create the choice and research to compare mainstream frameworks and approaches vs spiritual ones.

This week's show is with Vanessa Broers. Vanessa Broers is a transformational author, speaker, coach and the host of The Practical Magical Show.

From running away from summer camp at age six, to getting called to the principal's office at age 11 for writing a letter to the teacher telling the truth about disliking class, Vanessa seems to have been born with an inability to behave or play by the rules.

Guided ferociously by a devotion to truth, insatiable appetite for more and a refusal to compromise anything she loves, Vanessa was put on this planet to liberate women into their highest potential professionally, power spiritually and expression personally.

She supports powerful women to unapologetically unleash the full truth of who they are so they can create magic, live fiercely incredible lives and enjoy every single moment - while experiencing unprecedented levels of success.

In this conversation, Lian and Vanessa explored what it means to become your unique medicine, our experiences with the coaching industry, the journey from coach to doing your deepest soul work, why it's hard, what it costs, what it brings, i.e. why it's worth EVERYTHING!

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• I adored Vanessa's seeing of the coaching industry and how it feels when someone first enters it… magic is real, possibility, wonder, and innocence - what we've always been searching for!

• When you reach the place that it appears everyone wants to get to and you still don't feel it's right - what then? This is something that so few people seem to be speaking about. And as we spoke about, much of that might be because coaches don't fully understand the ancient roots of what's called coaching in this modern world.

• Doing your soul work requires taking the long, hard journey into our wounds to alchemise them into gifts, this is essential in us becoming who we really are.

All The Everything is Lian's monthly solo show where she often shares what she's been creating, consuming, and celebrating before diving deep into a topic inspired or chosen by members of The Wolf Pack.

The LIVE making of the show is recorded in our Facebook group and for the first 30 minutes before Lian hits the record button you are invited to a pre-show party to get up close and personal with Lian and have your questions on the month's topic answered.

To receive a reminder of when the pre-show party and LIVE making of All The Everything is happening, make sure you're subscribed to our email list and are a member of the Facebook group. All the details you need are HERE!

In this episode, Lian dived deep into the topic How embodying archetypes helps you to do your soul work. Sara from Team Waking The Wild said ahead of the show - to expect from Lian deep wisdom, celebration and tears of love and gratitude. AND we certainly did get all that.

Here is a taste of some of the questions asked during the pre-show party:

"What about people who have their feet firmly planted in the "real" world (*me*) but has a very strong draw to the magical world. Is working with archetypes "worthwhile" or would we be better served focusing on "other" things …."

"Is it usual for someone to journey through the different archetypes? Or to embody different archetypes at once/ throughout the course of a week or even a day?"

"Would you say Archetypes don't force themselves upon you or is there a bit of both? As in a clear invitation and sometimes a BIG prod but then they go quiet if you choose out?"

Lian weaved the answers to these questions into the following topics that were covered during the show:

• What exactly are archetypes?

• Aren't they just fantasy or role play?

• How can they really make a difference to our lives?

• If I don't already know my archetypes, doesn't it mean I'm not magical?

• How do archetypes help people to do their soul work?

• What happens if we don't want to work with archetypes? Is it really that important?

If you're at all curious about the role archetypes play in your life and why they are important, even vital, when it comes to you doing your soul work, this is the show for you!

This week's show is with Arielle Brown. Arielle Brown is a well known Intimacy Coach, Embodiment Guide and an Alignment Mentor. She is a teacher, facilitator, and ceremonialist specializing in energetic alignment, relational alchemy, and authentic communication skills.

Arielle Brown guides visionary entrepreneurs, leaders, and creators towards embodying their full authentic self in leadership through healing and reclaiming disowned or suppressed aspects of their sexuality. Arielle's work is in service to helping humanity come into right relationship with truth and power–and in particular how we wield those life-giving forces in love and leadership–which ultimately begins with re-establishing our inherent connection to the Sacred. The private mentorship, mastermind, and membership containers Arielle holds create powerful, connected, and compassionate spaces to release distorted ways of relating with Self and Other rooted in shame, fear, scarcity, and self-abandonment, so we can be embodied blueprints leading the way in love for the world we wish to create.

In this conversation, Arielle and I explored desire and how it can be a compass for our highest destiny, our soul path. We spoke about the different kinds of desire, the way fear shows up, and how to hold ourselves through the gauntlets desire will take us through.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below or share in our fb group.

• There's compensatory desire that comes from wounding - the kind that compels us towards experiences that aren't for our higher good or that of the whole, and there's pure desire, which is how our soul is showing is what's for us.

• It's typical that pure desire will show up with fear too… we will need to bring awareness to the ways fear is distorting our behavior as we move toward what we desire.

