MEDICINE
Discover Your Soul’s Purpose…
Become Your Unique Medicine
Every old soul comes into this world with their own unique medicine…
The work for each of us is to uncover that medicine
and become it in deep service.
And yet… it’s never been more challenging to become our medicine than now *and* there has never been more need for our medicine than now.
This is the greatest challenge of our lives for the old souls in this new world.
We all know and have touched, to some extent, this place inside ourselves… Your very soul that came here with ancient wisdom, healing power and pure love. It speaks in whispers that you are different to others, that you aren’t meant to - or can’t - fit in and conform, it speaks in your longing to do work that is deeply soul-aligned, and it speaks in the ache of something missing, of not living the life you came here for.
There is such a deep knowing within… It’s simply been hidden from our ordinary conscious awareness through the conditioning, wounding and domestication we’ve received.
Gone are the elders and the tribe, and severed for the most part is our connection to the land and to Spirit… all of which would have shaped, guided, initiated, taught and loved us through the gauntlets of becoming our medicine.
And yet, despite these unprecedented times, there comes a point when we can no longer ignore or deny the call to become who we came here to be.
This is why Medicine exists…
to meet those who are ready to heed that call of their soul
We, Lian and Jonathan, have journeyed deeply into and through these very gauntlets for most of our lives (if not lifetimes!), and in doing so, have discovered that our own medicine, together in union, is a unique and greatly needed solution to this modern day puzzle… We are here to serve those old souls who are ready, despite the incredible challenges of these times, to heed that most ancient and sacred of calls to discover their purpose and become their unique medicine.
This is for you if…
You’re already working as a coach, healer, practitioner, therapist, mentor or guide, perhaps successfully, but you sense you’re still selling your soul to some extent in order to conform to industry norms and cultural expectations.... And you’re not yet fully clear on what your unique soul medicine is, or how to honour and actualise it in your work.
You’re finally ready to honour that esoteric sideline, those spiritual gifts or magical powers that deep down you know is what your soul truly came here for… But you don’t know how to make that a reality, let alone make a living from it.
You’re getting the memo from Spirit that you’re here for something more, maybe through dreams, synchronicities, visions, divination, and glitches in the matrix, and you know this is vital to your soul’s purpose… And yet, you’re not clear how to fully decipher the message or the actions that are aligned to take.
You’re doing your soul work to some degree already, and it’s deeply fulfilling when you do… However you can feel like a Starving Artist, opportunities are few and far between, which is greatly hindering you serving your gifts in the way you know in your heart you are here for.
You’re battle weary having invested so much time, energy and money searching for the answer to your struggles - a magic marketing bullet, a successful sales formula, the perfect niche… So you know all too well by now the answer doesn’t lie there, or at least not wholly, and you sense something deeper is missing, something at the deepest level of who you really are.
In short…
This is for the ones who are ready to uncover and become their potent medicine in deep service.
Do you feel that punch in the gut, a tug on your shirt cuff, a tingling upon your skin, or maybe a deep bone-felt knowing that tells you that we’re speaking about and to you? If so, the time is now, read on…
YOUR JOURNEY
You’ll be joining an intimate circle of medicinal men and women – each of you heeding the call to become the potent medicine for the world that your soul came here to be.
We will be harnessing ancient ways alchemised for modern days… including the power of archetypes, shamanic journeys, real magic, the astrological wisdom of the stars, and deep embodied ceremonies and rituals to aid you in the reclamation and actualisation of the gifts of your medicine.
This year-long journey will unfold through practices in your own home (and in the wild, of course!), through joining together online in circle and in dyads & triads with your fellow medicinal kin, and taking soul-aligned action in the world.
We will journey into deep healing and actualisation within these alchemical themes:
✨ Story
✨ Illumination
✨ Magic
✨ Alchemy
✨ Money
✨ Expression
✨ Sacred Offering
✨ Ceremony & ritual
✨ Being your Medicine
✨ Serving your Medicine
Every four weeks, the journey flows around this cycle:
✨ Week 1 – Medicine Teaching Circle:
Each Teaching Circle opens a new achemical crucible, in which Lian and Jonathan each go deep, teaching ancient principles, invoking shamanic journeys and embodied experiences, and sharing their own personal stories of becoming their medicine.
✨ Week 2 – Medicine Sharing Circle:
Be seen and receive reflections from Lian and Jonathan, and witness and be witnessed by your fellow Medicinal Ones on your journey together of becoming and expressing your Medicine.
✨ Week 3 – Medicine Guidance Circle:
Lian and Jonathan will both provide deep seeing and transformative guidance focused on where you and your fellow Medicinal Ones are on your unique journeys.
✨ Week 4 – Medicine Dyads & Triads:
Giving and receiving deep support from and witnessing by one or two of your fellow Medicinal Ones - this is an incredibly potent setting to express and serve your Medicine to others.
The Circles will be 11am (UK time) on Thursdays and will last around two hours. They are online – via the magic of Zoom.
We take a four-week break from circles during August, as well as other shorter breaks throughout the year - this is not down time, during these period you’ll be invited into initiatory rituals and ceremonies that are vital to the overall journey.
✨ Between circles
There will be a private online group to share what arises between circles, this will become a beautifully safe and powerful space in which to share your heart’s truth between circles, be witnessed and celebrated by your fellow Medicinal Ones, and receive guidance and support from Lian and Waking The Wild guide and seer, Sara.
Medicine alumni have expressed how blown away they were by what happens in the group and how it catalysed their healing and growth during the crucible.

