#39 Lorie Eve Dechar and Benjamin Fox on Inner Alchemy, Archetypes, and Fulfilling Destiny

Inner Alchemy is about transforming emotional lead into gold – not just healing, but braving the darkness to find the divine purpose and light of life. This is the weighty material that Lorie Eve Dechar, Benjamin Fox and I discuss in the laboratory of this episode as we forge a kindred-like bond.

Lorie and Benjamin are not just professional practitioners and teachers of inner alchemy, they also live it to their core. Alone and together they have mined their wounds for glints of gold, and their transformations have become priceless resources for their widespread teaching.

In this episode we excavate heartrending childhood trauma, examine many subtleties of relationships, and begin to pick apart the role of archetypes. We also deeply explore the concepts of life purpose and destiny and how we can carry on with integrity even when we lack clarity of our mission.

“So in a sense that is what virtue is for me: alignment of word and deed, and alignment of heaven and earth within me.”

— Lorie Eve Dechar

Benjamin and Lorie are co-founders of A New Possibility, a learning and healing community where they help people develop a conscious relationship to their inner life. Benjamin is an astrologer and community builder, while Lorie is a renowned acupuncturist and author of three books, having co-authored the third, The Alchemy of Inner Work, with Benjamin. These two have so many gems to offer, and here we only scratch the surface of astrology and dream work, areas of their expertise that we will put under the microscope in future episodes.

Get ready to have your consciousness stirred in this episode of Salish Wolf with Lorie Eve Dechar and Benjamin Fox.
