The Alchemy of Self | Components of Connection with Marcos Patchett and Anita Brulee
And what actually is Sacred Leadership?
“We are like Mercury, Sulphur and Salt”
Marcos Patchett
In this conversation I got to connect with Marcos Patchett, author of The Secret Life of Chocolate and Anita Brulee. What originally started as a meeting to introduce our Dragon x Cacao Retreat ended up being an insightful and funny conversation about shamanic journeying, plant knowledge and sacred leadership.
I hope you enjoy this very spontaneous a chat about dissociation vs connection and the alchemy of self!
We talk about what is natural and that even being on camera requires of us to come away from our natural state. Marcos shares probably the most important - and completely neglected! - point about cacao - and working with any plant , really. Anita is sharing how shamanic practices help us towards manifesting our dreams and co-create our life in a magical way .
And I talk about what you all have been wanting to hear: What does Sacred Leadership actually mean? And why everyone should step up as a sacred leader.
“We need to redefine leadership roles because the way this world is led right now will only lead to more destruction and a world we want to escape from. Which is also the danger of spiritual practices when we are approaching them from a disconnected, unrooted way of being; It will only lead to more dissociation which we already have enough in the form of substance abuse, social media and entertainment distraction.” Laura Durban
Marcos Patchett, author of "The Secret Life of Chocolate" is not only experienced in all things cacao but also a professional herbalist and astrologer. Joined by shaman and chocolatier Anita Brulee and mythopoetic alchemist and leadership mentor Laura Durban this trio embarks on an adventure to Wales and invites you to join the Quest to fulfillment and a magical life!
Towards the end, Marcos lectures us about the chemical alchemy which symbolises the alchemy of Mind, Spirit and Body (and astrologically perfectly describes me, Anita and him in our essence).
