Retreat Medicine: Alchemy of the Season

Dear Alchemist, 

It is time to co-create a new story, in this now, at this time.

Alchemy is the process of change, and Alchemy of the Season offers us the map. Alchemy of the Season was founded in 2020 to be a community based, seasonally inspired vehicle for change.

Inspired by the practice of Celtic Shamanism, and guided by the Celtic Wheel of the Year, we are re-awakening to our sacred ancestral knowledge. As we learn to follow the seasonal, lunar and astrological cycles, we ground down through our bodies, onto the wider tapestry that holds and informs all natural rhythms and cycles of life.

Through sound, rhythm, food, dance, laughter, botanicals & herbs, movement, breath, fire, art and creativity, we begin to remember. Together, we can unlearn and uncouple from our cultural programming of “separation”, practice finding balance and regulation in our nervous systems, weaving our way back to our authentic selves, our centers, our hearts. As we find balance in our centers, together we find balance in communities.

It is time to re-member, re-wise, and re-turn to ourselves and our true natures. It is time to uncover the collective sacred wisdom many of us have long forgotten. Let us build something beautiful together.

With love, 

Your team at Alchemy of the Season
