In the latest episode of Rewilding the Mythic Self, I sat down with friends and fellow wayfinders Kylee Anderson and Jamie Arias to explore a topic that often hides in the shadows of spiritual spaces:How do we create inclusive, safe, and non-hierarchical spiritual communities?
For all three of us, this question isn’t theoretical—it’s personal.We’ve each navigated the collision between our spiritual gifts and the institutional systems that tried to contain them—whether in schools, religious traditions, tech employers, or high-control spiritual groups. Those experiences left us with one clear truth: spiritual freedom thrives when it’s rooted in self-trust and supported by diverse perspectives, not centralized authority.
Here’s what we explored together:
🌱 The power of diverse teachers – why no one person or program should be your sole spiritual authority.🛡 Red and green flags when seeking spiritual mentorship, and how to recognize when an environment starts to feel unsafe.🌀 Deinstitutionalizing spirituality – untangling our faith from harmful power dynamics, people-pleasing patterns, and scarcity thinking.🌊 Returning to your element – whether it’s the ocean, art, or folk practices, finding the places and rituals that awaken your inner guidance.🕊 Safe spaces for the next generation – how to create environments where intuitive and mystical gifts aren’t just tolerated, but celebrated.
🌿 Green Flags — Signs of a Healthy, Supportive Spiritual Space
* Teachers who encourage you to trust your own intuition over their authority.
* Diverse perspectives and lived experiences represented in leadership.
* Open discussion and respectful disagreement are welcomed.
* Clear boundaries around consent, privacy, and personal choice.
* Financial transparency and fair, non-exploitative/predatory marketing.
* Shared leadership and collaborative decision-making.
* Resources and empowerment are distributed equitably, without favoritism.
* A culture of learning that honors differences and welcomes multiple paths to growth.
🚩 Red Flags — Warning Signs of Unhealthy or Extractive Spiritual Dynamics
* One leader is positioned as the sole keeper of spiritual truth or a “one true path” with imbalanced energy exchanges.
* Discouraging exploration of other teachers, communities, or traditions.
* Using fear, guilt, or shame to enforce participation or compliance.
* Pressuring rapid personal disclosure before trust is built.
* Lack of equity and transparency in finances; exploitation of staff or volunteers; prioritizing profit over soul-aligned purpose.
* Encouraging dependence on the leader or group instead of supporting sovereignty and independence.
* Lack of diversity and equitable access to resources or leadership opportunities.
* Relational hierarchy, favoritism, or unspoken pecking orders that go unchecked.
* Competition, jealousy, or aggression without processes for repair and integration.
* Unintegrated shadow dynamics that lead to scapegoating, witch-hunting, or stunting members’ growth beyond the container.

Kylie Anderson (Previous podcast guest: here)Intuitive Guide, Co-Creator of Mystical Whispers
Kylie’s intuitive gift revealed itself early—so strong that even as a child she astonished her family with startlingly accurate predictions, once even naming the exact clothing her cousin wore when featured on Australia’s Most Wanted. Though encouraged to wait until she was older to fully explore her abilities, she began reading with ordinary playing cards and quickly discovered the depth of her insight.
Her gift became a lifeline during one of the darkest chapters of her life—when a tragic twist of fate led to her wrongful incarceration. Even there, her visions carried hope: she confidently predicted freedom for a woman facing a 40-year sentence, a prophecy that came true. She later used her abilities to help solve a live case, standing as living proof that divine, wild truth can and will set you free.
Today, Kylie channels that same clarity and courage into helping others reclaim their own intuitive power. As co-creator of Mystical Whispers, she is devoted to building communities of spiritual freedom and empowerment—spaces where the path to New Earth is charted through liberation, truth, and love.
If you’ve ever felt too much, too sensitive, or like you had to hide your intuitive knowing, this conversation is a reminder:You’re not too much—you’re exactly enough.And your gifts deserve the right soil to grow.
About Rewilding the Mythic Self with Josephine Patricia
Welcome to Rewilding the Mythic Self—a podcast and blog portal for soul-led seekers, visionary misfits, and ancestral cycle-breakers ready to reclaim their creative sovereignty, spiritual autonomy, and mythic truth beyond systems of silence.
Hosted by Dr. Josephine Patricia Jarvis, this space is a ceremonial hearth where neurodivergent leaders, recovering over-givers, and repressed mystics gather to unearth the stories, symbols, and soulwork that awaken their deepest knowing. Through poetic storytelling, folk wisdom, trauma-informed reflections, and liberatory conversations, we remember: you are not broken—you’ve been conditioned.
Here, we spiral through the sacred mess of rewilding. We compost performance, perfectionism, and institutional entanglement to grow something more ancient and alive.
Each episode and blog post is an invitation to:
* Trust your creative and emotional impulses as holy guides
* Remember the ancestral threads you carry in your body
* Liberate your inner shapeshifter, oracle, artist, and rebel
* Practice visibility as a devotional act, not a demand
* Rebuild your life in rhythm with your soul—not systems
This is not self-help. This is soul retrieval.
Because the path forward isn’t linear—it’s mythic.
