A SACRED SEASONAL IMMERSION—ROOTED IN THE DAOIST FIVE ELEMENT WISDOM—THE FIRE PHASE:

When Fire is balanced, we feel:

:

~ Emotionally warm and open.

~ Clear in our communication and intimacy.

~ Energized in our relationships and creative expression.

~ Confident in sharing our voice.

When imbalanced, we may experience:

~ Anxiety, nervous tension, burnout.

~ Overgiving or emotional volatility.

~ Fear of being seen or speaking up.

~ Feeling shut down or joyless.

In the Fire Phase, we work on restoring emotional clarity, relational trust, and inner radiance—so you can show up in life with your heart open, and be on an embodied path to flourishing.

  • This mentorship will connect you to your joy, meaningful intimacy, passion, relational discernment, and creative expression.

  • You will create the safety to open your heart with both courage and empowering boundaries.

  • You will find your personal radiance not through effort, but through remembering.

Start Date: May 20th, 2025

Transforming not because you need to fix yourself, but to unveil the qualities that are already present when you are attuned to your depth and the innate qualities of nature within and all around us.

Let your radiant heart shine:

With Creative Passion, Authentic Expression & Deep Connection

An 8-week transformational journey through the Fire Phase, to reclaim joy, awaken your authentic magnetism, and nourish vibrant, loving relationships—starting with the one you have with yourself.

Soulful Weaver of the Sacred Path of Life,

I see you;

  • Are you craving deep connection, but don’t always feel safe to show up fully or call that in?

  • Does your creativity simmer under the surface, waiting for permission to come alive.

  • Do you long for relationships that feel deep, mutual, vibrant, and real?

  • Would you like to feel radiant, not performative? Seen—not scrutinized. Expressed—not exhausted.

  • Do you long to express yourself freely, love fully, and be present with the vitality of life.

IS SOMETHING DEEPER CALLING YOU?

A LONGING TO FEEL AT HOME, IN YOURSELF & THE GREATER WEB OF LIFE.

  • Perhaps you are not just seeking personal healing—but longing to remember your place in the sacred weave of life.

  • Maybe you desire, not to grow in a programmed way, but to grow organically, in rhythm—with the Earth, the seasons, nourishing ecological belonging and your soul’s deeper intelligence.

  • You want to honour the emotional, intuitive, and spiritual depth that you seek, with your body as a compass and nature's wisdom as a guide.

    If any of this resonates, you’re right where you need to be.

​If you desire to move through life's transitions and even the day-to-day moments with resilience and grace, and feel a deep yearning to reconnect with your inner vitality and authentic self, the Fire Phase of Alchemy of Emotions is designed for you.

This phase invites you to explore the element of Fire—not as a force of destruction, but as a source of transformation and renewal, as seen in the phoenix rising from the fire.

Through practices rooted in the wisdom of the elements and the cycles of nature, you'll cultivate a deeper understanding of your place within the larger web of life.

This journey is not about fixing what's broken but about unveiling the inherent harmony that exists between you and the world around you.​

Engaging with the Fire Phase can help you:

  • Reignite your creative passions and sense of purpose.

  • Foster joyful, reciprocal relationships with yourself and others.

  • Embrace transitions as opportunities for growth and self-discovery.

  • Align your personal development with the natural rhythms of the Earth.​

If you identify as someone seeking holistic growth that intertwines personal development with a profound connection to the natural world, the Fire Phase offers a path to rediscovering and embracing the innate qualities within you.​

A Living, Breathing Invitation

In Daoist medicine, Fire is supreme yang: expansion, flowering, laughter, love. But Fire needs form to flourish. Without healthy boundaries and inner knowing, Fire burns out.

The Fire Phase of Alchemy of Emotions guides you to:

  • Feel safe in intimacy and deep connection while maintaining your sovereignty

  • Discern what warms and nourishes you from what depletes you

  • Express your truth with clarity and compassion

  • Reignite creative energy and emotional vibrancy

  • Cultivate joyful relationships that are reciprocal and soul-honouring

This isn’t just personal growth—it’s participatory ecology. You’ll reweave your emotional landscape back into the greater cycles of nature, time, and spirit.

Join Sonja Alina den Elzen for the Alchemy of Emotions — FIRE Phase, 2 months of nurturing group mentorship rooted in the ancient wisdom of Daoist Five Elements. Here, you’ll be guided to flow and grow with the passionate, outward energy of Summer — a sacred time for connection, creativity and outward radiance.

In nature, everything flows through cycles of birth, life, and transformation. Just as plants and animals are in their full bloom of the most yang time of the year, the Fire Phase invites us to express our soul's highest potential with confidence, connection and an radiant energy.

Aligning with this natural rhythm allows us to flourish and thrive in the summer and share our gifts and authentic radiance, weaving ourselves into the abundant cycle of life.

Utilize the outward expressive energy of this season to connect in ways that create potent relationships, and magnetizing expression.

" I deeply appreciate Sonja and her embodied wisdom. I feel that she holds a lot of deep roots, a wisdom that she's explored through her own life and she's brought this distillation through her own being through embodiment practices that she's worked with, through different teachings that she's received.

And I've witnessed in different places and opportunities a way that she can share in a really digestible way, in a way that. Is accessible". Leslie Brennan

" My main transformations were the deeper awareness, the emotional body and then reconnecting deeper to my body. I definitely feel like it contributed to my deeper embodiment and also encouraged me to complete some of the tasks that I have been working on and like offerings that I have been working on and it's actually allowed me to go deeper in those offerings and come out I hope a stronger and more rooted person.

Thank you so much. It's been really wonderful being in the water phase and I look forward to the next phase and thank you, Sonja. " Nata Jelenic

" I really loved the practices in this program. There are tools that are now in my medicine basket that I get to carry with me forward and I can share with others as well. And those practices really helped me to be able to alchemize and transmute and use this winter phase as an opportunity rather than seeing it as like a winter.

I just want to get over with."

Sahar Joya

"The most valuable thing I have learned from working with Sonja is how to better nourish my body, respect my mind and choose to live my life in service to my heart.

"I feel that I have a new perspective on the way I can be present with myself and my emotions and the wonders of nature as the year unfolds.

Thank you Sonja for this experience and sharing your knowledge with others. I feel fortunate having had this experience with you.

With much gratitude," Sara B

"This program was so incredibly powerful. I’m forever grateful for Sonja’s wisdom, patience and way of conveying her teachings. The combination of movement practices, meditations and classes all blended in such a complementary way. Using the metaphor and principles of the elements and her expertise in Daoist Chinese Medicine, a clear container emerged whereby healing and growth were rapid. Wow. Gratitude."
