Inner Alchemy Mentorship
I AM
A 12 week journey in Self discovery
through Art & Alchemy
Every event we host is designed with intention, from the atmosphere we create to the way each session flows.
You used to feel connected to your own creativity. Somewhere along the way,
that connection may have gone quiet. Now you’re standing here wondering,
“who even am I anymore?”
This journey doesn’t start with that question.
It starts with your hands, a brush, and permission to not know.
The answer finds you through the process, not before it.
What Exactly is Alchemy Anyway?
Alchemy is an ancient practice of transformation, turning raw, unrefined material into something whole and valuable. The old alchemists described this happening in four stages, and those same stages map perfectly onto the inner transformation this journey holds.
Nigredo, Latin for “blackening,” was the stage of breaking down. The original material had to dissolve before it could become anything new. In this journey, we call it the dissolving. It’s where you let go of the pressure to have it all figured out.
Albedo, meaning “whitening,” was the stage of purification and clarity. What was hidden starts to become visible. We call it the seeing. It’s where the truth underneath the surface story starts to show itself.
Citrinitas, meaning “yellowing,” was the awakening stage, where insight and inner gold began to emerge. We call it the awakening. It’s where your own instinct and voice start leading again.
Rubedo, meaning “reddening,” was the final stage, the completed work, the union of everything that came before. We call it the integration. It’s where you carry what you’ve reclaimed back into your actual life.
Four stages. One woman, seeing what was true about her all along.
Are you ready to come home to yourself?
This is a sanctuary for women who have been through it. You've cried everything out, the room is quiet and golden, and now you can finally exhale.
Here, we heal gently. Intentionally. We replace the internal chaos loop with safety, clarity, and undeniable self-respect. Through the process of Art & Alchemy we remember who we are, your amazing essence, the woman underneath it all.

The I AM Program
-
Weeks 1-3
Week 1: You Begin
You don’t need to know how to paint. You don’t need a plan. This week is about setting down the pressure to do it “right” and picking up color and texture instead. You’ll meet the parts of yourself that already showed up, the perfectionist, the critic, the one who wants permission before she moves.
Week 2: The Mess Is the Point
Your inner critic will get loud right when something true is trying to come through. This week you learn to keep going past the first “ugly” moment instead of fixing it. That’s where the real material lives.
Week 3: Your Body Already Knows
Your body has been holding what your mind talked itself out of. This week you practice noticing a feeling before naming it, letting color and shape speak first.
-
Weeks 4-6
Week 4: What the Image Knows
Your art starts showing you things your thinking mind skipped past. This week is collage and image work, built from what surfaced in the first three weeks.
Week 5: The Story Underneath the Story
There’s the version of what happened, and there’s what’s actually true. This week you begin gently separating self-blame from the real story, using layered visual work.
Week 6: Saying It Out Loud
This is often the week it finally gets spoken: “I don’t know who I am anymore.” You’ll create a piece that asks who you are underneath every role you’ve played, and you’ll sit with the question instead of rushing to answer it.Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way we work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything we build.
-
Weeks 7-9
Week 7: Trusting Your Instinct
You’ll practice small creative choices made from instinct, not approval. Timed, unplanned creation. Every time you choose without checking outward first, you’re rebuilding trust in yourself.
Week 8: Finding Your Voice
Using Voice Activated Integration alongside your visual work, you’ll explore what it feels like in your body to actually be heard, including by yourself.
Week 9: Boundaries Are Also Creative
What you leave out of a piece matters as much as what you put in. This week you practice “no” inside a low stakes creative choice, and notice how it carries into the rest of your life.
-
Weeks 10-12
Week 10: The Woman You’re Becoming
You’ll begin a larger, more intentional final piece, one that reflects the woman emerging on the other side of this work.
Week 11: Staying With the Unfinished
This week is about tolerating “not done yet” without quitting or rushing. It’s a direct practice in not abandoning yourself.
Week 12: Completion and Ritual
You’ll finish your piece, and you’ll build the practice that keeps this alive after the twelve weeks end. This isn’t a container that closes when it’s over. It’s a way of being you carry forward.tem description
Individual Support Woven Throughout
This isn’t a group program you move through alone. You’ll have:
• Two individual sessions at the beginning, to ground into where you’re starting from
• A monthly individual session at each major threshold, to mark what’s shifting
• A closing individual session, to integrate what you’re carrying forward
Twelve weeks from now, you won’t just have a finished piece of art.
You’ll be a woman who trusts her own hands again,
and everything that grows from that.
Apply to work with me.
Welcome Awakening Artist,
I’m glad you’re here.
This application is an invitation to pause and reflect, not to perform, or have everything figured out. Coaching with me is a collaborative process rooted in a structured (yet open to the moment) program, with presence, and personal responsibility.
Please take your time answering. There are no right or wrong responses. I read each application with care and will reach out if it feels aligned to continue the conversation.
Thank you for your willingness to reflect.
If this feels aligned, I’ll be in touch to schedule a conversation. If not, I’ll send an email. Please know that your answers are still honored and that clarity often arrives simply by being still and listening inward.
With warmth & respect,
Teraysa Guinasso