The circles are held at 11am UK time on Thursdays.
We’ve chosen this time to make Medicine as accessible as possible for people all around the world, though we do appreciate it will mean getting up early or staying up late for some.
In past Medicines, we’ve had people join us from all over the world… including America and Australia.
If there’s a powerfully soul-aligned will, there’s a way! -
Absolutely! In fact, we’ll often encourage you to watch replays to witness your share, as that can be powerfully illuminating.
It’s an important part of the commitment to Medicine that you join the live circles, but in exceptional circumstances where you need to miss one, you’ll be able to watch the replay. -
That's a great question! And no, there's no conflict at all... quite the contrary, descending to soul is a perfect next step after ascending to spirit. Our About page explains why.
-
We completely understand! In fact, some of the most magical people often have the most uncertainty and resistance to recognising this in themselves.
Take a look at the webinars, podcasts and other resources below and notice if you feel a resonance.And if you book a Medicine Illumination Call, Lian or Jonathan will share their seeing of you and your gifts.

”…it’s changed my life dramatically. Since completing Medicine I’ve come out with a new mindset, I have a great group of people I can contact at anytime, and I just have to say it’s been one of the most fantastic experiences in my life. I’ve learned how to integrate my shadows and for me shadow work has just been instrumental in understanding myself and understanding the people around me and understanding how I can affect the world around me and manifest what I want in order to make my life more purposeful and more meaningful. I know how to look after myself much better, I know how to set my sights on and move towards what I want in a way that I feel is sustainable. It doesn’t take away the hardships it doesn’t make life easy but it does allow us to really settle into looking after those aspects. I now have a life of integrity, of honesty, and of deep love. If you’re looking to do this course it’s so beautiful to work with a group of people, and it brings out things that you just wouldn’t expect. I highly recommend it and want to thank Jonathan and Lian for what they’ve helped me to do with my life.”

“What Waking The Wild Medicine did for me was to truly wake up that hidden part of me that gift in me. Now it wasn't the easiest of rides to get there, to wake up that gift you have to look to the wounding. Rather than constantly putting a plaster over some hidden wounds, really pull the plaster back, and that descent that looking in that place, for me was one of the most difficult things I've ever done in my life. The amazing thing about not only Jonathan and Lian but the whole circle, the whole being witnessed and supported by other people meant that difficulty was doable. And what I’ve come to see is yes there were hidden gifts in me, an ability to hold people and to heal people and actually to feel people that I didn't know I had in me. So personally in my kind of everyday life and the way I feel there is this whole shifting of energy in me and that has just been amazing and that has totally translated in the work that I do in a way that I just did not expect. From the bottom of my heart Lian and Jonathan and all of my fellow soul mates that I will be in contact with for the rest of my life thank you for holding me, thank you for seeing me, and Lian and Jonathan thank you for all that you do and your gift to the world to see gifts in others is amazing and to translate that into real life results. This is actually about being in life in a whole different way and that's what's so amazing.”

“The primary outcome I was looking for was to really own myself grow into myself and transcend those unconscious patterns that I knew were maybe still dictating how I live my life and so many of which were invisible to me. I've really seen in my personal relationship the intimacy and power of my relationship just grew and grew and grew and showed me what's possible for me as a man. And then recognising myself as a leader within my own community, friendship groups, within my own family that I was maybe hiding away a little bit and I've really grown into that. I notice that I've really grown as a coach, I was taking on new clients and new opportunities in different ways - as a coach, as a magical explorer, as a true leader of the kind of people I work with, middle age men looking for a new sense of direction, I really found my voice. So it's basically benefited me professionally and personally in ways that I probably couldn't have imagined when I started.”

“A huge part of this programme is sitting in circle with others and it’s hard to express the power of that circle, it was completely mind blowing. We were all sitting in our own bedrooms or wherever we were and we were online with each other yet it literally felt like we were sitting around the fire together and again this is something that’s really hard to understand fully and unless you’ve done it but week on week the strength of the circle and the magical energetic it held got stronger and stronger and stronger and because of its strength it was like it drew each of us closer and closer into the fire so we could be seen more and more clearly, and we all shone more brightly and in that shining more brightly it became easier and easier to see each of the individual faces and their associated gifts. Through that being seen I learned an unbelievable amount about who I am and what I’m here to do. It became so apparent that there’s now no going back and changing, the fire has been lit and there’s no putting it out now and Waking The Wild Medicine did that.”

