Start walking your Alchemy path. Meet the Nine Stages of Alchemy – and find exactly where you are on the Alchemy map.
CEUs: NCBAHM Approved · California Approved
For practitioners and self-cultivators alike. This path begins with you.
You’re Not at the Beginning. You’re at a Threshold.
If you’ve found this page, you’ve probably already been introduced to this work. Maybe you’ve been listening to the Inspired Action Alchemy podcast on your commute. Maybe you tried the “Who Am I” meditation and felt some inspiration for Alchemy stirring inside. Maybe you spent a Monday evening meditating live with our Meditation Monday group and thought: there is something more here.
Here’s what we’ve noticed after twenty years of teaching: seekers love to collect things. Books, retreats, modalities, insights – each one helps, and none of them quite adds up to an Alchemical/transformational path. Not because you’re it’s wrong, but because it’s piecemeal and not following a guided journey.
A map exists. It’s 1,700 years old. The Daoist Alchemists called it the Nine Stages of Alchemy – a complete arc of human transformation, from the person who senses there is more to life than this, all the way to the one who has become it. This course opens that map all at once – and shows you where you’re standing on it.

Every path up this mountain passes through the same gate: understanding the map and doing Alchemy for yourself first. Whether your journey ends with your own transformation or continues all the way to facilitating others through MAAP – it starts here.
Inside the Course:
Four hours of teaching, broken into short self-paced modules – with guided exercises between them, because in Alchemy you don’t learn the map by looking at it. You learn it by finding yourself on it.
- The complete arc of the Nine Stages of Alchemy – the whole picture, all at once, in plain language
- Guided exercises after each module to locate yourself: which stage you’re in, what it’s asking of you, and what comes next
- A new way to read your own history – not as damage to recover from, but as curriculum you’ve been moving through
- A clear, honest answer to the question every seeker carries: ‘Where am I – and how do I actually begin?’
Take it in an afternoon or take a month!
Your spirit is like gold — it cannot tarnish or degrade, and nothing that has happened or will ever happen can harm it.

- The clinical lens: the layer beneath your patients’ most persistent patterns that symptom-focused modalities never reach

- CEU certification: NCBAHM approved, California approved (short completion quiz included)

Who’s Teaching?

We’re Leta and Jaye. We’ve walked this path for over twenty years – studying Daoist Alchemy with 88th-generation Daoist priest Master Jeffrey Yuen, practicing it daily in our clinic, and teaching hundreds of students, from first-time seekers to certified practitioners. This course is the map we wish someone had opened for us at the beginning.
– with love, Leta & Jaye
