This Black Friday I’m offering a brand new workshop, “Mindfulness and Alchemy.”
Our human drives to become better people, improve at what we do, and transcend our limitations are often well-intentioned and deeply sourced. Sometimes, they are also be driven by secret shames, guilts, or a sense of never being enough. There is nothing inherently wrong with this; real change requires significant motivation. But I’ve become tired of doing coaching programs and taking courses in the hopes that I’ll finally learn what I need to feel like I’m enough.
I want to work with my sense of inadequacy as cleverly as I can, using the techniques of mindfulness and the symbolism of alchemy to bring meaning and understanding to places our conscious mind often does not want to go.
This is what I’ll be introducing and guiding you through in “Mindfulness and Alchemy.”

Testimonial
With Michael’s powerful presence, deep compassion, wise skillful-means, I was able to deeply and lovingly connect to such liberating emotions and wisdom within my body – in a way I was profoundly moved by.
Participating in his program was significant and I highly recommend it!

FAQ
Will the workshop be recorded?
Yes. If you miss the session you can watch the recording and do the mindfulness exercises on your own along with it.
Do I need any prior knowledge of mindfulness, alchemy or the Enneagram?
No prior knowledge is necessary. While I love the Enneagram, it is not the focus of this introductory workshop.
Is this workshop just for Integral Coaches or subscribers of your Substack?
This workshop is open to everyone, with no background in Integral Coaching or anything else required. You’re welcome to share it with friends and loved ones who you think might be interested.
What’s the use of alchemy in 2025? We have chemistry and physics now.
I agree that chemistry and physics are the best tools to understand the physical properties of matter. However, as a symbolic system for understanding how people change and grow, I believe alchemy is of great value. This will be what I introduce in the workshop. For a longer description of what I see as the value of alchemy, you can read my previous post on the subject.
