Trumpet Vine flower essence in the making...

Here in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is at its peak. The sun is blazing, the blooms are bursting, and it's the perfect moment to create a flower essence from the plants that speak to you.

Flower essences are distinct from herbal remedies or essential oils ... they’re sunlight-infused soul medicine, made with intention and the vital life force of blooming plants.

Curious how to make one yourself? We’ve got a step-by-step guide (and a whole lot more!) waiting for you in our Free Explorer Membership → Dive into The Flower Essence Article in the Foundations of Alchemical Healing section and join a community of people dedicated to exploring the interface of inner work and outer change.

HIDDEN ARROW:
Attention Theft + the Restoration of the Heart’s Sovereignty
A powerful Alchemical Healing and Acu-Alchemy experience with

Our attention is not a commodity that can be bought by the highest bidder but rather the precious expression of our Heart's connection to the Divine and the guiding light of Tao.

Acupuncture, Taoist philosophy, depth psychology, ancient alchemy, and plant spirit medicine have much practical wisdom as well as powerful tools to offer us as we seek to find the balance between Heart protection and Heart-centered engagement in the healing of our world.

Join Lorie Tuesday, June 24 @ 4pm ET for this Fire Season AcuSpeak as she explores how we can clear our Heart’s of intrusive energies, protect the sanctity of our attention and bring our inner Monarchs back to their authentic sovereignty.

Bring your clinical cases, your spiritual longings, your wonderings, conundrums and dreams.
Let’s gather around the alchemical fire of our collective knowing and discover the new possibilities coming to life in these tumultuous times.

🜃 INNER HEALING CIRCLE: THURSDAY, JUNE 12 @ 7PM ET 🜃
Topic: Alchemical Dialogue + A New Possibility

What happens when we move beyond the limits of black-and-white thinking and meet each other from the heart—in real time, in the mystery, in the now?

We call this kind of meeting Alchemical Dialogue—a living conversation rooted in deep listening, emergent intelligence, and sacred presence. This is not small talk. It’s not a debate. It’s not a TED Talk. It’s a collective tuning-in that makes space for the unseen, the unspoken, and the new.

This month in the Inner Healing Circle, we’ll begin to practice this form of dialogue together. You don’t need to know how to do it. You just need to be willing to be in it—with your body, your heart, and your curiosity.

✨ If you’ve felt the pull to explore a new way of being in community, now’s the time.
✨ If you’ve watched the Integral Chinese Medicine Collective (ICMC) recordings with and felt a deeper current running through them—you’re already sensing what’s possible.
✨ If you want to help birth something truer in a world of noise—this is your invitation.

📥 DM us for the Zoom link to join.
Let’s step into the mystery—together.

Her wisdom? 🔥 “Stay seated in the self.”
Her inspiration? Wu wei — the art of doing by not doing.
Her invitation? Shine in your full humanity.

✨ Kate, we’re grateful for the steady devotion and personal integrity you bring to this work.

🌟 April Member Spotlight: Denise Cicuto 🌟

We are so honored to shine this month’s Alchemical Healing Professional Member spotlight on someone who’s been weaving magic with us for nearly a decade — Denise Cicuto. ✨

Denise is an acupuncturist, herbalist, priest, photographer & a true activist-healer. She’s been with us since 2016 & she brings all the things to our Mighty Network: wisdom, creativity, commitment, heart & some serious archetypal insight.

💥 She's also a fierce advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive freedom, BIPOC communities & people living with HIV/AIDS — merging healing & justice in the most grounded, powerful ways.

Her work includes: 🌱 Her healing practice in Alameda + San Francisco
📸 Her stunning photography
👶 Spirit Babies Pregnancy Loss Ceremonies
📚 Her evergreen course on our platform: Justice, Restivism + Chinese Medicine
🔮 The Kuan Yin Oracle Deck
📖 Book clubs on our Mighty Network (new one coming soon!)

At our Inner Healing Circle on Thursday, April 17 @ 7pm ET, we will be talking about the healing potential in "The World of Archetypes." We asked Denise what role archetypes play in her personal and/or professional life.

Her response:

"I look to the archetypes of the Five Elements in my own life as well as the Tarot, the I Ching, astrology, and gods and goddesses. I often call upon different archetypes for support, guidance, or inspiration. I talk to my patients about the Five Elements as archetypes to help them understand the cycles of nature within and without. I talk about acupuncture points as archetypes with them sometimes as well."
