Join The Circle
Weekly transmissions for those walking the alchemical path
This isn't a newsletter. It's a practice container. Each week, you'll receive one teaching and one practice from the Narrative Alchemy Codex—real tools for rewriting the stories that shape your reality.
What You'll Receive
- Weekly practices that move beyond insight into actual transformation. Not theory—actionable exercises you can do immediately.
- Teachings on the alchemical cycle: Nigredo (seeing your scripts), Albedo (releasing what isn't yours), Citrinitas (igniting agency), and Rubedo (embodiment).
- Deep dives into archetypal patterns like the Victim, the Martyr, the Wounded Healer—and how to recognize when they're running your life.
- Tools from depth psychology, chaos magic, and narrative coaching that work whether you see them as "real magic" or powerful method.
- Guidance on working with the imaginal realm—the actual workshop where stories are constructed and transformation happens.
- Prompts for journaling and circle work that help you document your own alchemical process.
- Early access to new Codex chapters as they're released, plus invitations to community circles.
Your First Four Weeks
Welcome & First Practice
Introduction to narrative alchemy and your first exercise: identifying the story you're currently living and asking if it's the one you want to keep.
Stories as Technology
Understanding how narratives construct reality, not just describe it. Practice: tracing one recurring pattern back to its origin.
The Alchemical Cycle
Introduction to the four stages of transformation that structure all narrative alchemy work. Practice: mapping how your chosen pattern limits you.
The Imaginal Realm
Learning to work in the space where transformation actually happens. Practice: your first active imagination exercise.
Sample Email: Week 5
Subject: How to release what you've been carrying
You've spent four weeks in the nigredo. Seeing your shadow. Examining the Victim archetype. Creating your Story Inventory. Naming the myth you've been unconsciously living.
If you've actually been doing the practices, you're sitting with a lot of uncomfortable awareness right now. You can see patterns you couldn't see before. Stories that have been running your life are now visible.
That's exactly where you need to be.
But awareness alone doesn't liberate you. You can see a limiting story clearly and still be controlled by it. You can name your myth and still enact it automatically.
Transformation requires something more than insight. It requires ritual...

Is This For You?
This is for you if:
- You sense your current story is too small for who you're becoming
- You're ready to look at shadow material most people avoid
- You want practices, not just insight
- You're willing to question your deepest assumptions
- You're resourced enough to do deep work
- You're ready to take responsibility for authoring your life
This isn't for you if:
- You're in acute mental health crisis
- You want someone to fix you
- You're looking for quick fixes or positive thinking
- You're not willing to actually do the practices
- You want a guru rather than a guide
- You prefer consuming content to engaging transformation
