Alchemy Immersion 6-Month Program Starts in March
Alchemy Immersion
6 Months of Deep Practice
Your Journey Into Alchemical Transformation
March – August 2026
For Those Who Know This Is Their Path
This is more than a certification. It’s a calling.
For Those Who Know This Is Their Path
You’ve been drawn to this work. Maybe you watched our webinars on heart liberation. Maybe you’ve been following Meditation Mondays. Maybe you just know—something in you recognizes the Nine Stages of Alchemy as your path.
But you’re not here to become a practitioner (yet). You’re here to become more yourself. This program is for you.
Six months of deep Alchemical practice. Personal treatments. Group mentorship. Foundation teachings. Community with others walking this path. Not practitioner training. The work itself.
What Is Alchemy Immersion?
This is a 6-month container for students who want to experience Alchemical transformation through practice, not just study.
You’ll receive personal treatments from our certified practitioners. You’ll learn the foundational teachings. You’ll practice the meditations. You’ll understand the Five Elements in your own life. You’ll work with your own energy, your own heart, your own becoming.
Some students use this as preparation for our 3-year Master Alchemy Apprenticeship Program (MAAP). But most are here for self-cultivation—doing this profound work for their own transformation.
Both paths are honored with the same commitment to your journey.
Limited to 20 Students
We’re intentionally keeping Alchemy Immersion small.
Why?
- Group calls stay intimate—everyone has voice
- Practitioner scheduling stays manageable
- Real community forms (not anonymous masses)
- We can provide personal attention and support
This means enrollment fills quickly.
If you know this is your path, claim your spot.
What's Included in Your Alchemy Immersion
6 Personal Alchemical Treatment Sessions
($1,200 value)
Monthly sessions with our certified Alchemy practitioners throughout your 6-month journey.
These aren't coaching calls. They're actual Alchemical treatments—long-distance Qi transmission using specific point protocols from our lineage. You'll experience the work in your own body. You'll feel the shifts. You'll understand why this medicine is so transformational.
Your practitioner guides you through each treatment, explaining the points, the energetics, what's happening. You learn by experiencing. This is the Daoist way.
Sessions happen monthly, scheduled at times that work for you.
6 Monthly Group Mentorship Calls
($900 value)
The first Tuesday of each month, your cohort gathers for integration, practice guidance, and Q&A.
These calls are where you:

