In this episode, we explore what happens when truth is suppressed and desire is smothered… and how Shakti rises in ten fierce directions to reclaim her power. This myth is a map of what happens inside each of us when the feminine is silenced, when desire is suppressed and the importance now of finally saying: “no more.”

From Shiva’s retreat into grief, to Sati’s self-immolation, to the falling of the Goddess’ yoni in Assam — this story reveals the spiritual and psychological roots of awakening, shadow work, and the return to our deepest dharma.

Brooke also shares reflections from recent time in Kamakhya — the cave, the water, the pulse of the land — and what it stirred in her own heart.

This is a sensorial, embodied entry point into the heart of Shakta Tantra and a reminder that every true path of awakening begins in the body, in honesty, and in the places where we have not yet dared to feel.

This episode is for anyone drawn to the Divine Feminine, shadow work, the origins of Tantra, or the fierce grace of the Goddess who rises from the ashes of our own suppression.

In this episode of The Wild Temple podcast, we take a evocative journey into the heart of sacred practice, Brooke shares an interview with Mary, a deeply intuitive hypnotherapist steeped in the subtle arts of energetics. Streaming from the lush, humming landscape of Assam, India, Brooke opens the episode with a tapestry of sensory impressions - verdant green, ancient stories carried on the wind, and the grounding pulse of the earth beneath her feet.

From this mystical threshold, the conversation unfolds into the essence of Tantra not as it is often miscast in modern culture, but as a profound science of energy, vitality, and conscious embodiment. Together, Brooke and Mary peel back layers of misunderstanding to reveal Tantra’s true heart: a path of awareness that honors the life force moving through all things.

Episode Summary: “Believing in What You Love” — The Rose, the Thorn, and the Power of Sacred Technologies

In this Full Moon reflection, Brooke invites you into believing in what you love—and loving what you do..even when it challenges you. From the joy of creating her new Twilight Studio to the honest exhaustion that surfaced an old trauma response, she shares how sacred technologies like Tantra, mantra, Ayurveda, and plant wisdom guided her back into alignment and self-trust.

Through stories of mantra as medicine, Goldenrod’s dharmic purpose, and the nervous system as a bridge for healing, Brooke reveals how true growth arises from both beauty and difficulty—the rose and the thorn.

This episode speaks to sensitive, purposeful people who are learning to lead from active, empowered lives-- not activated and dysregulated living. It offers a grounded reminder that belief, devotion, and nervous system awareness are essentials for sustainable awakening, entrepenurial mojo and creative service.

Key Insights & Practices:

• Embrace Sacred Technologies – Use Tantra, Ayurveda, and plant medicine as tools for self-regulation, clarity, and spiritual growth.
• Live Dharmically – Align your daily choices with your deeper purpose, integrating love, service, and authenticity.
• Honor the Nervous System – Cultivate steadiness through breathwork, mantra, and mindful movement.
• Work with Nature’s Allies – Discover plant guides like Goldenrod to support emotional and energetic balance.
• Find Meaning in Contrast – Recognize beauty and difficulty as equally sacred teachers on the path.
• Awaken Awe – Approach life with reverence and curiosity, letting wonder fuel confidence and creativity.

By weaving these principles into daily life, we transform ordinary moments into acts of awareness, connection, and inspired living—rooted in purpose, guided by awe.

Tantra gives us both practical and mystical tools to work with the unseen realms of collective mind, the natural world and the 'other worlds.'
