Alchemy
Each of us is born knowing perfect wholeness. Over the course of our lives, we undergo a necessary, albeit painful, forgetting. We experience separation from our original state & come to believe that separation to be the truth.
In an alchemical process, what we've lost in the story of separation is reclaimed. When we courageously enter into the painful places of our heartbreak & let ourselves be touched there, we enter the realm of practical magic. Because this is the thing about alchemy: it's what wants to happen. It's already written. We simply need to cease resistance & let the transformation occur.
Such is the work we will undertake on the dance floor together. The body is the original alchemist & by surrendering ourselves to its wisdom, we cannot help but restore ourselves to wholeness. In dancing with what is, what is becomes pure gold.
