The Wild Sovereign Soul Show

Lian and Celtic author and shamanic teacher Caitlín Matthews explore why so many people feel overwhelmed by world news, technology and everyday complexity, and how a minimum daily spiritual practice, prayer and ancestral support can help.

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.

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 episode, Lian and Caitlín talk about the heavy, hairy overcoat so many people are wearing in these times, made of 24 hour news, letters full of QR codes, local upheaval and the wider troubles of the world, all layered on top of whatever personal difficulty they have. Caitlín explains why that overcoat makes something serious feel catastrophic, and why it needs laying aside before anyone can see where they really are.

They look at why spiritual practice is so often the first thing to go when life gets hectic, although it is the thing that can really help… what a minimum practice might look like, along with prayer, calling on the ancestors who already know how to meet plague and upheaval, and asking for spirit allies when things get stuck.

Listen if you feel weighed down by everything happening in the world, or you’ve let your spiritual practice slip and wonder how to find your way back to 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 learn from this episode:

• Why spiritual practice tends to disappear first when life becomes overwhelming, and how knowing your minimum practice keeps you connected
• How to tell which parts of your overwhelm are yours to act on and which belong in the hands of something greater
• What happens when you ask for a spirit advocate to help with something stuck in bureaucracy, like court papers sent to the wrong city or calls that never get returned

If you keep asking for one more sign, opinion or teaching before taking a step you already know is right, here’s what that waiting is really doing, and what it takes to move.

In this episode, Jonathan looks at the two ways the need for certainty tends to show up, the planning and the waiting, and at what we reach for while we’re standing on the platform, from another course to another hour of scrolling. He gets into where discernment ends and the kind of waiting that has no end begins, and what faith has to do with any of it.

He moves into the breadcrumb your soul tends to give you in place of a whole map, and what it might ask of you to take the next step, small or large, while the certainty you wanted still hasn’t arrived.

This one’s for you if you’ve got a decision you keep turning over, a plan you keep refining, or a yes you keep postponing until things feel clearer.

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 to tell the difference between wise discernment and waiting that has no end
• What planning and waiting have in common, and what both might be costing you
• What it takes to take the next step while certainty is still missing

Caroline Carey, soul cartographer, writer, and author of The Neurodivergent Soul, joins Lian to explore why neurodivergent people so often find themselves living between two worlds at once, what the ancient symbol of the mandorla reveals about that capacity, and why it may be less a burden to manage than a particular kind of gift.

Caroline Carey is a Soul Cartographer, workshop facilitator and writer who has spent over 30 years guiding people on journeys of self-discovery and personal transformation. Working mainly with women in the second half of life, she creates safe and creative spaces where story, movement, emotional intelligence, spirituality, and connection to nature come together.

Drawing on intuitive, mindfulness, creativity and shamanic traditions, as well as her own original maps and frameworks, Caroline supports people in reconnecting with their inner wisdom, understanding their life patterns, and uncovering a deeper sense of purpose. Her work explores where soul meets story, helping others navigate life's transitions with greater authenticity, self-compassion, and meaning. Caroline is an advocate for neurodivergent people, a mother and a grandmother; she lives in Hastings, East Sussex. Her latest book is called The Neurodivergent Soul published 2026.

In this episode, Lian and Caroline explore the mandorla, the ancient almond-shaped symbol formed where two opposing circles meet, as a map for something many neurodivergent people have always lived without a name for: the ability to see both sides, inhabit two worlds, and hold what others experience as contradiction without needing to collapse it into one.

The conversation moves into what neurodivergent perception actually is, the pattern recognition, the depth of feeling, the acute sensitivity that can make ordinary life so hard and spiritual life so natural, and why so many neurodivergent people end up on shamanic paths without quite knowing how they got there. They also look at the masculine and feminine as a particular set of opposites that many neurodivergent people find themselves holding, and what it might mean that the tension between those two keeps showing up.

Listen if you're neurodivergent and have always seemed to live in more than one world at once, or felt most at home in the space between things rather than on either side.

