Alchemy / Through the Medicine Wheel is not a course in the conventional sense. It is a slow, embodied initiation, one that unfolds through shared wisdom and experience rather than an accumulation of knowledge.
The Medicine Wheel is approached here as a living map. Not symbolic. Not theoretical. But relational. Each direction carries its own teachings, embodiments, practices, and rites, offering a way to re-orient how we meet life, ourselves, and the seen and unseen realms.
This work is less about learning something new and more about remembering what has always been known in the body, but perhaps buried or forgotten over time.
In each direction, we work with a combination of Embodiments - these ask us to explore the ways we have been entrained and moulded by our consensus reality and the identities and social constructs that have been stamped on us without our conscious agreement or consent, as we begin to question and explore these constructs in an embodied and individual way whilst sharing our experiences and perspectives with our sisters on the journey, the ways of untangeling ourselves from false identeties and patriarchal narratives and reweaving ourselves into the co-creative web of the Mother lines and the Beauty Way becomes clear. Through the Embodiments we track and explore our wounds, beliefs and projections in a way that is held, honoured and loved into release and reclamation.
From the awareness we gain through the Embodiments, we enter into practices, rituals, and Rites to support this process of turning our wounds into medicine, or, as I like to say, “the poison into potions”.
This is a path of Feminine Initiation, reclamation of the Sacredness in our everyday, remembering that the land beneath your feet, wherever you are, is hallowed ground and that the true magick lies in the mundane, the moments of connection to the Earth, our bodies and each other.

This is not something to complete.It is the reclamation of your medicine and a map to your life.