Heeding the call…
The next opportunity to join us is in January 2024
and enrollment is now OPEN!
This isn’t for everyone but if you’re feeling the call to become the potent medicine your soul came here to be, now is the time to book an Illumination Call - the purpose of the call is to illuminate whether joining us for Medicine 2024 is aligned with your soul.
Don’t know if this is for you..?
We hear you, it can take time and real courage to even begin to see, let alone, own your gifts. Immerse yourself in all the goodness below and see what feels true for you.
You can trust your ‘truth bumps’, chills and tears.
Which magical archetype could be right for your soul?
Many magical people don’t actually know they’re magical, let alone which archetype their soul chose to express their Medicine through.
Maybe you already know which Magical Archetype you are, maybe you're just beginning to hear the archetype's call or maybe you're wondering if you're a magical one at all... if so, here's something illuminating for you to dive into...
Could you be the Shaman archetype...?
This is the oldest Magical Archetype - all of the other Magical Archetypes carry aspects of the Shaman, and it means the folk who have a strong calling to the Shaman, also tend to have access to many of the other Magical Archetypes too.
Could you be the Seer archetype...?
Growing up, their experience was that they saw more than they wanted to see - their ability to see into the hearts and minds of others, and into the past and future was confusing and sometimes terrifying.
Could you be an Elven Sage...?
They often grew up doubting their own opinions and expressions and so have became people pleasers. They're so empathic and caring, they feel that they're a sponge for everyone else's moods and feelings. They have a down-to-earth quality that can have them feel overlooked.
Could you be a WITCH...?
Growing up, their experience was that they often felt lonely and misunderstood. They sometimes felt that others didn't trust them - to the extent there may have been painful situations in which they told the truth but weren’t believed. They had a strong pull to animals and plants (the Witch children are often the ones who made perfumes of petals and water!) and for doing things in secret, sometimes knowing it was magic.
Could you be a PRIESTESS...?
They often grew up feeling “too much”, are typically highly sensitive, very intelligent, have a love/hate (or love/fear) relationship to the spiritual/magical, and have a strong pull towards beauty, nature, ancient structures and art.

How embodying archetypes helps you to do your soul work

How to go from being a coach to truly living your unique, soul-aligned life
In this conversation, Lian and Vanessa explored what it means to become your unique medicine, our experiences with the coaching industry, the journey from coach to doing your deepest soul work, why it’s hard, what it costs, what it brings, i.e. why it’s worth EVERYTHING!
How to stop being just another coach and become your unique Medicine
In this episode, Lian dived deep into the topic: How to stop being just another coach and become your unique Medicine.

Owning your difference as a superpower for your highest good
In this episode, Lian dived deep into the topic: Owning your difference as a superpower for your highest good, she suggested to be truthful with yourself about your differences – ask trusted advisors if you’re not sure, identify and honour your needs in a sovereign way, and identify your superpowers and create your life in a way that allows you to use them in service of your vision.
Why you being your Medicine is a gift to the world
In this episode, Lian and Jonathan dived deep into the topic Why you being your Medicine is a gift to the world. They talked about the increasing trend in the personal growth field around teaching polarity, which can be a wonderful thing – and it can reveal deep wounds that we don’t benefit from ignoring and blindly doubly down on polarity techniques. Lian loved Steve’s example of when we embark on a new physical exercise which reveals an underlying injury or imbalance that requires addressing.

Why ‘living your purpose’ is the deepest spiritual work
(And how you can find yours.)
Purpose is so important to humans, in fact so deeply human, that it’s something that’s been spoken about in many ways, across many traditions and cultures, and likely for most of human history.
Whether you call it…
Your purpose
THE *REAL* REASON TO JOIN MEDICINE
I was just pondering some of the reasons that people have joined Waking The Wild Medicine in the past couple of years…
✨To discover their purpose
✨To connect deeply with a circle of like-minded people
✨To peel back the layers over their authentic selves
How you’ll KNOW the archetype that’s for you
When people discover the archetypes that are meant for them, especially the ones that are rare in this modern world, the difference it makes is beyond anything rational… that’s because the archetypes are beyond the rational.
As Carl Jung said “The reason why mythic statements invariably lead to word-magic is that the archetype possesses a numinous autonomy and has a psychic life of its own.”
What’s in the box..?
As mythical, mystical and magical as Waking The Wild Medicine is, it’s actually the simplest of our crucibles to describe the results… that’s because although it’s very deep, it’s also immensely practical.
So this is what you get in the Medicine box (and in the most down to earth language I have!):
Medicine guides you to:
✨ Know your unique self
Heal your wounds, Share your scars.🖤
As you might know, I speak a lot about how our greatest gifts are held in our deepest wounds, especially for those of us who are changeworkers, healers and coaches devoted to doing our deepest soul work.
In fact, one of our deepest, most magical crucibles, Waking The Wild Medicine, is focused on exactly this ancient truth.
The 5 Fallacies about doing your Soul Work
1. That it’ll come easily.
Yes, a vital part of doing your soul work is about doing what you’re innately great at, but ‘innately’ doesn’t mean that there won’t be a tonne of conditioning and wounding in the way or that it won’t require years of guidance and practice to fully actualise it.

11 signs that you’re a Magical One
You’ve never really felt like you fit in though you’ve tried your damnedest to do so (hello, Raven trying to be a pigeon).
