In this episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast, Swami Chidananda joins host Kristen Llorca to answer the age-old question, "How do I discover my dharma?" and why the wisdom held in the Bhagavad Gita can help us on our journey toward discovering what we're meant to do in this life, our life's purpose. SWAMI CHIDANANDA is a spiritual educator and monk initiated in the Hari Bhakta Lineage, holding the distinguished title of Swami. With guidance from his teacher, Paramahamsa Swami Vishwananda, and the study of scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Swami has gained a deep understanding of the science of Yoga and has devoted his life to helping others on their inner journey. Before entering the spiritual path, he had a successful career as an investment banker and entrepreneur.

In this episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast, host Kristen Llorca speaks to Chair-Based Yoga Specialist and Yuva Yoga Founder Maria Jones about the importance of the breath, breathing exercises, and gentler yoga movements as a vehicle for profound physical and mental healing. Maria was diagnosed with systemic lupus in 2004, which made her reconsider what "good health" means as a person who is chronically ill. Here she shares what she's discovered on her journey, and offers real tools for individuals of all abilities, proving yoga really is for everyone. MARIA JONES "Maria Jones is a bundle of joyful energy. A yoga teacher with a passion for serving others, Maria takes immense pleasure from her classes. It is this infectious positivity and good-spirit that makes her teaching so incredible. Maria's unfaltering enthusiasm is all the more inspiring given her history of debilitating illness, forcing her to leave a career in engineering. Nonetheless, it is in yoga that Maria cites she has found her purpose, to inspire and brighten the lives of her students." - Melissa Albarran for Yoga Magazine 2020.

In this episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast, Jill Dresser from French Quartour Kids Tours joins hostess Kristen Llorca from New Orleans to dive into New Orleans ghost stories. Learn what these stories can tell us about the people who passed them down, where there can be found, and who these ghosts are. Ghost stories also reveal a lot about power and privilege, stereotypes around women, children, and different races. Stories and superstitions also allow us to understand people's fears of the time- strange illnesses, new leaders, and social tensions. Plus, they're primary sources! We can use these fascinating stories to have kids engage in primary sources, visualize life in the olden days, and gain perspective on past events.

In this conversation with journalist Luca Signorelli, we dissect the role of the artist, genius vs. mental distortion, the human need to be seen, and the perils of social media before the creation of social media. De Maria's cult-classic "20 Days of Turin" was written shortly after the student uprisings of 1968, when The University of Turin was a hotbed of dissent and rebellion, and the city of Turin itself was under siege. At the time of this book's writing, De Maria would have been living through one of his country's biggest revolutions and deadliest years - the Years of Lead (Anni di piombo).

On this episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast, host Kristen Llorca speaks with channeler, explorer of The Akasha, and conduit Sophia Hornyak on what it means to tune into your frequency, trust your own channel, and be spiritually sovereign. As part of Sophia's newest curriculum, she guides students in harmonizing one's own frequency to Self, trusting their own channel, learning the language of Spirit and of their own nature or spiritual ecosystem. Sophia believes language is our greatest barrier, and that in learning to communicate and trust one's Self (rather than looking to others' definitions) we align closer to our own divine nature.

In this episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast, we talk about mentorship with Reiki Master Teacher Amber Astronauta. What are the benefits of creating a relationship with a mentor, someone with experience, skills, and heart to guide others along their journey? Is deep healing possible, the kind that can come from sharing the experience with a community? We'll explore these questions and much more, as we help listeners discover if it's time for a mentor, what to look for, and how to spot a fake. Inspired by her coach, new community, and all the new tools and insights she's gained after embarking on a sixth-month mentorship program herself, Amber is now offering a mentorship of her own. “Blast Off” is a 12-week Reiki Master Mentorship starting this September! It includes all the training necessary to become a Reiki Master, plus so much more – including support for building an authentic self-practice from our very own Kristen Llorca!

As an Asian American woman of mixed race, Sophia Tran Hornyak offers us her novel perspective - inviting us to consider how listening to the underdog parallels with our own ability to truly honor our shadow. In response to recent attacks against the AAPI community, we'll collectively examine whom is "allowed" to speak, whom is given our respect and attention, and how we can evolve through this dark moment in our history. Sophia is a Shadow Worker, Medium, Explorer of The Akasha, Root worker, and Conduit. She comes from a long line of Root Workers, Seers and Energy Workers. Raised in a tin roof house deep in the woods, Sophia was immersed in the traditions of the ancestors. She travels through portals of past lives and dimensions, operating as a conduit for frequencies that aid in healing or amplifying connections. Her area of expertise is in the realm of working with Shadow. Behind each shadow, shines our own powerful facet of The Divine Light. In this work, she bridges the relationship between the seeker, Shadow-Self and the light of their own individualization. Her passion is to empower each person with the tools to strengthen their own relationship with the divine energy within. In connecting within, we are able to connect without. You may find Sophia's work at www.divinevoidbotanica.com. The Wild Wonder Podcast is made possible by our generous Patreon subscribers. To support work like this visit patreon.com/wildwonder.
