ALCHEMY: Immerse. Reflect. Blend.

​​ALCHEMY: Immerse. Reflect. Blend.

​Alchemy is an intimate sensory ritual unfolding through three movements: Immerse. Reflect. Blend.

​The experience begins in low light with an immersive sound meditation led by healing arts facilitator and interdisciplinary artist Marlene Boyette. Surrounded by sound, participants are invited to rest, soften, and listen beneath the noise.

​From that place of stillness, prompts guide a period of invitation toward personal reflection and intuitive writing. The experience then moves toward creation as participants gather around a communal herb table and make a personal tea blend inspired by what surfaced within them.

​The evening closes with a tea inspired by the experience, prepared by Marlene, offering a final moment of warmth, presence, and connection. Each participant will leave with their handmade tea blend and an invitation to continue the ritual at home.

​No previous experience with meditation, writing, or tea blending is necessary.
