The Alchemy Lab Workshop Series
Why Alchemy? Why Now?
With Leta Herman & Jaye McElroy and Guest Teachers Brittney Chowning, Leora Esterra
Join Alchemy Learning Center for a transformative workshop series exploring the timeless wisdoms of Alchemy as a path of healing, self-cultivation, and personal evolution.
Beginning in June, each workshop offers a unique opportunity to dive deeply into a specific aspect of the Alchemical tradition—from understanding the foundational stages of inner transformation to working with plant spirit healing, finding your inner guidance with the Five Spirits, cultivating a free heart by releasing you hooks, exploring creative expression, and navigating life’s most profound transitions.
Designed for both newcomers, self-practitioners, and experienced healers/practitioners, these immersive online workshops combine practical teachings, spiritual insight, and experiential learning to help participants cultivate greater awareness, balance, and transformation in their daily lives.
Each workshop is offered as a standalone event, allowing you to attend the topics that resonate most with your personal journey. Live attendees will receive access to the workshop replay for one week following the event.

Why Alchemy? Why Now? Why ask Why?
Is there more to life? More potential for growth, more happiness, more fulfillment of your soul’s purpose? If so, Alchemy might be the radical transformation that you are seeking.
We live in a time when we are collectively being guided to move through life on autopilot — to be told how to think, how to feel, when to speak up, and when to stay quiet. Bombarded by media static and endless distraction, it becomes easy to drift from our own spiritual nature and our own deepest questions. But what if we could part the veil? What if we could step outside that dream-like state and wake up to something more real (maybe less AI)?
Many of us are already doing exactly that. Whether you are just beginning to sense that there is more to life than what’s in front of you, or you have been walking a spiritual path for years and are ready to go deeper — Alchemy meets you where you are. It gives you a roadmap, a direction, and clear guidance for how to walk it. If you come feeling stuck or thwarted, Alchemy breaks through the obstacles. If you come already moving but still yearning — still sensing that your fullest potential hasn’t yet been reached — Alchemy shows you the way there.
At the heart of the Alchemy Lab Workshop Series is Alchemical Life Strategy — an approach created through the merging of Jaye and Leta’s wisdom and studies, rooted in the ancient Daoist philosophy of the Five Elements, the Nine Palaces, and the Nine Stages of Alchemy. It begins by clearing away everything that isn’t you but has hooked into your body, your heart, and your mind — so that you can return to the essential nature you were born with.
From that place of clarity, the deeper questions become possible — and the adventure begins. Who are you? What is your purpose? How do you actually live your fullest potential? These are not heavy questions. They are the most exciting questions a human being can ask.
The Five Elements reveal your essential nature. The Nine Palaces illuminate your purpose and the values that matter most to you. And Alchemy provides the transformational power that frees your spirit to navigate this earthly life fully and authentically.
Why did you come into this body to live this life? Alchemy is the process of discovering that answer… and then, it is up to you what path you will go!
Alchemy is the process of discovering — and Alchemical Life Strategy is the art of actually living it.
The Alchemy Lab Workshop Series runs June through December 2026.
All workshops are offered online. CEUs available for licensed practitioners through NCBAHM and California Board.
