TESTIMONIAL

One of my most cherished and intimate experiences with my own spirituality. Ria Mae's biweekly Alchemy 101 course and the support she provides in the spiritual community facilitated a maturation of my inner knowledge that would've otherwise taken me years of scattered readings, and misguided practice to achieve. The depth and range of the material she teaches alone empowered the perception I have of myself and the world around me. But the practice time allocated to put these tools to work in my life is where I witnessed the significant changes happening within me and around me. If you have a keen interest in occult practices and are ready to dedicate energy in applying energetic principles, teachings and astrology to your life, I highly recommend a course like Ria-Mae's. — Emma Power

NEXT LIVE ONLINE SEMESTER?

Since 2016 I've been teaching this course as either a live in-person or online class. Finally, during the 2020-2021 semester, I recorder formal lectures for the program to accommodate people who want to self-initiate themselves through the process at a scaled cost. Does this mean I will no longer be teaching live classes? For the moment, as I'm finishing up the 2020-2021 semester, I have no plans to offer another round of live courses this year. However, I'm waiting until April 2021 to make any final decisions. If I should offer another semester this year, it will either start in mid-June or mid-September. If you would prefer the LIVE online classes, please contact me to add you to the notification list. Please note that the LIVE online Alchemy 101 Course is $1000 and includes the Alchemy Oil set of twelve for the practicum. If you plan to take the Alchemy 101 Course, then I recommend taking the pre-requisites as soon as possible. ​​See course content below...

WHAT WILL I GET?

ALCHEMY 101 is a foundational course that gives you a large volume of historical and practical knowledge for working a magical practice. It has helped many understand the messages they are receiving and the ability to interpret the language of symbology, including dreams, numerology, astrology and synchronicities. For the novice, it has opened their eyes to the power of Spirit and the Creator. For the more experienced, it has solidified a practice rooted deeply in The Four Directions and The Alchemical Wheel of Life. Many students have moved on to become healers, diviners and guides with-in their communities, and most take the practical application and use it for the rest of their lives to remain connected to the heavens and earth. As a testament to the material, many students choose to repeat the course immersing themselves more in-depth into the teachings, and again, to receive the fantastic transformations evoked by the practice.

THIS COURSE WILL NOT...

Alchemy 101 will not sugar coat spiritually or bypass your process. It will not promise you financial abundance, a life of ease, the ability to become a spiritual master or the activation of spiritual gifts. It will not give you a title, certification or diploma to add to a checklist of completion. There are no written tests or examinations given, as it always remains in the Creator's hands as to your level of accomplishment. Accountability is entirely your own!

Instead, it will show you a foundation to build your self-actualization on and offers an opportunity to live a life filled with wonder to the awesome power of the heavens and the manifestation of life on earth. It assists in building a rational and strong character of faith to triumph over difficulties. It merges the logical, systematic and scientific left brain with the abstract, symbolic and creative right brain. It is a spiritual and psychological, or intellectual process intended to transform the darkness with-in; hence, it is sometimes difficult and trying, yet highly rewarding! Any results or experiences received can only be in alignment with what you are ready for. ​ALCHEMY 101 is a disciplined practice to which the effort you put in is the reward you'll receive. If you are ready to move through fire, this course is for you, and your time has come to learn the art of weaving magic into your life!
​*Please note — although this course is a place of growth and sharing, it is not meant to be a substitute for receiving therapy or healing and the classroom is not a place to conduct personal counselling. If you are going through a period of instability or integration from trauma or other spiritual experiences (such as the on-set of spiritual awakenings), it is NOT advisable to be studying Alchemy at this time. Alchemy is best suited when in a place of stability for mental focus to address the work and lessons evoked by such a disciplined practice. Consequently, this course often brings more to the surface to process, and the constitution of the student must be well primed to undertake the challenges and openings that may occur during the course, that is to say, a level of spiritual maturity is needed before committing oneself to the Alchemical process. It is also advisable if you are between the ages of 27-29 to wait to take this course to allow your Saturn return to pass.

TESTIMONIALS

I have to say it was one of the most transformational and in-depth courses I have ever taken. The wealth of knowledge Ria-Mae shares is mind blowing and your experiences coincide. I highly, highly recommend! ​​— JESSICA ELMAZI

The volume of information, historical knowledge and mythology in this course is equivalent to a university class and should be taught in our institutions. It is beyond comprehension why we are not taught this in school! — MICHELLE

It is difficult to express with words how this course opened my mind and solidified my belief in the power of The Creator. It demonstrated over and over again how everything is interconnected and in continuous communication with us. The amount of synchronicities and the similar experiences shared amongst the other students is beyond understanding. If there is one course I would recommend for everyone to take it is the Alchemy 101 Course. Thank you Ria-Mae for teaching it! — JENA

Many have said of Alchemy, that it is for the making of gold and silver. For me such is not the aim, but to consider only what virtue and power may lie in the medicines. — PARACELSUS
