Spiritual Warfare: What Makes You More Vulnerable To Malevolent Forces - Bernhard Guenther
09-07-2026 | 53 Min.
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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Visit Bernhard’s website https://veilofreality.com/ Mastering spiritual warfare https://www.masteringspiritualwarfare.com/ 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.

The Truth About Sacred Plant Dietas And How They Heal - Jason Grechanik
01-07-2026 | 56 Min.
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.

The Remarkable Connection Between The Neurodivergent Mind And Soul Purpose - Caroline Carey
24-06-2026 | 1 u. 1 Min.
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 Resources and stuff that we spoke about: Visit Caroline’s website https://middleearthmedicine.com/ Caroline’s books & Oracle cards https://middleearthmedicine.com/carolines-books/ Caroline’s Facebook https://www.facebook.com/caroline.carey Caroline’s Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolinecarey/ Caroline’s YouTube http://www.youtube.com/@CarolineCarey-NeuroSoul Caroline’s Podcast https://shows.acast.com/how-to-find-our-soul-purpose/episodes 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 to uncover the hidden truth of your inner wounded healer - Lian Brook-Tyler
17-06-2026 | 1 u. 17 Min.
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

How women lost body time (and the remarkable way to reclaim it) - Christie Green
10-06-2026 | 1 u. 2 Min.
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/.

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
