Michelle Hawk from Oregon discusses her childhood connection to animism, the belief that all things are alive and interconnected. She shares her journey from feeling isolated with her unique perspective to finding belonging in shamanic practices. Combining spirituality with science, Michelle explores the transformative process of alchemy as a means of personal growth and self-actualization.

Michelle highlights the stages of transformation as a cyclical process of personal growth, explaining the essential phases:

Purging: Letting go of physical and emotional objects that no longer align with your identity.

Dissolution: Confronting feelings, beliefs, and subconscious patterns that hold you back.

Separation: Analyzing what you want to keep, what to discard, and what new things to embrace.

Conjunction: Bringing together initial ideas or actions (like a first draft), though it's a work in progress.

Michelle also discusses the natural tendency of humans to prefer familiarity over uncertainty due to deep-seated neurological wiring. She emphasizes the importance of trusting intuition while navigating transformation, using alchemy as a map for personal and leadership growth.

Leaders can embrace these cycles of change to guide teams through challenges and foster meaningful growth.
