WHAT IS THE ALCHEMISTS WORKSHOP?
We are each working with powerful elemental forces within ourselves to create balance, energy and power.
As modern men, these forces are pulled out of balance, which saps our vitality and robs us of experiencing life fully, passionately, and successfully.
By exploring these elements through a variety of practices, we can transform ourselves and create new lives.
After years of solo-study and rarely finding gatherings of men to study with in Texas, five practitioners have gathered to combine what works for us, to learn from one another, and to share all of this with as many men as possible in ways that really work.
The Alchemists Workshop is an online and in-person program for men consisting of:
- Advanced biohacking
- Self-exploration
- Meditation practices
The program is designed for you to both see and feel long-term benefits such as:
- Unlocking abundant energy
- Connecting with others on a deeper level
- Facing the pain inside of you
- Find your sources of power
- Discovering new practices to maintain these benefits for years to come
Over the course of the program, you will participate in:
- Preparation Zoom sessions, with speakers and resources to get ready for the weekend
- A 3-Day retreat at Golden Hill Retreat Center outside of Houston, going deep in a safe space
- Integration Zoom sessions, bringing these profound practices into our lives
WHO IS THE ALCHEMISTS WORKSHOP FOR?
Our program is for men 21 years of age or older who seek more out of life. Let us ask you…
- Have you felt that you're not seeing the results you want in regards to your health, finances, relationships, or even your relationship with your self?
- Have there been any events in your life that you feel have had a negative impact on your day-to-day life?
- Do you feel there is something much more, something much bigger to life that seems just out of reach?
- Do you feel stuck in the day-to-day grind with your work or relationships, and need a hard reset to find your fire again?
- Have you wanted to connect with like-minded men who are also on the path of personal, spiritual, and professional growth?
If any of these sound like you, then…
THE ALCHEMISTS WORKSHOP IS FOR MEN WHO ARE READY TO HEAL AND GROW.
This program will be challenging and rewarding. It will provide a wide range of innovative practices to revitalize your mind, body, and spirit.
It will celebrate your masculinity while also opening up your vulnerability. It will not be for closed-minded men, but will help those who are “stuck” in a rut or numb.
- If you are not completely satisfied in every area of your life...
- If you feel that you're not living your best life...
- If you don't feel fully connected with yourself and others...
Then the Alchemists Workshop is for you.
MEET YOUR FELLOW ALCHEMISTS.
We all come from diverse backgrounds, but we share the same goal, which is to authentically share our skills, knowledge, and tools we have gained on this journey with other men to help them level up their lives quickly.
Additionally, we will introduce you to several special guests and speakers throughout the workshop.
