Mystery Teachings Revealed: The Alchemist’s Guide to Awakening – An Interview with Sarah Elkhaldy

How does a seeker move from curiosity to mastery—and what unfolds when a spiritual awakening rewrites everything you thought you knew? 

For Sarah Elkhaldy, that journey sparked a deep devotion to understanding the laws of consciousness, the architecture of the soul, and the alchemical forces shaping human evolution.

Known today as The Alchemist, Sarah weaves natural law, Gnostic insight, and grounded spiritual teaching into a clear pathway for awakening. From her early esoteric explorations to her experience with soul retrieval and her new Gaia series Mystery Teachings, she has transformed her own unfolding into guidance that empowers others to reclaim sovereignty and clarity.

In this conversation, Sarah shares her perspective on collective shifts, soul connection, and the inner alchemy of transformation. Continue reading—or listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or YouTube—to explore the wisdom and presence Sarah Elkhaldy brings to the path of awakening.

I love this décor behind you. It’s gotta be intentional that you’ve got this halo. Is this what’s going on?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I was trying to find something super classy, chic, and minimal—and naturally, as a double Leo, I went for a giant halo.

It looks awesome. I love it. Well, to take a more serious turn… There are so many things going on in our world today. If I scroll through the New York Times or flip on the news, I see so many good things but also so many challenging things. From your perspective as a spiritual teacher, do you have a pulse on what’s unfolding right now? What do you sense is happening among us?

Sarah Elkhaldy: We’ve always had a paradigm set up for us—every age has. Historically, we’ve built our worldview around being told things, around strict hierarchies: Well, that person seems the most confident, so we’ll follow them into war, or They seem the most confident in modeling reality, so we’ll adopt their version.

There has always been a large gap between our personal inner sovereignty and the external authority shaping our paradigms. Because of that, we’re now experiencing another paradigm shift—but this time, it’s rooted in us stepping into our own inner authority. Naturally, that’s creating massive dismantling in the external world: not just the systems we operate within, but the energetic and spiritual structures beneath them.

This shift is coming from our core soul frequency rather than simply rearranging the furniture in a burning house. It’s emerging from a genuine recognition of our interconnectedness with the environment, and from our awareness that history is repeating itself. The difference now is that we actually have the emotional bandwidth to process it. Before, we might have noticed patterns, but not on this scale.

We finally have a stable enough nervous system to recognize that many of our actions come from unconscious automation—lack of awareness, ingrained karmic grooves, or old patterns repeating themselves.

How would you suggest people navigate the anxiety that comes up around these shifts? It seems like a lot of our culture is experiencing anxiety because of what’s happening.

Sarah Elkhaldy: It’s difficult because creative stress is core to our purpose as humans. It gives us meaning and a sense of fulfillment. But it’s hard to enter creative stress when we’re in genuine stress, when we’re in real anxiety.

Much of that anxiety comes from living inside a model of reality we’ve outgrown. It’s like wearing a shoe that’s too small. Our energy is surging, but it’s constricted, so it expresses as anxiety.

To shift that, we have to allow whatever in our reality has been outgrown to fall away. Then we can repurpose that energy into something new. The problem is that we often hold an idealistic picture of what our energy should go toward. If we can’t meet that ideal, we block ourselves—there’s no outlet—so the energy backs up and becomes anxiety.

Let me give a real example. When I wrote my first poetry book, I wanted a publisher. Nobody wanted me.

I know that feeling.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Instead of fighting it or throwing in the towel because my imagined path wasn’t working, I self-published. Nobody bought it—and that wasn’t the point. The point was to let the energy move, to get my poetry out there, and not be defeated by my own expectations of how things should happen or how the universe should respond to me.

I’m curious about your own journey of awakening to consciousness, mindfulness, and spirituality. I’d also love to hear about your childhood. Did you grow up with some sort of faith or spiritual experience in your home, or did that come later in life?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I got religion. I got the religion.

Which one? Which religion did you get?

Sarah Elkhaldy: No, just kidding. My dad is Muslim, and my mom is Catholic—and to this day, they both still practice their faiths.

That’s quite a combo.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Yeah. My dad is probably the biggest fan of my work. He shares it everywhere. What he’s taught me is that I’m not going to change his mind, but he genuinely loves what I do.

