Description

In this episode, Forrest is joined by many-time guest Alexander Love to explore The Lumina Process - Alexander's integrative modality for parts work, shadow work, and embodied transformation.

Forrest opens by sharing his first‑hand experience of working with Alexander over dozens of sessions. From there, they dive into:

• how the Lumina Process Level One training supports people to work with their own shadow and parts
• the difference between working with parts that look like us and parts that don’t look like us (like an internalized parent, sibling, or public figure)
• how including these “other‑looking” parts can unlock profound forgiveness, resolution, and relational healing
• the role of nervous system attunement and sensation‑level awareness in genuinely transformational work
• a post‑tragic worldview—a way of meeting tragedy and global crisis that doesn’t bypass pain and doesn’t collapse into hopelessness
• how every little moment counts, and why the smallest unseen choices can alter the course of a life
• living with the awareness of death as a source of tenderness, urgency, and love

Along the way, Alexander guides a short heart‑centered dropping‑in practice, and Forrest and Alexander share vulnerably about losing their fathers, restorative justice, and the possibility of experiencing beauty and sacredness right inside heartbreak.

If you’ve ever felt the limits of purely “mental” inner work and longed for a more embodied, relational, and soulfully honest approach to shadow and parts, this episode will speak directly to you.