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 neurodivergent perception, particularly the depth of feeling and pattern recognition, may draw people toward shamanic and spiritual paths
• How the mandorla appears not just as a symbol but as a lived pattern, and how to begin recognising where it has already been present in your own story
• What happens when the experience of holding two worlds at once starts being something the soul is calling us toward

If you've ever picked up your phone, a show, a drink, or anything else to feel better, and ended up feeling worse, more drained, more restless, more alone, than before you reached for it, here's what's actually going on, and it has very little to do with a lack of willpower.

In this episode, Lian answers a question sent in by a viewer, Sarah, who wrote in describing hours lost to her phone, her other interests falling away, and feeling overstimulated and emptied out by it at the same time.

Lian goes into what "numbing" actually is, and what it's standing in for, looking at research on dopamine and reward, and at what happens inside the body when relief arrives with nothing to actually nourish the soul underneath it. She moves into why "numbing" and "nourishing" can look identical from the outside, which is exactly why relief like this never lasts, and what it actually takes to tell the two apart before the reach happens.

This one's for you if you've ever come back from a scroll, a show, or even a walk feeling emptier than when you started, rather than fuller.

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 willpower alone so rarely works against the reach for empty relief
• What's actually happening in the body when relief leaves your soul no more fed than before
• How to tell "numbing" and "nourishing" apart before you've already made the reach

Lian and psycho-spiritual researcher Bernhard Guenther explore how spiritual warfare plays out in each person's life, why purpose shifts over a lifetime, and how to tell a wounded inner part from an outside force.

Bernhard Guenther is a psycho-spiritual researcher, teacher, and guide whose work explores the deeper architecture of reality and the evolutionary challenges humanity faces during this Time of Transition.

Drawing on over two decades of study, practice, and inner work, he integrates esoteric wisdom, depth psychology, trauma healing, shadow integration, and a clear understanding of the spiritual and hyperdimensional forces that influence human consciousness.

He is the founder of Piercing the Veil of Reality and co-host of The Cosmic Matrix podcast with his wife, Laura Matsue Guenther. Through online courses, mentoring, articles, podcasts, and retreats, he helps sincere seekers cultivate discernment, embody their true nature, and align with their deeper purpose in a time of profound change.

In this episode, Lian and Bernhard return to spiritual warfare for a second conversation, this time bringing it home to the individual soul and what each person might be called to. Bernhard shares how he came to the US in his twenties certain he'd be a drummer, practising eight hours a day and visualising success, and how none of it worked out, until a roommate introduced him to bodywork and he found a healing gift in his hands.

They talk about dharma as something fluid, lived as fully by a plumber who loves his craft as by anyone teaching spirituality, and look at why people fixated on fighting outer darkness can leave their own shadow untended... mistaking an abandoned inner child for an entity attachment, or sliding into grandiosity once they identify with the warrior archetype.

Listen if you've wondered what your role is in the spiritual war, whether your purpose has to be something grand and overtly spiritual, or how to know if it's an entity or a part of you that’s creating thoughts and feelings.

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 pull to feel chosen, special, or already awake is one of the most dangerous traps on the spiritual path
• How to tell a wounded inner part from something that has come in from outside
• Why focusing on dark forces can draw them closer, but why ignoring them leaves you more exposed

If you've ever avoided a mirror or deleted a photo of yourself because you couldn't stand what you saw, here's what's really behind that, and it has almost nothing to do with how you look.

In this episode, Lian answers a question sent in by a viewer: "How do you love and live inside a body that doesn't look the way you want it to?"

Lian takes us back to a much older relationship with the body that most of us have lost entirely, one that sits outside both sides of where this conversation usually goes, body positivity on one end, looksmaxxing, GLP-1s and filters on the other.

She looks at what's really happening every time you catch your own reflection, the real reason that drop in your stomach shows up at all.

Lian moves into what it takes to find your way back to that older relationship, and why thinking your way there, or fixing your way there, rarely works.

This one's for you if you've ever wondered how to love a body that doesn't look the way you want it to.

