SESSION ONE – September 17th

Dropping into the Field Together: Embodied Presence and the Ground of Not-Knowing

In a time of profound collective transition, many of us are feeling called inward – to listen more deeply, to tend to what’s unresolved in the heart and body, and to reimagine what it means to heal, to awaken, and to truly come alive.

In this live remembrance with one another, we’ll illuminate, hold, and turn into the living territory of your own direct experience – where the wisdom of the nervous system, the mystery of the soul, and the depth of the imaginal come together in the alchemical vessel of your life.

Rooted in the poetic lineage of depth psychology, somatic inquiry, contemplative practice, and trauma healing, this talk is both a map and an invitation: to slow down, listen, and return to the sacredness of your own embodied presence, the sacred ground of your life, as it is.

What We’ll Explore Together:

• How to shift from overthinking, self-improvement, and “fixing” into a healing rooted in presence, relationship, and trust
• The nervous system as an oracle of integration, and how trauma can become a gateway to wholeness
• Why we can’t heal through thought alone – and the necessity of embodiment and the here-and-now
• The shadow as an unconscious ally – and how the unseen parts of us seek our warmth, not our judgment
• The soul’s path of descent and return: how the alchemical traditions illuminate our journey through grief, beauty, rupture, and rebirth
• How contemplative practice, inner dialogue, and relational attunement open portals to the sacred
• A redefinition of trauma as “unmetabolized emotional experience that never found a relational home” – and why that changes everything
• Practices and perspectives to meet your experience with more depth, compassion, and reverence

SESSION TWO – SEPTEMBER 24th

Somatic Reweaving: The Body as Oracle, Guide, and Gatekeeper of Transformation

In this session, we explore the deep terrain of trauma – not as a pathology to be fixed, but as a sacred invitation into the heart of transformation. Trauma is not just a psychological wound; it is a somatic and spiritual fragmentation, a breaking open of the psyche that, when held with care, can lead us into profound healing and the rediscovery of our innate wholeness.

We’ll journey into the mysterious realm of implicit memory, where our earliest and most formative experiences reside – not as stories, but as felt patterns in the body and nervous system. Through this lens, healing becomes less about “fixing” ourselves and more about cultivating a presence that allows these exiled parts to return home. This is the path of inner alchemy, where grief, sensitivity, and even disorientation are not obstacles – but essential elements of the process.

Together, we will explore how safety, slowness, and embodied curiosity create the inner conditions for integration – where the soul’s forgotten fragments, once lost in time, are retrieved and welcomed back into the sanctuary of presence.

What We’ll Explore Together:

• The alchemical view of trauma: from fragmentation to sacred re-membering
• How early experiences shape our nervous system and perception of reality
• Implicit memory and why insight alone is not enough to heal
• Cultivating inner conditions of safety and presence that invite the lost self home
• The vital role of relationship, resonance, and attunement in the healing process
• Working with grief, sensitivity, and regulation as portals to soul retrieval
• Embracing disorientation as an essential aspect of spiritual emergence

SESSION THREE – OCTOBER 1st

The Alchemy of the Unfelt: How the Body Holds What the Mind Can’t, and the Quiet Revolution of Turning Toward It

We live in a time of profound forgetting – of the body, of the soul, and of the ancient pathways of integration that once honored the full spectrum of human experience: the beautiful, the broken, the silent, the unfelt.

In this immersive session, we’ll explore a fresh and embodied vision of transformation – one that does not pathologize trauma or rush us toward healing, but instead invites us into a deep reverence for the nervous system, the shadow, and the sacred intelligence that lives inside unintegrated experience.

Together, we’ll slow down and enter the somatic temple of what has not yet been held – those undigested emotions, psychic fragments, and lost parts of ourselves that long not to be “fixed,” but met. Drawing on depth psychology, relational neuroscience, meditative presence, and poetic soul inquiry, we’ll ask: what if integration is less about getting rid of pain, and more about creating a home for what was once too much to bear?

What We’ll Explore Together:

• What it really means to “heal” or “integrate” from a nervous system and soul-based perspective
• Why trauma is not in the event, but in what the body was unable to process – and how this lives on in us
• The critical role of attunement and relational safety in metabolizing overwhelming experience
• How undigested emotions are stored in the body, and how they may surface as symptoms, projections, or enactments
• The somatic unconscious, or “shadow-body,” where the unlived life is stored
• How to access and articulate buried experience so it can be transformed – not conceptually, but alchemically
• The difference between self-regulation and co-regulation, and why we’re not meant to do this alone
• Why presence, slowness, and compassion are more effective than rushing to heal
• Practices for turning toward the unfelt with curiosity, rather than urgency

SESSION FOUR – OCTOBER 8th

The Sacred Wound: Trauma, Transformation, and the Alchemy of the Heart

Welcoming the Wound as Teacher and Tending the Shattered Soul

In this session, we enter the hidden terrain where wounding becomes initiation, and the broken places in us reveal their secret radiance. Far from being obstacles on the path, our heartbreak, trauma, grief, and relational wounding are often the very portals through which the soul makes its descent into embodied wholeness. Drawing on alchemical imagery, attachment theory, depth psychology, and contemplative traditions, we’ll explore how the wound – when met with presence and reverence – becomes a vessel of transmutation.

