It is still possible for human beings to see the divine mystery of the elements, to become fascinated by their nature and movements and the forms that arise from them. At the moment when the elements come back to life in this way, we have reentered the sacred twilight domain of the alchemist and begin to see our soul reflected in the natural world.

Lorie Eve Dechar

My Alchemical Acupuncture work is centered around the wisdom traditions of Taoist Alchemy and Five Element Acupuncture. I practice a gentle style, using a minimal amount of needles as well as moxibustion, essential oils and flower essences. Going into the somatic landscape, uniting spirit and body, we begin untying deep knots, resolving stubborn symptoms, reclaiming lost parts, integrating to a new wholeness and incarnation of self. Honoring the deep knowing of our soul, unbinding the shackles of external expectations of who or how we are ā€œsupposed to be,ā€ reclaiming our lives, our health, and ultimately, ourselves. So, yes, we can treat your sore back, GI distress, chronic foot pain, autoimmune conditions, insomnia, and whatever else you’ve got, and we can also treat YOU.

After many years of chronic, ā€œincurableā€ health challenges and deep childhood trauma, I have found great freedom and transformation through alchemical healing and inner cultivation. With a passion to share this work, I began my healing practice over 2 decades ago. Acupuncture and Inner Cultivation have become allies.

I have been a practitioner of inner cultivation arts for 20 years including martial arts, qigong, mediation, mantra, and sacred movement. These practices are the foundation stone of my life

Transformational Healing

I am a teacher

I spend a lot of time teaching and training. I am the head instructor (Sibok) of the Thundering Dragon Kung Fu Lineage & founder of Punch, Liberation through the Fist kung fu program. In addition I am the Omshr (master doctor) of the Endless Lotus Alchemy Healing System, & Vajra Acharya (Vajra Master) of my esoteric tao-buddhist lineage. You may hear some students call me Priya, which is my buddhist name. Priya means divine love.

Fun fact, I’m also a performance artist, classically trained vocalist, dancer, and creator of Sacred Dakini Dance & Thundering Tara solo performances. To learn more about my lineage, visit my sister website Gaia Buddhism.