That’s so supportive. That’s beautiful.

Sarah Elkhaldy: It taught me that people can still learn from you and take whatever resonates, even if you’re not trying to change their beliefs. If you’re not trying to control someone’s experience, then you can allow them to receive your work in whatever way serves them.

So I grew up predominantly going to the Catholic church, and maybe 25% of the time going to the Islamic mosque. I got a mixed bag of both traditions. But when I got to college, I really outgrew that shoe.

And in college, what were you presented with? Other viewpoints, teachers, classes? What helped you in that process?

Sarah Elkhaldy: It happened very quickly—like ripping off a Band-Aid. One day in anthropology class, my professor was explaining the necessity of religion in cultures. She wasn’t even criticizing religion; she was simply outlining how it functions.

That alone broke me out of the religious framework. I suddenly saw, Oh my God… it keeps people in order. They need it because they’re in an egalitarian system. It creates hierarchy, structure, and cohesion.

And of course, I’ve always been highly spiritual. It wasn’t that I abandoned spirituality—it was that I could suddenly see the religious programming so clearly. She was essentially demonstrating a method—AIS, I believe—where you identify what something is serving or what it is not serving. She wasn’t targeting religion; she was exploring how it operates as a control system within cultures.

What was your degree in?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I wanted to major in film, but then I decided to study anthropology.

Where did you go?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I went to Pasadena City College, and before that, I went to Chaffey College in the Inland Empire.

I actually went to seminary in Pasadena at Fuller Theological Seminary, so I know the area well.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Yeah, so I ended up getting my Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees because I was constantly oscillating between film, art, and anthropology.

So at what point did you begin to recognize this energy-healing modality or giftedness in your own life? Did that come first, or was it the spiritual teaching that arrived first? I’m very curious how this unfolded for you.

Sarah Elkhaldy: I was always drawn to the esoteric—always. That’s why I tell people: if you want to discover your purpose, something so meaningful that you’d actually call it your purpose—because I do believe in free will—don’t start with passion. Passion is too much pressure.

Start with what you’re curious about. I couldn’t not be curious about esoterica. That curiosity led me to soul retrieval. The concept fascinated me.

For people who aren’t familiar with soul retrieval, what is it? And I know you offer it as a service—can you explain it?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Soul retrieval is traditionally done by a soul doctor—a Q’ero shaman. It’s a full process where the shaman journeys into the underworld on behalf of the client—really into the subconscious—to retrieve an aspect of their soul that’s stuck in a state of soul loss.

We can also describe that as an aspect that’s disconnected. The shaman brings that aspect back and reintegrates it into the totality of the client’s soul. It becomes a kind of upgrade because that piece is now feeding its life force, wisdom, and gifts back into the whole.

The purpose of soul retrieval is to restore wholeness.

How does an aspect of my soul get stuck there—in the lower world? And how would I even know if a part of my soul is stuck?

Sarah Elkhaldy: If you look at the full list of symptoms of soul loss, it could be almost anything—truly everything under the sun. So I focus on the more fringe symptoms, the ones people don’t often link to soul loss: unexplainable rage, unexplainable grief—just a constant, persistent grief without a known source.

More common symptoms include dissociation, numbness, and anxiety. Those come up a lot.

So that was a strong interest for you early in your spiritual development.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Oh, absolutely. I read several books on it, then I went to the back of one of them because it listed the practitioners the author had trained. I started calling, but almost all of them had domain failures—no working numbers, no websites.

One practitioner actually responded to me, but at the time, it felt too intense. So I told the universe, Bring me the shaman who is meant to perform my soul retrieval.

A week later, I was in L.A. at a party and overheard a woman saying her mom was “so weird” because she went to a shaman from Colorado for soul-retrieval work and other things. I immediately asked for her number.

She warned me, “No, she’s a weird, space shaman—not like an earth shaman with a drum. She removes implants and talks about aliens.” I said, “Give me her number. That’s perfect.”

And what was her name? Do you remember?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Of course. We’re good friends to this day. Her name is Carla Fox.

And you met with her in person or online? How did you connect?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I think I emailed her first. She emailed me back, and we set up remote sessions. I was her client for about five months. She did three preparatory sessions before the actual soul retrieval because she said the aspect needed to be ready to be received. Otherwise, we could bring it back, but it might not fully take.

