☯️ [Everyone is Invited] Double the Fire Year 🔥 — A Five Element Friday Celebration ❤️‍🔥


February 19th, 2026

Hello Reader,

The Year of the Fire Horse begins this week! In celebration, we had a wonderful free live Meditation Monday event. Here are a few highlights:

🔥The Fire Horse is one of the rarest combinations in the entire 60-year cycle — Double Fire... double the intensity, yet double the opportunity!

☯️We explored how each of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) will experience this year differently — and what that means for you personally

🧧The difference between a hard year and a beautiful year isn't the year itself — it's whether your doors are open or closed to receive what it's carrying.

The event was so powerful for many of us that attended, that we decided to keep the celebration going this Friday — for those who couldn't make it, and those who just want more.

Friday, February 20th at 5:00pm EST | Live on Zoom — free for everyone

Here's something most people don't know: the Fire Element is already naturally doubled. Every other Element — Wood, Earth, Metal, and Water — has two organs/meridians associated with them. Fire has four! And that's not an accident.

Fire is associated with the Heart, and the Heart is so essential, so alive, so central to everything in Chinese Medicine, that it gets double the representation. This week we're exploring two of those Fire organs — the Heart and the Small Intestine — and what makes them different from the Pericardium we worked with last week.

The Heart is the Emperor: the innermost sanctuary, the empty space at the center of your Heart. The Small Intestine is the Sorter: discerning what's pure and what gets let go. Together they form a kind of inner/outer conversation about how you maintain your authenticity in the world and walk your true destiny path.

In a Double Fire year, understanding your own Fire — and learning to work with it rather than get scorched by it — is everything.

Tonight we'll be guiding everyone through a special Heart Fire meditation. It's the perfect way to step into a year that's asking you to stop holding back.

You don't need any experience to attend. You don't need to know anything about Alchemy or the Five Elements. Just show up and let yourself try it out.

April 23rd, 2026 Hello Reader, Yesterday we left you with a question: What if this is YOUR moment? Today we want to tell you about someone who asked it. She found us through our Inspired Action Alchemy Podcast when was living at her parents' home, surrounded by family responsibilities and expectations — her own and everyone else's. She had a plan: save money, be practical, do the sensible thing first. Then, eventually, she'd get to the life she actually wanted. The meaningful one. The...

April 22nd, 2026 Hello Reader, Why You Matter, For Real This Time...Alchemy is Calling! We think we’re taking care of our responsibilities — the kids, the clients, the partner, the job. Yet the thing we most want for ourselves — the real work, the inner work, the work that comes from our spirit — that’s the thing that keeps getting moved down the to-do list. The thing that people think is hard about Alchemy — until you start doing it — is that it requires us to put ourselves first. And yet,...

Hello Reader, We're emerging out of the Winter's hibernation. For many of us, our "Sinews" have been tight and contracted with less exercise. And now, suddenly, they're being asked to move, stretch, and do things that we need to do! Spring has a way of charging forward! And that movement is asking more of your body's Sinews (the term in Chinese Medicine that includes your tendons, muscles, and ligaments). For many people, the Spring transition doesn't always go so smoothly, and we often see...