Stephen Jenkinson, creator of the Orphan Wisdom School and grief literacy advocate, explains what it's like to turn a lifetime of teaching about death toward his own Parkinson's diagnosis, and what he's found there that has broken open, humbled, and moved him.

Stephen Jenkinson, MTS, MSW, has taught internationally and is the creator of the Orphan Wisdom School, co-founded with his wife Nathalie Roy in 2010. The School convened semi-annually in Ontario, and in the Gulf Islands, Canada and in Wales and Iceland.
He has Master’s degrees from Harvard University (Theology) and the University of Toronto (Social Work).

Apprenticed to a master storyteller when a young man, he worked extensively with dying people and their families, is former programme director in a major Canadian hospital, and former assistant professor in a prominent Canadian medical school.
He is also a sculptor and traditional canoe builder whose house won a Governor General’s Award for architecture.

Since co-founding the Nights of Grief and Mystery with singer/songwriter Gregory Hoskins in 2015, he has toured this musical/ tent show revival/ storytelling/ ceremony of a show across North America, U.K. and Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

He is the author of Trembling, Still: The Awful Clarity of a Mind in Eclipse (2026) and numerous other books (for a full list of his books & music see the show notes linked below).

Stephen Jenkinson is also the subject of the feature length documentary film Griefwalker (2008, dir. Tim Wilson), a portrait of his work with dying people. Lost Nation Road (2019, dir. Ian Mackenzie), and Murmurings of the Land (2025, dir. Mattias Olsson).

In this episode, Lian and Stephen talk about what it's like to have spent decades helping other people meet their dying, and then have to meet your own diagnosis. That question runs under everything they cover, from the childhood illness he now recognises as an early imprint, to the raku cup he broke and had mended with gold (Photo in show notes, link below).

They get into the word anesthetic, and how splitting it open changed how he understood addiction and beauty both, why he pushes back on the word joy, and what it means to recognise an ending while you're still inside it, rather than only afterwards, once it's already gone.

Listen if dying feels like something that will just happen to you one day, and perhaps something you'd rather not think or talk about, than something you're consciously living into.

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:

• What a man who spent years teaching about loss, learned from taking out his most beautiful possession locked away, untouched, for a decade
• Why gratitude isn't the reward for hard times passing, it's what can arise when you refuse to forget they happened at all
• Why knowing your own death is inevitable does almost nothing, and what it takes to stay inside that knowledge day to day

If you've ever wondered why your soul can feel so hard to hear, even when you're trying everything you know, here's what Jonathan says is really in the way, and three ways through it.

In this video, Jonathan goes into why so many of us end up guided by something other than our own soul, the false self, old wounds, the conditioning of a fast, noisy modern world, and what that costs us over a lifetime. He looks at why the soul so rarely shouts to be heard, and why most people go their whole life mistaking its whisper for silence.

He moves through the three primordial strands of the Wild Sovereign Soul path, wildness, sovereignty, and soul, and offers one simple, aligned action from each, small enough to start today, real enough to shift how clearly you can hear yourself.

Watch if you sense there's something important underneath the busyness of your life that you haven't had the space to properly hear.

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 video:

• The one thing that closes the channel to your soul faster than anything else

• The real reason so many of us end up guided by everything except our own soul

• What it takes to hear your soul, which has never once stopped speaking

Lian and NDE survivor Landon Dennis explore what his near death experience showed him that changed the course of his life, and what he learned about the power of prayer in particular: that it can arrive as literal beams of light, strong enough to drive away the dark presences he'd experienced since childhood.

Landon lives in St. George, Utah, works as a peer support specialist, and has spent recent years sharing his near death experience across podcasts and his own YouTube channel.

In this episode, Lian and Landon focus on what his NDE revealed about the power of prayer, from the beams of light he saw driving dark shapes away from him, to the moment he questioned two beings about whether prayer meant anything at all and was shown proof rather than given an answer. Along the way he describes arriving in a field of grass that seemed to glow with its own kind of love, and meeting his grandfather and niece as lights who still gave him the full weight of a hug and the words he needed to hear.