She also told me she was transitioning out of shamanic work into quantum healing techniques and higher-dimensional practices. I asked if she would humor me anyway—I really wanted the soul retrieval. She agreed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I were her last soul-retrieval client.

And when you had that experience, what was the impact on your life?

Sarah Elkhaldy: My will had been massively broken from my spiritual awakening journey. I had gotten involved in esoteric circles, and at the time, we were in a kind of hive mind—convinced that comets were coming to bring the next ice age. I was online looking for the warmest jackets, researching survival gear, until I eventually asked myself, Why would I even want to survive if it’s that cold and chaotic?

I began turning inward—not out of enlightenment but because I didn’t have the monetary resources to keep fighting the outer world. You go where your power still exists. So I went inward and reached a place of, I don’t even care. If that happens, it happens.

I just wanted my poetry book completed so I could hold something I created—something that was mine. My awakening journey took me deep into the dark aspects of spirituality; I even wanted to enhance them. So by the time she performed the soul retrieval, something shifted. I felt unconditional excitement—whether the world ended tomorrow or whether a year passed. I stopped counting.

Wow. That feels very liberating. What an amazing experience. At what point did you begin offering your energy-healing services and start teaching online? And at some point, it sounded like you were pursuing acting—is that right?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Yes. I wanted to be an actor for a long time—and a director. No one in Hollywood just wants to act. If they want to act, they also want to write, and if they want to write, they also want to direct. It’s actually beautiful. People outside of L.A. often typecast the industry as shallow, but I’ve never met anyone in Hollywood who didn’t have a stack of stories they’d written.

So I wanted to act and direct because I was young. Around that time, I was also doing what’s called Fourth Way work—George Gurdjieff’s synthesis of all the knowledge he collected from different traditions. Fourth Way work is intense. It makes you question everything. It dissolves the ego—not destroys it, because the ego can’t be destroyed—but strips its layers until you have to rebuild it consciously.

Because of that, I began examining all my motivations. Why did I want to act? I realized I didn’t want to act. I admired actors—Kate Winslet, for instance—but I didn’t want to be one. I wasn’t even great at it, and part of that was because I didn’t genuinely want to do it. What I wanted was to be seen.

Once I saw that clearly, acting no longer made sense. I would have had to compromise so much just to get the feeling I was chasing. And I’m a “mouthy chakra woman”—I have a lot to teach and share. Why take such a convoluted path?

So I quit acting. Then I started an Instagram account to share my spiritual activism and all the esoteric knowledge I was learning.

You took on this name, The Alchemist. I’m curious how that came to you. What does the term alchemist—or alchemy—mean to you?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Any mystic worth their salt would crave the name The Alchemist. I don’t know what others’ experiences were, but my perception was that we were all bidding for that name. I have no idea if that’s true, but in my mind, we were all fighting for it—and I got it.

Because of that, whether it was divine intervention or not, I assigned it that meaning. I hold it in my heart as sacred and take it very seriously.

So, from your perspective, what is alchemy? What is an alchemist?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Alchemy is the creation process—the divine chemistry, God’s chemistry. Some alchemists would fight me on that; we fight each other over everything. But if you ask me for the most perennial, universal definition, that’s it.

Even though most of what we know comes from medieval laboratory alchemy, as preserved in academia, alchemy has existed in every era. Every region of the world had its own version and contributed its own understanding. Laboratory alchemy is just one layer of a much larger picture.

If it were only about turning lead into gold, why would it be called divine chemistry? Why would it be God’s chemistry?

Alchemy is about the creation of duality—the interplay of opposing forces, of light and dark. It’s the ongoing process of creation and transformation, which is why transmutation is its most famous principle.

And because alchemy permeates every layer of reality, it also expresses differently depending on what it’s acting upon. In humans, alchemy manifests as the transformation and transmutation of the soul.

Thank you for sharing that. I’m curious about a video on your YouTube channel. I was looking through your content, and it seems you’ve been posting videos for the past 4 years. You put so much time and energy into them—the director you once wanted to be, you are a director. You’re not acting because you’re being authentically you, but you are directing, and that’s clearly important to you. The videos are beautiful, filled with deep wisdom. Your most popular video on that platform is called The Purpose of Twin Flames, and it’s several years old. Why do you think that video has resonated so strongly?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I think it’s because people have such a deep desire to understand why they’re magnetically, intensely attracted to certain people. Beyond those who specifically believe in Twin Flames and would naturally watch that content, the video speaks to anyone trying to understand their attraction patterns.

