“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul.”

— Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Unlock the transformative power within you with Inner Alchemy, a one-day immersion designed to reset what holds you back and unleash your creative potential. Through the synergy of 5Rhythms® and Tao Alchemy Arts, we invite you to clear your channels and tap into the magic of your creative genius.

This immersive journey harnesses the energy of movement and inner alchemy, guiding you to break through limitations and expand into your highest self.

When creative energy is trapped, we feel stagnant, disconnected, and uninspired. But when we clear the pathways of expression—through movement, breath, and energetic refinement—we awaken a deep well of inspiration, wisdom, and power.

This is the work of Inner Alchemy: transforming what blocks you into fuel for your creative expansion.

In this Immersion you will:

Break out of your small self and embrace expansive possibilities.
Cleanse your body from stagnation, revitalizing your energy flow.
Raise creative energy to inspire innovation and expression.
Transform trapped negative emotions into positive virtues like clarity, joy, and trust.
Re-awaken your Genius within, reconnecting with your innate brilliance.
Reset your system to resonate at a higher frequency of creativity and vitality.

About 5Rhythms®

5Rhythms® is a dynamic movement meditation practice created by Gabrielle Roth that explores five essential movement patterns: Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. These rhythms reflect the natural cycles of energy in life, guiding us to move with awareness and authenticity. Flowing connects us to our grounded, receptive nature. Staccato awakens clarity, expression, and direction. Chaos invites us to release control and surrender to transformation. Lyrical lifts us into freedom and expansion, while Stillness brings us into deep presence and inner listening. This practice is a profound way to move through emotional and energetic blockages, opening us to the creative force that naturally lives within us.

About Tao Alchemy Arts

Tao Alchemy Arts is rooted in the ancient Taoist wisdom of inner transformation, where energy cultivation is seen as the key to health, longevity, and spiritual awakening. These practices teach us how to purify and refine our internal energy, transmuting stagnant emotions into vitality, wisdom, and creativity. By working with breath, visualization, and subtle energetic movements, Tao Alchemy Arts offers a pathway to clearing our internal channels, raising our vibration, and unlocking our natural ability to create and manifest. Through this work, we learn to embody our full potential—not just in our creative expression but in every aspect of life.

Movement and energy alchemy are two sides of the same coin. While 5Rhythms® frees the body, awakens emotional expression, and clears stuck energy through dynamic movement, Tao Alchemy Arts refines and directs that energy, helping us transmute old patterns into creative potential. Together, these two practices create a powerful synergy—one that brings both liberation and refinement, spontaneity and mastery, release and integration.

This Immersion hosted by Gloria Glo and Minke de Vos created such a beautiful and amazing space for me to come home to my body and my truth. I am so grateful to both women for sharing these two practices with us. The exploration of the feminine guided by Gloria has become such an inspiration for how I move in this practice and a beacon for how I want to move through my life. I am deeply inspired by the way Gloria draws out the creative spirit in each of us while also holding such amazing space for us to explore our shadows.

Minke do Vos is so grounded in the practice of Tao Tantric Arts and shared a wealth spring of knowledge and practices that are deeply nourishing to the feminine body and spirit.

Participating in this one-day immersion was a deeply nourishing experience. Gloria holds a beautiful, supportive space both on and off the dance floor, offering full permission to show up exactly as I am and express myself openly. Her deep feminine wisdom creates a safe, sacred container to explore and reconnect with my own feminine energy. It was especially powerful to do this work surrounded by a community of like-hearted women, allowing me to feel seen, supported, and celebrated in true sisterhood.

I highly recommend any experience Minke offers—her deep wisdom shines through in her teaching, using simple, metaphorical language that makes complex practices feel accessible and embodied. Through Minke’s guidance, I have become much more attuned to my inner energy flow, gaining a deeper understanding of my subtle energies and sensing them with greater clarity. Her approach holds a wealth of feminine wisdom, inviting me to connect with the sacred essence of my own feminine nature.
