The Inner Alchemy – consciousness training is a fusion of Eastern and Western alchemy in a simple, practical and extremely efficient form.

This workshop is about exploring and deepening the Eastern elements (earth, water, fire, metal, wood), but also the Western elements (earth, fire, water and air/space). They are 2 different systems with different fields of application that both play an important role in alchemical inner alchemy. We can get to know the elements through the brain, but the energy in direct contact with nature is more direct and many times stronger. Dirk guides the participants as it has always happened in the alchemical traditions, namely through initiation into the elements. It is about closing the gap between your body and nature through direct experience.

Module 2 is also mainly about strengthening the energy body. An open energy center in the abdomen is the ideal growth ground for the soul state.
That requires a deeper grounding and at the same time a more open body. While the core initially felt like an energy ball, through the descent of the soul, the nourishment of the natural elements and a deeper grounding, the feeling begins to arise that a life is growing in you. This process also involves a change in your relationship with the earth. The earth and the spirits that belong to it can open up for you, which also allows your body to open from within. This is only possible by learning to sense and cultivate the different bodies through consciousness and intention.

In order to bring the natural values ​​and colours of the soul more and more to the fore, more balance is also needed in your emotions and thoughts. We do this through introspection and initiations in the western 4 elements to open the vertical connection between heaven and earth. Then also with the eastern 5 elements to activate the natural field. Once these energies have merged in a core in the abdomen, one can continue to open the energy channels and refine and strengthen the internal water and fire quality. This creates a lot of change in the quality of your relationships. This module also includes 5 Elements Chi Kung. A form with 5 subtle (prenatal) and 5 more physical (postnatal) movements that bring you into direct contact with the specific quality of each element.

A challenging, intense 5-day event for both beginners and advanced.
