Today marks a rare convergence—both All Hallows’ Eve and Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated in the East. As we honor Halloween, a tradition rooted in my own ancestral ties to Scotland and Ireland, I’m reminded of the shared theme between these days: a reverence for what lies beyond, whether in the shadows or in the warmth of light. It’s a powerful reminder of memory, the cycles of release and renewal, and how time itself can be a gift—a current that both flows from the past and guides us forward.
My dreams, most nights for 11 years (after I had my daughter): Were of floods, devastating flooding waters tearing through our towns, people trying to get away with roads crumbling all around them, landslides, tsunamis, etc.. As soon as we moved to California- I stopped dreaming.Ardra: Ardra Nakshatra is in the Gemini zodiac sign and is characterized by a Teardrop. Ardra Nakshatra means moist or wet and stands for transformation and destruction! The nakshatra also depicts unmet desires of the past life being carried forward to the present life embodied in our subconscious. The female gender Ardra nakshatra is governed by Rahu, whereas Rudra- the lord of storms is the Hindu deity of the nakshatra. The 1,000 year or 30,000 year (depending on who you talk to) storm that is unprecedented in our modern history books, came during a time in the Vedic calendar known as Pitru Paksha. This is the time devoted to the ancestors, and what we were focusing on in ritual practices and research with our Wild Temple School. As I, alongside the thousands th
This episode explores these themes further, reflecting on memory, resilience, and the ways we’re called to tend to the deep waters of our past through a recent Natural disaster called "Helene." I’ll share thoughts on honoring our ancestors, navigating emotional currents, and the strength we find in community care during times of crisis.
Hurricane Helene:
Hurricane Helene, large, catastrophic tropical cyclone notable for its rapid intensification that ultimately produced a wide swath of damage and loss of life that extended from northwestern Florida, where the storm made landfall on September 26, 2024, in the mountain ranges of Western North Carolina.
Helene’s high winds and flooding killed more than 230 people, making it the deadliest hurricane to strike the U.S.
Some estimates put the economic impact of the storm, including property and infrastructure damage, as high as $200 billion, which would make Helene the costliest storm in U.S. history.
Helene’s metamorphosis from an area of scattered thunderstorms and rain to a category 4 hurricane in the span of a little more than two days was fueled by abnormally warm waters in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, which meteorologists have attributed to global warming.

From Passion to Purpose: How Confusion May Be Lacing Your Path
We are in a potent time right now where Solar and Lunar energies are heightened. During this time we have Nature's guidance in having more inspiration, passion, enlivened, more aware even, juicy living.....and its assistance in waking up the "Sage within," which are clearer levels of seeing and being.
The time is now.
Overcome the Vision Gap and Live On Purpose
The earth is calling us to unleash our talents, such as with our voices or our "seeing powers" (Visionary potentials), to know what Medicine lies within us that needs a bit of a nudge or activation. To understand there is a Relational Field that connects us all, and to wake up our ability to sense/see/smell/taste/feel....this Field of connectedness
What medicine do you have that is right at your fingertips?
What superpower do you have to help support and heal you? To become the empowered badass you are meant to become?
In this episode, Brooke shares her timeline of adharmic living (doing it all wrong), and the confusion of conflicting passions and cloudy "visions." She also shares with you how little steps at a time advanced her in big ways to rise from the ashes of the streets and poverty, to Grammy winning band and running year long Sage Apprenticeships that are empowering other women to find their superpowers and live their dream-lives.
Take aways from this episode:
What can feel like a big, daunting task can be made more accessible and fun when we recognize that we were made for {this/our} Medicine, and we just need to know ourselves and get the support to help us bring it forward.
The Dharmic Revolution, is a methodology of living in alignment with Sacred Law, for empowering ourselves and others. A method that is aligned with seasons and cycles, it weaves in Tantra, Yoga, Meditation, Herbalism and Seasonal Rituals for joyful and impactful living
Aligning with the Power of Nature, such as with this Solstice and Full Moon, we can be aided in the envisioning needed, to craft or do the right practices that will aid us in birthing a beautiful new world that we are all ready and waiting for...
Happy Summer Solstice, 2024 -

They further explore the transformative and alchemical aspects of Tantra, its practical applications, and the importance of body-centered practices. The conversation also sheds light on how the practice of yoga fits into this worldview.

A Living Dharma Window: Equine Power + Ethical Space holding with Jamila Jackson
This episode is a window into power, path and purpose.
In this episode, Brooke discusses with her guest, Jamila Jackson, how to hold space ethically (for one's self and others), while healing and being in a position of power. We discuss the potency of merging sacred technologies with Equine therapy and how this relates to ethical space-holding.- especially when working with sexual and generational trauma.
Jamila shares her journey, beginning with weaving her studies of Equine and flower essence therapy together and continuing to explore the energetics of power through yoga and Tantra. She delves into her curiosity about how to hold space as a leader without manipulation or misuse.Jamila speaks about her work with horses, highlighting how they can assist in healing trauma, particularly sexual trauma. She incorporates yoga therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy into her practice as well.
Furthermore, she also shares how her work has adapted to be offered through online platforms, which helps her support others through pre-recorded meditations and teachings.
Brooke and Jamila closed the conversation with a window into Jamila's path of aligning to her own Dharma in apprenticeship with Brooke at The Wild Temple school.
