Practical Alchemy

Embodied Wisdom – Feminine-Centered Facilitation – Transformational Leadership
The journey of the alchemist is a journey of transformation. Practical Alchemy is a training that combines authentic personal transformation with the development of feminine-centered facilitation skills. This 40 hour residential intensive weaves a link between personal healing and social change, between practice and principle, which is the foundation for the true embodiment of any and all teaching material. The way of transformation invites you to be the change you want to see in the world.
Practical Alchemy is for Visionaries, Mothers, Revolutionaries, Ministers, Journeyers, Healers, Activists, and anyone who:
- Has vision and is ready to share it
- Is ready to build community and create transformational change
- Is ready to unleash the fullest potential of their organization and team
““Shakti’s model of facilitation trains the facilitator to first trust her intuition and deviate from the outline if necessary. How many facilitator training’s teach the facilitator that its OK to steer off the beaten path if its in best service of the group? To do this, the facilitators become masters of guiding the group to the “north star”. And we all know that when you follow the north star, you’ll always find your way.”
-Erin Lightfoot, graduate student of Transformative Leadership

“There’s a ton of programs being offered these days about feminine leadership/empowerment…and then there’s Practical Alchemy – which helps you intuitively recognize, organically cultivate, and naturally unleash the authentic feminine leader/teacher you already are, so you can create lasting change on this planet…[Shakti is] one of the most genuine and important social change organizations on the planet. They are loaded with integrity and potency.”
-Sera Beak, author of Red, Hot and Holy

Praxis Communities walk in the tradition of Christ and represent expressions of church outside the conventional mold. Praxis Communities are united by common practice, or praxis, which is the act of simply doing something – the putting of theory into action. These small groups and communities commit to walking the spiritual path together and sharing how faith practices transform their lives. They include campus ministries, intentional communities, art galleries, prayer chapels, and groups that come together for meals, prayer, and creative endeavors, and are born out of the Diocese of Southern Ohio (Episcopal).
