Alchemical Healing

During this volatile time, the principles of alchemy offer effective tools to thwart our apocalyptic bent. The classical arcane goal of turning lead into gold is an apt metaphor for the transformation we require now, both personally and globally. How can we enlighten the lead of depression, fear and despair that holds so many people hostage? By what methods can we turn the pandemic of environmentally based diseases into opportunities for a healthier and more fulfilled future?

Whether responding to global issues or specific personal needs—whether for physical healing or for spiritual growth and development, our inherent ability to recognize and utilize available intelligence is often underestimated and overlooked. Alchemy is the process of turning the base substance of who we are—the dark mystery of our subconscious—into the alchemical gold of knowledge and enlightenment. Like carbon that undergoes tremendous amounts of heat and pressure in order to become a clear, hard, exquisite diamond, we master our lives and achieve clarity and brilliance through the management of pressure and our adversarial conditions.

Modern alchemy is emerging as one of the most powerful tools for transforming our reality, and Alchemical Healing, the comprehensive form developed by Nicki Scully, is an important vehicle for those who would heal themselves, and others. Alchemical Healing provides ways to weave spirit and matter, to develop communications between divinity and humanity, to transform experience into wisdom, and to skillfully influence physical reality to achieve healing and transformation. It honors the accumulated wisdom of the Earth and humankind, both in written and oral traditions, and it permits entry into the magical realms of intuition and limitless knowledge.

Through Alchemical Healing we consciously enter the infinite depths, prepared to bring forth that which has yet to be put into words, and to expand our capabilities to translate our magical experience into effective healing action.

Alchemical Healing Intensive

Nine Day Retreat and Clinic
with Nicki Scully and other Alchemical Healing teachers
July 23 - 31, 2010

This year I am excited to offer a nine day Alchemical Healing Intensive retreat seminar, covering all three levels and more. We have decided to consolidate the process in order to make it more accessible and with less travel required. This retreat is open to all levels of students and practitioners, and we will study the entire form. Advanced students are encouraged to come to this retreat, as it will be both a refresher, and an opportunity to learn and practice new techniques and receive new empowerments that are not given in the basic intensive or the books. This intensive class is a prerequisite for the Alchemical Healing Practitioner Certification.

Nicki's books, Alchemical Healing and Power Animal Meditations are used as text books for this class, and can be purchased through our office or at your local bookstore.

Students who have taken Alchemical Healing in the past, or have completed an Alchemical Healing Intensive, will be given discounts if they come to the entire retreat, or they can come into the workshop halfway through providing space is available. Various Alchemical Healing teachers (to be announced) will contribute their specialties, and there will be a free clinic open to the public for demonstrations and student practice.

Dear Nicki and students,

I want to thank you for the wonderful healing that I received from you during your intensive retreat. It was an amazing experience both physically and emotionally. I came to you with a body filled with pain along with a tumor in brain, and spinal fluid in brain not being regulated. I left there able to move my body and stretch in ways I haven't in years. My headaches have improved and I will get an MRI soon to see how my tumor is doing (I will let you know the results!).

As if all of this wasn't enough, I received emotional healing work too. You removed my mask that I have worn since I was a little girl. I cried in front of all of you, which is something that I really don't do. I am much more open now, and don't feel the need to be perfect anymore. Just this weekend, I spoke in front of 200+ people and told them a story about my life and some of my struggles, this was an extraordinary experience for me and one that I am not sure I would have done if not for your help.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so honored to have been touched by you and your wonderful students.

You are doing amazing work and it is real... Love, Jodi Jostmeyer

The cost of this retreat, including most meals and basic accommodations, tipi or tent space, is $1488. $200 discount if you register before June 1! Prerequisite for the class is to have read Alchemical Healing and to have at least worked with Power Animal Meditations. There will be a limited number of partial scholarships available and please contact the office if you have taken this intensive before.

Alchemical Healing Advanced Practicum

Three Day Retreat
with Nicki Scully and other Alchemical Healing teachers
February 5 - 8, 2010
held at Nicki's center in Eugene, Oregon

I have promised an advanced retreat for some time, for those who wish expand their Alchemical Healing skills. This retreat is offered to students and practitioners who wish to reinforce their practice and move beyond their current level. Besides learning and practicing new techniques, there will be opportunities for your development to be observed, critiqued, and honed, and for those who are ready to receive their practitioner certification. I highly recommend this course for all students and practitioners of Alchemical Healing. This course will include a public clinic.

Pre-requisites: Registrants must have taken at least Alchemical Healing Levels I and II, or an AH Intensive. For students that have taken Levels I and II from other teachers, this will bring you to the equivalent of Level III and beyond. It is also highly recommended for those who have taken the AH Intensives from Nicki.

Alchemical Healing Phone Bridge Classes
with Nicki Scully

A selection of a past Phone Bridge Classes can be listened to on our Podcast page.

