This week we seek to inhabit the body and mind fully in order to reunite us with our personal magic. You may use this on a walking route you think you know well or you may lay down, close your eyes, and allow your subconscious to present a series of images that will be the most meaningful to YOU.. like a personal cinematic masterpiece.

In this episode, I explore what it means to stay alive to life — to choose eros, even when the air feels heavy. Through the gesture of Pushpaputa Mudra, reflections on awareness, and the shimmer of silver light on cloudy waves, I return to the mind as a place of offering. What I’ve learned is simple: what I bring my light to becomes more beautiful.

Welcome to Place Magic, a mini series examining the archetypes we can draw from our physical environment. This episode is an ode to our nation’s capital, and my “college town”, Washington DC. Each episode will present a sensory snapshot of a place I have lived and how we have shaped each other. I invite you to inquire into how this process has occurred in your own life.

In this reflective season finale, we explore the framework of looking, feeling, and witnessing—first through a painting, then through the lens of the podcast season itself. By zooming in and zooming out, we examine not only what art and archetype can reveal, but also how our internal state informs every outward creation. A quiet, sensory exercise unfolds into a meditation on burnout, rhythm, and desire. This is a pivot point for the Visionary Alchemist. Let it meet you wherever you are.

In this 20-minute Yoga Nidra practice, you’ll enter the state where transformation becomes inevitable. This guided meditation is designed to help you embody the Visionary Alchemist archetype — the version of you that doesn’t chase outcomes, but instead weaves reality from inner knowing.

Using the metaphor of the spider’s web, this practice invites you to:

- Stay loyal to your dreams and desires

- Trust that the world is always reflecting your inner truth

- Re-pattern your subconscious beliefs with softness, not force- Create your life as a living work of art

I recorded this one before sunrise—barefoot, and a little under-rested. It’s a meditation on desire, the kind that moves through sound, sensation, and subtle noticing.

This week, I’m unraveling the difference between being seen and being witnessed, between reaching for attention and reclaiming your own gaze.

There’s Baldwin in here. Morrison too. I bring you into the “sonic grotto”—that place where your longing meets language—and we let it echo. Just the awareness that sometimes your desire is your direction.

Not every day calls for transfiguration. Some days just want presence. In this soft, sun-dappled episode, I explore what it means to be “enriched enough”—when the environment isn’t ideal, the energy isn’t soaring, but something still glimmers.

This one’s for the in-betweeners, the almosts, the small rituals that tether you to something gentle and real. I didn’t want to record this episode. So I took a new walk, felt the citrus on my tongue, listened to the rain—and let that be enough.

We talk about being a visionary alchemist in miniature. About the long day of the solstice, and how even in surrender, you can still shape your atmosphere.

Includes ambient field notes, a micro ritual, and a reminder that transformation doesn’t always look like fire. Sometimes it’s just breath, timing, and choosing to see the light already on your skin.

What if you assumed it was already happening?

Season 2 of The Grotto with invitation: to shift your atmosphere, alchemize your outlook, and begin seeing transformation not as a future fantasy — but a present reality.

In this season’s first offering, I share how I’m shifting from the dreamier “Dream Cartographer” archetype of Season 1 into something more activated, intentional, and atmospheric. Enter: The Visionary Alchemist — the one who assumes beauty as already arrived, and builds accordingly.

You’ll hear:

Why my current creative compass is guided by webs, not roadmaps

What decision-making has to do with self-concept

The scent of inevitable transformation

Why this season is lighter, more collaborative, and energetically laced with trust

This episode isn’t about finding clarity — it’s about embodying the conditions that let clarity find you.
