We lit the fire and hope you feel the spark...
By Emily Blefeld, LICSW & Dan Cohen, PhD
It’s Emily here. I’m writing from the Menla Retreat Center where our Alchemical Constellations Training has officially begun. A community of courageous, heart-led souls came together today – some online and some in person – all of them guided by the call of their hearts (with fear, doubt, and “what am I doing” heckling in the background) as they entered the room. This round of the training brought many new people into our community. At the opening, I got a glimpse of who we get to spend the next year with and I’m really excited to get to know each of them (and their ancestors) more deeply. These are incredible people.
I’m reaching out because of you.
As we turned our attention towards the live retreat, multiple applications continued pouring in. There were so many that Dan and I took a moment to tune-in for guidance on how to consciously respond with integrity to the knocks on Seeing with Your Heart’s door. Each application comes from someone with a lineage, history, and intention and with ancestors and soul council who accompanies them. We feel the presence behind every inquiry.
Many of these last-minute movements emerged as you sensed the space being prepared, grounded, and tended by our Alchemy Team for the year ahead.
It felt important to honor the flow and light beaming through and give those of you still finding your way just a few more days to follow your movement. If this is you, this is your moment!
— ANNOUNCING THE ACT VIRTUAL TRACK —
Beginning with an online retreat on May 2 & 3
Registration closes on April 19th
If you have the desire to attend ACT, but could not travel, take time away from work or family, or attend to the logistics of making the dates work, this option is for you.
This virtual track includes everything the regular training offers, outlined below, plus you get to join a dedicated retreat circle for online participants on May 2 & 3. You’ll also receive the recordings from the current live retreat. Please note that you are welcome to attend future retreats in person.
This offering is intended to provide you with a full experience guided by Dan and Emily and a generous welcome from the ACT community who has already begun. It’s time to jump in the river and let the current of love carry you. See here for some of the themes that were present in our opening portal.
For Those Who Want to Know the How
“I’m so grateful that I decided on such an impulsive, last minute moment to sign up for this training never realizing that it could be so life changing. I never imagined myself starting a new career while approaching Retirement but now I see infinite possibilities of sharing this work and really making a difference- leaving a legacy of love and service for my children to remember me by.”
– Yvonne Kraeher, ACT Graduate
If the registration date passed and you haven't yet been able to settle on missing out on ACT, this new option is for you.
Registration for the virtual track will close on April 19th. It’s our hope that this creates a pathway for you to follow the intuitive call of your heart, which isn’t always clear on timing until suddenly, it is, and join us for the year ahead.
And by “us,” I mean all of the magical beings that are within this Training’s circle: The members of our Alchemy Team, our spark tending Hearthtenders, the ancestors, spirit allies, elementals, and the cohort of participants forming the shape of our circle.
“What a difference you made as far as holding that safety net, that loving net, all that attention you gave to us, it just made such a difference for me. Having the alchemical experience that we were having, both collectively as well as individually, and each and every one of you offered your gifts in your own way and secured a wonderful net of support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate all the love you gave to us and to me individually.”
– Susan Montgomery, ACT Graduate
The Circle Is Forming
We are genuinely thrilled to spend our next year with this circle of people. They are the ones who understand that the world changes through the tending of what lives inside of them, even when it’s messy, even when it asks more than they expected.
They are willing to be shaped by the work, to soften where they’ve been guarded, to strengthen where they’ve felt small, and to walk forward with integrity rippling far beyond their life.
If this describes you and you still feel drawn to be in the ACT training … you may already be in conversation with our circle.
Inside ACT…
- You’ll unlock the consciousness of radical positive change in yourself and the world so you can become a finely tuned instrument of humanness while walking the evolutionary road.

- You’ll uncover hidden ancestral stories that are keeping you in the muck of patterns that are undermining your highest potential.
- We’ll teach you all about object constellations, sound practices, intention setting and the how-to’s of effective manifestation work.

- You’ll practice facilitating Systemic Family Constellations to reveal hidden entanglements and unlock healing movements.
- We’ll study the symbiotic trauma bonds (parent/child, sibling, love, victim/perpetrator) that unconsciously keep you loyal to fear, judgement, shame, and weak or rigid boundaries.
- You’ll expand your capacity to participate in healthy relationship to love, energy, and money.
- You’ll spark and create your unique offering and generate abundance using soulful strategy and field Intelligence.