My intention wasn’t to repeat what’s already been said. I wanted to emphasize the role Twin Flames—or soul ties, or false flames, or high-level soulmates—play as catalysts for a person’s ascension. That’s why the magnetism is so strong. Whether it’s a true twin flame or not, people want to understand: Why can’t I get this person out of my mind?

Psychology has a lot to offer here, and we shouldn’t bypass what modern psychology understands about relational dynamics. But psychology ultimately needs to integrate into the spiritual paradigm—not dismiss it. The esoteric lens is the larger paradigm; it has the deepest scope. There are golden nuggets that psychology contributes, but the spiritual framework is where the full picture lives.

Do you—this is personal—but do you have a twin flame? Or is your experience something different?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I have a twin flame. My twin flame is not incarnated in this earthly experience.

Where are they? And does that create anything awkward with your current partner?

Sarah Elkhaldy: No, not at all. My partner isn’t phased by any of this. I even joke with her sometimes—“We’re twin flames”—just to make her laugh. She rolls her eyes.

We’re high-level soulmates. That’s our connection. I try to help people whose twin flames are incarnated in this lifetime because that was some people’s mission. That’s their path in this life.

My twin flame exists in a higher dimension. I receive communication through deep sleep and dreamtime. What we do for each other fuels and inspires one another’s work.

I didn’t even know it was an option for a twin flame to not be incarnated. I haven’t spent much time thinking about whether I have one, but now I’m curious. One thing I’m curious about: you mentioned you have a partner who is female. I’ve read that one of your challenges in spiritual spaces has been navigating the world as a lesbian spiritual teacher. I come from a conservative Christian background myself—pastor for over a decade—where inclusion wasn’t always extended, and that deeply troubled me. When I left ministry in 2008, the first thing I questioned was that exact issue. But inside the system, if you answer that question differently, you’re out.

I share that because I have a huge heart for inclusion in spiritual spaces. Why has your sexuality been a challenge for you within this work?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I think it’s because, for some people, if you become too inclusive, power dynamics shift. The pushback I get tends to come from people who take my sexuality very personally. They make it about them. Somehow, they turn my sexuality into something that victimizes them or oppresses them.

It’s an interesting inversion of the narrative—me simply existing becomes an affront to them.

How does that actually play out? Is it in business contexts? Community spaces? Public interactions?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I’ll read you a comment I got last month on YouTube.

This is a teaching moment. Someone took my video about portals—completely unrelated to sexuality—and wrote:

“When the country was under authoritarian attack, when we were having transgenderism shoved down our throats, you decided to double down on your lesbianism and shove that in our face like an evil virtue signal.”

Interesting. And the video didn’t reference your sexuality at all?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Not at all. I didn’t even go deep into what I know about portals because I was trying to keep it at a beginner level. Women as portals—I didn’t even touch that yet. It had nothing to do with anything related to sexuality.

My goodness. So it’s this feeling of being threatened just by your presence.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Yes. People speak to me differently. There’s an ugliness that only emerges when someone discovers I’m gay. Other teachers get criticized too—of course—but this specific flavor of ugliness is unique. It appears only when my sexuality becomes known.

So it becomes interwoven into the negative feedback.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Exactly. And when you add the fact that I’m a spiritual teacher, some people don’t want to “give me too much power.” Their worldview becomes threatened by who I am and the platform I have.

People must be deeply comfortable—not just with their own gender identity but with their own sexuality—to not project onto me. And what I love about choosing to come into this lifetime as a lesbian is that it reveals the best and worst in people. When someone shows their best, you know it’s genuine. And when someone is intimidated or threatened, they don’t hide it—they attack or smear.

Either way, you see people’s true character. And the ones who don’t care, who remain warm—that says everything about who they really are.

Wow. My goodness. I’m filled with empathy and compassion right now—not because I fully understand your experience, but because you’ve given us a glimpse of it. I’m sorry people treat you that way. It’s not my responsibility to apologize, but as a fellow human being, I want to offer you that compassion.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Oh, thank you. I also want to say, don’t cry for me, Argentina—because the people who love me treat me so well.

