From Witch Trials to the United Nations: Your Power IS Your Voice
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:
It is time to: "Spread Wildflowers Not Wildfires"
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:
“Whoever offers Me with devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water—
I accept that offering from the pure-hearted soul.”
—Bhagavad Gita 9.26
The episode closes with a poetic invocation to the listener:
“Our revolution begins with a handful of seeds.
With tender nourishment and care, our efforts become living wildflowers.
And together, we become a bouquet of resistance and resilience.”
A call to remember. A call to speak. A call to plant.
