Spiritual Alchemy
June 6,13, 20 and 27 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm $100
The ancient art and science of alchemy is more than the precursor to modern chemistry: it is a technology of the sacred and a path to inner transformation, as practiced by wise ones, adepts, and magi.
We will explore the fascinating history of this art, discover the mysterious symbols in which key precepts are encrypted, and practice exercises designed to bring us closer to the hieros gamos and the Philosopher’s Stone. Yes, we will be transmuting lead into gold: the lead of our mundane and spiritless existences can pass through the fires of the athanor and become the gold of enlightenment, the embrace of the divine within.
This four week program will include many experiential exercises, discussions, and rituals. There will be printable handouts with key information. When you register, directions and details will be sent to you.
This four week class will be held Tuesdays in June, starting on June 6. The cost is $100. Supporting members of Ardantane receive a 20% discount by using the code member20 at registration.

Pagan Chant
June 9 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm $10
Back by popular demand! Members of the Crow Women will lead this fun evening of pagan chant, with a brand new set of chants. We’ll teach a few new chants and all sing “together” in a circle of song. Don’t worry—you’ll get to stay muted (otherwise the gods of internet bandwidth will wreak havoc on our timing), so whether you are confident in your voice or not, you can enjoy singing along to these easy-to-learn chants and hopefully sink into that sacred space where only song can take us.
The Crow Women is a Goddess-centered coven that has been circling together for 31 years. Along the way, they decided to take their love of pagan song and chant and transform it into a service to the pagan community. Crow Women have released 4 albums (three of which contain entirely their own compositions), and their 5th album (working title of Pantheon) is set for release in the fall of 2023. Learn more about their work and other enticing tidbits about pagan song at (you guessed it!) pagansong.com.
This class is free to supporting members of Ardantane. Others must register below. Be sure to add the number of tickets you want before clicking the Blue GET TICKETS button. The fee is $10.
Registration closes at 5PM Mountain Time on Thursday, June 8th.
