About The 3-Month Workshop

What if the ancient alchemists weren’t just working with metals, but with the human soul? Hidden within their cryptic symbols and coded texts lies a powerful map for awakening: a path to dissolve inner blocks, purify the psyche, and uncover the gold within. This isn't mythology, it’s a living process of transformation that mirrors your own spiritual journey.

In this 12-week journey, we explore alchemy as a symbolic language of the soul’s evolution, rooted in both ancient practice and the Jungian path of individuation. Each session combines timeless alchemical wisdom with deep meditation to guide you through the major stages of inner transformation: from the raw chaos of the prima materia, through ego death (nigredo), soul purification (albedo), inner illumination (citrinitas), and the final integration of wholeness (rubedo). Along the way, you’ll work with dreams, archetypes, Active Imagination, and other meditation techniques, all designed to support your personal awakening.

No prior knowledge of alchemy is needed. What’s required is a willingness to look within, meditate deeply, and let this ancient process of transformation reveal the path home to your true Self.
