The name “Alchemí” is a play off the word “alchemy” and the Spanish word “mí” (“me”). The philosophy is that change or transformation (making ourselves and the world better) starts with each of us, the individual, and by connecting to our true selves, and becoming our best selves, we are able to find out greatest and highest use, our way to serve the world—which will not only make the world a better place because we have lived, but will give us joy and fulfillment. It is the idea of soulful change: change that starts on a personal level, but then radiates or ripples out to the world. That starts within an organization but grows outward. The realization of potential, becoming your best and highest self, and using that self to create a more beautiful world to live in. If you've ever read Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist, you will know what I mean. The "alchemy" of turning lead into gold is really a metaphor for transforming yourself. _________ If anything is unclear or not specific enough, I am happy to discuss more over email, skype, or phone. This is the beginning of a life's work for me, and I am so excited and grateful that you are choosing to be a part of it. Thank you so much in advance.
