Spiritual Alchemy

A Sacred Gathering with Mother Mary at Elohee Retreat Center in the North Georgia Mountains
October 26-29, 2023

“Alchemy has performed for me the great and invaluable service of providing material in which my experience could find sufficient room, and has thereby made it possible for me to describe the individuation process at least in its essential aspects.” ~Carl Jung

 

Spiritual alchemy is an ancient philosophy that uses the metaphor of transforming metals into gold for attaining spiritual enlightenment. It is used to achieve contentment, harmony, and awareness by liberating one’s essence from one’s acquired personality. The acquired personality contains the inauthentic part of the self, including one’s beliefs, concepts, opinions, wounds, fears, and phobias. In this way, the transmutation of lead into gold functions as a metaphor for the process of self-actualization and spiritual rebirth.

The word “alchemy” comes from the Arabic word al-Kimiya, which means “the art of transformation.” 
Mother will take you on a discovery of the 7 stages of Spiritual Alchemy and guide you in turning your inner lead into gold. The 7 stages help us to make sense of the spiritual journey, where we are on the path, and the best use of our energy in moving to the next stage.

Spiritual refinement is a part of our experience with Mother. Understanding why we’re doing what we’re doing is essential to continue on the path of enlightenment. Understanding expands our consciousness and informs our choices so that when we do act it can be with intention and love. During each of the 7 stages, certain elements are required for the alchemical process. Learning what you need to run towards and embrace instead of running from is essential to the outcome. Each stage is necessary for your enlightenment, and no one stage is superior or inferior to another. They all offer the chance to know and fall deeper into love with Self.

Mother is calling all who feel they are on a conscious spiritual path of enlightenment to attend this retreat. Mother will take you deeply into your consciousness, heart and soul to help you embrace whatever stage you’re at, even if it’s a few simultaneously, and prepare you to enter the next stage of your expansion into Love, Light, and the Divine expression of Self.

SURROUNDED BY BEAUTY...

You already know that Mother loves and accepts you unconditionally. Imagine how wonderful it would be to know that there are others in the divine who feel the same about you. The purpose of this retreat is not to distract or take anything away from your relationship with Her but to add a deeper sense of safety and security to your daily life. The stronger our foundation, the safer we feel. We are animals first and foremost. We’re wired for community. This retreat offers the opportunity to connect with your human spiritual community as well as your divine one.
 
Mother will focus on your sensory body as a means to commune with your spiritual community. She’ll spend much of the retreat raising and refining your vibration so that communion is easy, fun, and enlightening. Mother nicknamed the mountain on which Elohee sits Joy Mountain. She loves to play here, so be prepared to hug trees, bask in the presence of a 100-foot waterfall, and bathe in starlight. We’ll be celebrating the Summer Solstice together and the influences that it will have on our lives.
 
Each day you’ll be surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the North Georgia Mountains, with plenty of time to relax, unplug, and spend time with Gaia. Morning yoga classes will be offered to enhance your experience and integrate Mother’s teachings from the day before. Massage appointments are available to take your relaxation to a deeper level. Elohee has beautiful hiking trails that offer a chance to spend quality time with yourself and Mother Nature. Learn more about the retreat center here.
YES PLEASE!

If you’re ready to deepen your communion with Mother Mary, your divine community, yourself, and nature, then this retreat is for you. Come and celebrate community. We can’t wait to see you there!