• In order to create (and actually, to be created anew ourselves), we also have to release and allow to die what's no longer aligned… we need to grieve in order to receive pleasure.

This week's show is with Tad Hargrave. Tad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again).

Despite years in the non-profit and activist world, he finally had to admit he was a marketing nerd and, in the end, he became a marketing coach for hippies. Maybe it was because he couldn't stand seeing his hippy friends struggle to promote their amazing, green and holistic projects. Maybe it was because he couldn't keep a 9-5 job to save his life.

Whatever the reason, for almost a decade, he has been touring his marketing workshops around Canada, bringing refreshing and unorthodox ideas to conscious entrepreneurs and green businesses that help them grow their organizations and businesses (without selling their souls).  He has also offered most of his workshops on a modified pay what you can basis (a small deposit to attend and then people choose the amount they want to pay at the very end).

This all feels like a minor miracle as Tad spent his early marketing days learning and applying some very inauthentic, high pressure, extremely gross and pushy marketing approaches. This has made him suuuuper allergic to these kinds of approaches because he discovered they made him feel slimy (even in personal friendships), he didn't sleep well and he's very sorry to all those people he spoke with back in the day. After a decade of unlearning and unpacking that whole scene – he now feels ready and able to help other people find ways to market that feel wonderful.

In this show, we spoke about your niche, aka your role in the community, illuminated through the lens of your Gifts, your Nature and your Wound. We explored what is meant by all three and how they inform both your work and your marketing.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• Your Gifts inform the shape of your work and also your marketing, what are you naturally good at and love to do?

• You Nature informs the tone or vibe of your work - this could be described as your personality. Often others can reflect this to us more easily than we can determine this ourselves. It's also so helpful to notice what Tad said about the way we will also benefit from honouring our human nature.

• Your Wounds inform the direction of your work - ie what you're taking from and to. I loved the ways Tad made the distinction of your wound vs your scar. Heal your wounds and share the stories of your scars.

This week's show is with my friend and many times past guest, the amazing James Tripp. James is an internationally recognised authority in the fields of self development, personal mastery and generative changework.

​Coming from a diverse background including philosophy, music, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnotic facilitation as well as author of the critically acclaimed book of the same title.

In his one-to-one work, James works with individuals looking to become better adapted in consistently creating outcomes they value and living lives they love. Since turning professional in 2007 his clients have included artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and business creators, c-suite executives, actors and performers, frontline services operatives, medical doctors, writers, special forces operatives and military veterans.

Beyond his one-to-one work, James has presented at conferences and run workshops across Europe, Australia and North and South America, and his 'home turf (London and Edinburgh) workshops typically draw students from around the world.

In today's show, James and Lian explored the topic of working dialogically vs diagnostically in changework… or put in differently, how we can honour and harness the unknown, unseen and unconscious when we're working, or rather communicating, with our clients, as healers, coaches and guides; how we believe the human mind works versus how it actually works, and why working dialogically is more in alignment with how we actually work.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• James and I spoke about how we tend to culturally adopt the technology of the age as a metaphor for how the mind works - currently, that's computers, however helpful it can be as a metaphor in some settings, it's ultimately it's lacking and limited as a window into how complex humans actually are, especially when it comes to change work.

• Working with clients in the deepest, truest and most functional way means recognising we're actually working with the clients in the context of their lives and their relationships, including their relationship with us as change workers. As soon as we sit with a client and begin communicating, we are both changing.

• Humans are complex, self-organising systems, we have an emergent adaptive intelligence. Although many people are adapted to the lives they've got, it's important to remember that adaptedness comes from adaptiveness - and we can switch our adaptiveness back on.

This week's show is with Daniel Fox. Daniel is an expert in relationships and dating and has combined his skills as an Author, Researcher, and Coach to help individuals achieve better experiences in these areas. He is the author of the book "The Altitude Code," which provides valuable insights into adult values development and leadership. In his role as a Dating and Relationship coach, Daniel helps women tap into their inner radiance and men rediscover the joy of loving service. He is an advocate for the power of polarity in relationships.

In this show, Daniel and Lian dived deep and geeked out on intimacy, polarity and relationships… referencing Deida's three stages of relationships, Daniel's own seeing and articulation of these stages, archetypes and much more!

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation…  please leave a comment below.

• Deida's three stages are Dependance, 50/50 and Intimate Communion. Daniel was speaking about similar stages as Tyranny, Anarchy and Symbiotic.

