▽ INNER ALCHEMY | THE SERIES
This is a series of one-day retreats with alchemy serving as a framework for understanding personal development and change, emphasizing the journey of inner transformation, self-discovery, and the pursuit of higher states of consciousness and fulfilment.

Practises involve Tantra, bodywork, breathwork, psychological practices, inquiry, deep dialogue, energetical practices and touch.

Alchemy was a philosophical and proto-scientific tradition that aimed to transform base metals into noble metals like gold, discover a universal panacea (a cure-all), and create the elixir of life (a potion granting immortality). It had roots in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, China, and India.

Alchemy encompassed a wide range of practices, including metallurgy, medicine, chemistry, mysticism, and spiritual beliefs. Practitioners of alchemy, known as alchemists, used a combination of experimentation, observation, and symbolism in their pursuit of these goals.
