It has white manicured fingernails. Above the cupped hand is text that reads Liberation Alchemy over a swish of gold paint and with a faint graphic starburst behind it. Above and to the left of the center image is a hummingbird pictured from the side with it's beak to the right. Below it, behind the forearm, is a poufy coral hibiscus flower. In the lower right corner of the image is another poufy coral hibiscus flower.

Calling all Black-woman identified healers, space holders and facilitators…

 

ARE YOU SICK OF FEELING ISOLATED AND MISUNDERSTOOD? 

 

I See You…

Yearning for a spiritual community that celebrates and understands your Blackness.

 

Because it is impossible to feel at home in a spiritual community when you’re othered.

A headshot of Dr. G, a black woman, smiling and looking directly at the viewer. Her hair is in locs, curled and up to the side, one side of her head is shaved. She is wearing white cowrie shell earrings that dangle on the sides of her neck. She is in front of a glowing pale pink and gold textured gradient background on the left two thirds and a textured bronze background on the right third. There is off white graphic burst and a branch with green leaves behind her. She is wearing light makeup and orange traditional African printed tank top dress.

There’s nothing more disheartening than having to call out cultural appropriation...again.  

 

Or having to explain why Jesus wasn’t white…again.  

 

Or having to affirm the existence of the ancient and profound spiritual traditions from Africa…again!  

 

Especially in a spiritual space full of “good people” that you hoped knew better. 

 

You want a joyful spiritual home that is rooted in liberation. 

Where belonging and reverence for Blackness are givens. 

Where you are free to be…without explanation. 

 

AND YOU'RE NOT ALONE. 

 

Most Black women healers want the same.

You’ve tried calling your own circles. 

 

You’ve traveled to find spiritual communities.  You’ve joined virtual sisterhoods.

 

But they haven’t quite hit the mark.

You can’t find solace or peace when you have to account for, explain or defend your Blackness.

 

THE PROBLEM? 

Sometimes the “good people” don’t examine their privilege and end up creating harm, even when they're trying to do right.  

And, what’s more, a history of oppression has kept us separated from our spiritual traditions, denying us the legacy of the Black Sacred Feminine.  

All of this makes seeking Liberation and Restorative Community a crap shoot…you never know what you’re gonna get. 

 

The truth is having a spiritual community where you know and feel that you belong is a game changer. 

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE INVITED TO JOIN…      

A 3-month group program to help you break negative generational cycles, bathe in the wisdom of your ancestors, and support your journey to liberation in all ways.

"I've gotten more healing out of this program than ALL my therapy sessions put together!"

 

"This experience has been more healing and empowering than I ever imagined. I've gotten more healing out of it than ALL of my therapy sessions put together.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the material, the preparation, and most of all, the safe container that's been created for us all to share openly, honestly and freely. Thank you Dr. G!"

WHAT IS LIBERATION ALCHEMY?

 

Liberation Alchemy was originally created to help Black women healers and space holders* find restorative community and chart their own course to Liberation because we need to leave a legacy of healing.  

 

I created Liberation Alchemy because I have suffered deeply and repeatedly at the hands of well-meaning spiritual communities where I was the only, or one a few Black people.  

 

I’ve also been ridiculed by the conservative Black religious sector, who ostracized me for asking questions and not blindly having faith.

 

Restorative community is the balm for these wounds. 

 

*Our definition of Healer is broad and includes teachers, space holders, retreat leaders, facilitators of women’s circles, writers, medicine women, shamans, spiritual practitioners, diviners, body and light workers, and more! If your medicine impacts others, this is for you!

"It's the MOST PROFOUND experience!"

 

"The power of this space is extraordinary. It's a portal.  When you get people together, that is the sacred magic. My whole understanding of what's possible shifts when I'm in this community that has given me access to an infinite galaxy of possibility.

It is such a unique and powerful space."

Register me!

Weave the sacred tapestry of the Black Goddesses, Ancestral Wisdom, and Restorative Community...for your Liberation.

 

Those who work with me understand that oppression is baked into the foundation of this country. 

 

They know that the powers-that-be have conspired to keep us spiritually disenfranchised…and away from the warm embrace of the Black Sacred Feminine.  

