When someone ask, “what’s your sign?” we usually respond with our astrological Sun Sign. Lesser known is our Moon Sign, or the position of the moon at the time of our birth in astrology. 

Knowing what sign the moon was in (in astrology) gives us a richer understanding of who we are. Primarily, our shadow, inner realm, and how we process the world around us. Join us as we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and how we compassionately show up for others in this latest episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast with Amber Astronauta.

What Is A Moon Sign? Navigating the Inner Realm with Amber Astronauta

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.

Herbalism with Herbalist Brit Josa

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!

Ever wonder if humans really have a kaleidoscope of colors surrounding them? And if they do, what do they mean? Well, you’re in luck. 

Our next guest on the Wild Wonder Podcast is Intuitive Artist and Reiki Master Alex Sayer. We’ll chat about how doubling-down on her own intuitive hunches led Alex from a conservative upbringing to starting yoga, discovering the Divine Feminine, and ultimately healing through creative practices, Reiki, and traditional therapy.

Witchcraft with Christina Rosso-Schneider

On this episode of the Wild Wonder Podcast, host Kristen Llorca welcomes evolutionary astrologer and author of the American Renaissance Tarot Thea Wirsching. Together, they dive into the lessons of the Venus archetype, which ask - 

What do you love? 
What do you crave? 
What feeds your senses? 

Filmed during Venus Retrograde, Thea explores the Tarot's Two of Swords and its association to the dynamic relationship between the mind and heart. This episode invites us to elevate our ideas around the love of the other and self-love - how sometimes a journey of a thousand miles leads us right back to ourselves.

Self-Love Through Astrology with Thea Wirsching

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. To learn more about Sophia's work, visit www.divinevoidsophia.com.

Part 2: The Akasha + Spiritual Sovereignty with Divine Void Sophia

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.

How Tarot Works with Ernesto Fazioli (English/Italiano)

Overcome Emotional Eating with Dr. Michaela Czerneková

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.

Wild Wonder Podcast, Season 2

History, Rituals, + Magic of Ostara

On today’s Wild Wonder Podcast episode, hostess Kristen Llorca welcomes Dr. Tanmeet Sethi to learn how joy is not only present in our grief, but how joy might be an essential ingredient to us thriving as individuals and as a collective.

Tanmeet Sethi, MD is an Integrative and Psychedelic Medicine Physician, activist, author, and TEDx speaker who has dedicated her career to care for the most marginalized patients in Seattle's refugee, uninsured and homeless populations as well as global communities traumatized by manmade and natural disasters as senior faculty for The Center for Mind Body Medicine. Her first book, Joy Is My Justice: Reclaim Yours Now, published in May 2023, is a radical call to claim Joy as our birthright, the deepest liberation we can know and a path to power through oppression.

Goal GETTING with Alessandro

Join Kristen Llorca as she interviews yoga teacher + community leader Lorena Saavedra Smith about the challenges facing Latin American folx, the lack of education and self-care resources, and how together we can break through those barriers. 

We also discuss the power of representation, what the "yoga industry" is just beginning to understand about Latin American culture and race, and the belief that may just unite all Latinx communities. 

As a Peruvia-born community advocate and yoga therapist, Lorena combines the shamanic healing practices of her native culture with somatic therapies to help Latin American women heal from trauma. Her work with immigrant and undocumented populations gives voice to those that often have none, while helping Latin American peoples to feel safe and embodied.

Let’s talk about “sex magic”.

After finding an "ESP and Me" book in the elementary school library, they took it as a sign and haven't turned away from the strange, magical and wonderful since. Balancing witchcraft, politic, and identity they continue to learn new ways to embody their spiritual practice through deepening their understanding of self and the world around them.

Led by Ash Yezuita
Whether you hope to entice yourself, spell cast for a raise, petition to the spirits or deities for better health or invite consensual, healthy and loving relationships in, sex magic may offer a way to light a spark.
