The process of turning inner metaphorical lead into gold in everyday life requires various stages of growth and self-development.

In a worldly context, many of these experiences can be difficult to navigate alone. Identifying each stage helps us become aware of where we are in the process. It assists us to manage and embrace change with self-compassion and non-judgement.

In philanthropic, development and corporate environments, we carefully consider the reality of being human in the context of daily challenges bringing support, listening and acting as a sounding-board to individuals and organisations as they 'self-alchemise'.

Identifying the context for growth and transformation.

Although our approach is unique in every engagement, the steps below offer a barometer for where we are in the cycle of natural change.

3. SEPARATION
In this stage, we reflect on what stays and what goes. The business or the individuals within them, no longer identify with the structures, patterns or behaviours that resisted growth and impeded performance. Emotional intelligence begins to emerge.

2. CONNECT & RELEASE

Letting go of behaviours that no longer serve takes us out of our comfort zone. Emotions such as disillusionment and resignation are typical markers of this phase. The resulting chaos and lack of clarity forces us to rely on gut instinct to lead the way.

4. POINT OF NO RETURN

Having faced the truth - good and bad, and decided what’s worth keeping. - a more refined, authentic version of each story slowly emerges. This is the halfway point in the journey: amalgamation and reintegration of what has been working all along into something new.

5. FROM REACT TO CREATE

A fresh sense of clarity and purpose is ignited. This builds a firm foundation for performance. Individually our visions are driven by our intuitions, and we are no longer controlled by external narratives. Organisationally, we are less reactive and more creative, no longer using our resources to put out fires.

1. IDENTIFY

To build something new, we must first move beyond the old. In this phase life brings us face-to-face with what's holding us back. It is natural for the ego to be wounded as we take a deep dive into the ideologies and behavioural patterns keeping us stuck. In an organisation, this heralds the first step of change management: revealing whats in the way of the vision.

6. REFINEMENT

Free from obsolete patterns and behaviour, new structures and processes begin to emerge. New pathways of communications, flow and efficiency are enhanced by individual and corporate consciousness.

7. NEW BEGINNINGS

At the point when the gold cools and solidifies a sense of strengthened unity and community emerges. We see the culmination of our efforts all come together - the embodiment of our highest aspirations. This is not the end of our transformation, rather, it is another beginning, as we start the cycle anew in search of ever deeper communion with the connected universe and within ourselves.