The conversation returns to a night behind a dumpster that his NDE later showed him differently: the dark shapes he'd felt around him that night, and what they turned out to be once prayer arrived as light and drove them off.

Listen if you've ever prayed and doubted it was doing anything, kept praying for someone who seems unreachable, or wondered what happens to the people you've lost.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• What happened when Landon questioned the power of prayer out loud during his NDE, and was shown proof rather than given an answer
• Why the years of prayers his family said for him, never knowing if they were making any difference, turned out to have been answered and stored away long before he needed them most
• Why the emotional flood he felt watching paramedics work on his own body, so intense he says he felt like he was going to explode, turned out to be something other than fear of death

If you’ve ever turned down a job, an opportunity, or a date you truly wanted, here’s what’s really driving that “no”, and what it takes to trust yourself with a “yes” again.

In this video, Lian looks at why rejection can feel far more dangerous to some people than others, especially in ADHD and autistic minds, where this is often described as “rejection sensitive dysphoria”. She looks at the biological piece, differences in how the brain regulates emotion and filters threat, the genetic thread that runs alongside ADHD and autism, and the lived history of being misunderstood or criticised that can train a nervous system to expect rejection even when nothing dangerous is actually happening.

She moves into what that fear costs over time, the jobs untaken, the people never asked, years spent grieving what could have been, and what it actually takes to build real evidence in the body that rejection is survivable, one small “yes” at a time.

Watch if you’ve ever talked yourself out of a job, a date, or an opportunity, right before anyone else could turn you down first.

Wild Sovereign Soul co-founder and soul guide, Lian Brook-Tyler, has spent over a decade studying beauty as a soul path rather than a surface concern... she explains why beauty deserves the same conscious attention we already give relationships and money, and what can happen once we stop pretending it doesn't already command our attention.

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, could be literally anything - explored through the lenses of science, spirituality and story - hence the name of the show!

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 LIVE making of All The Everything is recorded live on YouTube… to join Lian for the next 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 beauty not as something skin deep, but as a spiritual practice, tracing it from the evolutionary science of adornment through myth, history and her own teenage attempt to reconstruct herself in the image of Marilyn Monroe. She looks at the handicap principle behind why humans adorn themselves at all, research showing how self-surveillance breeds body shame, and what myths can show us.

She brings in the Jungian analyst James Hollis on making our projections conscious, the psychologist James Hillman's case that recovering our sense of beauty is how we recover our lost soul, and her own Beauty Archetype work exploring the Lover and the shadows of chasing beauty and abandoning it. She closes by mapping Venus, the Ascendant and Chiron in the birth chart, asking what your own placements might reveal about your particular path with beauty.

Listen if you either chase beauty for approval or dismiss it, and are wondering if there could be something deeper beyond both.

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 same evolutionary instinct behind a forty thousand year old deer tooth necklace may be the same one now, but distorted, driving those anxious checks in the mirror
• How the myth of Psyche and Aphrodite shows that even the soul and Goddesses aren’t exempt from beauty's pull or the envy of it
• What happens when beauty is offered as a conscious devotion rather than performed for approval or discarded out of caution

If you keep saying "yes" when your whole body is screaming "no", here's what's actually driving that, and what it takes to change it.

In this episode, Lian Brook-Tyler, goes back to where the "good girl" first learned her trade, the moments in childhood, somewhere around four, five, six years old, when a small child worked out that a "yes" could keep the peace, keep the love coming, keep a parent or teacher from turning cold.

Lian looks at why that pattern stops feeling like a strategy and starts feeling like personality, and why the body carries it long after the mind knows the danger has passed.

Lian moves into why logic never wins the argument with her, why forcing, reasoning, or shaming that part rarely works, and what it actually takes, a slow build of inner authority, someone steadier for her to finally hand the reins to, and what it looks like to speak a "no" when that's the truer answer.

Listen if you've ever felt a real "no" rising in you, in a meeting, in a relationship, at the dinner table, and felt your throat tighten or your words soften before they leave your mouth.

