☯️ 2027 Alchemy School Doors Are Open! Plus: Free Live Event - Nov 17th


Hello Reader,

Applications for Alchemy School are now open.

We are so excited to open our doors for the Master Alchemy Apprenticeship Program 2027. Our first year, which we call “Alchemy School,” is the foundation for everything we teach about Alchemy and Alchemical Healing, and many of our past students have told us it feels just like that, and they love it. Our first class begins on January 11, 2027.

Why Alchemy, and why now

We are living in extraordinary times in so many ways. Modern medicine’s technological advances are remarkable on a mechanistic level, and still so many people feel that something deeper has been left unseen, especially when the suffering is emotional or spiritual and shows up as long-term illness, including autoimmune conditions.

Medicine has learned to treat the body with great precision, but it has few tools for the suffering underneath. That is where Alchemy and Alchemical Chinese Medicine really begin, with seeing all of you.

Alchemy is an ancient tradition of deep understanding of who we are, combined with a pathway that evolves our consciousness. It is the map that takes you from Pain to Possibility, and from simply Surviving to Thriving.


Come spend an evening with us

If you’d like to feel what this path is like from the inside before you decide, join us for a free live evening with Dr. Julie TwoMoon, a naturopath and certified Alchemy Practitioner, and a graduate of our MAAP program.

This live event is called From Pain to Possibility: The Alchemical Journey from Surviving to Thriving.

We’ll talk about how to navigate the path from Pain to Possibility and how to advocate for your care as you walk your own Alchemical health journey.

Then we’ll meditate together, live, in a practice you can return to on your own.

Tuesday, November 17, 7:00 PM Eastern (6:00 Central, 5:00 Mountain, 4:00 Pacific)

No background in medicine, Daoism, or Alchemy is needed, and if you can’t join live, register and we’ll send you the replay, available for 72 hours.

See you there,

Leta & Jaye

P.S. Alchemy is for anyone genuinely called to it, whether you’re a practitioner, a healer, or a self-cultivator. We’re often asked whether you can join even if you’re not a licensed acupuncturist, and the answer is YES!

Hello Reader, This Friday, November 13, Five Element Friday is all about parents and children, and that includes every one of us, because we were all children once. Every child arrives with their own Elemental makeup and their own curriculum, the lessons and longings they came here to live out. But a child’s Elements are often very different from their parents’ Elements. A quick Wood parent can feel too fast for a thoughtful Earth child. A bubbly Fire parent can wear out a quiet Metal child...

Five Element Fridays

Hello Reader, Here’s a Halloween question that might follow you around all weekend: what if the thing you’re most afraid of isn’t out there in the dark, but in here, in you? What if the monster in the story is your own natural power, so big and so alive that you worry it could hurt someone just by being fully expressed? Every Element carries this secret fear in its own way, and it sounds like “I might be too much.” Our Halloween Special this Friday is called ELEMENTAL FEARS & NIGHTMARES, and...