Well, I’m curious about your new show on Gaia called Mystery Teachings. As someone who has produced and directed films, I love the behind-the-scenes story. How did this relationship with Gaia come about?

Sarah Elkhaldy: You really get to see the character of Gaia when their priority is finding the person with the deepest knowledge and the most integrity to cover these topics.

As I mentioned earlier, when you choose certain experiences before incarnation, you get to see people’s true character. With Gaia, it was immediately apparent. The founder approached me personally about the series, and all he cared about was the show’s integrity. He felt I would be a perfect fit. That was a breath of fresh air.

Gaia has a tremendous commitment to the evolution of consciousness on this planet—and so do I. Because of that, they’re the perfect home for my teachings. I’ve been blown away by how beautifully they’ve elevated the aesthetic of my YouTube work. They enhanced it with their team and made it even more powerful. I still get chills thinking about it. When I saw the first rough cut, I got chills.

It’s absolutely beautiful what they’ve created around your teaching. The term Mystery Teachings—did you come up with that, or did they?

Sarah Elkhaldy: They already had that series. They hadn’t produced new seasons in a long time, and instead of retiring it, they wanted to continue it with a new host. It already had a strong following on Gaia, so they invited me to step into that role.

After years of your own study and teaching, how did you decide on the topics and flow for the first season? Was it downloaded? Collaborative? How did that process work?

Sarah Elkhaldy: It was collaborative. We wanted the first season to walk people through the spiritual awakening journey—but in a structured way. Most people enter spirituality like it’s the wild, wild west: you’re into this, then you’re into that, trying everything. That’s beautiful, but it can be overwhelming and disorienting.

So from the very first episode to the next, we wanted to create order and flow. We asked, Where do we begin? The answer was: the laws of this reality. So we began with natural law as the foundation. From there, each episode built on the next layer of understanding a person would need.

We wanted me to serve as a benevolent guide through a journey that can be arduous, expansive, confusing, and deeply transformative.

I was very impressed with the first episode. It’s so practical—something everyone can apply to life. You’re very direct in your teaching; you’re coming with the fire. It’s digestible, about 20–22 minutes. You start with natural law and relate it to the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” I’ve heard that a million times, but you frame it as the foundation of taking responsibility for both action and non-action. Why start there? Why choose that as the opening of the entire show?

Sarah Elkhaldy: What’s interesting, in hindsight, is that I never started excited about natural law. But sometimes when there’s a very strong need in the universe, it supplies you with the energy to meet that need. I was supplied with the energy for natural law—that told me this was what the universe considered most important right now.

I never walked around passionate about the topic. But now I hold it so dear, and I have endless energy for it. That’s how I know its importance isn’t just personal—it’s collective.

And as a Projector in Human Design, I want to offer some context: if we don’t have the energy for something, we simply won’t do it. So the fact that I was given the energy for natural law shows how vital it is.

I always want to push the barriers of my own evolution, but at the end of the day, what I feel most called to is natural law—being a clear, strong advocate for it. It’s the message I’m meant to amplify.

Obviously, I want people to watch the episode, but you keep using the term “natural law.” For those who aren’t familiar with it, give us a bite-sized nugget…what does natural law mean?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Natural law means that we are responsible for both our actions and our inactions. The most core universal law is that we are all sovereign—we are all free.

When we manipulate another person’s freedom, diminish it, or bend it to operate on our behalf rather than theirs, we’re violating that sovereignty. At the soul level, we are equally free, sovereign aspects of God consciousness.

The ground rules of this human experience are that when we behave out of alignment with natural law—when we act against someone’s freedom or fail to act in support of our own—our inaction is an action. It has consequence, impact, and weight.

People sometimes misunderstand this and believe it’s an oppressive teaching. I understand why—if I didn’t know natural law deeply, I might think it was another control tactic: Behave this way or you’ll have karmic punishment.

It could appear like an advanced form of manipulation, the control system repackaged in an ancient tone. But the world is the way it is precisely because we’re not living in accordance with natural law.

