WHERE HAS THE YEAR GONE?
We find ourselves scratching our heads at just how quickly the year has passed. It has been a transformative year, and we have welcomed many wonderful guests through our doors wishing to explore their own personal transformations. A massive THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us, visited us, and attended our classes and events in 2025.
A Season of Turning Inward
Slowing down, gathering in, and listening within
After a vibrant and full summer at Awakening Alchemy Retreat Centre, we find ourselves moving gently into autumn — the season of slowing down, gathering in, and listening within. The garden quiets, the air cools, and nature begins its graceful descent toward stillness. It is a time for reflection, to look back on what has unfolded throughout the year and to notice how those outer experiences have shaped our inner landscape.
In this spirit of introspection, our feature article “Beyond the Craving” explores what happens when we turn toward the deeper longing beneath our habits and impulses. It invites us to see addiction not as a flaw, but as a form of intelligence — the body and soul seeking balance and connection. As the outer world contracts into quiet, we are reminded that healing often begins in that same stillness — when we allow awareness to meet what calls from within.
