The Wild Sovereign Soul Show: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Lian Brook-Tyler & Jonathan Wilkinson: Wild Sovereign Soul
It's challenging to live in this crazy modern world, The Wild Sovereign Soul Show is what we know will help. The show is a top 1.5% globally ranked podcast, that's been evolving since 2014, with over 500 episodes and counting - prepare to be inspired, guided, and activated by deep, soul-stirring explorations. Wild Sovereign Soul helps soul seekers find their way home in this crazy modern world, released from the cycles of overwhelm, loneliness, and endless self-improvement, to remember who they truly are, finally set free to live a life of deep meaning, embodied ease, and love. Our people are the divergent ones (neurodivergent or otherwise), in short, those who are unwilling or unable to conform to the status quo. You will know yourself to be a divergent one if you've thought things like: "This can't be all there is…" "There has to be another way…" "I can't be the only person who is seeing what I see…" Divergent ones are "the others" as Timothy Leary so evocatively described people like us. The heart of the show is simple… It's for those of us who feel something essential is being lost over time: the relationship with the body and land, inner authority and agency, and a sense of being guided from within rather than shaped by cultural conditioning, external pressure, and fear. And so these conversations, explorations, and transmissions are here to guide you to reclaim your wildness, actualise your sovereignty, and awaken your soul. Each month, our co-founders Lian and Jonathan sit down to speak into the themes of the modern world as they are actually living them, sharing what they're noticing in their own lives and work with clients and students, alongside questions from the team and listeners. Once a month, Lian hosts a live solo episode, The All The Everything Show, which flows more like a workshop or master class than a broadcast, going deep on a single theme through science, spirituality, and story, with space for real-time engagement and reflection. Alongside this, the show welcomes carefully chosen guests, including remarkable thinkers, wisdom keepers, visionaries, and healers, whose work aligns with the Wild Sovereign Soul path and brings additional perspective and depth. Since 2014, we have amassed a rich cornucopia of hundreds of episodes weaving ancient ways into modern days, drawing from animism and shamanism, embodiment, rewilding, mythopoetic and archetypal work, shadow work, astrology, non-dual spirituality, plant medicine, and more, always grounded in lived experience. Together, these conversations offer grounded insight, orientation and inspiration for being wild, sovereign, and soul-led in a culture that often pulls us away from what truly matters. Each episode is also an invitation to go deeper in UNIO, the living home of the Wild Sovereign Soul path, where this work is practised together in community. Listen now, and join your kin for the conversation your soul has been longing for. With our love and blessings, Lian & Jonathan

How to uncover the hidden truth of your inner wounded healer - Lian Brook-Tyler
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. #chiron #healing #woundedhealer #medicine #wound #kenwilber #spiritual 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 Resources and stuff Lian spoke about: Make sure you’re subscribed to our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@WildSovereignSoul, subscribed to our Moonly News email list and/or are a member of our Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/bemythicalcommunity and we’ll let you know when the next one is happening.

How women lost body time (and the remarkable way to reclaim it) - Christie Green
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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Visit Christie’s website https://www.christiegreen.net/.

What happened to the spiritual depth of the Three Principles? - Dicken Bettinger
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.

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 reducing "thought creates feeling" to a psychological principle misses everything Syd Banks was actually pointing toward How the "do nothing" teaching became a command, and what Syd really meant by looking in the right direction What happens when someone stops trying to think their way to peace and begins to trust the knowing that lives beneath the thinking Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Visit Dicken’s website.

