alchemy

started 2 new workshops - both changing my life.
isn't that what this is all about?

alchemy.

i chose the alchemist card in an archetype exercise we were doing in Victoria's workshop.
in Heather's workshop, i met a man in class who i was so instantly drawn to, i don't know what to make of it yet. my work in the class is evolving into themes of the moon, the ocean, my period.

have to come up with 30-60 seconds of material for Victoria's class. not sure what to do yet.

thinking about sex a lot these days, especially in relationship to spirituality and healing.
sacred prostitution, courtesans...
talking about alchemy, i realized that in addition to The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho also wrote 11 Minutes which is one of my absolute favorite books - about a prostitute named Maria and her journey into finding love. i'll never forget the scene where she has a spontaneous orgasm just standing in the street.

i want to read that book again.