Next Class to be Announced

I offer this basic Alchemical Healing course by phone so that those who can't find another teacher in their area, or can't come to my yearly intensive retreat have an opportunity to study Alchemical Healing with me. Each evening will include empowerments, demonstrations, and discussions. There is opportunity for practice with other participants during private exchanges by phone with pre-determined partners. This is a powerful and economical way to support your own study of the book, and learn techniques of Alchemical Healing utilizing the latest in conference phone technology, and from the comfort of your home.

It is important for each participant to have copies of both Alchemical Healing and Power Animal Meditations, as they are the text books for this class.

We are making a special offer for class attendees: a private phone session with Nicki at the discounted price of $115. Session must be scheduled within a month to accommodate Nicki's trip to Egypt in March. Contact the office in you're interested in taking advantage of this offer.

For those of you wishing to make the call away from home or on a line other than your cell, I recommend Costco/MCI Rechargeable Prepaid Phone Card Plus, or check with your phone company to see what they offer. MCI's prepaid card costs $20 for 700 minutes (about 2.8 cents per minute, with a .65 cent charge if from a pay phone.) Call 1-800-934-0170 or see www.mci.com/prepaid.

I look forward to continuing with further phone bridge programs, and finding new ways to share with you. Besides Alchemical Healing, some of my other new edge work would lend itself to phone bridges, and I intend to offer occasional surprise subjects, mostly relating to planetary healing and the Egyptian mysteries, for an evening or two now and again.

Sekhmet: In the Belly of the Goddess
Egyptian Mysteries Teleclass with Nicki Scully

You are invited to drink deeply of the nectar of the Goddess, and awaken to renewed life! Sekhmet’s name means Power, the Mighty One. She is the feminine face of the sun, the Lady of Flame. During this time of planetary peril, she is calling for recognition and wishes to empower all who respond to her call. Known to all traditions, her myths and legends are as old as time. Sekhmet, the Egyptian goddess of both destruction and healing is the feminine fire that transforms; she is also the quintessential compassionate healer. Sekhmet’s name is resounding from the lips of men and women who are actively reclaiming their power.

During the eight hours of phone time, and with some homework (mostly paying attention!) you will transform your deepest and most contentious habit patterns. Sekhmet will also help direct you toward fulfilling your sacred purpose, your reason for being on the planet at this time.

See Nicki’s article In The Belly of the Goddess for more information on Sekhmet.

Free Phone Bridge for Healing Cancer

Next Cancer Phone Bridge: (Date and Time to be Announced)

This cancer phone bridge is free and open to people who wish to be in support of those with cancer as well as those who are dealing directly with this ubiquitous disease. This bridge feels particularly powerful. It appears that both the numbers and the geographical expanse that phone bridge technology allows add to the potency and momentum of the healing ritual. Feel free to inform all those who would benefit from this journey, and we will try to accommodate them. The call lasts for one hour. For further information about this bridge, see some of our great feedback.

Mystery School Retreat:
Becoming an Oracle
with Nicki Scully and Gloria Taylor Brown

2010 class dates to be announced

In 2002, Normandi Ellis and I presented for the first time an Egyptian Mysteries retreat we called Becoming the Oracle, based on work that my husband Mark Hallert and I initially visioned together. This spring, with the brilliant visioning of Gloria Taylor Brown, the next iteration of Becoming An Oracle was published in a seven CD audio program (Sounds True, May, 2009). Please see our beautiful new website, www.BecomingAnOracle.com, for a taste of this new program and a sample journey. During this year's Mystery School Retreat, we will enter into the odyssey of the oracle as we explore the relevance of ancient oracular technology in today's world.

Our Becoming an Oracle Retreat is more than a workshop— it is a pilgrimage during which we will explore ancient and modern oracular technology, with particular focus on ceremonies and initiations that heighten your intuitive senses and bring you into alignment with truth, harmony and your inherent divinity. As you discover your innate oracular abilities, you will learn to find answers to life’s challenges for yourself, for others, and for the Earth. During this unique spiritual adventure you will receive initiations into a number of oracular traditions, and begin to familiarize yourself with divination tools such as runes, tarot, palmistry, crystal gazing and scrying. We begin and end in Egypt, and in between we will visit cultures from the audio program, and others that we were unable to fit into the published course. The Anubis Oracle (written by Nicki and Linda Star Wolf, and illustrated by Kris Waldherr), will be one of the primary oracular tools that we will consult and learn about during this retreat. The Anubis Oracle introduces us to the archetypal deities and elemental spirits from the Egyptian pantheon that have come forward to assist us on our journey of transformation and renewal.

The retreat will be held at the Lyceum of Shamanic Egypt, the healing center maintained at Nicki's home, a magical sanctuary in the hills on the edge of Eugene, Oregon. The retreat begins the evening of August 19 and continues through the evening of August 23.

The cost of this retreat, including meals and accommodations, is $788, but if you register before August 1, the tuition is only $688. Register online at Hathor's Mirror.

There are a limited number of partial scholarships available. Email office@shamanicjourneys.com to apply.
