Tea and Smoke Readings

Happy Monday, Beauty!

We hear a lot about divination, but there are also a lot of misconceptions around this art form. Today you will learn more from an amazing diviner and artist, Rissa Miller, who works with divination in ways you may have never heard of or seen before. Rissa holds a deep reverence for plants and the answers they offer, whether as tasseographs in a teacup, smoke in the air, a healing salve for the skin, a plant on the windowsill, or nourishment for the body. She's also a published author and poetess and has had several plays produced in the mid-Atlantic area.

Find Rissa leading ghost tours or giving history talks at her job with Maryland History Tours, or learn about her work as a food editor at Vegan Journal. In her career, she’s worked for five publications and studied writing at New York University/Tisch School of the Arts and photojournalism at Western Kentucky University. Rissa currently studies clinical herbalism (online) at Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine and Herbal Academy, concurrently. Learn more about her work at http://teaandsmoke.com

How Your Body's Talking

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Today you will start listening to how your body’s talking, as you learn about Human Design and overall wellness, with Hope Pedraza. Hope started in the wellness space with her studio, inBalance, because she wanted to create a space for women to find everything they were looking for in one convenient location. After running her studio for a bit, Hope realized that the only way to give women the comprehensive experience she wanted them to have in her studios was to complete the wellness equation, and that was to combine exercise with nutrition.

Hope quickly learned as a nutrition coach that basic nutrition coaching wasn’t enough for people. The ladies she was working with were dealing with issues that they were just attributing to the “regular parts of aging” or that just losing some weight or body fat would help, but Hope knew this wasn’t the case. There were women who were dealing with chronic hormonal imbalances, joint pain and stiffness, chronic gut issues, thyroid issues and so many more things that were causing them to feel less than their healthiest selves. This led Hope to pursue a diploma in Holistic Nutrition, as well as complete her certification as an FDNP and other advanced trainings and certifications in blood chemistry.

Coffee, Comedy and Knowing You Can

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Today’s episode is a unique one. I had an opportunity to sit with someone who you might not think of as a traditional healer, and yet their line of work is tremendously healing. Trenton Hudson is a cartoonist, entrepreneur, and comedian. Best known for making cartoons as part of The Hudson Brothers, he has worked with the likes of Comedy Central, Showtime, and LOL Network, among others.

Trenton is also an award-winning entrepreneur who founded KORMA, a coffee company that makes coffee from roasted date seeds as a healthy alternative. One of the best quotes Trenton shared in this discussion points to what you will feel and be inspired by throughout our conversation, “You don’t have to know how, you just have to know you can.”

Be sure to check out Trenton’s work, With All Due Respect, on YouTube, @riotcomedy – you can also follow him on IG under the same handle. Then pop over to order some date-seed coffee at https://kormacafe.com/

Truly Create a Life You Love!

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Listen, this is not another typical conversation about mindset. Today you will hear from a phenomenal energy healer, who provides practical ways for you to actually, truly, change your mind to change your life! Brandi Mechele found herself with all of the money she needed and yet she still felt a sense of emptiness. Her corporate achievements weren't the fulfilling answer she thought they would be. The checklist left her disappointed. As someone obsessed with success, personal development, and the intersection between the two, Brandi developed B.A.S.E. for herself, a unique process which is foundational to living in your purpose. It centers around Beliefs, Alignment (Vibrational), Self-Awareness, and Emotions. This process allowed her to more easily align with the life of her dreams while having more ease and flow from day to day.

For five years, Brandi was patient zero, living and breathing B.A.S.E. Now, she is bringing her transformative process to all high-achieving people. Today, Brandi is an intuitive & happiness coach who currently spends her time guiding others and facilitating energy healing with a focus on building the subconscious capacity. She has extensive experience working with high-achieving female entrepreneurs, helping them align with financial success while staying true to their values and purpose.

Mayan Astrology and Tantra

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Today you will meet Fatih Keçelioğlu, Mayan Astrologer and Tantra Coach. I learned so much in this conversation, and I’m sure you will too. Fatih Keçelioğlu was born and raised in Turkey. Holding a BA in Sociology, one of Fatih's passions is connecting with different knowledge, traditions, and people from different world geographies. On one of his travels in 2004, he found something that changed his life forever – something that opened his eyes and allowed him to see beyond this physical world; it was the wisdom of the ancient Mayan calendars. He has been researching, understanding, and feeling Mayan astrology, while providing spiritual guidance since then.

