Vive is a transformative health process rooted in remembering who we are and how we are naturally designed to be Healthy, Whole, Holy Human Beings

VIVE ALCHEMY

  • What if we recognized health as a gift to be experienced? Would we start asking new questions? Like...

    Aren’t you exhausted by all the hacks, tips, tricks, advice, and endless streams of workout videos?

    Aren’t you curious if this continual tsunami of information might be a massive distraction keeping us from awakening to who we are, and how we’re naturally designed to honor and strengthen our health by simply practicing the basics ?

    How many times will we be told to repeat the same diets, workouts, and regurgitate the same recycled information that denies our demands, desires, and design as sacred human beings?

    BUT… How do we get off the treadmill of insanity?

    How do we begin again?

    Who can we trust?

    What will it take to break free from this cycle of doing the same things over and over while hoping for a different outcome?

    Where do we go to acknowledge our fear and grief, and satisfy our hunger for real connection?

    Maybe, we start by asking these and many other questions because there is a really good chance we are stuck, confused, and overwhelmed.

    The first thing we ask you to do in Vive is ‘Create the Space’. Questions can create the space we need to squeeze through the recommendations that do not seem to end. Perhaps, one of my favorite ways to ‘Create the Space’ happens when I reach a point and I say “NO MORE” and mean it. Saying “NO” is extremely effective in making room to move even if you are not sure where you are going.

    Vive Alchemy is very much a place where we come together and hold space for each other to ask questions, say no and say yes to nurturing what is good, true, excellent and beautiful in ourselves and others.

  • “Connection is Health. And what our society does its best to disguise from us is how ordinary, how commonly attainable, health is. We lose our health - and create profitable diseases and dependences - by failing to see the direct connections between living and eating, eating and working, working and loving.”

    Wendell Berry

  • There is no restoration without rest. There is no rest without order.

  • Our first step towards recovering our health will be to simply create the space to Breathe, Listen, Ask, Look, Touch© our sacred connection to Life.

  • “What does our health need? To see things whole, to see things clearly, to see things with sanctity, to see things with love.”

    Wendell Berry

  • “Driven by fashion, death, and bad science, the desire for more overrides completely the idea of a home or home place or home economy or home community. The desire for quantity replaces desire for wholeness or holiness or health. The sense of right proportion scale cannot survive the loss of the sense of relationship, of the parts to one another into the whole. The result, inevitably, is ugliness, violence and waste.”

    Wendell Berry

  • “The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life."

    Wendell Berry
