Lian Brook-Tyler and Jonathan Wilkinson, Wild Sovereign Soul co-founders, trace how the rise of individualism severed our connection to community and spirit, what Jung's individuation actually meant before it was reduced to self-improvement, and what these times are really calling us to. Lian and Jonathan sit down together for their monthly, free-flowing conversation honouring the path of the Wild Sovereign Soul. It's challenging to live in this crazy modern world, the Wild Sovereign Soul path is what we know will help. Each month, they meet live themes from the modern world head on, weaving together what they're currently consuming and creating, how wildness, sovereignty, and soul are showing up in their own lives, and the patterns they're seeing across our students and clients. There is room for curiosity, disagreement, and humour, alongside reflections drawn from their own experiences and initiations, as well as insights from ancient wisdom traditions, astrology, Gene Keys, shamanism, and more. In this episode, Lian and Jonathan explore how individualism became the water we swim in, tracing the distance between what Jung meant by individuation and what it has been flattened into, drawing on Kabbalah, shamanism, David Deida's three stages, and Dr. Jeffrey Martin's cross-tradition research into what union actually looks like when people get far enough along any genuine path. They look at how the self-development world inherited Jung's language while losing his meaning, and how that has left many people cycling through spiritual frameworks in the same way they once cycled through self-help. From there, the conversation opens into what might be reclaimed, what the shaman's role reveals about service and the whole, and what it means that the word "individual" once meant something that could not be divided from everything around it. Listen if you have poured time, energy and money into a spiritual or personal path and sometimes find yourself wondering whether you are actually moving somewhere, or mostly just getting better at thinking about yourself. 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. What you’ll receive from this episode: What the true cost of individualism is, not just for the individual, but for our relationship to community, spirit, and the whole Why individuation, as Jung understood it, has almost nothing to do with becoming more your separate self, and how the gap between that and how it is now used has fuelled a culture of self-obsession How almost every mystical and religious tradition, however different their language, can converge on the same destination when followed far enough What the traditional shaman's role reveals about what goes missing the moment any path of soul becomes primarily about personal development Resources and stuff Lian spoke about: Register your interest for the upcoming Wild Sovereign Soul Pilgrimage here.

Caitlín Matthews, author of over 80 books and shamanic teacher, explains why oracular gifts are survival-level human capacities, how divination works as a practice of truth-seeking, and what it means to receive and transmit a gift responsibly. 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). She 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. For her full bio see the show notes - https://www.wildsovereignsoul.com/podcast/544 In this episode, Lian and Caitlín trace the gifts that sit outside what culture currently names or honours, from the everyday instinct that tells you to take your umbrella to the full weight of the second sight. They move through the history of oracular practice across cultures, how divination has always lived at the heart of serious decision-making, and what it actually means to receive truth on behalf of another person, including what to pass on, what to withhold, and how the transmission itself can harm when handled without care. Lian brings her own experience, including a medium's evening where her father refused to speak through the medium because, as he apparently insisted, she could do it herself. The conversation then opens into the times we are in now, and what it asks of those who carry these gifts, as a practical, grounded orientation toward truth when the world is moving fast and the temptation toward reaction is everywhere. Listen if you carry gifts you've never fully claimed, or you're still negotiating with the weight of what you can see. 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. What you’ll learn from this episode: Why the gifts we now treat as peripheral were once the practical centre of how communities survived and made decisions How to ask a question that the oracle can actually answer, and why the wrong question will give you the wrong result What happens when someone with real sight passes on only what serves, and keeps back what doesn't Resources and stuff that we spoke about: For Caitlín’s books & courses see: www.hallowquest.org.uk‍ ‍ For more of Caitlín’s writing on a range of topics, including a year-long course, Blessings of the Celtic Year, see her Hallowquest Sanctuary at https://substack.com/@caitlinmatthewstigerna Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: (https://www.unioacademy.com/) This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul’s calling to truly live your myth.

