Introduction to Alchemy: -Shauna
Aura & Mark Mandrake
To put it simply, Alchemy is the science of changing one
substance into another. It is the uniting of internal and external forces
working in unison towards a process of continuous evolution.
Although hundreds of years old, the ancient wisdom of Alchemy teaches as
much as other esoteric tools such as Astrology, Tarot, or Kabbalah. Modern
Alchemy the spiritual process of transforming the "lead" of our souls into
their purest form of "gold" so our lives are transformed to the highest
human potential. This workshop teaches the
7 Steps of Alchemy in a modern context, and uses meditation,
art, and energy work to teach accessible tools that can be used in ritual
and daily practice.
12 Steps of Addiction Alchemy: -Shauna
Aura & Mark Mandrake
The crisis of addiction, whether substance abuse or
behavioral patterns, can create a unique opportunity for spiritual growth.
The 12 Steps program has been used to manage addiction, and its language and
methods can be exclusionary to modern Pagans and Magical Practitioners. By
combining the seven major steps ofalchemy(Calcination through Coagulation)
and the four classical elements, along with the heart of 12 Steps, we can
release the energy that is stored in addictive behavior and undergo a
transmutation towards a more integrated self.
We will discuss the "Alchemical 12 Steps" and talk about how
to run an addictions circle for your community.