How to find the peace your mind keeps searching past - Dicken Bettinger
Lian and Three Principles teacher Dicken Bettinger explore what mystics across every tradition have pointed toward for centuries, why the mind's natural state is already meditative, and how psychological suffering comes down to one root cause. 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. In 2012 Dicken founded his private practice, 3 Principles Mentoring. He offers individual on-line mentoring, practitioner development, and advanced training programs. Dicken is the co-author of a book on the Three Principles called Coming Home: Uncovering the Foundations of Psychological Well-being and a forthcomig book, Life Can Be Easier Than You Think. For his full bio please see the shownotes linked below. In this episode, Lian and Dicken trace a thread that runs through Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and the work of Sydney Banks: that beneath the noise of a busy mind, there is a silence that has never left, and that every mystical tradition has been pointing toward the same thing, just using different language. Dicken shares how he spent years meditating four hours a day, recording dreams by flashlight, filling journals with techniques, before discovering that the meditative state he was working so hard to reach was already his natural condition, and everyone else's too. They look at what the mystics actually meant by "ecstatic," and how three piles of handwritten notes from teachers across every tradition began to self-organise into the same three movements: emptying, filling, and giving it away. From there the conversation opens into what Dicken calls the one problem of human psychological suffering, what it actually means to fall out of your head into the present moment, and why wisdom has always been understood as something that comes through us rather than from us. Listen if you find yourself thinking hard about how you feel, trying to work out what's wrong, and somehow feeling worse the more you think about it.

What you’ll learn from this episode: ✨Why every mystical tradition, across centuries and cultures, organised itself around the same three movements, and what those movements really describe ✨How the word "ecstatic" has nothing to do with euphoria, and what its original meaning reveals about awakening ✨What happens when someone who has spent years working intensively on themselves discovers that the state they were seeking requires no technique at all Resources and stuff that we spoke about: ▪️Visit Dicken’s website https://www.3principlesmentoring.com ▪️Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Soulshttps://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.

The hidden limits of pattern-based personal growth - James Tripp
Lian and hypnotherapist and changework facilitator James Tripp on where pattern-based change meets its ceiling, what Jungian individuation and NLP have to say to each other, and why the most resistant clients may be the ones most in need of a reconnection to soul. James Tripp is an internationally recognised authority in the fields of self development, personal mastery and generative changework. Coming from a diverse background including philosophy, music, martial arts, movement culture and NLP, James is also the developer of the Hypnosis Without Trance approach to hypnotic facilitation as well as author of the critically acclaimed book of the same title. In his one-to-one work, James works with individuals looking to become better adapted in consistently creating outcomes they value and living lives they love. Since turning professional in 2007 his clients have included artists, filmmakers, entrepreneurs and business creators, c-suite executives, actors and performers, frontline services operatives, medical doctors, writers, special forces operatives and military veterans. In this episode, Lian and James begin with "doomer optimism," a genuine belief that radical change is not only inevitable but potentially the very thing that makes us more alive and more human. They look at what it costs people to build a life around patterns that are functional in the world but out of resonance with who they truly are, and why that gap, which might show up as numbness, burnout, or a vague sense that something's missing, tends to compound under pressure. From there the conversation moves into territory that doesn’t always make it into change-work: soul, and what it takes to bring that word into a room full of police officers without losing them, and why, in James’ experience, even the most practical people tend to respond when someone gives them permission to look in that direction. There's something here about nourishment rather than healing, about arcs of becoming rather than things to fix, and about where ancient ways of knowing, shamanism, Taoism, the Kabbalah, still carry genuine usefulness in a world that has largely forgotten them. Listen if you've been doing this work, in yourself or with others, long enough to sense that changing our patterns is only part of the story. 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 changing patterns can take you a long way but still leave you feeling like the nut has been removed from the shell - How soul connection shows up differently depending on the room you're in, and why James rarely uses that language the same way twice - What Jung's private admission near the end of his life, that he had failed at his principal task, reveals about how long it takes for a seed to become a fruit tree Resources and stuff that we spoke about: - Visit James’s website (https://www.jamestripp.co.uk/). - James’s Linktree (https://linktr.ee/jamestripp) - 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.