🚨Please note: there's a moment in this conversation that contains reference to abuse in childhood Men's work facilitator Hugh Newton names the predator in men as a genuinely dangerous survival force, how it drives manipulation, coercion, and harm when unrecognised, and how men can learn to spot it before it damages others and themselves. Hugh's life began in the midst of a war in Zimbabwe, then known as Rhodesia, and growing up in such harsh conditions meant that he had to work hard to overcome his complex childhood trauma. He began his self development journey over 30 years ago, and his work now focuses on supporting men to meet the parts of themselves that most people would rather deny. In this episode, Lian and Hugh, explore the predator within as a cold, calculating instinct that lives beneath behaviour as a real force that can injure, dominate, and destroy when it operates without awareness or restraint. They explore how this part forms through childhood predation, abuse, and sustained danger, why it learns to hide, disguise itself, and detach from feeling, and how it can shape men's relationships, sexuality, and sense of power. From there, the conversation turns to how predation shows up in everyday life, not just in extreme acts, but through emotional cruelty, sexual pressure, manipulation, subtle undermining, and the inner predator turned inward as relentless self attack… and what it actually takes for a man to face this force safely, take responsibility for it, and prevent it from harming others. Listen if you want to recognise the part of men that goes cold, focused, and dangerous, and understand what actually stops it from hurting the people closest to them. 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. What you'll learn from this episode: Why the predator shuts down feeling in the body, and how that emotional coldness makes harm possible How predatory behaviour often looks ordinary, polite, or successful while still leaving a wound What happens when a man stops denying this force and makes it answer to conscience rather than letting it act unchecked Resources and stuff spoken about: The Sovereign's Journey - May 2026 edition Hugh's book on Amazon Regular online workshops for men Join Hugh on instagram Join Hugh on Facebook Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

Have you ever felt a deep resonance with being an old soul? Join Be Mythical co-founders, Lian Brook-Tyler and Jonathan Wilkinson as they delve into navigating the intricacies and challenges of being an old soul in this modern world. Together they explore the recognition and journey of old souls - someone who has chosen to come to this life with deep work to do and has likely journeyed through many lifetimes. They discuss the challenges of knowing oneself as an old soul, including resistance, fear, and grandiosity, as well as the purpose of old souls, the wound of separation, and the common threads that unite them. The conversation also touches on the call of the wild, the significance of neurodivergence, and the changing landscape for old souls in the modern world and the need for community, support and guidance. We'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: Old souls are individuals who have chosen to come to this life with significant work to do and have likely journeyed through many lifetimes. They tend to possess a deep reverence for life and a sense of ancient wisdom. Old souls often have a deep recognition of themselves as such, which goes beyond any challenges or doubts they may face. Although knowing oneself as an old soul can bring challenges such as resistance, fear, and grandiosity, embracing the term 'old souls' can be empowering and help individuals fully embody their gifts and purpose. Old souls come to this world with a purpose and Material for Liberation to work through. The journey of an old soul involves healing the wound of separation and returning to the truth of who they are. Finding guidance and soul family is essential for old souls on their journey… UNIO is a community and academy that provides the alchemy, kinship, and support for old souls to alchemise and fulfill their purpose.

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, 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 Lian explored the intersection of magic, spirituality, science, and healthcare. Daniel shares his personal journey and the three aspects of himself that led him to explore this integration within and without via the work of the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium, which aims to bridge the gap between the clinical mainstream and the emergent world. The conversation explores the importance of understanding phenomenology, establishing diagnostic categories, and conducting epidemiological studies. As well as the topics of neurodivergence and shamanic sickness, highlighting the need for understanding and support in these areas, and the challenges of recognising and relating to unusual experiences, as well as the tension between regulation and accessibility in alternative healing practices. Finally, Daniel shares his vision for the future, where knowledge and capabilities in these areas are equitably distributed and supported by scientific research. 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. What you'll learn from this episode: The integration of magic, spirituality, science, and healthcare can lead to transformative experiences and intentional healing. Understanding phenomenology and establishing diagnostic categories are crucial for bridging the gap between the clinical mainstream and the emergent world. Epidemiological studies can provide insights into the impact of transformative experiences on mental wellbeing and society. Special projects related to military, security, space, and big data require careful consideration and ethical approaches. Normalization and connection with others who have had similar experiences can be healing and provide support. Understanding and support for neurodivergence and shamanic sickness are important in the context of spiritual and mystical experiences. Recognizing and relating to unusual experiences can be challenging, but pattern recognition and training can help healthcare professionals provide better care. There is a tension between regulation and accessibility in alternative healing practices, and it is important to find a balance that allows for both safety and inclusivity. The vision for the future includes a global clinical mainstream that has a sophisticated understanding of alternative healing practices and the ability to provide equitable access to knowledge and support.

