Building Your Alchemical Cauldron: Fall 2023 Retreat

The path of the Alchemist is a gentle path yet can be sometimes fierce with the quest for wisdom, experience, peace, love…and more!

☯️Build Your Alchemical Cauldron – your safe foundation for Alchemical changes & transformations

☯️Five Element Rapport and Intimacy Exercises – creating deeper levels of connection

☯️Flex Your Heart Muscles – opening and accessing the void of your heart

☯️Begin living your full potential and an authentic life

For Practitioners: We must first personally experience Alchemy before we can help others along the path. It is so helpful and inspiring to embark on your own Alchemy path and self cultivation before you begin treating others.

For Self-Cultivators: Come supercharge your Alchemy October 5th – 7th. Build your alchemical cauldron through meditation and exercises that create a safe space (the cauldron) inside yourself to love yourself soooo much that you can free your heart from your heart pains. This is the fundamental step that many skip when doing higher level spiritual work (from any tradition). Join our apprentices for some fun, laughter, self-realizations and tons of ah-ha moments!

This is a transformational opportunity to practice and embrace a personal self-cultivation routine with guidance, open-heartedness, mutual appreciation, like-mindedness, support and with an amazing group of healers from around the world! 

October 5th – Begin with a quiet evening (7:00 – 9:00) of profound self-inquiry with an Alchemical meditation that creates a safe space inside yourself (your cauldron) that you can generate self-love,self acceptance and awareness from within yourself. This cauldron sets up your foundation to do your Alchemical transformations, and meditations in a slow but safe path to the higher meditations. 

October 6th – The day will be dedicated to self-inquiry and Alchemical transformation through the process of freeing your heart.

October 7th – This day we will focus on all Five Elements and how to connect with each Element through Elemental exercises with our apprentices. Learn how to better communicate with others AND yourself through Five Elemental Energetics.

Who should attend:

We feel, Alchemy requires self-cultivation that enables you to undergo deep and vulnerable transformation. Together we can motivate, grow, and influence each other on our own separate but intertwined Alchemical journeys.

Leta Herman and Jaye McElroy bring you this Alchemy retreat from the perspective of Alchemical Chinese Medicine Healing. As we delve into the Daoist Meditation and Chinese Medicine philosophies of human energetics and priorities, we can come to a better understanding our own authenticity.

Change can feel scary because it takes us into the unknown... "The Mystery Gate." But if you're willing to make the commitment to yourself, to knowing there is something more, even if you don’t know what that is, that’s the first step in Alchemy/Transformation. The greatest investment you can make is in yourself. Once you understand and accept your natural strengths and weaknesses, you can stop beating yourself up and start celebrating your natural gifts.

2022 Master Alchemists Retreat

Alchemy is the path less traveled...

If you’re attracted to Alchemy and to the ways it can transform your life, you must ultimately walk it alone. But we like to say you can have friends along the way, who will share the path with you. Many Alchemists retreated to the mountains in the old days, to practice in small groups. This is a tradition of living life differently than people do in mainstream modern culture. The focus is on self-cultivation. We’ve been practicing Alchemy for many years now. We are also lucky to have found and built a community of others who want to practice with us.

Building Your Cauldron - October Retreat 2023

Focus and Intention

The retreat was an important aspect of bonding with the MAAP group near the start of our studies. Being in person was crucial for exercises like the 5-Element dialogues. It was a great way for many of us to complete our clinical observation and for others to experience their long treatments with the support of the group. Retreat time created an intimacy that we could then sustain over Zoom during our weekly classes and through the homework and class challenge exercises.
