Hello Wild Temple listeners, welcome to a journey of self-discovery and connection with nature. Recently returned from Scotland, I feel overwhelmed with gratitude for the special magic of my current home in Appalachia. Like many of you might relate, the idea of 'home' has always been a complex, evolving concept for me. This episode explores my revelations on home, community, and the profound wisdom of subtlety that I have discovered through tantra, plant medicine, and a journey across continents. ~ Brooke

🎙️ In This Episode:

In this solocast, Brooke shares her journey back from a retreat in Scotland to her home in Asheville, North Carolina, and reflects on the contrasting yet magical landscapes of both places. Listen in as she explores the concept of home, community, and the importance of deep connection with the land.

Brooke also share stories of plant allies, such as the sweet pea and fern, and her journey towards self-mastery and deeper connection with her environments and communities. 

Thank you for listening! We invite you to explore these practices and foster sensitivity as a source of strength and discover the profound contentment that lies within the nuanced layers of life. We hope this episode inspires you to embrace your sensitivity, find your home within yourself and your surroundings, and craft a fulfilling life aligned with your values.