This week's show is with the amazing Erik Jampa Andersson. Erik Jampa Andersson is the founder and director of Shrimala, an author, a London-based practitioner, teacher, and scholar of Tibetan Medicine (Sowa Rigpa), Tibetan Buddhism, and Environmental History. He is a graduate of the Shang Shung Institute School of Tibetan Medicine, and recently completed his MA in History at Goldsmiths University, where his research focused on the historical intersection of ecology, health, and mythology in a more-than-human world. He is the author of Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World is More Than Human (Hay House, May 2023). In this conversation, Erik and Lian explored the hierarchical way humans relate to non-humans (especially in relation to people getting into Shamanism or Jungian approaches). Erik shared his journey through Tibetan Buddhism and into a more immanent approach. They explored the significance of storytelling and fantasy in reclaiming enchantment and fostering a more animistic worldview, emphasising the importance of recognising the personhood of non-human beings and the need to break free from an anthropocentric worldview. They both spoke of the recognition of animism as a foundational way of experiencing the world and the importance of preserving unbroken animistic traditions. 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: Recognise the personhood of non-human beings and embrace the relational experience of enchantment, developing an animistic worldview that acknowledges the diversity and continuity of beingness. Engage in storytelling and fantasy to reclaim enchantment and challenge our conditioned anthropocetric worldview. Preserve and learn from unbroken animistic traditions while being cautious of cultural erasure. Learn from wisdom holders and engage with their knowledge with gratitude and humility, whilst approaching traditional systems with pragmatism and nuance, adapting them to your own life and circumstances rather than taking them on in a way that doesn't take into account the change in context. Focus on building meaningful relationships with others, including non-human beings - this is something we focus on in an upcoming episode Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Visit Erik's Website: shrimala.com erikjampa.com Be Mythical is soon opening the doors to our new academy of alchemical arts - UNIO: The Academy of Sacred Union...

This week's show is with Ian Watson. Ian is an educator, author and facilitator who has worked in the field of well-being, holistic healing and inner transformation since 1988. He has travelled extensively giving seminars, courses and retreats around the world. Ian became widely known as a speaker and writer in homeopathy, which he taught and practised until 2003. He subsequently trained in a wide variety of psychological and emotional healing disciplines in the following decade. Ian has been a lifelong student of the work of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung and the great spiritual traditions of the world, taoism and zen buddhism in particular. In 2011 he discovered the work of Sydney Banks which has been pivotal in aligning his psychological and spiritual understanding together with his holistic approach to health and healing. In this conversation, Ian and Lian journeyed into the topic of balancing the descent to soul with the ascent to spirit, or said differently, the transcendent path versus the path of knowing oneself. They explored the transcendent aspect of the mythological journey and the integration of the spiritual and earthly realms. Lian and Ian both share personal experiences of the transcendent and discuss the role of the Three Principles understanding in making sense of these experiences. They also explored the Western focus on individuality and the importance of heeding intuition and wisdom in order to follow the path of our own soul. The conversation highlights the need to balance the transcendent and earthly realms to live a spiritual life in the physical 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. What you'll learn from this episode: The mythological journey can take us onto seemingly contrary paths that honor both the transcendent aspect and a descent into the human experience and our unique bodies and souls. Following intuition and wisdom can lead to a deeper understanding of one's path and the integration of the transcendent and earthly realms. Living a spiritual life involves recognising the sacredness of the earth and the body. Remembering and forgetting is a natural part of our experience.

