DOWNLOADABLE PROVIDED: Members of this class will receive a downloadable version of this 8-card, one-of-a-kind deck by Kristen Radden.

Then you are in the right place.

Join us for a gentle deep dive through the trigrams of the I Ching. This session will be full of information on the I Ching, give you a list of resources to use beyond the workshop, provide opportunities for journaling, and offer the chance for INTERACTIVE conversation about how we can deconstruct this ancient tool in order to reconstruct our current life situations.

Join Kristen Radden as she guides you to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you by unlocking the voice of the I Ching. The I Ching is one of the oldest and most influential books in the world. It is a Chinese classic text that has been used for centuries for divination, guidance, and self-reflection. The I Ching is composed of 64 hexagrams. Typically, for an I Ching reading, the interpretive text of these hexagrams is consulted. However, there is another way to read the I Ching, without using a book of translations or commentaries. 

In this 4-hour course, you’ll learn to deconstruct the I Ching, and use the building blocks of the hexagram to gain immediate and intuitive messages to modern dilemmas. In this beginner-friendly course, you will:
  • Learn about the history and origins of the I Ching
  • Cast a hexagram using playing cards or a tarot deck
  • Explore the eight trigrams and their meanings
  • Uncover a simple predictive tool hidden in each hexagram
  • Understand how the 6 lines of a hexagram relate to the physical body
  • Find pearls of wisdom in every hexagram
  • Connect to the wisdom of the I Ching and perform readings with greater confidence and flexibility.

Meet LifeAlchemist, Kiala Givehand

Kiala Givehand, Creator of The LifeAlchemy Academy™
Hello Beautiful Creative You!
I'm happy you're here. I'm Kiala Givehand, a multi-passionate intuitive & intentional creative. I walk through the world as a LifeAlchemist™ for creative, heart-centered, soul-filled women who want to change the world by shining their light more fully and more brightly. I call myself a LifeAlchemist™ because I help women bring together all the parts of themselves to create a life they love. As an Alchemist, I support women through creative and spiritual awakenings and guide them towards empowerment.

As an artist, I make (and sometimes sell) handmade journals using a mix of mediums. I host workshops, retreats and online classes where I get to teach the things that nourish my soul -- bookbinding, journaling, printmaking, creative writing, astrology, Tarot, Human Design, and self-discovery through transformational tools and content.

For almost 20 years, I taught English, Language Arts, and Creative Writing at every educational level, while simultaneously traveling the U.S. delivering workshops and presentations to educators. While I no longer travel to work with teachers, I now enjoy working one-on-one and in small groups with students, teachers, artists, writers, and creative entrepreneurs. I do this work because I love helping women find the thing that fills them with joy and watching them pursue it without regrets or apologies.

I cherish every single day and treat life as one amazing adventure. I play with paint and watercolor, fold paper into books, write poetry, short fiction, & creative non-fiction, and guide women through sacred remembering of who they truly are. But always, every single day, I journal and do something that I feel is creative. Oh!! And did I mention that I'm the proud owner of a fabulous collection of fountain pens? (I know. Geek alert!)
​
Join me in The LifeAlchemy Academy™ and let's create something beautiful, TODAY!!

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the course start and finish?
The course starts as soon as you register! Then we spend October 27th together on ZOOM. The content for the class will be available to you for 6 months.
What if I don't know anything about the I Ching?
This is a class for all levels. Kristen is sharing her way of working with the I Ching that she has not taught anywhere else, so no one is expected to know how to do it this way. Everyone will be learning this method for the first time. 
What if I can't attend any of the live sessions?
Each session is recorded and made available shortly after it ends. You can rewatch as many times as you need to in the 6 months that you have access to the content. However, please keep in mind that the real benefit of this INTERACTIVE class is to be present in real time with the group. This is how you get the most benefit from this course. 
I do not own a Tarot Deck, can i take this class?
Yes! This is NOT a Tarot course. You can use a regular set of playing cards. If you want to use Tarot but don't have a deck, please find a Tarot app for the readings and activities Kristen will share.
Do you guarantee that I will understand the I CHING better after this class?
Absolutely not. We can't guarantee that because at LifeAlchemy Academy™, we believe that your understanding of any tool depends on your willingness to study it, work with it, and learn the symbols. There is also great benefit in honing your intuition. Without these things, your understanding of any divination tool will remain surface level. 
What if I am unhappy with the course?
Once you get access to the content of the class, you will not be eligible for a refund. If you are unhappy after the course starts, email me (Kiala) and let's chat. Life getting in the way, or screwing up the time zone are NOT refundable situations. Please purchase the course mindfully.

Registration requires you to create a FREE ACCOUNT in my online academy -- LifeAlchemy Academy™ hosted on the Mighty Network platform. When you click the registration buttons on this page, you will be taken to the Academy sign in / sign up page.

Can I Pay in InSTALLMENTS? 
Unfortunately, this course does not offer an installment plan.
