I’m coming to Alchemy because I’ve been dreaming of it ever since the last one…

Last updated on: September 18, 2013 at 1:23 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

The reason I’m going to Alchemy, is because I have been dreaming of it ever since the first Alchemy! And as part of the Core Circle, I have had the honor of helping to plan and create this wonderful event. There lots of reason I could share for why I personally am going, however, instead I want to share my dream, my intention of what it will be, and in doing so, invite you to hold this dream with me...

I’m coming to Alchemy to be empowered and inspired

Last updated on: September 16, 2013 at 3:27 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

As one who has attended Alchemy One, I am so happy to be attending Alchemy Two as well. It is an opportunity to connect with remarkable women from all over the world, engage in meaningful dialogue, gain some new wisdom and insight, and just BE together in a lovely setting. One of the things I especially love about Alchemy is the embracing and encouragement of younger women, supporting them to fulfill their highest visions and dreams so that they can... Read more

I’m going to Alchemy to be part of the tsunami of feminine spirit

Last updated on: September 12, 2013 at 3:18 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

There are so many reasons why I am excited about being part of the reunion of souls at Alchemy: Occupy Your Sacred Self. Yes, I want to be part of the tsunami of feminine spirit that is going to transform our world and it feels like this Alchemy gathering will keep the edge of that wave building and moving. I want to fly up above this gathering like a hawk and catch a glimpse of the amazing web of women, organizations, networks,... Read more

I’m going to Alchemy because I’m ready to roar

Last updated on: September 9, 2013 at 3:15 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

I grew up in an America that discouraged women from openly exhibiting our power. I married and had two children, at which time safety for my family often required my public silence. My children are now grown and don’t share my last name. I am ready to roar and want to be with women who aren’t afraid to assert themselves and don’t see all success as competition with them. I am proud of what my country has accomplished since the... Read more

Why I’m saying “Yes!” to Alchemy?

Last updated on: September 6, 2013 at 2:29 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

During the past two years I have experienced the power of saying “Yes” to an invitation or idea at the very tiniest resonance I feel. How do you explain saying “Yes” when you don’t know why, when it makes no sense, when there is no time, when there is no money, when there is just a little inner twang that says: “Hey, I want to be there!” Like so many situations in a life of expanding, experience is the teacher...

I’m going to Alchemy because the first one BLEW MY MIND

Last updated on: September 5, 2013 at 7:41 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

There are conferences you go to and forget about, and then there are those that BLOW YOUR MIND. For me, the 2011 Alchemy conference was the latter. Even how I got there was mind blowing. Looking for funding for my PhD, I sat down at my school computer and googled: “Women, spirituality and scholarships.” Up popped this website for “Women of Spirit and Faith” of which I read everything, and understood nothing. I was about to close the window when... Read more

Why come to “Alchemy: Occupy your sacred self”?

Last updated on: September 4, 2013 at 5:53 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Ask someone why they went to the grocery store and you’re likely to get a fairly simple answer (“Duh, I needed groceries”). Ask them why they went to school to study and you might get slightly more varied responses: (I needed the qualification / I was interested in the subject / I wanted to drink lots of beer and have my parents pay, etc). Ask a woman why she’s going to “Alchemy: Occupy Your Sacred Self” and you just let... Read more

Did your most profound learning experience happen in a classroom?

Last updated on: August 27, 2013 at 3:47 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Looking back over your whole life, what was the most profound learning experience you ever had, either inside or outside the classroom? This is the question I have been asking all of the women I am interviewing for my PhD. I’m yet to properly look at the “data” but something I’ve already noticed: whilst many of the women have a lot of formal education under their belt, not one has mentioned anything that happened in a classroom. In my own... Read more

Dreaming of Spiritual Development of Children and Adults

Last updated on: August 20, 2013 at 2:23 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

I have a dream that we in the United States will ensure that we include spiritual development of children and adults in our schools, churches, community centers and in the media. I would like to see experiential learning programs that are interactive, co-creative and spiritual grow global citizens. It is great to be an American, and it is an ever greater and higher calling to be a global citizen. Let’s teach that the power of love is what the world... Read more

Educating the next generation: Faith Not of Our Fathers

Last updated on: August 15, 2013 at 3:33 pm By Women of Spirit and Faith

Passing faith onto my children has been exceedingly tricky for me. I was brought up in a very strict version of the pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic religion. In this religion, all thoughts and actions were codified as either venial or mortal sins. Any attempts to identify one’s own actions as good were, in themselves, sins of pride. It is difficult to guide a family when one is prostrate before an all powerful, all-knowing presence who seeks to keep us groveling... Read more