How one elk hunt revealed the genuine self - Christie Green
Lian and local food activist and hunter, Christie Green, describes how 16 years of solo hunting in New Mexico and Alaska changed her relationship to food, death, her own animal body, and what it means to live in right relationship with the land. Christie is the author of MOONIGHT ELK: One Woman’s Hunt for Food and Freedom published by The University of New Mexico Press (UNMP)2024. Her forthcoming book, SALMON DREAMING: Coming Home to Alaska will be released by UNMP in 2026 and her third book, THE NEW MERIDIAN: Undamming the West will be released by UNMP in 2028. Residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Kenai, Alaska, and is a land and water steward, landscape architect, local food activist, educator and hunter. With an educational background in US History from UC Berkeley and a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of New Mexico, Green found and fashioned a profession that reflected her personal background and passion: connecting people and place. Food has since been the conduit for communion in Green’s work. For Christies full bio see the show notes https://www.wildsovereignsoul.com/podcast/548. In this episode, Lian and Christie explore what happened the first time Christie chose to take a life in the field, how that moment cracked something open that decades of growing food, farming, and working the land hadn't quite reached, and how hunting alone became the condition under which she could finally hear herself. They move through the tension of paradox that lives inside the act of killing something you love and revere, how the architecture of an elk's body her own bodily self-criticism, and what it has meant to carry the moon's rhythm rather than the clock's into her time on the land. The conversation touches on what the animals have taught Christie, and on how she has come to understand hunting not as something she does but as something that is still changing who she is. Listen if you find yourself eating food you had little part in, and something about that arrangement has started to feel misaligned for 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 learn from this episode: Why the moment of choosing to take a life bore more resemblance to giving birth than to anything Christie had anticipated, and what that told her about the body's intelligence How working inside the bodies of animals shifted something in Christie's relationship to her own flesh, its beauty, its genius, its refusal to be tidy What the moon, the dream life, and hunting alone have in common for Christie, and why surrendering to that rhythm has felt, over time, more true than pushing through ever did Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit Christie’s website https://www.christiegreen.net/.

How facing death unlocks the profound secrets of really living - Lian Brook-Tyler
Wild Sovereign Soul co-founder and soul guide, Lian Brook-Tyler, explains what death has always been trying to teach us about the art of really living, drawing on three of her own encounters with death, including fifteen years of chronic pain and panic attacks, that ultimately changed everything. 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! In this episode, Lian shares the story of her own three encounters with death, a violent attack in her youth that left her braced against life for fifteen years, the sudden and complicated death of her father, and a shamanic burial initiation. She weaves through the science of near-death experiences, including findings from Dr. Pim van Lommel's eight-year longitudinal study and Raymond Moody's landmark research, which found that across cultures, ages, and belief systems, only two things consistently emerged as what truly mattered. She also looks honestly at what modern culture has done by removing death from daily life, how a death-denying world dismantles genuine choice, and why sovereign living may not be possible until we stop trying to pretend we have more time than we do. She closes with a simple daily practice, a few minutes each morning to ask what this day would mean if it were the last ordinary one. Listen if you find yourself putting something important off until conditions feel more right, or if you know what your life is calling for but keep finding reasons not to move toward it yet. 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 life review described consistently across near-death experience research points to only two things as mattering, and what that means for the choices available to you today How a culture that removes death from daily life creates a sovereignty wound, and the way genuine self-directed choice depends on facing what we most want to avoid What happens when you spend a night buried in the earth, facing the prospect of death, and the quality of aliveness that becomes available on the other side of it Resources and stuff Lian spoke about: Make sure you’re subscribed to our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@WildSovereignSoul), subscribed to our Moonly News email list (/moonly) and/or are a member of our Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/bemythicalcommunity) and we’ll let you know when the next one is happening.

