Something changes when women stop performing and start telling the truth in a room that can hold it. We’re back for a “Whispers of Wisdom” catch-up to share what our summer retreats taught us about real community, real healing, and the kind of sacred space that actually follows you home. If you’ve been craving deeper connection, women’s circle energy, or a retreat that feels grounded instead of chaotic, this conversation is for you.

We talk about why women gathering in ceremony can feel like a lost art and why it’s returning now. We get into the practical ingredients: clear group agreements, confidentiality, self-responsibility, and the powerful shift from rescuing to witnessing. We also share a retreat detail we love, the no-tissues agreement, because it gently trains agency and nervous system safety without shutting emotions down.

You’ll hear behind-the-scenes stories from our own women’s retreats, including a four-elements arrival flow, cacao, sound bath, mirror work, journaling, pendulum basics, DIY oils, and the importance of pacing. Christine also shares a somatic emotional release ritual from Austin, followed by long integration rest and Reiki to help the body process what it just moved. We wrap with what we’re building next, including potential retreats in Hemet, California, Austin in the spring, and an MLK weekend Sacred Tantra retreat where integration is the heart of the work.

Plant medicine is everywhere right now and so is the quiet confusion that follows it: Was that healing, or was it just a peak experience I’m chasing again? We sit down with clinical hypnotherapist Derek Ivey to talk honestly about addiction, recovery, and why “spiritual” substance use still carries real risks when the integration piece is missing.

Derek shares his own journey through alcoholism, relapse, and the moment he knew he wouldn’t survive if he kept going. From 12-step recovery to Buddhism, Reiki, and deeper consciousness work, we track how shame and suppression can drive the need to alter our state just to feel confident, playful, or connected. We also talk about the cultural normalization of uppers and downers, coffee to push through the day and alcohol to shut off at night, and what changes when we stop forcing our bodies into a schedule that doesn’t fit.

We go deep on psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine, including the neuroplasticity window and why it can either support new habits or amplify the inner critic if you return to old patterns. Derek offers a grounded alternative through transpersonal journey work and hypnotherapy: not “renting the view,” but building the window, learning how to access non-ordinary reality and nervous system regulation without needing a chemical shortcut.

If you’ve been curious about psychedelics, navigating sobriety, or trying to heal without bypassing your real life, this conversation gives you language, nuance, and practical next steps. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to help more people find Wisdom Rising.

A live summer solstice gathering turns into a rapid-fire tour of the Bozeman, Montana holistic wellness scene. We’re at SpiritFest with quick, honest mini interviews that let you feel the heart of a local spiritual community: people showing up to heal, learn, and connect with practitioners who do more than a one-time session.

We start with Lauren, the host behind Tree of Life SpiritFest, sharing why she created a platform for retreats, courses, and ongoing support. From there we meet Erin, a mobile massage therapist blending Swedish relaxation with trigger point and treatment work, plus Allie from Lighthouse Bozeman, who brings sound healing into the spotlight with coherent field work and a powerful Sun Gong experience. If you’ve been curious about vibration therapy, gong baths, or sound as medicine, you’ll hear why the “felt” experience matters as much as the explanation.

We also talk intuitive tools that help people navigate transition seasons. Sharon Nicole offers astrology readings and oracle readings, tying self-expression and creativity to chart placements, while Monique breaks down mediumship, Reiki, theta healing, and QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique). She explains the theta brainwave state, exploring past-life or ancestral roots of patterns, shifting beliefs that no longer serve, and inviting deeper physical, mental, and emotional healing. The thread running through it all is simple: release what doesn’t fit anymore, trust your intuition, and listen to your body.

If you’re looking for energy healing, sound healing, astrology, QHHT, Reiki, or spiritual events in Bozeman, this is a great place to start. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a reset, and leave us a review with the modality you want to try next.
