In this episode I share a personal story about being ‘tempered by the fire’ during my shamanic training when I travelled all the way to Canyon de Chelly in Arizona looking to connect with an ancient lineage.  Instead of having a spiritual awakening I clashed with my Navajo guide, had a nasty allergic reaction to an insect bite, followed by a horrendous case of thrush. Welcome to the Soul Alchemist podcast with Catherine Maguire.  'Go home, everything you need is at home'.  This was the message I received after I'd travelled thousands of miles for a 'Spiritual Experience'. The experience while emotionally and physically painful was humbling and ultimately enlightening. It prompted me to return home to Ireland to find what I’d been looking for in the land of my birth and to reconnect to the gold within myself. Join me to explore where you may need to 'go home', so you can reconnect with yourself and your own inner gold. Let me know what you discover, all my love.
