How to join

Membership in Wholesome Alchemy begins with connection. We invite those who are interested to first join us through yoga classes, workshops, or retreats to experience our community and practices. From there, conversations unfold naturally about deeper involvement and how each person feels called to contribute. Our process is less about formal applications and more about building authentic relationships, aligning with our values, and ensuring that both the individual and the community feel resonance in moving forward together.

Basic expectations or agreements for members

If you’d like to visit our community, the best way to connect is through our website at www.wholesomealchemy.com. We host yoga classes, workshops, and seasonal retreats where visitors can experience our community, practices, and way of life. We encourage anyone interested to reach out through our contact form or email us directly to learn about upcoming opportunities. Visits are typically coordinated around events, programs, or retreats so guests can immerse themselves in the rhythm of our practices and get a true feel for our community.

Conflict resolution approach

At Wholesome Alchemy, our approach to governance is rooted in shared values, open communication, and mutual respect. We are not a hierarchical or rigidly structured community. Instead, we practice collaborative decision-making that encourages all voices to be heard.
Decisions are guided by our core principles of intention, authenticity, and connection, and we strive to create an environment where leadership is fluid and responsibility is shared. We hold space for dialogue, reflection, and consensus where possible, and we recognize that the health of our community depends on cultivating trust and transparency
Our process emphasizes relationship before rules — we believe that when we are aligned in heart and purpose, decision-making becomes a natural extension of our shared vision. As we grow, we remain committed to refining these practices so that our governance reflects both our values and the evolving needs of our community.

Additional economic information

Members with pre-existing debt: allowed
Wholesome Alchemy’s economic model is rooted in shared resources, mutual support, and sustainability. Our community is not driven by profit but by purpose, and we aim to create systems that reflect balance, fairness, and collective care.
Currently, our offerings such as yoga classes, workshops, and retreats help support the community while also creating opportunities for others to connect with our practices. We value contribution in many forms, whether through financial support, shared skills, or service to the community, recognizing that each person brings unique gifts.
As we grow, we are exploring ways to further embody regenerative economics, where energy and resources circulate within the community and excess is shared outward. Our vision is to create a model where everyone’s needs are met through collaboration, creativity, and a spirit of generosity, ensuring that our economics reflect the same values of intention, authenticity, and connection that guide all areas of our community.

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest.

Do you feel called to help co-create a small, newly forming eco-spiritual community?

Old structures are crumbling. New ways of living are calling. We are answering that call. Wild Grace is an eco-spiritual community located in the Sierra foothills 30 minutes from Grass Valley, California. We recently completed new homes for those who feel called to our vision. Currently there are four of us living on this sacred 80 acres of land although we are a hub for an expanded neighborhood community. Many join us weekly for potlucks, expressive dance, Qi Gong, monthly musical gatherings, and seasonal celebrations in our temple, as well as tending to our orchard. We are excited to welcome others to join us on the land who are dedicating their lives to spiritual growth and ready to live in a more focused and intimate heart-centered lifestyle. Might that be you or someone you know? The fundamentals are simple. Spirit. We listen personally and collectively together most mornings, usually starting with a musical offering, a prayer, or a short reading, followed by about 40 minutes of what we call “sacred silence.” Heart Circles. About once a week we gather to share and listen. We are informed by authentic and compassionate communication practices. Nature. The land itself—an 80-acre oasis of field and forest perched above the wild and scenic South Yuba River—calls for our stewardship in the gardens, orchard, greenhouses, and general care. In turn, nature feeds us abundantly, both literally and spiritually. Interbeing. We join with others to share inspiration and connection as we host monthly gatherings of song, story and prayer that draws from the larger community in addition to other events we share with our closer neighbors. As we attend to these fundamentals, Grace flows to and through us—often in “Wild” or unexpected ways. Grace catalyzes through us, but is not something we possess. Because we all are connected, we feel that Grace actively transforms n
