Dear friend, I recently recorded a video on “The Alchemy of the Heart,” which you can watch here:>>Access the short video webinar on The Alchemy of the Heart hereDuring the webinar, we’ll explore:- The importance of taking time each day to attune to the images, feelings, and other living messages that are reaching out from the soul- How metaphors and images from the alchemical tradition can help us on our unique journeys of individuation and healing- Bringing awareness and compassion to those parts of us that may have an unconscious investment in keeping things the way they are- How our deepest emotional vulnerabilities and sensitivities are unique passageways into the soulIn this free short webinar, I speak about the nature of healing through the varied lenses of the alchemical imagination, relational neuroscience, meditative awareness, and depth and somatic psychologies.Each of these doorways provide a series of perspectives and practices through which we can come to know who we are as open, sensitive, relational human beings, with bodies and feelings that can sometimes shatter and hurt.But it is in the core of this shattering, inside the shards of the heart and fragmented pieces of the soul that the mysteries of healing are to be found. It is inside the wound that the tincture is flowing. The ancient alchemists — our friends on the journey — referred to the illumination arising out of the darkness as the scintilla, or the sparks of light.Healing may never look quite like we expected or imagined – it’s just too wild and untamed for all that. It requires that we question the status quo of the culture and shift our perception outside the intergenerational matrices of collectivity and trance.Photo by Colin Watts
