Sarah Elkhaldy: Alchemy For Everyone
What would you call someone who is a very creative person with questions and not consuming reality the way it was told to them? Some would call that person normal, while others would perceive them as weird while a select few in the medical “health” community would label them bipolar.
Sarah Elkhaldy describes her journey to discover who she really is — a gifted mystic and spiritual teacher skilled in the esoteric arts — and shares why alchemy is synonymous to awakening this week on Spirit Gym.