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 "good girl" was built to keep you safe rather than obedient, and why that distinction matters

• How the body keeps running old calculations long after the literal danger has passed

• What it actually takes to become someone she trusts enough to hand the reins to, and how that lets a true "no" get spoken

Fermentation expert and author Kirsten K. Shockey joins Lian to explore what we lose when we stop fermenting our own food, why choosing inconvenience is becoming a countercultural act, and what microbes might be running more of the show than we think

Kirsten K. Shockey is a mother and grandmother who loves to plant trees and rescue beavers. When she isn’t playing or helping people to make, enjoy and connect with their food she can be found writing about life and fermentation at fermentingchange.substack from her home in the mountains of southern Oregon.

Kirsten is the author of award-winning Homebrewed Vinegar, coauthor, with her husband, Christopher Shockey, of award-winning The Big Book of Cidermaking; award-winning Miso, Tempeh, Natto & Other Tasty Ferments; Fiery Ferments; and the best-selling Fermented Vegetables and Fermented Vegetables second edition.

She is co-founder of The Fermentation School a women-owned and women-led benefits corporation supporting the voices of independent educators to empower learning and build culture where you can find her online courses.

In this episode, Lian and Kirsten look at ‘friction maxing’, and why so many people are finding themselves drawn back to slower, harder, more hands-on ways of doing things, and what fermentation has to do with it. They talk about what it means to choose inconvenience, how the microbes we co-evolved with for millions of years are still shaping our cravings, our gut, our moods, and possibly even more, and what gets lost when we hand all of that over to a factory and call it progress.

The conversation moves into the fear that stops most people before they even start, the grief of skills that stopped being passed down, and what Kirsten has noticed about what happens to people once they have something alive and bubbling on their counter, how quickly it stops feeling like a hobby and starts feeling like something precious that they didn't know they were missing in their lives.

Listen if you keep finding yourself drawn to slower, older, more hands-on ways of doing things and you're not sure how to make that happen in your busy life, or if you already ferment and have noticed it feels like more than just a hobby, and are wondering what that could mean.

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 question fermentation folk keep coming back to is: who domesticated whom, us or the microbes?

• How friction maxing can show up as inner or outer inconvenience and discomfort

• What a single jar of something bubbling on a kitchen counter might be doing for a person's relationship with the living world

There's a fresh episode released each week here and on most podcast platforms - and video too on YouTube. If you subscribe then you'll get each new episode delivered to your device every week automagically. (that way you'll never miss a show).

Lian is joined by Jason Grechanik, a master tabaquero with nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and over a thousand people guided through plant ceremony, to explore what it looks like to do a plant dieta with the trees of Celtic and Northern European tradition, why these trees are subtler to work with than Amazonian plants, and what people have healed through that extended relationship.

Jason Grechanik trained in the Mamankunawa tradition under curandero Don Ernesto Garcia Torres. He spent many years working at the renowned Shipibo healing center Temple of the Way of Light in Peru. He is the host of The Universe Within Podcast (180+ episodes, 20,000+ monthly listeners) and co-founder of the Nicotiana Rustica Project, a living practice that bridges Amazonian sacred tobacco traditions with Celtic tree wisdom. His background spans Ashtanga yoga, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and herbalism.

In this episode, Lian and Jason explore what a Celtic tree dieta looks like in practice, from the diagnosis and the period of isolation, to the role of tobacco as amplifier, to the moment towards the end when the dieter finally learns the name of the tree they have been working with.

They look at why these trees are subtle to receive, what opens a person enough to hear them, and how the physical medicine of a tree and its emotional and spiritual medicine turn out to be expressions of the same thing. Jason walks through the willow in some depth, its connection to grief, to water, to the lungs, to the underworld, and to what can begin to shift in a person when they spend extended time in relationship with it.

From there the conversation opens into what people have healed through this work, from Lyme disease and ovarian cysts to heartbreak and stagnation, and into Jason's sense of what these trees are ultimately offering, which is perhaps a felt sense of being at home in oneself, the way an oak or a willow simply is.