The hidden secrets of men's desire and sexuality - Ian MacKenzie
Mythosomatic guide and filmmaker Ian MacKenzie names what men most long for sexually but rarely say aloud, why Eros is far larger than sex, and what a mature male erotic life truly looks and feels like. In this week’s show Lian is joined once again by Ian MacKenzie. Ian is a mythosomatic guide & filmmaker, as well as the founder of The Mythic Masculine, a platform dedicated to realigning masculinity with thriving life. For over 15 years, he has been tracking the global emergence of imaginal culture. From the desert of Burning Man to the heart of Occupy Wall St, he has sought and amplified the voices of visionaries, artists and activists who have been working toward planetary system change. He is the co-director of The Village of Lovers as well as Lost Nation Road, Amplify Her, and Sacred Economics. In this episode, Lian and Ian start with Eros itself, not as a synonym for sex but as the life force that moves through creativity, land, encounter, and expression of any kind, and what it means when a man's only access to that energy runs through a single narrow channel. They look at what the manosphere is really responding to beneath the bravado, and why so much of what looks like sexual compulsion is closer to nervous system dysregulation seeking an outlet. Ian also shares his own story, the marriage that eventually fell apart when they started exploring beyond it, the years in polyamory that followed, what he learned and what he got wrong, and where he's landed now. And then there's something he describes that happens in circle with men, when instead of the usual locker room storytelling they're asked to share a meaningful erotic experience, something that truly mattered to them, and what comes out of men when that door opens, the tenderness, the vulnerability, the stories that are nothing like what you'd expect, which, as Ian says, would probably surprise a lot of women. Listen if you're a man who's never quite had the conversation you actually wanted to have about this, or a woman who suspects there's far more going on beneath the surface than most men let on.

About The Wild Sovereign Soul Show
It's challenging to live in this crazy modern world, The Wild Sovereign Soul Show is what we know will help. The show is a top 1.5% globally ranked podcast, that's been evolving since 2014, with over 500 episodes and counting - prepare to be inspired, guided, and activated by deep, soul-stirring explorations. Wild Sovereign Soul helps soul seekers find their way home in this crazy modern world, released from the cycles of overwhelm, loneliness, and endless self-improvement, to remember who they truly are, finally set free to live a life of deep meaning, embodied ease, and love. Our people are the divergent ones (neurodivergent or otherwise), in short, those who are unwilling or unable to conform to the status quo. You will know yourself to be a divergent one if you've thought things like: "This can't be all there is…" "There has to be another way…" "I can't be the only person who is seeing what I see…" Divergent ones are "the others" as Timothy Leary so evocatively described people like us. The heart of the show is simple… It's for those of us who feel something essential is being lost over time: the relationship with the body and land, inner authority and agency, and a sense of being guided from within rather than shaped by cultural conditioning, external pressure, and fear. And so these conversations, explorations, and transmissions are here to guide you to reclaim your wildness, actualise your sovereignty, and awaken your soul. Each month, our co-founders Lian and Jonathan sit down to speak into the themes of the modern world as they are actually living them, sharing what they're noticing in their own lives and work with clients and students, alongside questions from the team and listeners. Once a month, Lian hosts a live solo episode, The All The Everything Show, which flows more like a workshop or master class than a broadcast, going deep on a single theme through science, spirituality, and story, with space for real-time engagement and reflection. Alongside this, the show welcomes carefully chosen guests, including remarkable thinkers, wisdom keepers, visionaries, and healers, whose work aligns with the Wild Sovereign Soul path and brings additional perspective and depth. Since 2014, we have amassed a rich cornucopia of hundreds of episodes weaving ancient ways into modern days, drawing from animism and shamanism, embodiment, rewilding, mythopoetic and archetypal work, shadow work, astrology, non-dual spirituality, plant medicine, and more, always grounded in lived experience. Together, these conversations offer grounded insight, orientation and inspiration for being wild, sovereign, and soul-led in a culture that often pulls us away from what truly matters. Each episode is also an invitation to go deeper in UNIO, the living home of the Wild Sovereign Soul path, where this work is practised together in community. Listen now, and join your kin for the conversation your soul has been longing for. With our love and blessings, Lian & Jonathan