 

I gently help them shake free from the shackles of fear, doubt, worry and lack.  

I HELP THEM INSTEAD LIVE INTO SPIRITUAL LIBERATION.

 

We do this by following the 3 Pillars of Liberation Alchemy:

PILLAR ONE   

Black Goddesses 

The Black Sacred Feminine Is A Site Of Resistance.  

An image of Black Goddess Within Oracle Deck card of Goddess Bunzi. She is a Black woman standing on a rock above a multicolored snake in front of a waterfall and a rainbow in a forest. She is holding a large sword with her right hand and it is resting on her shoulder. She is looking to the right with one eye covered by her long dark brown and highlighted hair. She is wearing a black tube top and asymmetrical long skirt with a waist long multi strand multicolored necklace. The number 7 is in gold in the to[ left corner of the card and behind it is a textured gold radiating sun.

 

There is no more powerful representation of this

than the Black Goddesses.

 

They will show you how to metabolize ancient memories in order to embrace your historical power as a Black Woman. 

 

You will learn to harvest their ancient wisdom in your contemporary life so that you can create a legacy of healing, uproot colonialism, patriarchy and white supremacy from your body and lived experience by transforming your lineages, repairing old wounds, and embodying  your deepest gifts. 

PILLAR TWO  

 Ancestral Wisdom 

Ancestors Speak To You In Ways You Can Understand. 

An image of Black Goddess Within Oracle Deck card called Memory. It shows two dark skinned young black women holding one hand, facing each other and leaning back at the waist. They are wearing traditional African print skirts and halter tops/dresses. Their hair is hanging down in long dark dread locks. The background is a purple, red and gold streaked sunset sky with a tree in shadow on the left and a pale violet beam of light above their gripped hands.

 

You contain the sum total of the lived experiences of your forebears. 

To understand yourself, you must understand them. 

 

Tapping into the wisdom of your Bloodline, Milkline and Spiritline Ancestors, you will learn how to wield their wisdom to help you navigate traumatic experiences and troubled histories.  

 

Leaning into ancestral communication methods like altars, divination and dreaming, you will, with the guidance of your ancestors, chart your own course to Liberation. 

 

This looks like breaking free from the stuck places, cultivating a deep understanding of your innate healing abilities, and activating your belongingness. 

PILLAR T H R E E  

 Restorative Community 

We Are Not Meant To Do This Alone.

An image of Black Goddess Within Oracle Deck card called Celebration. It shows a round grass hut under a bright blue sky with white clouds. In front of the hut are a group of five Black women in white head wraps and strapless dresses dancing in celebration. They are surrounded by many different Black people wearing brightly colored clothing, smiling and looking both toward the dancers and at the camera.

 

Community is a critical component of any transformative process. 

 

A restorative community acts as a mirror, reflecting your wholeness back to you, while lovingly holding you accountable. 

 

In the Liberation Alchemy community you will unlock your innate ability to create home and wholeness anywhere. You will bathe in belonging. 

 

A strong sense of belonging yields improved physical health, increased cognitive functioning, enhanced mental health and better self-esteem. 

 

Being in community also transforms on a spiritual level. You will gain resilience, purpose, and clarity of values. 

 

The strength gained from being in community will help you complete the puzzle of your authenticity.

FELICIA H., SEX COACH AND THERAPIST 

 

“We cannot look away from the atrocities committed against Black Bodies.  It’s time to reckon with and heal this history.”

 

"Injustices have always been a part of the human experience, and in our current times social media and news channels make it so that we cannot look away from the atrocities committed against Black Bodies.  It’s time to reckon with and heal this history.  I'm glad we are collectively and individually working on the goddess within us all. I think this work is the beginning of the change that we need."

TANEE O.  MEETS MA’AT, THE EGYPTIAN GODDESS OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE  

“I found value in places I wasn’t looking nor even knew existed.”

"After working with Dr. G, I began to approach challenges with a different energy…I shifted my focus from outer surroundings towards how to care for my inner well-being first.  Dr. G helped me see options and value in places I wasn’t looking nor even realized existed.  Every conversation has resulted in growth.  If you are looking to take your dreams and plans to the next level, Dr. G and the community of like-hearted women will give you all the support you need to fly!"