Listen if you've always felt drawn to a particular tree and wondered whether that pull means something, or if you've done plant medicine work before and found yourself curious about what's available closer to home.

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 Celtic trees are worked with through the medium of tobacco, and what that amplification makes possible that the tree alone might not

• How the physical properties of a tree, what it grows near, how it moves, what it heals in the body, are a map of its emotional and spiritual medicine

• What happens in a dieta when the guide doesn't tell the dieter the name of the tree until the very end, and why that changes what gets received

Lian and psycho-spiritual researcher Bernhard Guenther explore spiritual warfare, what unseen forces actually are, how they operate through human consciousness, why most people have no map for recognising them, and what it takes to begin developing one.

Bernhard Guenther is a psycho-spiritual researcher, teacher, and guide whose work explores the deeper architecture of reality and the evolutionary challenges humanity faces during this Time of Transition.

Drawing on over two decades of study, practice, and inner work, he integrates esoteric wisdom, depth psychology, trauma healing, shadow integration, and a clear understanding of the spiritual and hyperdimensional forces that influence human consciousness.

He is the founder of Piercing the Veil of Reality and co-host of The Cosmic Matrix podcast with his wife, Laura Matsue Guenther. Through online courses, mentoring, articles, podcasts, and retreats, he helps sincere seekers cultivate discernment, embody their true nature, and align with their deeper purpose in a time of profound change.

In this episode, Lian and Bernhard explore spiritual warfare, what Bernhard calls the hyperdimensional matrix, the unseen forces and beings that influence human thought, desire, and perception, often without our awareness or consent. Drawing on Rudolf Steiner (Austrian esotericist and founder of Anthroposophy, a tradition of spiritual science), Sri Aurobindo (Indian sage and philosopher of Integral Yoga), and over two decades of direct experience, Bernhard maps the planes of creation through which these forces operate, how they target seekers specifically, and why expanding consciousness brings more contact with them rather than less.

The conversation moves into how spiritual warfare most commonly operates, not through dramatic possession but through subtle appeal to ego, blind spots, and the desire to feel special or already awake, how these forces can masquerade as divine guidance, and why the capacity to differentiate between what is yours and what isn't is more important than discernment alone.

Listen if you've ever gone down a rabbit hole of conspiracy or spiritual content and come out feeling more paranoid and less yourself, or if you keep getting derailed by thoughts and patterns you can't quite claim as your own.

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 these forces target seekers more than people who aren't doing any inner work, and what that contact tends to look like
• How to tell the difference between a wounded inner part that needs integrating and something that has genuinely come in from outside
• What Bernhard means by inner differentiation, and why it goes further than discernment alone

Lian and Jason Grechanik, a master tabaquero with nearly a decade of Amazonian immersion and over a thousand people guided through plant ceremony, explore what a plant dieta actually is, why the Shipibo healers he trained with said the dieta is what heals, and what happens in the body, mind, and dream space when someone enters that extended relationship with a single plant.

Jason Grechanik trained in the Mamankunawa tradition under curandero Don Ernesto Garcia Torres. He spent many years working at the renowned Shipibo healing center Temple of the Way of Light in Peru. He is the host of The Universe Within Podcast (180+ episodes, 20,000+ monthly listeners) and co-founder of the Nicotiana Rustica Project, a living practice that bridges Amazonian sacred tobacco traditions with Celtic tree wisdom. His background spans Ashtanga yoga, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and herbalism.

In this episode, Lian and Jason explore what a plant dieta actually is and what it does, how weeks or months of isolation, fasting, silence, and direct relationship with a single plant can take us to places that a single ceremony cannot reach, and why the Shipibo healers Jason trained with were so insistent that without the dieta, the plant never really heals.

They look at how Jason came to the Amazon through a spiritual crisis in New York, physically healthy by every measure and yet feeling, as he describes it, like he was dying, and what that particular kind of suffering could be pointing toward.

From there the conversation moves into how the plants teach, not through instruction or commandment but through potentiality, through dream and experience and showing rather than telling, and into the Tubu prophecy Jason carries from his teacher, the time of the Children of the New Dawn, and what it says about why humans have always suffered and what the plants have offered in response.

