Deconstruction with Rachael Spyker explores psychology, spirituality and embodied living through conversations and guided meditations. Hosted by a psychedelic psychotherapist, discover somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, inner child work, Jungian active imagination, psychedelic integration, grief, relationships and belonging. Listen to thoughtful interviews, body-based practices, myth and ecstatic dance ceremonies as we question inherited stories and find our way back to curiosity and connection. www.alchemycounselling.ca
For this Autumn Equinox,
A Harvest Full Moon ritual for returning to the Body and remembering that we are not separate from Nature.
An invitation to slow down, inhabit ourselves more fully, and reconnect with the rhythms moving within and around us.
We are not simply Bodies living in Nature. We are Nature. Breathing, changing, shedding, becoming.
A guided meditation for remembering the Allness we belong to.

The Burgeoning of a Seed: Storytime
Dedicated with reverence to the Indigenous peoples and lineages who have carried sacred relationships with plant and psychedelic Medicines across generations. To those who have protected these Medicines, ceremonies, teachings, and ways of knowing through colonization, criminalization, persecution, and profound loss. May we remember that these are living traditions, held by living peoples, and approach them with humility, gratitude, respect, and responsibility.
Dedicated to Artemis on this Equinox.
In this episode, I read a short story I wrote, The Burgeoning of a Seed.
It tells the story of an anti-poaching pilot whose work protecting wildlife is being impacted by PTSD, leading him to a psychedelic medicine retreat where he seeks healing in order to return to the work of protecting the animals of the jungle.

Milagros: An Ecstatic Dance Ceremony
Spotify wouldn’t allow me to upload the full Ceremony I mixed, so this episode is a short teaser. The full Ecstatic Dance ceremony is available on SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/rachaelspyker-1/milagros-ecstatic-dance-1?si=fc35e8343ed54c579dd260391075fe38&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)
---------
There is something deeply regulating about moving.
Rhythm restores choice. Movement restores agency. The body remembers that activation can feel alive instead of overwhelming.
In this ceremony, we explore ecstatic dance as a way of breaking out of stasis. A chance to loosen the rigidity that keeps us small and reconnect with the freedom and aliveness of the body.
-------
This ceremony is dedicated to Milagros, my wild wise woman, midwife to the Goddess, and my favourite dance partner. Thank you for dancing with me through so many thresholds, and for calling me forward into more of myself.
To our holy dancing Bodies.
------
Preparing the space:
For the best experience, create a simple ceremonial container:
• Find a private space where you can move freely. Make it beautiful
• Use headphones or a good speaker for full sound quality
• Dim the lights or light a candle if it feels supportive
• Allow yourself to move without choreography or self-judgment
Allow the music to guide you.
Let the Body remember. You are Nature. And Nature knows how to rise
