Welcome to the Embodied Alchemy Podcast, I’m your host Dominique Cheshire!
Embodied Alchemy started as a way to describe finding empowerment, and has quickly grown into so much more. Embodied Alchemy is about feeling the tough stuff and working through it. It’s about sharing our stories, speaking our truths, and hoping that there;s someone out there who feels it too. We are here together to celebrate our ups and our downs, because the tough stuff is where the magic happens.
My heart is literally bursting with all the amazing stories about to come your way. There are two main themes throughout the embodied alchemy pod.
The first is personal stories of resilience. Athletes, musicians, everyday people in our communities who have come face to face with challenges. Their paths have not been easy, but they all decided to make something beautiful out of the chaos- redirected their energy to a new, beautiful path.
The second is with people who are dancing the line of eastern and western traditional practices. They are curious, intelligent, amazing humans, who I am confident will open up your curiosity too.
Please know that all of these conversations come from a place of love, especially as we’re dealing with intense, potentially triggering topics. If at any time you need to take a break from listening to take care of yourself-please do! You are ALWAYS welcome to reach out to me with any feedback for support.
I would also like to acknowledge that this podcast is recorded primarily in Toronto. I would like to acknowledge the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg ((ah-nish-naw-bek)), the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee ((hoodt-en-oh-show-nee)) and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
