Master Alchemy Apprenticeship Program – YaoWang Shan Continuation

You are invited to continue your  Alchemy journey with your YaoWang Shan cohort as a member of the Master Alchemy Apprentice Program (MAAP).

Over many years now, we have watched our amazing students in each cohort magically transform their lives. We are very excited to continue to offer this program to you and your cohort, YaoWang Shan. Our mission is to provide a container of love and acceptance for you to study, grow, expand, and be held communally as you move through your own self-cultivation, self-healing, and potentially becoming an Alchemy Practitioner/Facilitator who brings this work out into the world. We recognize and respect that each and every student must move at their own pace, even within the cohort — that is why we have designed so much flexibility and customization of the program for each person.  We really want everyone to find their way in the MAAP. 

This second half of our Level 1 program dives even deeper into your study of Alchemical Chinese Medicine and the path of Alchemy for Self-Cultivation.  Your studies as an Alchemist-in-Training will take you to places that will surprise and delight you on so many levels!  You will also be invited to our Alchemy October Retreat in Santa Fe – with this year’s focus will be on your Five Spirits in your Alchemy journey.

You can participate in this program in one of two ways:

  1. Self-Cultivation track, and
  2. Ghost Points Certification Practitioner (Level 1) track.

Zoom Program Schedule (next 6 months)

All times are in Eastern Time Zone. As always, the syllabus may be subject to change — because we are always changing!

  • [May 28th 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.] Stage Two of Alchemy (Part 1)
    • Building Your Alchemical Cauldron: Stage Two of Alchemy is about building safety internally and then removing the armor that protects the heart. This is about releasing the baggage of this lifetime.
  • [June 11th 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.] Stage Two of Alchemy (Part 2)
    • Releasing the Baggage of This Lifetime / the Best Protection is No Protection
  • [June 25th 7:30 – 9:30 p.m.] The Tentacles of the Heart (Part 1)
    • Stage Two of Alchemy corresponds to the Heart Pains treatment. As we begin our deep dive into “The Best Protection is No Protection,” we learn about the tentacles of the heart that prevent our hearts from being free.
  • [July 16th 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.] The Tentacles of the Heart (Part 2)
    • The Tentacles of the Heart are invoked by triggers in our daily life. What are those triggers and how do they trigger your heart pains?
  • [July 30th 7:30 – 9:30 p.m.]  The 5 Confucian Virtues
    • The 5 Confucian Virtues are in direct conflict with our Authenticity. These are the virtues that society attempts to place on us. Daoist virtues prioritize your authentic individuality. 
  • [August 27th 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.] The Five Virtues continued (Earth and Metal)

  • [September 3rd 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.] The Five Virtues continued (Water)

  • [September 10th 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.] Removing Obstacles

    • The Nine Palaces and Alchemical Life Strategy – the importance of addressing the Nine Palaces in someone’s life when working through the Nine Stage of Alchemy. You may be able to fly, but do you need flying lessons?

  • [September 24th 7:30-9:30 p.m.] Daoist Numerology and the Thirteen Appearances

    • Before our Retreat, you will need to know the Thirteen Appearances, which is based in Daoist Numerology. The Thirteen Appearances are the most powerful instructions for life in Daoism. It maps out how to do anything in your life based on your Five Spirits.

  • October 15th 5:00 – 7:00p.m. – Retreat Treatments, Wrap-Up, Next Steps