This week's show is with Dr. Helané Wahbeh. Helané is the Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University. Dr. Wahbeh is clinically trained as a naturopathic physician and research trained with a Master of Clinical Research and two post-doctoral research fellowships. Recently named President of the Parapsychological Association, she has published on and spoken internationally about her studies on complementary and alternative medicine, mind-body medicine, extended human capacities, stress, posttraumatic stress disorder, and their relationships to physiology, health, and healing. Dr. Wahbeh is especially known for her research around — and noetic approach to — channeling. She is the author of some 90+ peer-reviewed publications, the new book The Science of Channeling: Why You Should Trust Your Intuition and the Force That Connects Us All and Free To Be Me: A Journey of Transformation through Generational Healing. In this show, Helané and Lian explored the topics of telepathy, precognition, and intention - specifically through the lens of harnessing those abilities in the healing arts. Helané shared research on telephone telepathy, where people accurately guess who is calling them above chance, and the power of bringing focused positive intention to support others' health. They also spoke about the unique ways individuals express their intuitive wisdom - although these are abilities we can see in many humans, some do have a genetic propensity to be especially strong in certain abilities - and that's something we can train and hone too. We'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: Telepathy is the communication of impressions from one mind to another that is independent of recognized channels of sense. Research shows that telephone telepathy is a common phenomenon, with people accurately guessing who is calling them above chance. Intention plays a significant role in healing and can be used to support others' health and well-being. The Noetic Signature explores the unique ways individuals express their intuitive gifts, but it's important to recognise that it seems that everyone has the capacity to tap into this wisdom. Using focused positive intention can influence the physical world and contribute to creating a world of peace, love, and freedom for all.

This week's show is with Caitlin Matthews. Caitlin 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 Matthews 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, Caitlin and Lian dived deep the importance of reconnecting with ancestral traditions for those of us who are change-workers and healers. They discussed the power of perception, the call to shamanism, and the role of myth, symbol and metaphor in healing. Caitlin emphasised the importance of voice and singing in ancestral traditions and the fear that often surrounds it. They also explored the unique qualities of the islands and the importance of being rooted in the land. 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: Perception plays a crucial role in shamanic experiences, allowing individuals to perceive things and in ways that others may not be able to. The call to shamanism often comes in a way that gets our attention and may not be comfortable, but it is a powerful and transformative journey. Connecting with ancestral traditions and the land is essential in shamanic practice, as it provides a deep sense of rootedness and connection. The power of voice and singing is a central aspect of ancestral traditions, and overcoming the fear of singing can be a transformative experience.

This week's show is with Joshua Michael Schrei, a writer, a teacher, the founder and host of The Emerald podcast. The Emerald combines evocative narrative, soul-stirring music, and interviews with award-winning authors and luminaries to explore the human experience through a vibrant lens of myth, story, and imagination. The Emerald draws from a deep well of poetry, lore, and mythos to challenge conventional narratives on politics and public discourse, meditation and mindfulness, art, science, literature, and more. A writer, teacher, and a lifelong student of the cosmologies and mythologies of the world — in particular the Indian subcontinent — Josh has sought to navigate the living, animate space of the imagination and advocate for a world that prioritizes imaginative vision. Josh has taught intensive courses in mythology and somatic disciplines for nearly 20 years. In this conversation, Joshua and Lian journeyed into exploring the role of the mythopoetic worldview in change work, i.e. for those of us healing and guiding others. We discuss the importance of myth and the animistic worldview but also that it's the one that humans have held for the vast majority of our time on earth, the need to go beyond intellectual analysis and engage in practical actions and offerings to establish a deeper relationship with the living forces around us, and the challenges of bridging the gap between Western analytical approaches and the embodied knowing of mythic 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. What you'll learn from this episode: Myth is not an abstract concept but a living reality that can be experienced through practical actions and offerings. Engaging with myth and the animistic worldview requires a shift in consciousness and a recognition of our relational responsibility to the living world. The Western worldview often separates us from the animate world, but our ancestors lived in deep reciprocal relationship with the land and its beings. Symbols and archetypes are not mere abstractions but tangible forces that can be experienced and engaged with in a direct and practical way. Forgetting and remembering our connection to the animate world is a continuous process that requires humility and openness to new experiences. Seek out spaces and practices that offer tangible spiritual experiences.