• There's a real cost to the lack of embodiment of mature Masculine and Feminine archetypes - and therefore a lack of symbiotic relationships - but we're largely unaware of that because they're barely present in our culture as a possibility in contrast to the norm

• This lack is why looking deeper and broader to history across the world and directly to the divine archetypes can be so powerfully illuminating.

In this week's show, Lian is joined by Nicholas Breeze Wood. Nicholas has practiced shamanism for over 40 years, combining it with the 'earthier' end of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as with 'medicine' teachings from Native North American peoples. He has worked with many gifted medicine people and shamans over the years, and is deeply apprenticed to his own spirit helpers, whose teachings never fail to awe and surprise him.

Nick's shamanism is a fusion of traditional Himalayan and Mongolian forms, combined with teachings from his own spirits. He works especially deeply with ritual objects - such as bronze shaman's mirrors, phurba daggers and many other Mongolian and Tibetan shamanic and Buddhist ritual objects - for which he holds traditional teachings and, where required, traditional initiations.

Despite being a 'rather uneducated Buddhist,' he is an ordained Tibetan Buddhist lama, a type called a ngakpa, whose role is similar to a shaman's. Ngakpas are non-monastic, non-celebrate lamas who live in the community, specialising in ritual and magic for people within their community.

Nick is the editor of Sacred Hoop Magazine - a leading international magazine about shamanism - which has been published since 1993. He is also a musician and artist.

 He is the author of several books including, 'Walking with the Tiger,' 'Sacred Drums of Siberia,' 'A Little Book of Revealing,' 'Voices From The Earth,' 'The Book of the Shaman,' 'The Shaman Box,' and 'The Resplendent Other'.

 He runs the large Facebook group 3Worlds Shamanism, has done a podcast called the 3Worlds shamanism podcast on and off since 2006 and also has a somewhat neglected YouTube channel, also called 3Worlds Shamanism.

In this conversation, Lian and Nick trace the line between animism and shamanism. They explore how industrial life thinned our old ways, and what simple rites restore a living conversation with the more-than-human world.

They look at what actually helps: a small daily offering that slows you down, a tree-side ceremony that teaches you to listen, and the humility of walking behind the sacred rather than in front. Listen if you have felt the pull back to nature and wondered whether it means animist, shamanist, or simply human… answering an innate way of seeing.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

• How a living-matter view changes our lives, and why calling it "animism" might clarify the pull you already feel

• Why simple offerings reshape your pace and attention, and how reciprocity steadies you when life gets noisy

• What happens when humility leads, and the subtle signs that tell you a deeper calling is knocking

This week's show is with Arielle Brown. Arielle Brown is a well known Intimacy Coach, Embodiment Guide and an Alignment Mentor. She is a teacher, facilitator, and ceremonialist specializing in energetic alignment, relational alchemy, and authentic communication skills.

Arielle Brown guides visionary entrepreneurs, leaders, and creators towards embodying their full authentic self in leadership through healing and reclaiming disowned or suppressed aspects of their sexuality. Arielle's work is in service to helping humanity come into right relationship with truth and power–and in particular how we wield those life-giving forces in love and leadership–which ultimately begins with re-establishing our inherent connection to the Sacred. The private mentorship, mastermind, and membership containers Arielle holds create powerful, connected, and compassionate spaces to release distorted ways of relating with Self and Other rooted in shame, fear, scarcity, and self-abandonment, so we can be embodied blueprints leading the way in love for the world we wish to create.

In this conversation, Arielle and I explored the role of high sensation experiences in service of personal growth. What kinds of experiences they are, the reasons for choosing them and what they can bring in terms of both wanted and unwanted impacts, and how we can become more conscious of our choices.

• High sensation experiences include taking part in medicine ceremonies, experiences that expand our relationship to our sexuality, and high cost mentoring containers.

• Whilst sometimes high sensation experiences can be completely aligned, there are times when they can be chosen from a fearful need for looking cool, not to be left out, or to meet someone else's expectations or desires.

• When choosing into high sensation experiences, being able to make the most of the opportunity they present and create the integration afterwards, it is hugely beneficial to have a deep devotion to staying attuned to our nervous system, really listening to what we feel and what we need.

In this show, Anthar and Lian explored how outside change begins with what's inside. We explored practices and ways of being that connect us with the old ways, how some people are here to be the bridges to the new, and the importance of connecting with our land and ancestors.

I'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.

• When we want to change the world, we can begin with ourselves… clean our own blood and we clean the river.

• What kind of seed are you? One that is here to spread prolifically now or one that's here to grow slowly, with the results of what you plant being something that your ancestors many generations from now will benefit from?

• I love how Anther spoke about the importance of connecting to our land and our ancestors - that we care about our relations and they care about us
