Alchemy for the Soul
A 10-Month Somatic Journey Through the Tree of Life
A Sacred Path of Embodiment, Healing & Divine Remembering
Rooted in the sacred teachings of Qabalah, Hermeticism, and the art of Gnosis, this transformational path is a living invitation to rewire your consciousness, reawaken your body, and reclaim your divine essence.
What Is Alchemy for the Soul?
This is a yoga of the West — a sacred map for personal evolution. Through deep study and embodied practices, you’ll walk the Tree of Life from Malkuth (Earth) to Kether (Crown), accessing 10 Spheres of consciousness that illuminate:
Healing from generational patterns and early imprints
Strengthening your light body and energetic core
Reawakening soul memory and intuitive power
Manifesting with integrity, purpose, and joy
Living in alignment with divine natural law
Why Qabalah & Hermeticism?
As Dion Fortune described, the Qabalistic Tree of Life is the foundational glyph of the Western Mysteries — a sacred science of the soul that serves the same evolutionary function as the yogic paths of the East. It is the Yoga of the West, not in terms of physical postures, but as a systematic path of spiritual initiation that refines the mind, aligns the emotions, and awakens the divine intelligence latent within the human body.
Whereas Eastern yoga may emphasize transcendence and stillness, the Western path teaches us to become vessels of divine will while fully embodied — in the marketplace, in our relationships, in our soul-aligned work.
The Alchemy for the Soul journey is not about escaping the world, renouncing daily life, or cloistering yourself in self-absorbed mysticism. On the contrary:
It is a path for those called to live their divinity through the body — to anchor the Holy Guardian Angel (or Higher Self) into the rhythms of human life, to serve as a vessel of love, justice, and remembrance in their communities, families, and creative work.
Through the Tree of Life, you begin to see that God is not “up there” — God is within, and the temple is your body.
This sacred path helps you:
Activate your divine blueprint and intuitive knowing
Rewire inherited patterns and trauma through somatic alignment
Restore your nervous system to its natural rhythm
Live with greater sovereignty, grace, and soul-led discernment
You do not become a monk.
You become a living temple.
Structure of the 10-Month Journey
A Monthly Pathway of Immersion and Integration
In-Person Activation Weekends for Alchemy for the Soul
Over the 10-month journey, students are invited into four immersive weekend gatherings to deepen their transformation, receive transmission in sacred space, and embody the teachings of each level in person. These are not lectures, but initiatory containers where the Tree of Life is activated through ritual, meditation, resonance, and presence.
