I offer the following workshops in Zoom and various locations in and around Asheville, North Carolina. These workshops and classes present the techniques and Hermetic worldview of the “written” version of eastern meditative and yogic practices. I inflect these through current paradigm shifts in clinical counseling and western medicine. An award-winning author and poet and a Distinguished Professor of Narratiive Medicine and Creative Writing, I have done meticulous transdisciplinary research for the past twenty years to responsibly bring this astonishing practice back to life in the West with care, discipline, and integrity.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Re-Discovering the Philosopher’s Stone: A Workshop in Narrative Medicine and Creative Alchemy

Narrative Medicine is a newly recognized discipline in western medicine that mirrors early Christianity and eastern philosophies. All share the basic principle of fermenting the self into soul by way of reflection, contemplation, and creativity. In a setting of encouragement and calm, rediscover or develop your creativite-writing practice while drawing medicinal benefits from our shared primordial energy.

The Head and the Heart: A Workshop in Opening and Maintaining Perfect Intuition

Polyvagal Theory and Poetry both recognize the need for steady communication between the head-brain and the gut-brain. For centuries, though, the West has not known about “the subtle body” central to yoga and meditation practices in the non-western worldview. Join Laura Hope-Gill in this informative, mind-expanding, hands-on series in which she guides participants back to an ancient method for connection, balance, creativity, and happiness.

COACHING

Knowing about Hermetic Alchemy is one thing. Observing and engaging it is quite another. Laura is available for one-on-one and small-group coaching via Zoom and in-person. She will guide you as you develop your perceptual literacy in reading the world, empowering you to recognize when and how the soul of the world is speaking to you–and how not to overthink it. Stop missing the messages. Start cultivating soul into the everyday world, and watch the synchronicities multiply.
