04-02-21 Alchemy of Inner Work: Lorie Dechar & Benjamin Fox
A redefinition of healing that brings the soul back into the conversation and links individual health to the vitality of the world soul—the surrounding community of human and nonhuman beings that make up our world. Alchemical Healing is not meant to be a replacement or even a complement to Western medicine, traditional psychotherapy, or the current symptomatic approach of modern Chinese medicine. Rather, it invites us to leap into a completely different conversation about health. It proposes a new set of values, attitudes, goals, and skills and offers a way to address the nonphysical forms of human distress, the psychic and spiritual imbalances, and disease that are at the root of so much of modern suffering and illness. As my doctor friend says, “What you do doesn’t complement Western medicine, it enhances it.”
Lorie Eve Dechar is an acupuncturist, consciousness explorer and change-maker, committed to bringing the art of alchemy and soul healing back to the modern world. She has practiced Chinese medicine for over three decades and is the author of Five Spirits: Alchemical Acupuncture for Psychological and Spiritual Healing; Kigo: Exploring the Spiritual Essence of Acupuncture Points Through the Changing Seasons; and most recently, The Alchemy of Inner Work. With her husband, astrologer and community builder Benjamin Fox, she co-founded A New Possibility, a global healing and learning community committed to the belief that inner work is a pre-requisite to lasting outer change. https://www.anewpossibility.com
