Two people. The book. Ninety minutes.

This is the Shams and Rumi format — the direct meeting of two fields, unmediated, nowhere to hide. What is alive between you has been organising your interaction without your knowledge. This session makes it visible and works it all the way through to gold.

Offered as a single session or as a series for those in sustained creative, professional, or relational work together.

Four to twelve people. The same four stages. A larger, wilder field.

When more fields enter the room the alchemy becomes more complex and in some ways more powerful. What surfaces in a group session often names something that everyone present has been carrying without knowing others were carrying it too. The inner tremor that arises when old narratives collapse, and the first signals of a new consciousness begin to stir  — in a group, that tremor becomes collective intelligence.

Particularly powerful for creative collectives, leadership teams at inflection points, communities forming around shared work, and gatherings that want depth rather than content.

The public fire

The Live Alchemy offered as a live event, an evening, a half-day, or as the opening and closing ritual for a larger gathering.

The book enters every event as the third presence. It is opened at random at each stage, not as a text to be discussed but as a living intelligence that knows things about the field in the room that the people in it cannot yet see. It is an invitation to alchemise crisis into clarity and fracture into a fertile beginning.  In a room full of people who have each survived their own winter, that invitation lands differently than it does on the page.

Event formats include an evening session for up to fourthy, a half-day intensive for up to twenty, and The Opening Ritual — Living Alchemy as the first and last act of a conference or retreat, setting the quality of field that everything else will build from.