While evolving on his spiritual path, another area of life was still problematic. After losing multiple girlfriends and suffering painful heartbreaks, Fatih decided to make a change in his life…and he found Tantra. Today, as a Tantra coach, Fatih helps clients mature in their masculinity and overcome low self-esteem related to poor sexual performance. Check out Fatih’s work, including his book, Sacred Teachings of Mayan Astrology, at http://mymayansign.com

You hear a lot about how to change your life, but how is your relationship to you key? Today you’ll meet the founder of Meditating Human, Tiffany Antoine.

Star Nation Reiki

Hello, Alchemist!

Today is all about Reiki…Star Nation Reiki, with Marie Morohoshi. A daughter of immigrants, Marie is a queer nisei (second generation Japanese American) activist and Reiki-Master Teacher. Marie’s deep affinity for ceremony and nature was seeded at the age of six when she began her rigorous training in Chado (The Way of Tea) and Kado (The Way of Flowers), practices rooted in Japanese Zen Buddhism. These practices and many others that followed would lead to the cumulative effect that informs her current Reiki practice, ways of teaching and being in the world. Drawn to restoring deep reverence and relationship with nature, Marie feels most alive when she brings traditional and ancestral ways of healing together in the context of nature and ceremony. 

Marie feels most of today’s human and planetary suffering stems from its forgotten inherent relationship with the natural world and all things sacred. She contributes in whatever small way she can to restore balance to the world within her reach, including through sacred activism. 

You can contribute to Marie’s scholarship for future queer, trans and BIPOC healers at https://bit.ly/gofundme888 Then learn more about Marie’s work at http://starnationreiki.com and IG @starnationreiki

Growing in Reiki

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Beyond a technique, Reiki is an energy, the expression of life force that animates all living things. Once you become aware of this essence that IS, what begins to happen to you and your life experience?

Ifetayo White, founder of The Lowcountry School of Reiki, joins us today to share her beautiful experiences of growing in, through and with Reiki.

Ifetayo graduated from Howard University in 1967, and after working as a Russian translator, and for a non-partisan office in the U.S. House of Representatives, her heart compelled her to offer touch healing. Subsequently she became certified in reflexology, Jin Shin Do Acupressure and eventually massage therapy, all the while continuing to study meditation practices, intuitive development, metaphysics, world religions, and traditional spiritual and shamanic practices.

In 1995 Ifetayo became attuned Reiki I and II; and was initiated as a Usui Reiki Master Teacher in 1999. In February 2020 she was attuned Shinpiden Reiki III by Frans Steine of the International House of Reiki. Ifetayo has continued to share sessions in-person and remotely, and teach and nurture students since her first attunements almost 30 years ago. She also continues to facilitated numerous Reiki in-person and virtual workshops and healing retreats. The Reiki BE Membership Community on Patreon is her newest offering the greater Reiki community. Ifetayo is currently working on a book in collaboration with contributions from the diverse community of Reiki Master Teachers. Learn more about her work at http://IfetayoWhite.co

Reiki for BIPOC

Happy Monday, Alchemist!

Today you will meet the founder of One People Toronto, Sheena Ewan. We discuss the benefits and necessity of healing spaces for BIPOC, even within the Reiki community. In 2019, Sheena was guided by her Ancestors to open OnePeopleTO, Toronto's Decolonizing Wellness & Spiritual Sanctuary to address the economic and racial disparities in wellness options and non-denominational spirituality: http://onepeopleto.ca . In 2020, after completing a Post-Integration Training with Fluence Psychedelic Training, Sheena began trip-sitting, guiding psychedelic ceremonies, and working with other organizations to bring an inter-sectional lens to psychedelic medicine.

Sheena has worked in a university setting for almost a decade where she has been invited to facilitate workshops on Reiki and mindfulness for students, staff, and faculty. Sheena speaks on Reiki, spirituality, faith, trust, and psychedelic medicine from a healing perspective, as well as processing tools and techniques like reiki, astrology, and creativity at national and international speaking events, conferences, and retreats.

By actively healing her own incestual and racial trauma, Sheena is skilled at holding space for those who are moving through their own transformation. She encourages clients to take healing into their hands by becoming an expert in their own mental/emotional & physical bodies to foster an empowered relationship with traditional healthcare models. This often means exploring and honoring their inner life and past experiences to build resilience and redefine the lens through which they see the world.
