Alchemy with Bronwyn
Alchemy with Bronwyn is a podcast for anyone at a threshold, or called toward one.
Here, medicine, seasonal wisdom, dance, energy, ceremony, and ordinary life meet in an ongoing inquiry into illumination, awakening, and the transformation of consciousness. These conversations and guided practices explore what it means to organize our life force around what matters most and to make insight embodied enough to change the way we live.
Your host, Bronwyn Ayla, is an acupuncturist, alchemist, Mamma, dancer, diviner, and practitioner on the path of illumination. She brings nearly three decades of clinical practice, movement, ceremony, seasonal alchemy, and energetic training to each episode.
Bronwyn is a licensed acupuncturist and primary care provider, initiated Dagara-lineage diviner, Axis Syllabus Certified Teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, author of The Reiki Handbook, and founder of the Wu Wei School of Reiki. She has trained more than 1,000 practitioners since 1998.
Episodes move through the qi nodes and the changing seasons, embodied and energetic practice, Reiki, acupuncture, dance, sound, ritual, sacred entrepreneurship, motherhood, raising a sovereign child, and the mystery of becoming more fully alive.
