The Alchemist is a chance to rewrite old scripts or stories that weigh on you. We know what it means to feel stuck, uninspired or trapped, because we have been there ourselves. All of Alchemy’s teachings have been tried and tested for years, and now in this one program we have combined the most important elements in one package.

 

You will be held by people who really care about you on a deep level. Each of our Masters and Mentors knows what it’s like to be on the tender edge of growth. Each has done such work on their own inner journey that they understand the human condition, what it’s like to break out of the box, and the courage it takes to step into your strength.

 

Our learning environment is certainly one of courage, but also play, dance, inquiry – and of course -The Breath!

 

With playshops, classes, and breathworks every day we are going to create some enormous shifts – we would love to have you join us and the Alchemy family for this exceptional right of passage.

THE LOCATION

Hidden Paradise

HIDDEN PARADISE is a family-run retreat centre nestled in the foothills of the Alpujarra mountain range in the South of Spain. It’s a serene and peaceful place designed to provide a natural, inspiring, and supportive environment for you to relax, renew, and restore your inner well-being.

Andalusia is important in “The Alchemist” because it symbolizes the start of Santiago’s (Saint James de Compostela’s) journey. He decided to pursue his Personal Legend there and today thousands walk his trail to learn about themselves and their relationship with the Divine.

Enjoy stunning views down the valley toward the Mediterranean Sea at this off-grid power spot. Harness the energy of thousands who have come to this part of the world to further their inward journey.

From our hosts:
 
A gift from the abundant southern Spanish sunshine!
We have substantial solar systems supplying all our electricity & hot water.  
An abundance of sun & spring water enables us to offer you a luxuriously comfortable stay, 
with little effect on our glorious planet.

Andalusia

Andalusia’s age-old history has left behind a wealth of artistic heritage. The Alhambra in Granada, the Great Mosque of Cordoba and the Giralda Tower and old town of Seville are all World Heritage sites, but the majority of its towns and villages also bear witness to the peak of Andalusia’s artistic heritage over the ages. The stunning Moorish, Renaissance and, above all, Baroque architecture can be seen in its most important buildings, the castles, fortresses and monasteries to be found throughout the region, complete a hugely valuable array of heritage. There’s more to explore than you’ll find time to manage.

MEET THE MEALS

Our experienced chefs take pride in creating delicious, healthy meals using home-grown and where possible organic and always locally-sourced ingredients, to prepare nutritious raw, vegan and vegetarian dishes.

He’s also the founder of The Ark in Bali, Indonesia, a retreat center dedicated to community health and emerging consciousness, and of ASHA (Alchemy School of Healing Arts), a retreat and community center located underneath a medieval village in Southern Tuscany.

With 40 years of personal breathing practice and exploration, Anthony has explored many different styles of the breath, including rebirthing, LeBoyer, holotropic, transformational, Sufi breathing, and pranayama. Now he brings his life experience of motivational speaking, shamanic studies, clinical hypnotherapy, Bodytalk therapy, Conscious Loving coaching (Hendricks Institute), sound healing and medicine, and aromatherapy to his breathwork teachings and trainings.

As a result of his own healing journey, including his survival and transformation from a near-death experience, Anthony holds tender space for the depth of journey that some need to make as part of their healing path, transforming what has troubled them in the past into the joy and ecstasy that a breathwork practice provides.

On leaving the airport follow signs for Malaga and then signs for SEVILLA, CORDOBA, GRANADA, ALMERIA and MOTRIL (A7).

Shortly before Motril take direction Granada.. The name changes to Autovia de Sierra Nevada and you are now driving north and inland.
Continue on this motorway until junction “175” (about 20kms from the coast), and turn off in the direction of ORGIVA and Las Alpujarras. The slip road brings you down hill to the large dam and roundabout where you turn right towards ORGIVA. Keep going until you go through a tunnel, then turn left over the River Guadalfeo towards ORGIVA. Continue through ORGIVA town. Bear left at the traffic lights before the church, (signs are for A348 LANJARON & TREVELEZ)
Continue through orgiva past a small bp garage and over a bridge,then 250 metres on your right a turning uphill signposted Pampaneira at a green roundabout, continue up this road until you see a signpost Canar 5km,turn left here and continue up the road until you reach the small yellow 2km sign on your right you have arrived .We are behind the gates with hearts on your left.