We, humans, are a developmental milestone of universal consciousness—the “baby form,” in a sense. Doesn’t it make perfect sense that our task here would be to learn “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” as a way to mature, evolve, and expand into a consciousness that can be increasingly unconditional?

I’m curious about episode eight—you talk about NPCs, or non-player characters, drawing from Dolores Cannon and Gnosticism. For those unfamiliar, what are NPCs or background people? What is their purpose? Don’t tell us too much—I want people to watch the episode—but give us a taste.

Sarah Elkhaldy: In that episode, I draw heavily from Gnosticism to give a framework for NPCs so people don’t assume it’s a new concept unique to our current age. I wanted to show that ancient traditions also perceived these distinctions, just in a different language.

That infusion of history adds compassion, because when the NPC concept first became popular, people were literally imagining digital background characters and a video-game universe.

What people tell me after watching the episode is that they finally get it: NPCs are simply a lower level of consciousness. And while that might sound rude at first, it would actually be rude to assume everyone should have the same curriculum, the same lessons, the same level of consciousness. That would be imposing our reality onto others.

So in that episode, I try to help people understand NPCs through the lens of group consciousness—not to diminish anyone, but to explain why there’s so much confusion and discord. We’re not all here with the same developmental blueprint. No wonder we don’t always agree.

As you think about the first season of Mystery Teachings, what do you hope people experience or take away from the show?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I hope people experience clarity and empowerment. So much of the spiritual awakening journey is people looping inside their own cognitive dissonance. They have one piece of a teaching from one teacher, another piece from a book or tradition—but they don’t know how those puzzle pieces fit together.

What Mystery Teachings does so well—especially in season one—is bring those pieces together so they form a coherent whole rather than isolated fragments. It helps people finally see how things plug into each other.

And of course, I’ll always continue refining it and making it better.

Tell me about season two—if you’re allowed. Where do we go from here?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I developed season two from scratch, and I’m so excited about it. Season one is grounded in the context of our age—topics and themes that are especially relevant right now.

Season two goes into my deeper, truer passions—topics rooted in Gnosticism and metaphysics beyond this universe. We explore what lies outside the boundaries of this cosmic system, while still touching on major themes that are pressing and popular in our time.

It’s going to be a powerful expansion.

You’re also speaking at Gaia’s Emersion Conference, March 14–15, 2026, at the GaiaSphere Event Center in Colorado. What are you looking forward to at this event? And do you know the topic you’ll be sharing?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I am so excited about this event. It’s the largest event I’ve ever presented at, and I feel deeply grateful. When it comes to what people call “success,” I don’t measure it the way others do—but this is something I consider one of the biggest milestones of my life.

I’ll be presenting on the alchemical stages of a person’s evolution and unfoldment.

Wonderful. You’ve got an Alchemy Retreat coming up March 26–30, 2026, in Sedona, and I think you’re also speaking at the Sedona Ascension Retreat with Suzanne Ross.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Yeah.

I’ll get to meet you in person there, so that’ll be fun.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Oh, awesome.

Yeah, we’ll be there. So tell me about this Alchemy Retreat in Sedona. You’re leading it, and I think you have a few other individuals involved as well?

Sarah Elkhaldy: Oh yeah, my partner, Susan. She teaches the second day of the retreat on how to connect with a person’s higher self through the gamma brainwave state.

Anything else you want to share about the retreat—who it’s for, who would benefit?

Sarah Elkhaldy: I have a lesson plan carved out for the Alchemy retreats, but I also tune into who is actually there because the energies change with each group. I teach based on where people feel they are in their journey.

If someone comes in as a sage—someone who’s been on their spiritual path for a long time and is looking for a few new nuggets—I teach from that level. I also teach from the intermediate level for those who already know quite a bit about spiritual topics but want to go deeper.

But I mainly attract beginners, because beginners often feel the most confused or uncertain. And something I’ve really noticed is how much people want community. So I’ve actually modified the curriculum based on what attendees would gain the most from.

Where can people find you personally, and find you online to connect and follow your work?

Sarah Elkhaldy: You can go to my website, TheAlchemist.Community. I have all my social media links, my newsletter, and my event page there as well.

Sarah, thank you so much for sharing your story and wisdom today. Thank you for what you’re bringing to the world and how you’re serving. I appreciate it so much.

Sarah Elkhaldy: Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
