Alchemy, Inc., a non-profit organization incorporated in the
State of Ohio, was established in 2003 with the mission of assisting
urban youth and young adults in developing a sense of personal
purpose in life while utilizing strategies for successfully navigating
the process of personal, familial, academic, social, and community
development.
Within a holistic approach to the development process, programs
of Alchemy offer a supportive, peer-group environment within
which participants are encouraged to explore their connection
with each other, society, human life across generations, and
all life upon the planet. With a foundation in respect for human
connectivity in the process of life, Alchemy has designed a wide
array of activities that are designed to enhance the ability
of participants to objectively evaluate life experiences, utilize
critical thinking skills, make responsible choices that are integral
to their development, and dedicate themselves to making contributions
to community.
Alchemy, Inc. bases its services upon the pragmatic value inherent
in identifying, discussing, and analyzing common mythological
motifs from a Jungian Depth Psychology perspective. Such discussions
help individuals find solutions that can be applied in the real
world (i.e., decision-making, willingness to make sacrifices
for future benefit, conflict resolution, perseverance, learning
through trial, confidence, strength, humility, and importance
of community) and help participants realize their potential on
the behalf of a healthy community.
Vision
We envision a continuous cycle of socially responsible leaders who recall and embrace ancient values and the purpose of life.
Mission
To provide leadership development in small group settings, utilizing mythological traditions, themes and motifs to introduce, interpret and integrate ancient wisdom in a contemporary context.
