Hosts Natraj Chaitanya and Vishnudev dive into kriyas—spontaneous yogic movements caused by the awakened shakti that purify body, mind, and destiny. They mix scripture, ashram stories, and practical insight to explain how contraction and expansion are part of the path to liberation.
Listeners get practical advice on relating to kriyas: remember the movement as benevolent shakti, seek support from teachers and satsang, and use devotional practices, rest, and simple self-care to weather intense periods of purification.

Hanna Williams joins the WTF podcast to unpack an 11-year tantric journey: aggressive non-dualism, Shaktipat initiation, and the volatile tenderness of guru-disciple life. They cover kitchen seva, sangha conflict and repair, meme culture as modern sutra, and the daily discipline of japa and devotion.
The conversation moves between raw personal stories and practical spiritual tools—how to hold paradox, cultivate intimacy with reality, and let grace and practice transform ordinary suffering into growth.
Hanna is a spiritual mentor and creative consultant who has been initiated in a classical Shakta tantric tradition since 2015. She does all of her work through the philosophy of the great tradition and through the grace of her guru, and yet she is also a very multifaceted person with a lot of different interests. She's also an artist and a writer and a cook, a self-described poet, scientist, a relationship nerd, and a human design enthusiast.
Her ultimate goal is to orient people towards the mysterious and awe-inspiring power of grace. Her second runner-up is helping people to remember who they really are in this incarnation and the work that they're meant to do as brilliant individual undulations within the sea of consciousness.
