Alchemical Healing

During this volatile time, the principles of alchemy offer effective tools to thwart our apocalyptic bent. The classical arcane goal of turning lead into gold is an apt metaphor for the transformation we require now, both personally and globally. How can we enlighten the lead of depression, fear and despair that holds so many people hostage? By what methods can we turn the pandemic of environmentally based diseases into opportunities for a healthier and more fulfilled future?

Click here to isten to a podcast of the latest Introduction to Alchemical Healing with Nicki.

Whether responding to global issues or specific personal needs—whether for physical healing or for spiritual growth and development, our inherent ability to recognize and utilize available intelligence is often underestimated and overlooked. Alchemy is the process of turning the base substance of who we are—the dark mystery of our subconscious—into the alchemical gold of knowledge and enlightenment. Like carbon that undergoes tremendous amounts of heat and pressure in order to become a clear, hard, exquisite diamond, we master our lives and achieve clarity and brilliance through the management of pressure and our adversarial conditions.

Modern alchemy is emerging as one of the most powerful tools for transforming our reality, and Alchemical Healing, the comprehensive form developed by Nicki Scully, is an important vehicle for those who would heal themselves, and others. Alchemical Healing provides ways to weave spirit and matter, to develop communications between divinity and humanity, to transform experience into wisdom, and to skillfully influence physical reality to achieve healing and transformation. It honors the accumulated wisdom of the Earth and humankind, both in written and oral traditions, and it permits entry into the magical realms of intuition and limitless knowledge.

Through Alchemical Healing we consciously enter the infinite depths, prepared to bring forth that which has yet to be put into words, and to expand our capabilities to translate our magical experience into effective healing action.

Alchemical and Planetary Healing Intensive Eight Day Retreat

With Nicki Scully and other Alchemical Healing Teachers

July 2013, Dates to be Announced

This year I am excited to offer an eight day Alchemical and Planetary Healing Intensive retreat seminar. We have decided to consolidate the learning process in order to make it more accessible and with less travel required. The processes in our new book Planetary Healing: Spirit Medicine for Global Transformation were initially created to expand the scope of Alchemical Healing beyond one-on-one healing to a larger scale, where it can effect groups and situations such as environmental degradation, diseases, conflicts and disasters. In this retreat we will cover salient rites and initiations from the entire form, providing tools and experience that will give participants depth, breadth and confidence in their personal and planetary Alchemical Healing practices. This retreat is open to all levels of students and practitioners, and we will study the entire form, including processes and initiations from all three related texts (Alchemical Healing, Power Animal Meditations and Planetary Healing). Advanced students are encouraged to come to this retreat, as it will be both a refresher and an opportunity to learn and practice new techniques and receive new empowerments that were not given in the original intensives. This intensive class is a prerequisite for the Alchemical Healing Practitioner Certification.

Nicki's books, Planetary Healing (co-authored with her husband, Mark Hallert), Alchemical Healing and Power Animal Meditations are used as text books for this class, and can be purchased through our office or at your local bookstore.

The cost of this retreat, including most meals and basic indoor accommodations, tipi or tent space, is $1488. Please note: there will be a limited number of partial scholarships available.

Exploring the Great Work of Thoth: An Egyptian Mysteries Retreat

Co-created and led by Normandi Ellis and Nicki Scully

Thursday - Monday, September 19 - 23, 2013

Eugene, Oregon, at the Lyceum of Shamanic Egypt
at Nicki Scully's home/center/temple.

Online Registration Here…

Normandi Ellis (author of six books, including Awakening Osiris and Dreams of Isis) and Nicki Scully will be co-leading this intensive exploration of the ancient Egyptian teachings in a new, modern context. Under the guidance of Thoth, the lunar god of wisdom, we will learn how the ancients worked with natural laws that enhanced their abilities to create opportunities for magic to happen, and how that work can prepare us for the next stage of our evolutionary process.

Based on what we did on our last tour in Egypt and during our most recent Egyptian Mysteries retreat, we will be moving forward and deeper into the mysteries of Thoth and Isis. We will be bringing the energies expressed in the sacred sites and temples of Egypt home, so that wherever we stand, wherever we are, the power of these mysteries will be accessible to us.

Although the breadth of what we will cover is still a mystery, and details are rarely revealed until before and during the retreat, we know we will enter new portals into ancient teachings and learn how the ancients worked with natural laws that enhanced their abilities to create opportunities for magic to happen.

This retreat is about how thoughts are things, about magic-making, and the study of natural law. We know about the laws of vibration and like-attracts-like—the laws of manifestation and abundance are commonly spoken about. Yet there are more subtle laws, especially as expressed within the Egyptian Mysteries. For example, the law of environment defines how we make and work with sacred space and how we relate to it as a thought form. When we are with a group of like-minded people, as in like-attracts-like, things can happen that wouldn't otherwise happen. There are lots of other hidden laws that we will explore in this retreat, within the context of a new body of work designed by Thoth.

Thoth, our beloved teacher who is the lunar god of wisdom, magic, language, communications, healing, and science is the scribe/god that wrote the 42 sacred texts that address these natural laws. Thoth is in some creation stories considered the oldest. I have come to understand that he is not only the "teachers' teacher", he is also the principle of wisdom that the gods of Egypt call upon when they need guidance. It is he who taught Isis the magic that allowed her to raise her dead husband. He is also the architect behind the many of the most sophisticated spiritual systems, such as Tarot, Kabbalah, and the Western magical tradition.

Last March, Nicki and I spent 15 days of magic in Egypt, the land which is the cradle of our earthly and other-worldly states of consciousness. In this day and time beset by modern problems, we contemplate how to work inside the waves of grief which have accompanied the tsunami, turmoil and the rebellion against oppression worldwide. How do we citizens of the world envision ourselves stepping fully into the possibility of transformative, prayerful and affirmative awareness that has the potential to change the vibration of this planet? At the very least our explorations have the ability to change our consciousness and the consciousness of those around us.

The work that Nicki and I did in Egypt turned us toward a deeper understanding of the way the ancient mysteries still live within us. And it gave us a taste of what we will do during the Egyptian Mysteries Retreat this year; working with Thoth to explore the nine states of consciousness as understood by the Egyptian initiates and applying those insights to help us step fully into life in a world beyond 2012. Please join us in Eugene this July. We invite you to share with us your experiences during this powerful and poignant moment in our planet's evolution and history.

—Normandi Ellis
