This Sunday the message at our Unitarian Universalist service, “Alchemy as a Guide for the Spiritual Path,” will be delivered by Stacey Couch.
The alchemy that Stacey speaks of is not really about the medieval practice of turning lead into gold with fire. It is about spiritual transformation, about our union with nature and the divine.
The starting point for ancient alchemy is any base substance or situation while the prima materia for the spiritual alchemist are troubled feelings such as confusion, loss, stuck-ness, listlessness or sadness from which the spiritual alchemical process begins. In this presentation, Couch will share the history and fundamentals of alchemy and will teach how to use this ancient practice as a metaphor for one’s soul work.
As a spiritual advisor, Couch has served people in more than 30 countries and 48 states. She lives in Pagosa Springs with her son, husband, cat, dog and two horses. She has called Pagosa home since 2011 and is the author of “Gracious Wild: A Shamanic Journey with Hawks.”
