Natural Flow Alchemy

My name is Natalie Moss, I’m a natural mystic, creative, medicine women from Sydney Australia.

This article is a little introduction to me - a living demonstration of life alchemy and finding flow and beauty in daily mundane decisions and experiences. This is a short story about my later stage path into interior design, Human Design, and the way of the spiritual warrior.

Life has been pretty interesting and certainly challenging to date. Through perseverance and surrender, great wisdom and jewels are harvested from seemingly barren land. At 39 years of age, I returned to my home town - yeeted swiftly and abruptly from my life in Melbourne on the back of a fragile living situation turned physically dangerous. Me and my little bestie, Logan aka Little Dragon/ Skittles/ The Baby/ Celestial Crumb… but how did we get here?

Celestial Crumb & I … we love flowers, candles, tarot, art, music and creating santuary.

I’ve moved houses and neighbourhoods 6 times since early 2019. That year I left my job as a Health Manager - I had my own office, 6 figures, a team of lovely people, a fairly comfortable commute and lived in a good neighbourhood with friends. I was integrated in a community of artists. I could not foresee the changes that would soon be up-ending the globe, but somehow my bones sensed something coming - a deadline looming. I had BIG plans, I had an itch to create a home - a lifestyle. I was dreaming and sketching innovative communal buildings (with no formal training of skills). When I left the garage I’d slept in and made music in for 3 years I had no idea what was to come. I didn’t just un-peel from my life, I yanked at the roots and severed the connections.

I moved to Los Angeles for 3 months without a working visa. During that time, what I thought would be an exciting discovery mission, turning into a dark night of the soul - a purging, an unexpected turn towards a spiritual quest. I was physically sick, worn out, confused. I found making friends difficult, I started asking about God. I honestly did NOT see it coming. If you see these things arriving though - would we be able to step towards them?

I returned to Sydney from LA, and took up with with the NSW Ministry of Health. I continued for almost 4 more years in a 6 figure office job - a very comfortable place. Too comfortable. Meanwhile, I began Sacred Leadership training - a two year program developed by a local wise woman, Margi Curtis. Margi is a practicing pagan witch of the Reclaiming Witchcraft tradition. Margi was a wonderful guide - holding us through the pivot of face to face meeting bans - and shepherding us gently and with grace through largely online learning.

After the initial year online, things began to ease and we could meet in person for rituals, raising energy, intention setting, stepping through and illuminating the workings in circle together. We learnt to listen to the natural world, to respect indigenous wisdom and caretakers, to call the elements, hold circles, to facilitate trances and enquires to the other realms - between the worlds. We learnt of mythologies, the Goddess, practices of self discovery. Margi may not understand how deep her offering was at that place and time for myself, and for my sisters in the coven.

I was still restless and in my head. I’d come into contact with Human Design in 2019 - but it hadn’t sunk in as a practice.

I was trying to THINK about where to live - I was frustrated with my financials and my limitations. I moved to Melbourne in 2021, my younger sister Megan lived there (still lives there). I so appreciated being closer to her. My career would take a death blow however - I couldn’t no longer work from NSW from my remote location in Melbourne.

This was the birth of Natural Flow Alchemy. I went into a jobless situation - unemployed for the first time since I was a child. I had a naive expectation that things would happen quickly - as I would jump the net would appear and there would be no gap! I had faith - the answers would come.

I had been deepening my relationship to Human Design and at the end of 2022, when faced with my work contract coming to an end - I noticed that my body just wouldn’t find another ‘job’. I was beginning to pay attention to my body as a decision maker. The actions it took - my body needed to relax - to deepen tantric feminine understanding. I increased my tarot readings, I then began a mentorship for Human Design analysis with Leann Wollf. I met my next set of comrades - a motley crew assembled from all parts of the globe - with the common interest in Human Design and a strong affinity to our master coach, Leann.

I began to paint and make, to play guitar. Large scale, bright, expressive paintings. I invested in pilates and pole dancing.

I began to work in person with a co-operative called Alchemical Worx. Another group of creative warriors with a thirst for grand plans. We wove and we wove and we wove - to unite and launch the cooperative. But without money coming in… everything was a struggle. Plans to make money all needed money. Along my journey I have met so many fabulous and invested people - fighting the good fight - all of us somehow with a material penance to pay. Our hearts want a better world - of wholeness, of integrated awareness and healthy thriving spirits enjoying freedom and the best of life. Despite everyone’s efforts, the tribe could not find a solid container for the taps to turn on.

With extended financial strain came housing strain. A house mate situation turned wrong, and I found myself disturbed and concerned for Logan’s and my safety. I moved back to Sydney to my parent’s house, and eventually I left Alchemical Worx.

What to do…

All this while the communal home desire, the sanctuary, a beautiful thriving life for creativity and safety - this idea following me along my broken path.