Together, we’ll reflect on how early trauma and unresolved emotional pain are not only clinical issues but spiritual ones, shaping the way we relate to love, to the divine, to our bodies, and to each other. This is a session about death and rebirth, dissolution and renewal, and the mystery of becoming fully human through the cracks in our identity. With care and nuance, we’ll explore the necessity of grief, the intelligence of neuroplasticity, and the need for a trauma-informed spirituality that honors the fierce tenderness of the human journey.

Topics We’ll Explore:

• The initiatory function of relational and developmental wounding

• Grief as a forgotten portal in the alchemical process of transformation

• The downward path of spiritual maturation: soulwork, dissolution, and the lunar descent

• The limitations of bypassing and the shadow side of transcendence

• Trauma and attachment wounding as spiritual, somatic, and archetypal experiences

• The interplay of the dark night, the alchemical putrefactio, and the emergence of soul

• The importance of a relational and trauma-informed approach to spiritual practice

• Revisiting practices of self-compassion, co-regulation, and embodied presence

• The role of neuroplasticity in rewiring the pathways of shame, self-abandonment, and disconnection

• Creating a vessel for integration: gathering the shattered pieces and honoring the unlived life

SESSION FIVe – OCTOBER 15th

The Alchemy of the Wounded Healer: How Unlived Experience Becomes Soul Medicine and the Gateway to Spiritual Depth

In this session, we explore the transformative alchemy that arises from the wounds we carry – wounds that often remain unlived, unprocessed, and hidden deep within our bodies and unconscious minds. These disowned parts of ourselves may manifest through projection, enactment in relationships, or somatic symptoms that speak a silent language of unresolved pain.

Through compassionate presence and inner attunement, we open to the possibility that these wounds are not simply suffering to endure, but gateways to deeper healing and spiritual awakening. The archetype of the wounded healer reveals how our personal trauma is intimately connected to the sacred path of transformation and soul retrieval.

By bridging psychological insight with contemplative practice, this session offers a profound invitation to integrate shadow material, tend to the embodied dimensions of trauma, and awaken the healing capacities of the soul, revealing the wound as a source of light, wisdom, and spiritual initiation.

In This Session, We’ll Explore:

• How unlived emotional experience expresses itself through projection, enactment, and somatic symptoms
  
• The body as a living container and messenger for disowned trauma and unintegrated feeling
  
• The archetype of the wounded healer as a guide to spiritual initiation through personal and collective wounding
  
• The deep interweaving of psychological healing and spiritual transformation
  
• Practices for cultivating inner attunement and compassionate presence as pathways to integration
  
• How relational dynamics reveal unconscious patterns and open portals for healing
  
• Ways contemplative and somatic approaches can help metabolize and integrate shadow material
  
• The wound itself as a sacred threshold – into soul, meaning, and awakening

SESSION SIX – OCTOBER 22ND

The Yoga of Relationship

An Alchemical Journey Through Attachment, Intimacy, and the Soul’s Relational Pathway

In this session, we explore the often-overlooked temple of modern transformation: the relational field. While meditation, therapy, and solitude are essential elements of inner work, it is in the intimate space between self and other that our deepest wounding — and most profound healing — often arises.

Drawing on the wisdom of depth psychology, somatic psychotherapy, attachment theory, and contemplative practice, we enter the terrain of what we might call “relational yoga.” This is the practice of staying close to the body when triggered, honoring need without collapse, and recognizing the sacred friction that arises when we let someone truly matter to us.

Through teaching, reflection, and two guided practices, we’ll open to the alchemy of relationship — not as a distraction from the spiritual path, but as one of its most luminous expressions.

In This Session, We’ll Explore:

• The nervous system’s role in relational wounding and healing
  
• Attachment styles as embodied survival strategies, not pathologies
  
• The core polarity of connection and autonomy, and how each gets disowned
  
• The unconscious patterns of pathological accommodation and compulsive self-reliance
  
• How the inner “Other” appears in dreams, projections, and the body
  
• What it means to engage relationship as soul practice, not self-improvement
  
• Why intimacy, rupture, and repair are sacred alchemical processes
  
• A vision of earned secure attachment as a path of devotion and re-enchantment