Listen if you've spent years working with plant medicine and still feel like you're circling the outside of something or if you sense that the medicine traditions of your own land are calling you but you don't know how to find them.

Caroline Carey, soul cartographer, writer and author of The Neurodivergent Soul, joins Lian to explore what a late diagnosis actually gives you when you've already spent decades mapping your own soul, how neurodivergent wiring shapes a life's calling, and what it means to apprentice to your own story rather than to any framework imposed from outside.

Drawing on intuitive, mindfulness, creativity and shamanic traditions, as well as her own original maps and frameworks, Caroline supports people in reconnecting with their inner wisdom, understanding their life patterns, and uncovering a deeper sense of purpose. Her work explores where soul meets story, helping others navigate life's transitions with greater authenticity, self-compassion, and meaning. Caroline is an advocate for neurodivergent people, a mother and a grandmother; she lives in Hastings, East Sussex. Her latest book is called The Neurodivergent Soul published 2026.

Caroline Carey has spent over thirty years guiding people, mostly women in the second half of life, through journeys of self-discovery using story, movement, shamanic tradition, and her own original frameworks. Her latest book is The Neurodivergent Soul, published in 2026.

In this episode, Lian and Caroline begin in childhood, with a nun who told a young Caroline that animals don't have souls, a conviction she spent the next six decades disproving, and a mare dying in an Irish field whose energy passed through her so powerfully it nearly knocked her over. These early moments seeded everything: the soul cartography, the archetypal maps, the three decades of tracking the patterns a life leaves behind. From there the conversation moves into what it actually means to discover you're autistic in your sixties, after the work is already built, the path already walked. Caroline describes her diagnosis as confirmation rather than revelation, something that made sense of a lifetime of sensory needs, particular ways of moving through the world, and a quality of perception she'd always known was different, without fundamentally changing who she already knew herself to be.

What unfolds from there is a conversation both Lian and Caroline are inside as much as observing: two neurodivergent women who found their way to soul work through that very wiring, exploring what the autistic mind perceives that others don't, why neurodivergent people so often end up on shamanic and spiritual paths, and whether the diagnosis deepens the soul work or whether the soul work was already doing that long before it had a name. They also get into masking, not as damage but as a creative act, what it was protecting, what it taught, and what it might be telling you about the situations you were masking for rather than the mask itself.

Listen if you're neurodivergent and have ever sensed or wondered whether the way your mind works and the work your soul is here to do are connected.

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 Caroline is glad she wasn't diagnosed until her sixties, and what she thinks an earlier label might have foreclosed

• How the soul map works in practice, what it's tracking, and where the patterns tend to show up first

• What happens when you stop treating the mask as a problem and start asking what it was protecting, and what it was teaching you the whole time

Wild Sovereign Soul co-founder and soul guide, Lian Brook-Tyler, explores the myth of Chiron the wounded healer in full, from conception to stars, reframing it as an awakening arc rather than a healing one, and examining what we miss when we stop the story too soon.

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, could be literally anything - explored through the lenses of science, spirituality and story - hence the name of the show!

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 LIVE making of All The Everything is recorded live on YouTube… to join Lian for the next 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 returns to Chiron, the wounded healer, not to retread familiar ground but to follow the myth all the way to its end, the cave, the exchange with Prometheus, the death, the stars, the parts that almost never get told. She traces the full arc from Chiron's conception through his years of genuine mastery and medicine, into the collapse that the second wound brings, and through to what von Franz calls the hopeless conflict, the precise moment the ego runs out of road and something else becomes possible.

She draws on the work of Ken Wilber, whose pre/trans fallacy names something she has lived personally, the difference between a genuine spiritual opening and the long harder work of becoming somebody before you can genuinely become nobody, and why so much of contemporary spirituality mistakes one for the other.

Listen if you have done years of real inner work and quietly wonder whether the identity you have built around your healing has itself become the thing you are now living around rather than through.

