Mentoring with Lisa

Alchemy’s mentoring programs are at the very heart of the studio’s mission to provide deeply individualized and meaningful development to those who seek it.

My intuitive mentoring style encourages a ‘total person’ mission of growth and awareness. Instead of a fixed and linear process that uses predetermined prompts and cues, my way of mentoring is both fluid and dynamic. I use active listening, intuitive ability and flexible guidance to tailor my messaging to each individual as they are ready and able to receive it. I can help navigate the complexities of a life that continues to challenge, inspire, and reshape itself through constant experience.

I am not a certified life coach, nor am I a licensed social worker or therapist. I am a guide, an observer, a witness and a truth-teller. I draw deeply on my 55 years of personal growth, challenge, research, pain, success and failure, and -ultimately - wisdom to guide my mentoring process. When you mentor with me, you are in the driver’s seat, and you are in control. You steer the content, the direction, and ultimately the outcome of your own process. I am honored and humbled to be your partner.

Mentoring is a commitment, and it is deeply rewarding for the student who is willing to deepen their practice. If you are interested in Alchemy Studio’s mentoring programs, I encourage you to contact me directly to discuss your needs, challenges, and desires. I’m happy to share references from both current and former students and mentees upon request.

(No person needing my services is ever turned away based on their ability or inability to pay. I am not a ‘for-profit’ business, and most the fees I charge go directly toward business-related expenses and then toward community outreach.)

MENTORING TOPICS AND IDEAS:

• Yoga student intensive
Perfect for the student who wants to deepen their individual practice and seeks direction and guidance on that path.
• Yoga teacher intensive
Suited for both new teachers who want more knowledge after their initial training as well as the experienced teacher seeking to re-energize and inspire their teaching practice.
• Intuitive development
We all have different strengths and talents when it comes to intuition. Knowing how to support, challenge, and inspire those strengths leads to more confidence and wisdom in an intuitive practice.
• Shamanic principles and practices
There is a whole world of shamanic practice beyond journeying. Students will receive lessons in hands-on crafting, the selection and use of tools and objects in nature, and a host of other topics and resources for continuing study.
• Personal practices for a more embodied life
So life happens, and it comes at us fast. Mentoring can offer a compassionate ear and gentle guidance during those times of difficulty and transition.

Each mentoring program is a commitment of 3 months, whether at the Basic or Dedicated level, after which the option to continue at the end of 3 months is available.
