Alchemical Alignment

03/14/2026

Hot tip:
next time you’re feeling
full of yourself,
make a voice recording
for some of the more
difficult somatic states
that tend to recur.
When you’re in alignment,
deeply connected,
what is there to say to that one?
Note your tone of voice.
Note your advice.
Note your embodiment.
Good luck. 💙

Let us know how it goes? Latest feedback was it reads like a story, introduces multidimensionality in an understandable way, and fills in a lot of gaps in people’s understanding of working with the nervous system. And the practitioner skills are an unexpected bonus.

It is so wonderful to use one’s skills and get feedback (even years later) like the email segment just received below… And to be able to share those skills in a solid curriculum. Every class that I attend reinforces my understanding that we’ve got a great curriculum in AlchAlmt.

>>I don’t know if I ever told you that the last time I saw you for a session, I was very activated and strained, just having come back from a kind of strange meditation retreat and not being able to shake something I had been stuck on all my life. After our session, I realized that I was free of being stuck on that thing.
Blessings to you for who you are and all that you do. 🙏

In Latvian, I grew up saying airField instead of airPort. It was eye-opening to find out how much of my language was from before the war, and could be considered outdated. (Tbh, I still like to use some of the older words, they’re beautiful.)

I grew into a person who loves learning about language nuances, having studied bilingual education, and language instruction. An example of nuanced language use in Alchemical Alignment is when teacher Tele Darden advised favoring the term “resonance” instead of “regulation,” considering the bottom up (resonating like musical instruments) and top down (regulus = petty king) meaning difference. (Of course humans need both, but it has become obvious that the more yin one is where we need practice).

I’m very much appreciating that Salyna Cole has a similar ear for word use, and she is teaching our AlchAlmt101 course (you can still join before Class 2, Feb 21).

Kimberly Clark and Joseph Saine - same thing with care re languaging - are both teaching AlchAlmt First Year this year, and Joseph Second Year next year. (You can still join the Montana cohort, early rate until Mar 1).

So honored to be on Team Human with these individuals. 💙

After we attended Milne’s Visionary Craniosacral Classes 1&2 with Frances Carrington, new friend Vinodha Devi brought me on an adventure to a TRE session with teacher Simba Stenqvist, . Appreciated the gentle introduction to a modality that has helped many. Gifted him our book, The Map of Seven Realms, after hearing an intro to Porges’ work, saying the book takes it all a few steps further. Simba right away said he could make it recommended reading for his course. I answered that teachers around the world were doing that. So great to share the powerful news in the book with a wider audience. 🙏

.
White water rafting
is easier with practice.

Marathons are doable
with training.

The Olympics would be
inconceivable, even deadly,
without an investment
of huge amount amounts of focus.

Sessions with
post-traumatic humans,
with security systems
with ongoing “impossible” dynamics
can feel like this,
and pull from the deepest depths
of practitioners...
This can be so depleting,
even re-traumatizing,
Recapitulating early relational fields
and leaving practitioners
empty and symptomatic.
Or at the least,
confused about
why people around them
receive gold,
and they feel like lead inside.

It’s so beautiful to watch practitioners in the Alchemical Alignment training
go through the curriculum
and turn into people
who are proud of themselves
and the way
they are handling sessions.
(And life.)
Such an honor.

The picture is from Montana,
where the next in person training
will happen — a rarity in this day
of finding one’s tribe
around the planet on zoom
(which is also fabulous).

Getting together with people
(the teaching team)
with decades of having refined
touch and attention skills
is such a gift, as well. 💙
