Bio: Wildcat was born in the Oklahoma Seminole Nation and moved around a lot growing up, living in a number of different cultures in this country and traveling abroad. Music (especially singing and drumming), dance, and the psychedelic sacrament medicines are important parts of his spiritual relationship with reality, as are meditation, asana, and time in nature. His family includes 3 dog women and his romantic partner, all of whom spend as much time playing outdoors as possible. He studied mathematics and mechanical engineering in school then left it all behind to do regenerative ecology work, focusing on the restoration of biodiversity above and within the ground, with an emphasis on fungi. He’s been DJing for 20 years, exploring the world of musical styles in the process.


Music: Wildcat’s musical focus is on the beautiful, the psychedelic, the emotionally stirring, the deeply funky, the healthy sexy, and on soundscapes that paint vivid pictures within him. He loves organic indigenous musical traditions from around the world, African and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, modern combinations of these old traditions, and the new spaces where modern electronica production styles interface with them. His favorite dance tracks have the rooted, Earthy, indigenous elements grounding them, the core-centered strong sexuality, the chest-centered urban style cool funk sensibility, and the powerful psychedelic spiritual science informing his spirit as he moves with them. In his life in general and as a musician, Wildcat focuses on bringing good medicine.

Sophia Code Circle Workshop

Saturday, November 19 | 6 pm - 7:30 pm

Are you feeling called to a personal transformation journey, unlike any you have experienced before? Does the Goddess Archetype inspire you and draw you in? Do the names Isis, Hathor, Mary Magdalen, and White Buffalo Women make you stand up a little taller?

Sophia Circle Journeys™ are a powerful ceremonial space to experience an emotionally safe, empowering, and rich heart-centered personal transformation to explore your unique sovereign self. 

Your own personal healing journey is the first and vital step in helping to heal the world. This is a gift to yourself and to humanity. Let yourself remember who you truly are as you embark on a 13 live class journey while we walk hand in hand with the Divine Feminine Goddesses. They have paved the way for us to joyfully, compassionately and fully embrace our authentic selves. The Sophia Code® allows us to heal our past so that we may be present to the miracles asking to be received in the present moments of our daily lives.

Come join me for a special event where we will sit together and open the dialogue for learning how to heal and transform our lives with the loving help of The Sophia Code®. 

Water, tea, and light refreshments will be provided. Please arrive with an open heart and a curious mind.

XOXO - Valiant Valerie, Your Certified Sophia Circle Leader

A little about me: My name is Valerie - I am passionate about all things healing, transformation and empowerment. The Divine Feminine teachings in The Sophia Code® inspired me to become a Certified Sophia Circle Leader. This living transmission sometimes referred to as the “divine feminine christ bible” woke me up to my worthiness to live my best and fullest life. It brought me to the deepest path of healing and has drastically changed my life. I received a full-ride graduate assistantship a year ago and the month prior to the start of the term, I found The Sophia Code®. I read it within a week and knew that this divine feminine mystery school was what I was truly being called to do. I turned down my graduate assistantship and enrolled immediately in the next Sophia Circle Leader Certification class. I am so excited to be bringing the teachings of The Sophia Code® to you now. This beautiful love letter to humanity is exactly what I needed to hear to bring me back to myself and it is my sincerest hope that it can be the light for you to find whatever it is that you need in your life right now.