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. What you'll receive from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff Lian spoke about: 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.

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 an exploration, inspired by the question of: What is true growth? They nerded out on telos, fate, astrology, and symbols, and the inherent paradox and challenges we're brought present to whilst journeying on this path. 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: Joanna shared Jung's self-reflective question of "Who am I to have this happen to me?" - this is an orientation to our lives that can invite and open us into having a deep intimacy with ourselves. Allowing symbols to emerge and yet, holding them lightly and allowing the space for the tension of not knowing allows more to arise What will help you to hold the tension between the known and unknown, to journey with the deep questions without needing to kill the questions or fix the problem?

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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about Maggy's Website that you can check out: maggywhitehouse.com treeofsapphires.com Listen to Maggy's podcast: Train Wrecks for Jesus.

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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. Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Medicine '24: find out more and book your Medicine Illumination call HERE Sara Sanderson has a background in coaching and mentoring across the arts, business and community sectors with a passion for supporting people to bring out their creative expression. She sees the potential in others and love to help them to see it too and live fully. Sara has an open and honest approach to life offering a nurturing, loving, truthful, and playful connection with the people she meets and works with. Sara guides and liberates people to live from the truth of who they are, fully expressed to be and do what their soul came here for. She does this professionally through her role as Connection Creatrix at Waking The Wild, and for her own 1:1 clients. She is currently on a journey to undertake an apprenticeship to become a Soul Guide with Waking The Wild Ltd, and to rebirth the social enterprise she co-founded in 2020. Pablo Meccano is a life coach, shadow worker who was once an accomplished designer/maker, turned to living his truth and works from a cabin as a writer and guide, landlocked but never bored in Hertfordshire. He is a grower of herbs, a forager who advises on nutrition and some of nature's more medicinal gifts, and describing his latter-life, as the difference between night and day, guides others to discover the same for themselves. Currently he is setting up a retreat for self-discovery in Cornwall, and continues to write in the genre of science-fiction, both short stories and novels. He invites us all to get out of our head – to that place where us humans were always meant to manifest – meaningfully – quite purposefully from heart in the now. Find out more about Pablo at shamandalacoaching.com Kate Barsby is a Meaning-Maker, Spiritual Guide, Rites of Passage Doula, Ceremony Creator and Holder. She provides spiritual support and soul guidance to women in midlife who long to deepen into themselves, and life, create more ease and love in their relationships and express the fullness of who they came here to be.

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.

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: For more information about Dr. Joanna's work, visit www.aionpsychotherapy.com Thank you for listening!

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Jessica's Website: www.thecottagemystic.com Instagram: @thecottagemysticwitch Jessica's Author Page: https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/moon-books/authors/jessica-howard Thank you for listening!

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: For more information about Rob, visit his website and Facebook page: Website: themagicalplaces.com Facebook: Rob Wildwood's Magical Places Thank you for listening!

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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: 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?

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.

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!). 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: 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.

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff spoken about: Dr Aumatma's Website Join Dr. Aumatma on: Instagram Facebook YouTube TT LinkedIn Dr. Aumatma's Book: Fertility Secrets: What Your Doctor Didn't Tell You About Baby-Making Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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?

What you'll learn from this episode: 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 David Richo and Lian with their respective statues of Our Lady of Guadlupe, mentioned in the show Resources and stuff that we spoke about: For David's books, talks, and events visit his website: https://davericho.com/ Thank you for listening!

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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about Visit Wendy's Website: wendydooner.com The Center for Shamanism: Shamanic Herbal 1:1 with Wendy Follow The Center of Shamanism in Social Media: Facebook: Wendy Dooner Instagram: @wendy.shamanicherbalist Thank you for listening!

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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about Caroline's Website Follow Caroline in her social media: Facebook: Caroline The Original Dragon Lady Instagram: @caroline_original_dragon_lady Thank you for listening!

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Ramon's book "The Ancestral Now" Ancestral Counseling Beyond Health Coaching Thank you for listening!

