S2 E2: Punk Rocker to Shaman
Description
Wen Chi Little Owl is a shaman with a rebellious spirit with a background in avant-garde art, music, and healing. From her early years in conservative Taiwan to her wild artistic explorations in New York City, Wen Chi shares how she evolved from a punk rock performer to a healer and spiritual guide.
Wen Chi recounts her early fascination with breaking boundaries, leading her to study fashion in New York, work in film with Ang Lee, and perform with the provocative band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. Despite her artistic success, she struggled with chronic illness, leading her to Chinese medicine and, ultimately, spiritual healing.
Her journey took a transformative turn when she encountered shamanic traditions, experiencing deep emotional and spiritual healing through plant medicine ceremonies. What started as personal exploration became a calling—one that seamlessly blended her artistic, musical, and healing practices.
