EPISODE: From the Belly of the Dragon | A New Moon Transmission from Scotland
🗓️ July 24 | Amavasya in Pushya | New Moon Magic

🎙️ In This Episode:

From a beautiful edge of the Scottish coast, Brooke offers a New Moon transmission that feels part dream, part prayer, part sacred assignment.

She shares a visionary dream—from 2 nights ago, where we as women are on a covert mission.. walking a path into the belly of the beast in service to Sacred Law. From Rosie the Riveteer to Waverly Trainstation potent magic occurs beneath a roof of bark and breath. Are you ready to take the journey? To be a sister who chooses not to burn the bundle, but to distill it through voice?!

This episode is a remembrance for all women holding something sacred:
a story, a knowing, a calling, a medicine.

It is also a teaching on:

• 🌸 the subtle ferocity of Sweet Pea flower essence,
• 🪷 the ache and beauty of longing for home, healing from colonization + patriarchy + preventing the war on women
• 🌀 and the dharmic power of voice to transform worlds—within and without.

🌿 In This Transmission, You’ll Hear:

• A mythic dream of a sacred laboratory and a choice to protect the living
• A message for women who already know—but haven’t yet trusted themselves fully
• An intimate look at Sweet Pea flower essence as a healing ally for reconnection to homeland, soul lineage, and softness without fragility
• A discussion on how feminine bonding is not a luxury, but a necessity for spiritual survival and impact
• An invitation to reclaim voice as dharma—not just for speaking truth, but as a vibrational solvent that carries the sacred across dimensions
• A pulse on New Moon in Pushya and why this lunar cusp is so ripe for setting intentions rooted in nourishment and right timing

🌀 Journal Prompts for This Moon:

• What is your cedar bundle—the offering you carry that feels too holy to burn, too necessary to hide?
• How would it feel to speak what you’ve been carrying, instead of holding it in silence or secrecy?
• Where in your life are you longing for home—and what might Sweet Pea teach you about returning?
• What feminine bonds are asking to be rekindled or tended in your life right now?
• Where have you mistaken softness for weakness—and how might your subtle power be your most dangerous and dharmic gift?

From Witch Trials to the United Nations: Your Power IS Your Voice
A Guru Purnima Transmission from The Wild Temple

This special Guru Purnima episode of The Wild Temple Podcast explores the sacred force of voice—as an offering, a healing, and a reclamation of dharma.

The episode opens with the profound recognition that reclaiming one’s voice is both an ancestral inheritance and a spiritual responsibility. Brooke Shannon Sullivan shares a recent revelation from her own lineage: in 1692, during the Salem Witch Trials, her ninth great-grandparents signed a petition to protect their neighbor, John Proctor, from execution. This act of defiance—and the fear it surely carried—still echoes in the bodies of many today who walk the path of healing, midwifery, and spiritual leadership.

In this same season, Brooke was invited to deliver an address at the United Nations, where she shared this message:

This episode weaves together that global call with a personal and collective journey through ancestral healing, sacred speech, and the wisdom of the Earth.

Key Themes:

• Voice as Dharma: exploring the journey of reclaiming voice as a soul-aligned path
• Matangi as the Devi of unfiltered truth, misfits, margins, and divine speech
• The continuation of witch trials in modern systems—and how healing lineages of silence is revolutionary
• A powerful public apology from the Church of Scotland to the women persecuted as witches, and what it signals about collective reckoning
• The meaning of deep nourishment in the Tantric tradition—not as indulgence, but as devotion, self-worth, and connection to Source
• The importance of ritual offerings and flowers in Yogic and Vedic lineages, and how they awaken remembrance and relational healing
• The formation of the Wildflower Coalition, a movement to seed beauty, care, and resilience in both ecological and spiritual landscapes
• The Bhagavad Gita’s enduring reminder of what makes an offering sacred:

The episode closes with a poetic invocation to the listener:

A call to remember. A call to speak. A call to plant.
