Chiron, the greatest healer in the mythological world, could not heal himself, and so became known as, 'the wounded healer.' Solea opens this series with a myth, a prayer and an invocation to the wisdom of the wound. She presences Chiron as a living intelligence that's alive in each of us, shaping both our wounds, and the shadows we can't quite see.

Drawing on her training in Jungian psychology, somatic attunement, collective trauma, evolutionary astrology and the wisdom of indigenous ritual traditions, Solea explains: - Why the 'unhealable' wound can only be tended in relationship - The importance of relationality in shadow work - Sincerity as the simplest and most direct path to healing - The resources that our 'more-than-human world' offers to us all

Solea closes with a prayer, an offering to carry listeners through the weeks ahead. Quiet, generous and profoundly grounding, this conversation sets the tone for the episodes that follow.

About Solea Anani, Spiritual Mentor

Solea Anani is the founder and guide of ANAM, a living sanctuary devoted to supporting the emerging human in deep relationship with the intelligence of the Soul. Her work is rooted in the interwoven lineages of Animism, Depth Psychology, and Mysticism, offering a path that bridges the inner and outer worlds through embodied awareness and relational attunement.

Born of Taíno, West African, Chinese, and Spanish ancestry, Solea's work is informed by a reverence for ancestral wisdom and the living world. She walks as a practitioner of Animism, perceiving life as a field of relationship with both human and other-than-human beings—earth, elements, ancestors, and unseen realms.

Through ANAM, Solea offers mentorship, somatic attunement practices, ancestral reverence work, and evolutionary astrology as pathways into deeper coherence, relational intelligence, and embodied wholeness. She accompanies individuals and groups in the sacred process of becoming—where soul, body, and cosmos meet in living co-creation.
