Embodied Mysticism
This program is equivalent to the deep end of the ocean of spiritual practice. Strong embodiment practices, deep inner work, esoteric exploration, wisdom studies, and rituals are all part of this journey. It is meant for those who are eager to dive deeper into mysticism, nature, and their own lives.
Falling under the element of Water within the modalities here at Alchemy Yoga Center, we will deeply focus on the wisdom of water, exploring teachings from both yoga and indigenous cultures, and learning how to honor water reverently.
Practically, it will weave together fundamental elements of profound personal practice, such as internal and external practices, wisdom cultivation, integration into daily life, personal healing, self-inquiry, and more!
