ALCHEMICAL SOMATICS
Learn from the power of depth psychology in tandem
with experiential somatic exercises that bring you home to your body.
There is more here than meets the eye in life and this is a course ushers you deeper.
This course is to introduce you to a healing cosmology that can hold you through all of life’s great turnings as well as equip you with practices that allow for greater embodiment and connection with the world around you.
This course is made up of 8 videos meant to progressively orient you to a way of viewing your psyche through the depth psychological lens of alchemy and inner parts work and then weaving in practices that help you communicate with the slow and sometimes mysterious language of the body through sound, movement, and touch.
The intention is to leave you with tangible takeaways that will support your nervous system and in turn your relationships, your life and your relationship to life.
Alchemical Somatics is a weaving of two lenses:
The Depth Psychology Lens
Somatic
Experiencing
Together, they create a pathway for intimacy with your entirety and relationship between all of you.
This allows you to meet life with more awareness, more tools, more resources, more understanding, more empowerment.
Life is initiation and you want to learn how to meet them: the inner deaths, the thresholds, the slow-burn shifts that rearrange the furniture of a life. This is how you can meet them with more awareness, from a resourced system, and a capacity large, well versed enough to hold it all.
The somatic lens listens to the wisdom of the body.
The depth psychological lens which offers a framework and cosmology to hold the meaning and complexities of life.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE
What you need for the deep waters.
A ‘geared-up boat’, so you can experience the splendor
of the unconscious without being swallowed by it.
AND a medicine bag you carry everywhere:
inner resources to nourish, replenish
and revitalise your nervous system,
so you can be inside the challenges of life
and still be connected to your breath.
Clearer relationships,
through shadow work and withdrawing projections,
so you can see what belongs to whom and meet others more cleanly.
You'll find wisdom that lives between earth and sky,
in both ascent and return: not too concretized in material concerns,
and not too dissociated in abstract spirituality.
A bodily homecoming
There are somatic practices, racking the felt sense,
self touch, exploration of sound, boundary work,
parts work and imaginal meditation to give you practices
to return to again and again.
Included are also journaling prompts in the name of percolating
all you’ve been with, and as an opportunity to reflect
on where you see yourself in these operations.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE
Perhaps you've been swept away by
life's initiations. The ‘burnings’, the ‘floods’, the losses, the rebirths.
Perhaps you've felt alone in them, in your own head, in your own life.
And perhaps you've met the same triggers again and again,
and perceive it to be failure.
In Alchemical Somatics, you'll find you are
not alone.
When you see yourself in an archetypal pattern, the illusion
that you are alone in your experiences begins to dissolve.
You are connected to everyone and everything that has walked this way before,
and to those walking it now.
You start to see pain and difficulty differently -
held within the alchemical process,
it becomes the raw material of transformation.
Here, you'll find a map within yourself
For the burnings, floods and rebirths of a life,
and a new way to be with your initiations.
Instead of being swept away by them, you walk with them and through them.
You'll come to understand the spiral nature of transformation:
why the same triggers return before they are integrated,
and why that's not failure but the way transformation moves.
The heart of the opus which is who we learn from -
Solve et coagula: dissolve and coagulate.
Dissolving what has calcified in order to incarnate in greater alignment with soul.
Moving out of ego dominance and control, into ego in service to the Self.
So we end where we begin, but at a higher order.
IS THIS YOU?
You’re ready to embark on a journey of discovering your parts
The parts of you you’re unacquainted with THROUGH parts work and imaginal meditation.
You’re ready to come home to
your body
Through movement, sound, touch and tracking the felt sense.
And you want new practices you can return to time and time again, to ground yourself in your own nervous system and your own body.
You are a sensitive creative, curious and ready and willing
to do deep inner work. You are drawn to the depths: to depth psychology, alchemy, and the inner and relational adventure toward wholeness and this is what you want more of.
And you hold close what matters:
the rise of the value and depth of the feminine, the stewardship of the masculine, gentle living on the earth, and feeling connected to roots, lineage, place, earth and each other. You want to be part of stewarding a new way of living.
IS THIS YOU?
The way you've been meeting life
no longer fits.
The demands of our over-culture have left you exhausted and burnt out.
You've been overriding for a long time, and most parts of you knows it can't continue. You sense there is another way of living.
You may not have the full shape of it yet, but you can feel it asking to be met.
You are ready for newness.
For aliveness: to find it again, ignite it again, connect to it again and you want to feel it through emotional processing and a deeper relationship with your body and its natural cycles and rhythms.
To feel connected to your roots, lineage, place, earth and
each other.
I am Molly Mitchell-Hardt Field, a depth psychotherapist, somatic experiencing practitioner, sacred motherhood guide, and workshop facilitator, offering a holistic mind-body approach to healing.
Like many in the healing profession, my path began in my own suffering.
Much of who I am was forged in the dark cave of my inner sanctum — the place I have retreated to hide, gestate, collapse, dissolve and transform experience into medicine.
Through nearly a decade of working with clients I have refined my approach and experienced first hand what truly supports change in a person’s life.
This course is a culmination of this experience, it is the bones of the healing modality that I support people through to come home to themselves and in effect to the earth and their relationships more wholly.

Alchemical Somatics weaves together depth psychology, alchemy and somatics. Alchemy serves as a framework to hold the archetypal patterns of transformation, the process of death and rebirth, of shedding and refining. Depth psychology looks at what lies underneath the symptoms or outward presentation of what arises for us, and it is a path of deep normalization of the human experience. Somatic practices ground this work in the body, so you can be in these alchemical operations and still be able to breathe and function.
