Sacred Alchemy Practitioner Training (SAP)

A ten-month inner pilgrimage and professional training

The School of Sacred Alchemy is a place to explore human consciousness and the intricate landscapes of the soul. We map the psyche so you can navigate the hidden paths, forgotten corners and wide vistas within. These maps become a compass for emotions, beliefs and desires, guiding real change.

Every student brings a unique soul-map, shaped by experience and insight. No two maps are the same, yet a living thread connects us all. The SAP course is an inner pilgrimage: deep introspection, meditation, trance, ritual and contemplation, with clear skills you can use for your own life and with clients.

  • A ten-month transformational practitioner training that combines Hypnosis, Shamanism and NLP, underpinned by Jungian depth psychology and the craft of alchemy. It is creative, rigorous and soulful. You will learn to facilitate change in a way that honours psyche, spirit, culture and meaning.

    • How to weave Hypnosis, Shamanic practice and NLP into effective, ethical sessions

    • Depth-oriented ways to work with symbols, dreams, myth and imagination

    • Techniques for belief change, parts work, timelines and trance-based healing

    • Soul retrieval and power retrieval framed through contemporary practice

    • Ritual and ceremony for integration and repair

    • Practitioner presence, boundaries, assessment and case-craft

    • How to map complexes, patterns and archetypal dynamics without pathologising the person

    • The language of the soul with strategies to find portals in language. 

  • Practitioners and trainees in the healing arts, coaches, therapists, yogis, bodyworkers, ceremonialists and sincere seekers who want a grounded, multi-faith, soul-centred approach. If you’re scientifically minded, you’ll find balance here. If you’re creatively minded, you’ll find structure here.
