“Working with Ralph’s alchemical divination practices has led me to in credible healing and greater consciousness. His vast knowledge, navigational skills and mastery as a visionary guide have opened doors I never thought existed.

This is reflected in my yoga teaching, my coaching and in my personal relationships.” —Briege Aranaga, Yoga Teacher and Personal Coach. “The wisdom and insight that I have received during Ralph Metzner’s divination workshops have been profoundly beneficial to me personally. With great gratitude, 1 see also that 1 am a more skillful psychologist as a result of attending these workshops. Ralph has created a powerful set of tools for visioning and healing wisdom that we need in these difficult times." —Janis Phelps, Ph.D. Professor of Clinical Psychology and Therapist. “Ralph Metzner, in the wise elder phase of his life, after many pioneering journeys into the nature of human consciousness, brings us highly effective means of accessing deep insight and healing that he calls Alchemical Divination. I have personally found his work to be life transforming and extraordinarily wise. This is a transmission not to be missed!” —Rabbi Michael Ziegler. "I have had the privilege of participating in Dr. Metzner’s Alchemical Divinations on several occasions. Through his guidance I have healed past traumas, deepened my love and compassion for my parents, grandparents and sister, and have found greater clarity about my life purpose. His work is both practical and appeals to my imagination. I come away inspired, softened, and with a much broader vision of what my life is about. I use what I have learned through these processes in my own life and with my clients.” —Athena Katsaros, Life Coach and Workshop Leader. “Repeated experience with Ralph Metzner’s alchemical divinations has led me to a deepening resolution of emotional and spiritual issues within myself and my family and has allowed my life to more fully rest on a foundation profoundly connected with the Earth and her mythologies." —John Westover, Psychotherapist. “Ralph Metzners divination practices represent alchemy for our time, our place, our predicament. They are relevant and useful - an organized tried and true system for self-transformation. It is a way of re-membering.” —Phil Baum, Counselor, explorer, grandfather. “Working with Ralph’s divination process has been a powerful tool for me in my personal evolution. I have had invaluable insights about every aspect of my life. He is a master at this work and a treasure in my life." —Jill Moore, Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator. “The Alchemical Divination processes and teachings offer a human techno logy for accessing the inner realms, bringing human beings into contact with the healing powers of the psyche. Ralphs work helps open doors into the mysteries like no other, and here one may find the great grace that exists between the worlds as the imagination opens and offers its hand in collabora tive relationship with humans. These times we are in require new alignment between the realms and Ralphs work helps people of many walks of life create bridges that assist in collaboration and new flow of creative life energy between heaven and earth. The impact of Ralph Metzners work is utterly life changing — for humans, the spiritual realms, and our planet." —Monika Wikman, Ph.D. Jungian Analyst, Author o/ Pregnant Darkness: Alchemy and the Rebirth of Consciousness.
