Lived Alchemy is not a method you learn,
but something that opens
when you return into the body.
In both Eastern and Western traditions,
alchemy was never seen as something abstract.
It is a path of transformation —
from the raw to the refined,
from the separated to the whole.
What often seems to be missing today
is the translation into life as it unfolds.
Not something to achieve,
but something to allow.
Not about becoming better
or moving closer to an ideal,
but about learning to live
in what is.
And in that allowing,
everything around it moves with it.
Not as a goal,
but as a consequence
of coming into alignment with what is.
From within,
it organises itself
and becomes visible.
Through this,
self-realisation does not end with the individual,
but naturally becomes contribution.
What truly lands in the body,
held by the soul
and clarity in the mind,
finds its expression in the whole.
It does not require belief,
but dedication.
To seeing what is.
To letting go of what does not hold.
To following what wants to emerge.
There,
in the coming together of mind, soul and body,
is Lived Alchemy.

We would like to highlight this wonderful training by Hilde Swets and Mieke Van Zon, based on the Life Projects method!
The Core of Work
Connecting your natural state of being with the dynamics of your work
We are pleased to introduce this unique training. The Core of Work is a collaboration between Hilde Swets (Ruimtehouders) and Mieke van Zon (Life Projects). Together, they will facilitate five training days in ’s-Hertogenbosch (NL), starting in September 2026.
Mirjam Diependaal supports the program with integration sessions and offers additional one-on-one bodywork.
In essence
As the world around us becomes increasingly digital and fast-paced, there is a growing need for what cannot be captured in algorithms: our embodied presence, our sense of purpose, and our natural intelligence.
Especially in times of societal tension, it is essential to return to yourself. Not to remain there, but to step outward from that natural state — and contribute, through the values you embody, to what the world truly needs.
How can this take shape in your work?
What will we practice?
- Strengthening your foundation: a magnetic core
- Deepening your engagement with meaningful work and relationships
- Seeing the bigger picture: experiencing your organization as a whole
Taster session – get to know the training
On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, we offer a taster session in Den Bosch. Participation is optional and not a requirement for joining the full training.

The quality of the coach shapes the outcome.
Coaching is human work. Most of its impact depends on the quality of the coach, on their skills, capacities and limitations. But above all, it depends on their presence. To what extent is the coach truly at home and online during a session?
This often requires a shift in the coach’s own physical, emotional and mental attitude towards life, a more multi-dimensional view of the human being and the world. Each of these human layers has its own natural rhythm and qualities. By understanding and cultivating this inner alchemy, you develop the capacity to create impact across all these layers.
Which part of your own potential are you still not tapping into during your coaching sessions? How do you allow the process to flow, and how do you know what is right to say or do in the moment?

This form contains all five elements in a flowing, easily applicable structure. The wide variety of touch qualities, rhythms and depths allows you to immediately step into the experience of what Alchemy of Bodywork truly is. It works through the different dimensions of being human and reactivates the recipient’s life force — bringing increased vitality, purification and transformation.
The effects of this treatment are profound and immediately tangible. You can safely apply it to people around you, and as a professional bodyworker, you can also use it to deepen your treatments.

This training is for women only.
For women who long for a life lived from their true nature, from authenticity. For those who are done with a life lived from the head and the pursuit of superficial ideals and relationships. For those who are ready to purify the energy of old pain, shame, and the past from your experience of being a woman.
So that this feminine essence can become your compass in your life.
Present in the depths, the darkness of your body, where your strength lies as a woman. Where you can find rest and a sense of home.
With your heart open and loving, grounded in the bed of your pelvis.
Living in total reverence for your female body.
WWe reconnect with our breasts and yoni, with their divine power and their ability to bring you directly to your essence.
Topics that may be covered (tailored to the needs of the group):
- Cultivating a deep connection between heart and yoni.
- Alchemy of Bodywork to create space in your body and energy system
- Breast massage: opening your heart and letting (self)love flow.
- Yoni massage: gently embracing the sacredness of your yoni.
- Meditations to your heart and feminine organs.
- 5 Elements Yoga & Dance: opening and celebrating your life energy.
- Activating the connection to your spiritual origin
- Space to share, to feel, to ask questions, to be, to rest and to recharge.
- Introduction to working with the jade egg.

This year the focus will be on:
Deepening the Core – As already mentioned, developing the core is a very important and extensive topic. In this module I will explore it more deeply, helping you to form the magnetic field of the core and introducing the first stage of adding the Five Elements to your alchemical cauldron (the core).
Cultivating Health – We will explore the alchemical approach to health and vitality in greater depth. This makes the training particularly valuable for those who struggle with low energy, weakness, or unstable health.
Vitalizing the Organs – This third topic is naturally connected to the previous two. You will learn how to vitalize and cleanse the organs, and how this process supports their natural healing capacity.
A valuable and intense week for both beginners and advances students.
