CREATIVE ALCHEMY WITH CHETNA

 


YOU ARE…

  • A high-achieving changemaker

  • Realizing that logic and being so “in your head” are keeping you stuck, overwhelmed or unsatisfied

  • Desiring to connect more with your body and creativity

  • Longing to trust your self and a higher purpose

  • Committed to radical transformation, personally and collectively

  • Ready for something beyond talk therapy, online webinars or trying to “figure it out” on your own

  • Motivated to disrupt patterns of numbing or avoiding parts of yourself in order to “function” in oppressive and misaligned systems

 
 


Why am I here to facilitate this with you?

As a highly vata libra sun, an intellectual, and lover of logic, I know both the superpower and suffering of being stuck in my head.

Peace beloved, it’s Chetna.

I’ve followed a calling to be a therapist though I chose a path outside of licensure. Unlike the narrow systems of rationale that govern value and legitamcy, I cannot deny the Spirit and mysticism in this work. Healing and creativity go far beyond western psychology, individualism and white supremacy. This space is highly therapeutic, cathartic, and transformational, though it’s not “therapy” as it’s regulated or defined in the West.

In our space, we uplift the REALity of your inherited and prosperous creative alchemy ✨ with and in spite of the systems we live in.

  • My intentional decolonizing practice within my profession began when I chose not to get licensed as a therapist under the BBS. My first experience in therapy was when I was living in Cali, Colombia; in this room, we built alters to grieve and release the wounds I carried around my mother, and my therapist's attuned and respectful touch helped me experience spiritual and embodied healing. I also knew that my therapist was going through a divorce, and appreciated connecting human to human, even as she held her integrity as a healer.

    This set the tone for how I see and practice healing, how I use my own humanity, heart and self-disclosure as an important practice for trust, hope and dismantling the

    "expert-patient" hierarchy embedded in white supremacist approaches to therapy.

    My life experiences as a queer creative, immigrant, settler giving reparations, third culture kid, collectivist-raised, divorced South Asian, African, American femme have cultivated my world view and greatly inform my work.

    I'm not for everyone. I work with highly motivated clients who are committed to personal and collective transformation and liberation, and want to live a creative life in accordance with their divine assignment. I've found that when there is alignment, both my client and I know and sense that there's great possibility here.

    I refer anyone else out to trusted therapists/healers in my network who may be in better alignment.

  • From what clients have reported and what I've focused on, you can expect to:

    • Trust more in your self, your body and your intuitive wisdom

    • Protect space for your yin, rest, deep listening and slowness

    • Identify and fortify a guiding force in your life that you believe is greater and more divine than you and your logic

    • Witness and celebrate how divinely favored and supported you are

    • Represent yourself more boldly in various contexts in your life

    • Have difficult conversations with resilience, compassion and confidence

    • Transform your relationships through how you hold yourself and your emotions

    • Play more and engage in your creative pursuits

    • Own and control what you can within your agency, and practice letting go to allow divine forces to work in your favor

    • Interweave experimentation and creativity in your day to day, work and relationships

    • Move more swiftly out of lack, poverty and scarcity mentalities

    • Find strategic and tangible ways to generate wealth in all forms (mentally, physically, financially, emotionally, spiritually)

  • If you’re in the position to invest in high-touch and frequent support across 6 months, the Repository is for you.

    Repository is defined as “a place in which something, especially a natural resource, has accumulated or where it is found in significant quantities.” So in this container, there’s frequency for you to be in graceful accountability to the life-transforming practices and learnings.

    You have support from me between sessions, and from impactful monthly group spaces and resources in The River, so the work deepens and the alchemy expands quickly.

    If flexible support and a lower investment would fit you more, A La Carte sessions are a great option.

    We move together at a pace that suits your preference and capacity. You choose whether you book two or three sessions per month. There’s a three-month minimum to start so as to allow the work its due diligence.

    Also, if you want to bring in a partner, friend, family or comrade to an A La Carte session to help your healing and co-healing, this space is an intentional one to ease conflicting communication and bring new eyes and ears to each other. We can determine frequency with partner sessions in the discovery call or as we meet over time.

  • This system has grown from both modern science, like mindfulness, self-compassion, Somatics, expressive healing arts and CBT, and ancient mystical wisdom like Yoga philosophy and the 7-Chakra system within my lineage.

    The anchoring Realms of Alchemy hold each of us in our full spectrum, from root to crown, and in mind, body, community and Spirit.

    We engage the mind with important and relevant education in biology, psychology, ecology and spiritual frameworks, and through applied practice, play and expression, my clients embody and integrate the education as a way of being in their daily lives.

    The process is adapted to each client. While all the Realms of Alchemy are highly interdependent, we often we start with and continue to fortify the fundamental realms of emotional grace / intelligence, body awareness / somatic tracking, and fierce self-kindness / compassion. We interweave the realms of right relations, self-discipline / devotion, and prosperity consciousness throughout our time together.
