Description

In this profound and high-vibration episode of Into the Woo, host Ariana Cleo sits down with the fiercely wise Haudenosaunee elder, Zelda Hotaling—a drum maker, ceremonial leader, and certified Starseed—who guides us back to "remembering" who we are. Zelda shares her potent journey into the woo, from receiving her vision to create her first turtle drum 38 years ago to the universe literally nudging her to retire from her job as a single mom and school bus driver to fully commit to her sacred purpose. We dive deep into the consciousness portals of her 28 Sacred Dream Circles, monumental art pieces that honor the Skywalkers (ironworkers) and serve as active centers for community healing and transformation, where you become a fierce warrior in your own awakening through ancient practices like actively toning the five primal vowels—A, E, I, O, U—to call all of yourself back home. Finally, Zelda reveals her expansive new vision: the Trail of Dreams project, dedicated to creating 15-foot healing circles globally and inspiring the next seven generations.

Solo Episode: My Fertility Journey & Audience Q&A

In this much-requested solo episode, I'm opening up about my path to motherhood—from an unexpected infertility diagnosis and the heartbreak of pregnancy loss to the manifestation journey that brought me here. I'm sharing how I learned to trust my intuition over test results, how I navigated the darkest nights of the soul, and the healing practices that helped me reclaim my power. Beyond my own story, we're getting practical about how to bring the "woo" into your everyday life. I'm answering your questions on: -Cleansing your space: How to clear energy in your home and body. -Raising magic kids: How to nurture your children's gifts and include them in ceremony. -Dream work: Tips to strengthen your ability to dream, recall them, and use them for processing. -Getting started: How to dip your toes into the woo, find community, and choose the practices that resonate with you. This episode is about building trust in yourself, healing your lineage, and finding the magic in the everyday. Whether you're navigating your own challenges or simply curious about deepening your spiritual practice, I hope this helps you feel a little more connected.

Body Work, Somatic Healing & Past Lives — 30 Years of Healing with Robert Volinsky

In this episode of Into the Woo, Ariana sits down with Robert Volinsky — meditation teacher, bodyworker, and energy healing practitioner with 30 years in practice — to explore what it really means to heal at the level of the soul. From his first crystal to past lives, from the limits of talk therapy to the moment he surrendered to his anxiety on his bedroom floor and it simply vanished, this one goes deep. This episode dives into: Why some grief is too big to be from just this lifetime What Inner Space Therapy (IST) is and how it differs from hypnosis and talk therapy How Robert receives psychic and emotional impressions during bodywork The anxiety story that's hard to believe — but completely true Why consciousness and the mind are not the same thing Soulmates, past lives, and what it means when someone feels inexplicably familiar The one woo modality Robert won't touch (hint: it involves a séance) Why essential oils are the best gateway drug into the woo Where to start if you're woo curious and have never tried anything Show Notes: * ITW IG [https://www.instagram.com/intothe_woo] * Ariana IG [https://www.instagram.com/ariana.cleo] * Robert IG [http://www.instagram.com/robertvolinsky] Robert is based in New York and relocating to the UK — he works with clients online worldwide RobertVolinsky.com [https://robertvolinsky.com/] Produced by Peoples Media [https://www.peoplesmedianetwork.com/]

Detoxing, Lymes Disease, & Advocating for your Health with Founder of Armur Health Alexandra Brook-Clark

This episode of Into The Woo is a spiritual and detox masterclass as Ariana sits down with Alexandra Brooke Clark, founder of Armur Health, to explore her decade-long battle with chronic Lyme disease, co-infections, and mold toxicity, and the medical gaslighting she endured. Alexandra reveals her shocking "star seed" confirmation and the profound understanding she gained through the cosmic law of transference of energy in a plant-based medicine ceremony, which transformed her sickness from a burden into an act of generational love and proved that energy hygiene and brain retraining were key to her recovery. She also shares the absolute musts for detoxing your environment, covering the truth about water filtration, why bottled water leads to "drinking microplastics and all of these things," non-negotiable steps for mitigating EMF exposure (which is "nuking and microwaving your brain"), the top 3 lowest-lift, highest-impact swaps (air, water, and cleaning products), and the number one product all women should stop using for their vaginal health.
