Build your life from your divinity down, to raise your humanity up.
Join us as we undertake The Great Work.
Transform your life to transform our world.
The source of almost all suffering comes from forgetting who and what we truly are.
You are divine, and so is everyone and everything all around you.
Most of us have forgotten this. We do not remember who we are, so we spend decades trying to figure out why we are here and what we are meant to be. We try to build a life of meaning without knowing the meaning of life. We build from the ground up, hoping to reach heaven after we die, not realizing heaven has been waiting for us right here, right now, all along.
XLR8yOurLife exists to help you remember: to reconnect you to the divinity within you and all around you, to help you see that divinity in yourself as well as in others, and to help you change your life so that you can help change and heal our world.
Truly healing and transforming our world means it is all of us or none of us.
Heaven on Earth starts with you.
The Great Work is not something you can simply learn.
It is a process that requires practice.
Have you read the books, bought the courses, gone to the retreats, and yet your life is still a mess? You know the teachings. You have sat in the classes, taken the trainings, had the breakthroughs, and somehow your life and relationships have not caught up with what you know is possible.
Intellectual breakthroughs that do not lead to real transformation are a problem with application, not information. Knowledge must be tested and refined through practice. Practice leads to understanding, and understanding lived over time becomes wisdom you can share, because you have walked the path yourself. For this reason, everything we do at XLR8yOurLife follows a threefold path:
Remember
Victim to Victor
Learn what you need to know. Remember what you have forgotten.
Apply
Victor to Vehicle
Put what you learn into practice to heal your relationships with yourself, with others, and with the Divine.
Serve
Vehicle
Offer what you have become, to yourself, to others, and to the Divine, through a transformed life.
We do not offer spiritual bypassing or quick fixes. We remind you of The Great Work, give you the practices, processes, and support to live it, and connect you to others on the path who will challenge, encourage, and support you along the way.
Alchemy: turning all that is lead in your life into gold.
The ancient alchemists knew that alchemy was never only about turning physical lead into physical gold. True alchemy was the transformation of the self, and they never believed it required turning something we were into something we were not. The gold already exists within us. The work is to remove everything that is not gold, and to purify and refine what remains until the gold that was always there is all that is left.
You do not become gold by becoming someone new. You become gold by releasing everything that was never truly you, and committing to live in alignment with who and what you truly are. Spiritual alchemy teaches that release as a process and a practice, in an order that works because it has worked for people of every age, place, and walk of life for generations.
Life is not meant to be lived alone
Real transformation heals the three relationships that shape a life:
With yourself
Remember who you are, live from that, and release everything that is not aligned with your divinity.
With others
Build relationships that withstand the test of time, ones you can serve and that serve you in becoming all you are meant to be.
With the Divine
Reconnect to the divinity within you and all around you, until a divine life is something that happens not just with you but through you.

The next Buddha will not be an individual.
It will be a community.
There is a saying, often attributed to Thich Nhat Hanh, that the next Buddha may not take the form of a single person but of a community: people practicing together, holding one another accountable, encouraging one another, waking one another up, and reminding each other who we are and why we are here when life feels heavy and it is hard to remember.
We have watched people who knew all the right teachings stay stuck because they were trying to do it alone, and we have seen ordinary people transform because someone was walking beside them. If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
Every program comes with a place in Allies in Alchemy, our private community. It is where the work continues between calls and after events, and where alliances are formed so that no one has to do the work alone.

Founder of XLR8yOurLife | Author of The Alchemy of Desire
From the heaviest lead, the greatest gold. I have been hurt in ways I would not wish on anyone, and I have hurt people in ways I am still making amends for. It took hitting rock bottom, two near-death experiences, over twenty years of study, and spending more than $300,000 on everything that was supposed to help me before I found a process that actually worked. What freed me was not more information. It was learning how to apply what I knew. Everything I learned on my own road from Victim to Victor to Vehicle, I now share with you.
