Introduction to Alchemical Inner Work

How can we apply the principles of alchemy to our inner work?

As a psychological tool, alchemy provides a symbolic framework of how to understand the nature of the psyche. Drawing upon the metaphorical language and concrete practices of the alchemical art, this class explores how to identify the prima materia (an initiating point of our self-work) and the practical techniques to facilitate its development and transformation.

In this class we cover:

• A Jungian understanding of alchemy
• The significance of symbolism in alchemical language and how it relates to the psyche
• Techniques for identifying and symbolically representing the prima materia in our personal experiences
• Core alchemical operations and their psychological counterparts
• Practical applications of alchemical inner work principles for personal transformation and self-discovery
