About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Join Suleika Jaouad for a very special virtual workshop to celebrate the publication of her new book, The Book of Alchemy. The workshop will take place the day before publication—on April 21, 2025, at 7pm ET.


In this interactive workshop, Suleika will share how journaling has helped her tap into that divine, mystical trait that exists in everyone: creativity. She will lead us through some prompts to help us transmute the seemingly commonplace or difficult things in life into something precious, like gold.


You don't need any prior experience to join. This practice is for everyone! Please bring the writing materials of your choice.


To join, simply pre-order a copy of The Book of Alchemy from the retailer of your choice and submit proof of your purchase when registering.


This event will be hosted on Zoom and YouTube. The event experience is the same, but you can only turn on your microphone and camera in Zoom. Please pick the platform right for you when joining the event. Once the Zoom is full, you will be automatically directed to YouTube.