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 marks a significant turning of the wheel for Wild Sovereign Soul, not only have we rebirthed as The Wild Sovereign Soul Show, which is the first phase of our wider rebirthing of *everything* we do, it's also the first episode of our co-founders Lian Brook-Tyler and Jonathan Wilkinson sitting down together for their monthly, free-flowing conversations honouring the path of the Wild Sovereign Soul. It's challenging to live in this crazy modern world, the Wild Sovereign Soul path is what we know will help. Each month, they'll be meeting live themes from the modern world head on, weaving together what they're currently consuming and creating, how wildness, sovereignty, and soul are showing up in their own lives, along with questions from listeners and the team, and the patterns they're seeing across our students and clients. There is room for curiosity, disagreement, and humour, alongside reflections drawn from their own experiences and initiations, as well as insights from ancient wisdom traditions, astrology, Gene Keys, shamanism, and much more. The show offers grounded perspective, practical insights, and stirring activations for staying soul-led, aware, and responsive inside a modern culture that continually asks us to flatten and deaden ourselves. Each episode is also an invitation to journey deeper with the themes within the Wild Sovereign Soul community, UNIO. In this episode, Lian and Jonathan reflect on twelve years of shaping this work, and on the moment it became clear that Wild Sovereign Soul wasn't another rebrand, but a naming of what had always been at the heart of what they do. Just some of what they speak includes…. The increasing pain and struggle that so many of us are experiencing right now - even more so than they began this work 12 years ago, the soul as North Star, the choices that forge sovereignty, thawing bodies numbed by modern domestication, the moments that awaken soul through loss and love, and the ordinary places this path shows up, in nature, in boredom, and in the decision to say yes or no when it truly matters. Listen if you have ever felt out of place in the modern world, sensed there was a truer life waiting, or wondered what it actually takes to live it. 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. What you'll receive from this episode: Things aren't getting easier, they're only getting crazier and the Wild Sovereign Soul path is what brings us back to ourselves, each other and our own souls How reclaiming wildness restores instinct, belonging, and aliveness in a world that trains us to live from the neck up Why sovereignty always asks a price, and how choosing it reshapes fear, agency, and the way you meet challenge What happens when the soul becomes your North Star as a lived orientation that changes everything Resources and stuff Lian spoke about: Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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.

This week's show is with William Apple. William Apple is a Psychological and Spiritual Mentor, as well as a Psychodynamic Coach. 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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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!

What you'll learn from this episode: 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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Tania's Website: https://www.thewiserwoman.com/ Follow her in Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tania.elfersy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/4TheWiserWoman Thank you for listening!

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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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.

This week's show is with William Apple. William Apple is a Psychological and Spiritual Mentor, as well as a Psychodynamic Coach. 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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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. What you'll learn from this episode: 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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: The article that inspired this conversation Daniel's Official Newsletter: Liminal News Daniel's Website: theliminalinstitute Thank you for listening!

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: 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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Our last episode You and your profile - the book James mentioned Find out about James' professional work at his coaching website James's Hypnosis blog and tutorials website Follow him in his Social Media: Twitter: http://twitter.com/JamesTrippHypno Facebook (coaching): www.facebook.com/James-Tripp-Coaching-1460823207535242 Facebook (hypnosis): www.facebook.com/hypnosiswithouttrance Thank you for listening!

