About Turtle Alchemy

Turtle As Teacher

The one who lives a long life traversing both the sunless depths of the oceans and sun drenched lands

We too can learn how to travel skillfully the waters of our inner self and the land that is our outer physical reality.

Their shells are protection, a home they carry with them

We too have the capacity to be our own safe harbours, we too can carry home within us wherever we may find ourselves.

They lean into solitude yet share resources in communal harmony

While we are geared to seek others and live in community, how often do we find ourselves in conflict and friction with them?

We are social creatures by nature, yet often find it difficult to peacefully coexist with others. It is perhaps wise to look to the turtle to see how moments of solitude can offer pause, little pockets of time to self reflect and introspect to gain a deeper sense of self awareness.

This is knowledge that can help us attain a level of inner peace that radiates outwards building gentler, softer, friendlier communities.

Their pace is graceful, powerful and unhurried. Calm

There is much wisdom in a way of life that is calm. It encourages perspective taking, patience and an ability to move with life rather than react to it or feel left behind.

Alchemy: Turning Lead Into Gold

Our human lives are messy, complicated and unruly. It’s hard to keep track of what is going on sometimes. Most times.

Where does one begin to make sense of things?

From right here.

This place that feels like chaos. This smoking bubbling cauldron of unhelpful learned behaviours, unhealthy coping mechanisms, flying tempers, deep wells of sadness, horrific life experiences.

You turn lead into gold. 

With Turtle Alchemy Coaching, what was earlier chaos turns into a well structured pathway.

You start to look within, untangle emotions, face inner demons and befriend those parts of you that you’re scared of, or ashamed of, or never even acknowledged.

You understand your personal power and how to wield it.

You learn helpful strategies customised to your way of being. 

Your life becomes less messy, less complicated and less unruly and more considered, more purposeful and more enticing.   

You alchemise yourself and begin healing.
