Introducing a New Alchemy Experience
The Embodied Truth of Leadership
3-day immersion/ drop- ins possible
September 4th-6st, 2026
Our 6-Day Alchemy Immersion has become one of our most profound and transformational offerings.
Again and again, participants tell us that it is the combination of preparation, ceremony, embodiment and integration that creates lasting change.
That will never change.
Our 6-Day Alchemy Retreat remains our deepest recommendation for anyone seeking profound personal transformation, and we announce our here March 2027 Alchemy Immersion which will be offered together with an Alchemy Women’s Retreat, a Breathwork facilitator training and a Kambo Practitioner training.
At the same time, we’ve received many requests from people who cannot commit to six full days but still wish to experience the depth and integrity of the Alchemy approach.
We listened.
For September, we’re introducing a new format:

Why this format?
Because profound transformation doesn’t always require more time.
It requires the right sequence.
Professional facilitation.
A regulated nervous system.
And enough space for integration.
We created this format to meet the growing demand for a shorter immersion while staying true to everything Alchemy stands for.
We look forward to welcoming you to this experience. This retreat requires mental and physical health
Alchemy is the art of transformation through relationship and time.
Not bypass. Not catharsis. Not transcendence.
At its core, alchemy asks one uncompromising question:
Can you stay present long enough for something to truly change?
Who Alchemy Is For
Alchemy is for people who have already crossed a threshold
and are now asking a different question:
How do I live what I know—consistently, relationally, and embodied?
This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about owning who you already are.
This experience is for you if:
You’ve already done deep personal work
(medicine, therapy, somatics, spiritual practice, loss, rupture, initiation)You are no longer seeking catharsis or constant breakthrough
You feel a quiet readiness to step into embodied leadership
You can be in silence without dissociating or performing
You are curious about aliveness, not intensity
You value maturity, humor, and grounded presence
You are willing to be in community without fixing, saving, or collapsing
You sense that leadership now asks responsibility, not expansion
What This Is Not
Alchemy is designed as an immersive, relational experience for those already grounded in their own process.
To support clarity and alignment, it’s important to name what this experience is not intended to be.
This is not a healing retreat focused on resolving acute issues or processing unresolved trauma
This is not a training or certification program
This is not a therapeutic container or substitute for clinical care
This is not an entry-level experience for those new to deep inner work
This is not structured around peak experiences or constant activation
Alchemy is oriented toward integration, presence, and embodied leadership — not intervention or instruction.
What to bring:
Comfortable cloths
Bug spray
Journal
Towel for refreshment
Cloths for changing
For registration please reach out by mail to schedule a call.
We can’t wait to have you
With love,
Natalie, Wayne & Ash