All The Everything is Lian's solo show where she dives deep into a topic, often woven around a myth or fairytale that she's been journeying with. 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 Moonly News email list and are a member of our Facebook group and we'll let you know when the next one is happening. Lian explores what creates a soulful Christmas, beginning with the way the season stirs old memories and sudden tenderness, then circling through the frantic pace that pulls so many of us away from what we actually long for. She speaks about ancient midwinter traditions flickering beneath the surface of modern life, the hush that falls when the light begins to change, and the quiet ache that arrives when we slow down enough to notice what is really happening inside us. From there the conversation moves into the practices that help you hold your ground in the middle of family dynamics, sensory overwhelm and the expectations that seem to gather in the dark of December, settling finally on how vision, community and small daily gestures shape the kind of Christmas you actually want to live. Listen if you have ever felt both joy and dread rising together, wondered why familiar patterns return each year, or longed for a holiday that welcomes every part of you. 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. What you'll receive from this episode: How the old rhythms under Christmas reveal themselves once you stop trying to perform the holiday and start listening for what is already moving beneath it Why acknowledging longing, memory and discomfort can create a steadier, warmer Christmas than pushing for cheer ever could What happens when you root your Christmas in real soulful practices rather than pressure, and how this transforms the way you experience community, self-care and the season itself The Soul Practices Lian invited you into: 🌿 AWAKENING YOUR WILDNESS PRACTICES Wild Practice 1: Sunrise or Moon Greeting Make an intentional devotional choice to go outside each morning or night (depending on whether you're a morning or night person). Go out even for a very short amount of time (even one minute). Greet the sunrise or the moon. Pause and commune with that great being. Let the light (sunlight or moonlight) touch your face. Imagine your breath matching its ancient rhythm. Allow its blessing into you. Receive the gift of light. Wild Practice 2: Choose a Place in Nature & Make an Offering Choose a place in nature (a sit spot, special tree, or a place you feel drawn to). If you don't have one, go and find one. Take a small offering that won't damage the environment or wildlife. Offer it intentionally (for example, seeds for birds). Whisper your gratitude. Make this an intentional act of giving at Christmas in a way that is wilder and older. The offering can be for the place itself or the creatures who live there. Wild Practice 3: Mini Wild Wonder Walk Go for a short walk (even five minutes). Do not set a goal or destination. Allow your belly button to lead you. Notice your body and your breath as you walk. Notice what shifts as you return to belonging to the earth. Come out of the busy, material world and return to your body and the earth. Do this intentionally, even briefly. 👑 ACTUALISING YOUR SOVEREIGNTY PRACTICES Sovereign Practice 1: Inner Child Christmas Inquiry Ask your inner child: What do you wish for Christmas this year? What do you fear? What do you crave? What do you long for? What would allow you to feel safe and welcomed? Allow your inner child to answer you. This can be a daily practice, especially in the mornings. Keep your inner child present with you through the Christmas period. Sovereign Practice 2: Throne of Sovereignty (Before Family Gatherings) Before a family gathering (or before guests descend): Stand or sit with both feet on the ground. Breathe into your belly. Imagine yourself sitting on the throne of your life. Feel yourself rooted to the earth. Imagine a crown on your head, opening to spirit and allowing it to flow through you. Let this remind you of being centred, grounded, and guided. Return to this embodied memory whenever you feel pulled out of centre or old patterns arise. Sovereign Practice 3: Permission to Leave the Room If a situation becomes tense, difficult, or painful: Give yourself permission to leave the room. It can be brief. Even knowing you have permission can be enough. Use simple excuses if needed (loo, letting dogs out, stepping into the garden). Take a moment to ground yourself, reconnect with your inner child, and return to yourself. Recognise this as a sovereign choice. ✨ AWAKENING THE SOUL PRACTICES Soul Practice 1: Read a Nourishing Poem Read a poem that nourishes you. Poets mentioned: David Whyte, Mary Oliver (or your own favourites). Make it a daily ritual, ideally in the morning. Notice the line that speaks to you that day. Journey with that line throughout the day. Ask: What is it wanting your soul to know? What is it opening your soul to? Let the poem be a soul touchstone through the day. Soul Practice 2: Soulful Meditation / Being With Your Soul Meditate in whatever way feels nourishing. It does not need to be long (even five minutes). Avoid forcing or obligation. Create beauty: Light a candle. Gaze into the flame. Simply be with yourself and your soul. This may not even feel like "meditation" — it is a moment of communion with your soul. Soul Practice 3: Listen Deeply Listen to something nourishing: Music An audio (e.g. Richard Rudd / Gene Keys) Let one phrase, melody, or sound shape the tone of your day. Allow it to move through you. Notice what your soul is being called to. Let it remind you of your inner light, especially in bleak or wintry times. The questions Lian asked: Question 1 "If I could shape Christmas around what my soul actually longs for this year, what would it look like?" Question 2 "Will you hold that vision?" Will you hold the vision of what Christmas would look like if your soul was met and fulfilled in what it longs for? It is a sovereign choice to hold a soul-aligned vision.

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.
