The School of Wonder

The School of Wonder podcast is a place to gather inspiration and learn from a wide range of authors, artists, coaches and teachers. What they all have in common is the ability to teach us how to be more brave, feel more alive and treat ourselves (and others) with more compassion. Andrea Scher - best known for her award-winning blog Superhero Journal - is passionate about the sweet spot where creativity and personal growth intersect.

Darshana Avila is a somatic sex and intimacy coach and has created the Map of Erotic Wholeness as a path to personal liberation in service to our collective sexual liberation.

Her unique style of somatic sex and intimacy coaching weaves together an integral approach drawing upon trauma-informed, nature-based, and a justice-oriented approach – all of which invites more presence, pleasure, and passion into the lives and relationships of those she guides.

Katarina (Kato) Wittich has had the great privilege to act as a midwife for many other humans as they journey toward wholeness and self love. She is a certified Rosen Practitioner, Yuen Practitioner, and Family Constellations Facilitator. It is her joy to be a perpetual student of the mystery and beauty of humanness, of our experience of ourselves as separate, and yet woven together in ways we can barely comprehend but can directly experience through the group practice of Constellations.
 
Her work is featured in episode five of the Netflix series "Sex, Love & Goop", in which she leads constellations for a couple who wish to avoid repeating the inherited family patterns which have damaged their previous relationships. Kato is grateful to have had the opportunity to facilitate in the first mainstream television exposure for this profound and life changing work, in which you can witness the impossible wonder of our interconnectedness, unlimited by time or physicality.  For more information watch the episode on Netflix or go to RosenConstellations.com 
 
In the rest of her life, she is a screenwriter, director, painter, dancer and general lover of all things creative, embodied and human.
