What if desire is not a temptation to overcome, but a sacred current guiding us back to the divine?

In this luminous conversation, Brooke Sullivan sits down with Ekabhumi to talk about the mystery of desire as an ancient, erotic intelligence that moves through all of life. Together, they explore desire not as a flaw of the human condition, but as a holy force, one that animates creation, fuels awakening, and invites us into deeper intimacy with reality itself.

Woven through reflections on sacred art, spiritual traditions, and the living wisdom of nature, this episode reveals desire as a threshold: a place where matter and spirit meet. Sexuality becomes only one expression of a far older cosmic eros, the pulse that moves through trees, breath, imagination, and the ache to know and be known. Sacred art emerges as a devotional practice, a way of remembering our orientation in the world and making contact with the unseen.

Through beauty, symbol, and imagination, we touch a deeper order of meaning, one that invites reverence, creativity, and surrender to the mystery of being alive. This is a conversation for those who sense that enlightenment does not arrive through denial, but through devotion - to the body, to beauty, to desire itself. An invitation to step into the erotic, sacred unfolding of reality and rest in the delight of awareness.

Welcome. Today’s exploration is about spiritual freedom, storytelling, and finding truth within oneself. The journey of understanding one's own spirituality can be both challenging and empowering, as we unravel what religiosity means and the boundaries that it sometimes crosses.

Religiosity often brings with it the imposition of belief systems. What boundaries are crossed when one insists their spiritual path is the only way? Empowered choice is our birthright, but others' belief impositions cloud our heart’s deity. Herein lies the essence of volition, or the power of using our will, in spiritual journeys.

When trusted figures, such as a therapist, bypass personal agency, it reflects a broader sickness of spiritual colonization. This is important to name and challenge respectfully.

Comments and open dialogue from this tender place are welcome. May this invocation bring you peace, nurtured by the divine force residing within each of our hearts. Much love to all.

The New Year: Desire for Freedom and Fulfillment

This episode marks a threshold—a bridge into the next season (our 3rd) of The Wild Temple Podcast.

Here, Brooke reflects in a solocast, on the transition from a year devoted to Dharma—structure, coherence, and sacred technologies—into a new season centered on Desire. In the Tantric tradition, desire is not something to overcome or supress, but a living intelligence that, when understood, becomes a path toward freedom (mukti) and fulfillment (bhukti).

Drawing from Tantra and lived practice, this episode explores:

• Desire as a generative force that moves through a dharmic life
• The relationship between bhukti (enjoyment, participation in life) and mukti (liberation, freedom)
• How desire matures when guided by vimarśa—reflective wisdom and clear seeing
• Why this New Year moment invites orientation along with resolution
• How desire can support self-mastery, clarity, and conscious direction when held with discernment

This is an episode that offers a contemplative entry into a season where desire is approached as a teacher, a current, and a companion on the path of dharmic living.
