The Wild Sovereign Soul Show

Lian Brook-Tyler & Jonathan Wilkinson: Wild Sovereign Soulwww.bemythical.com
It's challenging to live in this crazy modern world, The Wild Sovereign Soul Show is what we know will help. The show is a top 1.5% globally ranked podcast, that's been evolving since 2014, with over 500 episodes and counting - prepare to be inspired, guided, and activated by deep, soul-stirring explorations. Wild Sovereign Soul helps soul seekers find their way home in this crazy modern world, released from the cycles of overwhelm, loneliness, and endless self-improvement, to remember who they truly are, finally set free to live a life of deep meaning, embodied ease, and love. Our people are the divergent ones (neurodivergent or otherwise), in short, those who are unwilling or unable to conform to the status quo. You will know yourself to be a divergent one if you've thought things like: "This can't be all there is…" "There has to be another way…" "I can't be the only person who is seeing what I see…" Divergent ones are "the others" as Timothy Leary so evocatively described people like us. The heart of the show is simple… It's for those of us who feel something essential is being lost over time: the relationship with the body and land, inner authority and agency, and a sense of being guided from within rather than shaped by cultural conditioning, external pressure, and fear. And so these conversations, explorations, and transmissions are here to guide you to reclaim your wildness, actualise your sovereignty, and awaken your soul. Each month, our co-founders Lian and Jonathan sit down to speak into the themes of the modern world as they are actually living them, sharing what they're noticing in their own lives and work with clients and students, alongside questions from the team and listeners. Once a month, Lian hosts a live solo episode, The All The Everything Show, which flows more like a workshop or master class than a broadcast, going deep on a single theme through science, spirituality, and story, with space for real-time engagement and reflection. Alongside this, the show welcomes carefully chosen guests, including remarkable thinkers, wisdom keepers, visionaries, and healers, whose work aligns with the Wild Sovereign Soul path and brings additional perspective and depth. Since 2014, we have amassed a rich cornucopia of hundreds of episodes weaving ancient ways into modern days, drawing from animism and shamanism, embodiment, rewilding, mythopoetic and archetypal work, shadow work, astrology, non-dual spirituality, plant medicine, and more, always grounded in lived experience. Together, these conversations offer grounded insight, orientation and inspiration for being wild, sovereign, and soul-led in a culture that often pulls us away from what truly matters. Each episode is also an invitation to go deeper in UNIO, the living home of the Wild Sovereign Soul path, where this work is practised together in community. Listen now, and join your kin for the conversation your soul has been longing for. With our love and blessings, Lian & Jonathan