- Build real connection with others on this path

FAQ's
No. Alchemy Immersion is designed for self-cultivation—doing this work for your own transformation. You’ll learn the foundations and experience the treatments, but you’re not being trained to treat others.
That said, students who complete Immersion and want to become practitioners have a clear path to MAAP (our 3-year practitioner training program). Your Immersion classes count as prerequisites and you receive priority enrollment.
No prior experience needed. We teach you everything from the beginning. The foundation classes start with the basics. Your practitioner explains the points and treatments as you experience them.
Curiosity and willingness to practice are what matter.
All Meditation Mondays, Five Element Fridays, and group calls are recorded. You have full replay access throughout your 6 months (and the foundation classes are yours for life).
We encourage attending live when possible—there’s something powerful about practicing together in real time. But we understand life happens. The replays are there for you.
Minimum commitment:
- 1 treatment session per month (~90 minutes)
- 1 group call per month (~60-90 minutes)
- 2 Meditation Monday/Five Element Friday sessions per week (~60 minutes each, or watch replays)
Optional:
- Self-paced work on foundation classes (1-2 hours/week)
- Personal practice and integration time
Most students spend 3-5 hours per week total. This includes treatments, group calls, live sessions, and personal practice.
Also beautiful. This 6-month journey stands on its own. You’ll have received transformational healing. You’ll have learned practices you can continue for life. You’ll understand the teachings in your own body.
Not everyone is meant to become a practitioner. Most people are meant to be realized human beings living their own authentic life. Alchemy Immersion serves that path perfectly.
Yes. You can purchase additional sessions anytime at $200 each, or add bundles at enrollment for a discount (2 sessions for $380, 4 sessions for $740).
Some students know they want more intensive healing and add sessions at the beginning. Others add them as needed during the 6 months.
You can add the Ling Shu package anytime—at enrollment, during your Immersion, or even after completion. Many students do their Ling Shu work mid-way through Immersion or right after finishing.
We’ll help you determine timing based on your needs and what’s showing up in your treatments.
Yes. You can add it to your 10-month or 12-month payment plan for +$167/month or +$200/month respectively.
We understand life circumstances change. If you need to withdraw:
- Within the first 2 weeks: Full refund minus any sessions/services already received
- After 2 weeks: No refund on base program, but you keep access to all foundation classes (lifetime) and any sessions/services not yet used can be credited toward future programs
We’re not here to trap you. We’re here to support your transformation.
We’re capping Alchemy Immersion at 20 students to maintain intimacy in the group calls and ensure everyone has voice. You’ll get to know your cohort—these become your practice partners and community throughout the 6 months.
We need to close enrollment by [DATE] so we can:
- Match you with your practitioner
- Schedule all treatment sessions
- Prepare cohort materials
- Build your community before the first call
Spaces are limited to 20 students. First-come, first-served.
Yes! All sessions are virtual:
- Treatments are done via Zoom (long-distance Qi transmission)
- Group calls via Zoom
- Meditation Monday and Five Element Friday via Zoom
- Foundation classes are self-paced online
We have students around the world. Time zones may require some flexibility for live sessions, but all sessions are recorded if you can’t attend live.
Optional: Deepen Your Practice
Want more healing support throughout your 6 months?
- 1 additional session: $200
- 2 additional sessions: $380 (save $20)
- 4 additional sessions: $740 (save $60)
Add these at enrollment or purchase anytime during your Immersion.
Ling Shu Treatment Package: $2,000
Deep, comprehensive clearing work before or during your Immersion.
What’s included:
- 1 Alchemy interview session (60-90 minutes)
- 1 Ling Shu treatment session (4-6 hours of intensive work)
- 2 follow-up sessions (at 1 month and 3 months post-treatment)
Treatment protocol determined after your interview:
- Ghost Points (ancestral clearing)
- Id/Eds (deep psycho-spiritual clearing)
- Heart Pains (clearing emotional trauma from the heart)
- Or other protocols based on your needs
This is profound work. Many students find the Ling Shu package essential for clearing what’s been blocking their transformation for years.
Can be added to your payment plan: +$167/month over 12 months
Who This Is For
Alchemy Immersion IS for you if:
- You’re drawn to Alchemical work for your own transformation
- You want to experience this medicine in your own body
- You’re ready to commit to 6 months of practice
- You want personal treatments, not just learning content
- You value mentorship and community
- You’re willing to do the inner work
- You want to understand the Five Elements and Nine Stages through practice
- You may or may not want to become a practitioner—both paths are welcome
Who This Isn’t For
This program is not for those:
- You’re just curious but not ready to commit
- You want information without practice
- You’re not willing to receive treatment work
- You can’t commit to 6 months
- You want quick fixes rather than deep transformation
- You’re looking for intellectual study without embodied practice
“The one main question would be: do you want to change? If you do, great. If not, maybe you should go elsewhere.”

About Your Practitioners & Teachers
All sessions are with our certified Alchemy practitioners—graduates of our Master Alchemy Apprenticeship Program (MAAP). They’ve completed 3 years of intensive training in our system of Alchemical Chinese Medicine, studying the same lineage teachings you’ll be learning.
Your practitioner becomes your guide throughout the 6 months. They know you, your energy, your journey. This continuity matters.
About Our Lineage
This work comes from the Daoist lineage of Master Jeffrey Yuen, transmitted through his student Leta Herman. Leta studied with Master Yuen for over 20 years, learning the Ling Shu, the Nine Stages of Alchemy, Ghost Points, Heart Pains, and the deep spiritual aspects of Chinese medicine.
This isn’t New Age invention. This is ancient wisdom, transmitted teacher to student, now available to you.
Leora
Co-Lead for Group Calls
Leora is a Master Alchemy-certified practitioner and teacher, trained directly by Leta Herman in the lineage of Master Jeffrey Yuen. She brings deep knowledge of Alchemical Chinese Medicine, the Nine Stages, and Five Element theory. Leora has guided countless students through their own transformation and understands both the healing and teaching aspects of this work.
Brittney
Co-Lead for Group Calls
Brittney is currently completing her advanced training in our system and brings fresh energy and perspective to the mentorship calls. She remembers what it's like to be new to these teachings and helps bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern application.
About Alchemy Learning Center
The Alchemy Learning Center was founded by Leta Herman and Jaye McElroy to make authentic Alchemical Chinese Medicine accessible to modern practitioners and self-cultivators.
Leta studied for over 20 years with Master Jeffrey Yuen, learning the deep spiritual and alchemical aspects of this medicine. Jaye developed the Alchemy Life Strategy system, merging Five Elements with Nine Palaces for practical life application.
Together, they’ve trained hundreds of students in this profound work—both practitioners and people doing it for their own transformation.
This is ancient wisdom, transmitted through lineage, adapted for modern life.
We’re honored to walk this path with you.
