Featured Event
An Introduction to Alchemical Healing
with Benjamin Fox and Lorie Eve Dechar
April 5 – 8, 2017
Menla Retreat in Phoenicia, NY
This weekend retreat is a doorway into our work – the art and practice of healing as transformation.
We delve into the alchemical principles at the heart of Chinese medicine, Western astrology, and depth psychology, observing an attitude toward impasse and symptom that recognizes the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit as the foundation of true health. We also discover how healing can move beyond protocol and pain relief to become a creative experience that enlivens and transforms the soul. The inner work of alchemy opens a doorway to a new consciousness that ultimately extends beyond the personal to the healing of our communities and our planet.