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 wound becoming medicine is genuinely true and also only the middle of the story, and what the myth of Chiron reveals about the arc that follows it
• How Ken Wilber's pre/trans fallacy names the difference between a real spiritual opening and the work of becoming that no awakening experience can replace
• What happens when the ego finally runs out of road, and why von Franz and the data from Hardy's 6,000 accounts both point to the same uncomfortable portal

Lian and hunter and landscape architect, Christie Green, explore what sixteen years of hunting has taught Christie about body time, how women's bodies carry a different relationship to time and rhythm than ‘clock culture’ allows, and what gets restored when a woman stops measuring herself by external standards.

Christie Green is the author of MOONIGHT ELK: One Woman’s Hunt for Food and Freedom published by The University of New Mexico Press (UNMP) in 2024. Her forthcoming book, SALMON DREAMING: Coming Home to Alaska will be released by UNMP in 2026 and her third, THE NEW MERIDIAN: Undamming the West will be released by UNMP in 2028.

Christie Green resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Kenai, Alaska. Ms. Green’s platform as a land & water steward, landscape architect, local food activist, educator and hunter attracts passionate audiences. She represents a fundamental missing bridge between polarized audiences and cultural extremes.

For Christies full bio see the show notes https://www.wildsovereignsoul.com/podcast/552.

In this episode, Lian and Christie explore what Christie calls body time, the way the animals she hunts have gradually rewired her relationship to rhythm, to her own flesh, and to what she actually trusts as real. Over sixteen years of hunting across New Mexico and Alaska, Christie has found herself orienting less and less by the clock and more by tide, moon, darkness, and what her body is asking for. The conversation moves through what that shift has cost, what it has returned, and the specific way the bodies of animals, elk, deer, turkey, salmon, have taught her things about her own body that nothing else reached.

From there they look at what modern women have lost and what Christie has glimpsed on the other side of that loss, how the same culture that packages meat in sterile plastic also asks women to manage, minimise, and tidy themselves, and what becomes possible when a woman stops agreeing to that, even in small ways, a particular fabric against her skin, dreamy silk under work clothes, a candle at the end of the day.

Listen if you've ever looked at the clock to decide whether you're hungry, or realised you've been running on someone else's rhythm for so long you're not sure you know what your own feels like.

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.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• Why animal time and body time are the same thing, and what it takes for a woman to begin living there rather than just visiting
• How reaching inside the body of an elk changed Christie's relationship to her own body more than anything culture had offered her
• What happens when a woman stops treating clock time as the most real thing, and what she finds underneath it instead

Lian and Three Principles teacher Dicken Bettinger explore how Sydney Banks' original message was rooted in the spiritual dimension of the mind, why that dimension kept getting lost in translation, and what it means to find peace by looking within rather than thinking your way there.

Dicken Bettinger, Ed.D., received his doctorate in counseling psychology and has worked during his career as a licensed clinical psychologist. Dicken’s entire career has focused on psychological well-being. In 1986 he met Sydney Banks, who shared a profound new understanding of the human mind called the Three Principles that unifies our connection to a deeper intelligence called wisdom and our psychological nature. For his full bio see the show notes linked below.

In this episode, Lian and Dicken return for a second conversation, this time looking honestly at what happened to the Three Principles teaching as it spread, why the spiritual dimension of Syd Banks' message kept getting reduced to cognitive psychology, and what gets lost when a living teaching hardens into catchphrases and community rules.

Dicken shares how Syd himself understood the Three Principles not as good ideas to live by but as the most fundamental qualities of infinite life energy, the intelligence, consciousness, and creative potential from which everything arises, and how that understanding was always meant to unify the psychological and the spiritual rather than replace one with the other.

Dicken explains what he noticed happening across the community over forty years, why the "do nothing" instruction became its own kind of command, how Lian's sense that individual soul was rarely spoken about connects to something Syd said consistently, and what shifts when someone stops thinking harder and starts listening for what comes through when the thinking settles

Listen if you have ever drifted away from a teaching or community that once meant a great deal to you and found yourself wondering whether it was the teaching itself, or just what it became reduced to.
