"Alchemy of Self" is a transformative process of personal growth, akin to how alchemists sought to turn base metals into gold. In a metaphorical sense, it refers to refining the human spirit, mind, and potential through self-discovery, learning, spiritual or psychological evolution, and/or working directly with a Teacher.