I was wondering what to do - so much resistance to returning to the type of work I used to do. The educational aspect of creating trainings and facilitating meetings and events connected me to my communication skills, but I wanted to apply those skills to my own creative work - to follow my own way of doing things. My eclectic passions and skills feel to wild for a common work role. I make music videos - film, edit, and produce. I write and record songs and perform live - so much creative work but challenged to build in revenue generation.

Painting and creating: my utility era 2022

In January 2024, I was looking for study options at the local university. During my research I noticed the Interior Design option. Initially, I just wanted to take up something in the area that I could attend part time easily. But nothing I do is easy!

When I sat with my heart and body and thought about the prospect of studying interior design, my heart welled with emotion. Like a feeling of overwhelm - that I couldn’t dare. That I hadn’t let myself dare to dream of taking my joy for creativity and creating spaces seriously. I applied for the course.

Day one - the drive was 2 hours in rain and traffic! So much for an easy local part time solution. I continued to drive 2 days a week on this busy commute for 1 year. I graduated receiving the teacher’s specially allocated Distinction for ‘where hard work and talent meet to create outstanding results’.

I’d had such a wonderful year - I had to go on. I enrolled in the diploma - changing locations. This is now a 1 hour easy commute with no traffic.

While all THIS was happening - I’ve been setting up Natural Flow Alchemy - my Human Design Analysis business. Human Design is such an interesting area. It’s been life changing. It’s a strange little community - many pockets of study - traditionalists and people bending and expanding the system. Actually, I’m quite close to the traditionalists - the earliest rendition of the system and original teachings of RA URU HU.

Natural Flow Alchemy - this is my name for the art of cosmic alignment. The life as a woven dance. This is following my body and being in tune with the frequency of the right place at the right time.

I’ve been in a rapid upgrade super tunnel - worm-holing across timelines. All on the ‘smell of an oily rag’ - that is with an empty tank and the resources of earth, air, fire & water. Standing in the sun to honour and accept her rays. Breathing deeply the fresh mountain air and the sea breeze. Steeping in the healing waters of the Sandon Point seas at Bulli. Communing with trees and feeling my bare feet on the soil. Working with the powers of Reiki and meditation.

Resources are abundant - and time is the most expensive thing that money cannot buy.

My findings on this wild ride: you have to LIVE your life. Back yourself, you have to have your own back. Protecting your instincts and intelligence for knowing what moves to make. Stepping back to assess the scene and to find that you have exactly what you need at any given moment. It’s about shifting the focus, not to what isn’t there but to what IS there.

It’s not necessarily easy. But did we come to earth for the easy ride? or is this a realm of discovery? We are learning about how this all goes together when we express consciousness through our unique form.

I love the home. I love spaces where creativity has space to unwind. Where we can be inspired and protected to search and experience a deep inner world. In Human Design terms - I’m ‘on the roof’. I’ll have to get into what this means in a separate article.

Within my holistic interior design practice - I use Human Design to help my clients with their own decision making techniques. Having my client’s bodygraph chart enables me to help lean them into their ideal environment - recommend how spaces can be optimised to suit the needs of everyone in the tribe, as well as teaching clients how to make decisions based on their unique energetic blueprint.

I can help my clients understand their own mechanics better and empower them to lean into their own unique gifts.

My own pathway is extreme and not for everyone - but let me be the extreme example and my client’s do not have to take such risks. I put myself through this experiment, to find my calling and develop my skills - to be of ultimate service to those who need me.

The alchemising process requires a breakdown of material form, for a chemical process to take place - turning led into gold. As above, so below. As within - so without. When we create a home, a living space or a working environment - we are echoing our inner states. The home is a reflection of us. We do the best we can with what we’ve got.

I’ll be writing more about sustainable practices as well as building awareness for cost and quality. How to slow down decisions which nourish our future, resisting temptations and consumerism tendencies. There is no point in reprimanding the self, theres no space or need for shame. We just pick up and built for a better tomorrow, with reverence for the past.

It’s my wish to create a ‘pay it forward’ system - where a portion of profits can be dedicated to provide furnishings and home refreshes for people with low means, living with broken, soiled or unsafe furnishings. I desire to support a small community with shared fresh herbs and vegetables. I’m still looking for my own home - while I continue to grow and develop my holistic interior design practice.

Natural Flow Alchemy is integrating within the Sunbaker Studio banner. It remains distinct, but as an entity within the larger studio. Sunbaker Studio captures a larger essence - of Sun God proportions. The Studio now has energetic space to expand and grow - to hold the thrift furnishings, workshops, music and of course - interiors services.

Holding such a vast vision is a process and a journey - their is no end result, only milestones. I desire to leave a legacy - to build a place to offer people safety, learning and inspiration for generations to come.

Without finding my natural flow state… I could not recognise the gifts - the stepping stones which light the way. If you have a space that needs some vision and direction - to inspire ease and creativity, I’d love to chat with you on a Discovery call.
