In this episode of The Wild Temple Podcast, Brooke invites you into the energy of the Amavasya, the dark moon, a time of reflection and healing. This particular Amavasya is especially unique, connected to a rare 144-year shift during the Kumbh Mela, making it a powerful moment for transformation. With the intensity of the news and social media, many of us feel overwhelmed or stuck in cycles of over-engagement or disengagement. Brooke shares practices to help us reconnect with our inner light and empower our calm, centered selves in the midst of the noise.

Brooke also takes a closer look at the science of dopamine, explaining how our brain’s “reward chemical” is constantly triggered by the overstimulation of modern life, leaving us feeling anxious, restless, and burnt out. Drawing on the Yogic concept of Rajas—our restless desire for constant activity and stimulation—she connects the dots between this modern dilemma and how we can find a way back to balance.

In addition, Brooke shares a personal story from her time at the Kumbh Mela, where the disempowerment of the feminine was healed through the powerful presence of the Divine Feminine and the sacredness of the land. Finally, she offers simple, grounded practices from Yoga Therapy and Tanmatra Chikitsa (sense therapies) to reduce Rajas and balance our dopamine systems, helping us reset and restore our inner calm. Tune in for an episode full of practical tools to bring you back to your center and reconnect with your truest self.

Tantra gives us both practical and mystical tools to work with the unseen realms of collective mind, the natural world and the 'other worlds.' Join Brooke for this very special- secret-workshop to understand Tantra from this lens, and take away an empowering invocation to work with the unseen forces in your life.
