Lead to Gold

The alchemical transmutation of lead into gold is an archetypal expression of dense and heavy material being lifted into a higher purpose and function.

This meditation offers a window into how this process of transformation can be achieved with the content of our life’s experiences.

    “Ariel has been a pleasure to work with. His kind, soft, and deep presence is always felt throughout the entirety of the sessions. And while the sessions have been quite safe and gentle, the results I have experienced have been transformational. The thing I value the most is his ability to quickly and skillfully tune into me personally as I am, find the edges of my current comfort zone and bring me right to them to explore together. This has cut through any noise and gotten straight into the good stuff. I would highly recommend anyone looking for support and/or growth to work with Ariel!”

    “I’ve had one session with Ari so far, and it came at just the right time for me. A shift I’d been struggling to put into action for years clicked into place and I’m looking forward to working together more to unravel the rest of the pattern. I appreciated Ari’s somatic approach, gentle presence, and calm demeanour. I left our session feeling a stronger sense of internal resource to draw upon.” — Chris S.

    "Ariel is attentive, humorous, uplifting and inspiring to be with which. This makes therapy feel more exciting to go to knowing that a genuine therapeutic relationship is building to resolve trauma and feel more embodied. He helped me heal my addictions and close relationships and unhealthy patterns. He shines light on the dark in the most caring, graceful way. I highly recommend experiencing and receiving the powerful support he offers.”

    “Ari has a really artful way of questioning and framing ideas. He helped me gain perspective on a patterned situation in a really different way that brought me a fresh mindset and excitement to explore something that is normally very difficult for me. His kindness, gentle way of relating, and considerable nature make for a safe space to share vulnerably and explore possibility.”
