In this episode of The Wild Temple Podcast, Brooke Shannon Sullivan opens a sacred and vulnerable space to explore self-mastery in chaotic times, offering a window into the heart-centered voices of her Sage Apprentices as they graduate from their year-long journey of transformation.
Drawing deeply from the ancient traditions of Tantra Yoga and Ayurveda, Brooke illuminates how living in alignment with nature, cultivating self-awareness, and integrating daily practices can become the path to personal power, clarity, and soulful impact.
This episode is both a teaching and a transmission — an invitation to feel, remember, and reclaim your inner sage through grit, grace, and radical truth.
From a beautiful edge of the Scottish coast, Brooke offers a New Moon transmission that feels part dream, part prayer, part sacred assignment.
She shares a visionary dream—from 2 nights ago, where we as women are on a covert mission.. walking a path into the belly of the beast in service to Sacred Law. From Rosie the Riveteer to Waverly Trainstation potent magic occurs beneath a roof of bark and breath. Are you ready to take the journey? To be a sister who chooses not to burn the bundle, but to distill it through voice?!
This special Guru Purnima episode of The Wild Temple Podcast explores the sacred force of voice—as an offering, a healing, and a reclamation of dharma.
The episode opens with the profound recognition that reclaiming one’s voice is both an ancestral inheritance and a spiritual responsibility. Brooke Shannon Sullivan shares a recent revelation from her own lineage: in 1692, during the Salem Witch Trials, her ninth great-grandparents signed a petition to protect their neighbor, John Proctor, from execution. This act of defiance—and the fear it surely carried—still echoes in the bodies of many today who walk the path of healing, midwifery, and spiritual leadership.

In this episode of The Wild Temple Podcast, I sit down with Stephanie Chee Baréa—a lifelong educator, Yogini, sound healer, and feminine empowerment guide.

Stephanie shares her vision of women’s empowerment, exploring what it truly means to step into leadership roles with authenticity and courage. She also discusses the power of sound healing as a tool for transformation and connection.
In a time where so much focus is placed on destruction, division, and collapse, we often miss the quiet, yet powerful movements of love medicine that is transformation in action.
Why is no one talking about this??
We hear about the wars, the climate disasters, the chaos of political power struggles.
But what about the women rebuilding their communities after crisis?
What about the healers, musicians + artists guiding people back into their bodies?
What about the therapists, the teachers, and the everyday humans who are quietly doing the deep work of remembering who they are?
What if, amidst the destruction, there is also something profoundly beautiful being born?
In this rich conversation, Suzanne and I explore the sacred trifecta of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Tantra—three powerful technologies that we work with intimately inside The Sage Apprenticeship, our year-long Tantric Yoga Therapy program designed to support dharmic living, deep self-care, and community healing.
We ask the big questions: Who am I at my core? What is the essence of my mind and body? How can I cultivate true health and impact the world more meaningfully? And we also explore intuitive guidance as a compass—how to strengthen it, and what to do when that inner knowing feels clouded.
In this episode, Brooke and Clare discuss Dharmic living, and unveil some key aspects that may go against the grain of how in modern culture we are taught, or programmed to be. Some topics discussed include:
Cleansing as a regenerative, nourishing practice
The kind of yoga and life that empowers dharma
Being a voice for the feminine and empowering women
Our sensorial awakening when we live aligned with (and imbibe in) the seasons
The magic of tantra and making sh*t happen
