We’re excited to help you transform your life through breathwork, cold therapy, and healthy living. While on a five-year worldwide journey of self-discovery and healing, we found breathwork after a chance encounter with a stranger in Barcelona. This technique helped us break addictions, overcome childhood trauma, heal mental health issues and reconstruct self-limiting belief systems. When we returned home to Salt Lake City, Utah, we began teaching people in our community the power of breathwork and cold therapy and have facilitated hundreds of people to use this technique to change their lives in workshops online and in our studio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1601253036798-VOYZGBT2MZ3979HYWF1O/paulus.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1601253078140-BSWOC7S2ETVU7QQCCK6A/icebath.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/283a4be7-7388-4d66-9743-e72859d4144c/Amy.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/5a75517a-e70e-44ae-a1ad-77aceaadafd6/Joseheadshot.png Home https://www.alkemirising.com/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2022-01-05 https://www.alkemirising.com/book daily 0.75 2022-08-17 https://www.alkemirising.com/events daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/b11feee1-eb2c-4635-a064-8cc43c6559dd/Inner+Harmony-Jan+%287.5+%C3%97+9.5+in%29.png Special Events - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.alkemirising.com/book-private-sessions daily 0.75 2021-09-06 https://www.alkemirising.com/coaching daily 0.75 2022-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1601253036798-VOYZGBT2MZ3979HYWF1O/paulus.jpeg Coaching - Live YOUR vision of recovery.

Crafted from the union of two complementary plants, it serves as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, opening pathways for insight, purification, and connection. Its preparation and use are deeply rooted in the cosmology and medicine traditions of Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, where it continues to be honored as a teacher and guide.

This practice has been an integral part of ceremonial traditions across all continents for millennia. Significantly, it's the first action we take upon entering this world and the last before we depart. We will be integrating the medicine work with this powerful tool and teaching you how to lean on this sacred medicine upon returning home. In the days and weeks that follow, the real work begins— making meaning, finding grounding, and weaving insights into the fabric of your daily life. Breathwork offers a powerful bridge between realms. With every conscious breath, you anchor the soul back into the body, releasing what no longer serves and calling back the parts of yourself scattered by time, trauma, or transformation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/e99f86a7-6635-47d2-aeb6-f0fde02ecb6d/Photo+22-11-2019%2C+12+32+26+%281%29.jpg Awakening To Your True Essence - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/dff3d88d-5630-4cfa-9b9a-ca7ef448887d/IMG_4769.jpg Awakening To Your True Essence - Discover The Strength Within - Ice Baths This practice is not just about physical endurance; it's a method to strengthen willpower and resilience, to prepare you for your return home from the retreat. While the retreat can offer a sanctuary, the real work begins when you return home.

Songs, prayers, and water infused with herbal essences form part of a profound cosmology within this ancient healing practice, inherited from the great civilizations of Abya Yala— what is now known as the American continent. These sacred rituals are more than remedies; they are echoes of ancestral wisdom, weaving together the voices of the earth, the spirits of the plants, and the whispers of the wind. Each chant carries the vibration of healing, each prayer a bridge between the visible and the unseen, and each drop of blessed water a conduit for renewal. Through this communion with nature, the soul finds balance, the body regains its strength, and the heart remembers its ancient song—a song of unity, harmony, and deep reverence for life itself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1f8c702f-e37b-4f2d-b637-885a08d89836/download+%285%29.png Awakening To Your True Essence - Where We’ll Stay DESCRIPTION OF THE LOCATION Nestled deep in the lush Mayan jungle near Chemuyil (just a short drive from Tulum), Casa Arkaana is a retreat space that was designed for medicinal ceremonies.

I did not seek out my teachers, yet life, in its infinite wisdom, placed them before me. I learned through lessons carved into flesh and spirit, through encounters that seemed woven by destiny itself. I was born into a family whose ancestral roots had been severed by colonialism, yet the echoes of memory always find cracks through which to bloom. My search began early—at fourteen, I felt the call of my blood, drawing me toward the medicine closest to my spirit. In the stories of my paternal lineage, I found guidance in my aunt, Zara Rodas, a shaman from the land of my grandparents, on the border between Mexico and Guatemala, in the heart of Chiapas. She was the one who reminded me where I came from, and in that reconnection, I ignited the flame of a journey with no return. Through this path, I have been initiated into the sacred tradition of Mexica dance, a ceremony where the heartbeat of the drum aligns with the rhythm of the cosmos, reconnecting the body and spirit to the ancient pulse of the earth. I have also received the original wisdom of the Inca, guided by the Q’eros, the last guardians of the Andean lineage, who have kept alive the teachings of Pachamama, the Apus, and the sacred codes of reciprocity and harmony. In my journey, I have also learned to prepare and guide the use of sacred natural medicines—the gifts of the earth and spirit. I have worked with mushrooms, San Pedro, Peyote, Bufo, Kambo, Ayahuasca, Rapé, and others, walking the delicate path of healing with deep respect for these ancestral remedies. Each medicine, a teacher. Each ceremony, a bridge between the seen and the unseen, guiding those who seek transformation, healing, and remembrance. From the lands of the north to the edges of the south, from Mexico to Chile and Argentina, I walked through mountains and jungles, alongside sacred rivers and whispering winds, gathering the scattered fragments of my being. Along the way, I found the key to reconstructing myself, to healing my lineage, to remembering what time and silence had tried to erase. And so, the path I began for myself became a service to others—a fire kindled not only for my family but for all those who seek to remember. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1601250545850-74KFK4LDGHMO7FKMR7UU/IMG_1365.jpg Awakening To Your True Essence - CASS & JEREMIE PAULUS Breathwork Guides & Retreat Host We have been hosting others through transformational experiences long before we dove into the world of plant medicine. From “holding space” during LSD-fueled parties, to organizing bus-loads of “ravers” on cross-country music festivals tours for 7 years running, our roots in transformation are unconventional—and a little irreverent and we have sat in every “set and setting” imaginable. After our early years of wild psychedelic experimentation that evolved into excessive alcohol use, we made a life-altering decision: we sold everything we owned, bought a motorcycle, and set off through Latin America to, well… “figure it out.” That journey took us from Las Vegas to Medellín, around the world, and eventually to Bali, Indonesia. Along the way, we went through the inevitable personal crises, attempting to outrun them through travel, only to be confronted by our addictions, past wounds, projections, and all the clever ways we tried to bypass the real work. It was a deep period of healing and self-discovery— one that nearly ended in divorce more than once. But it ultimately led to a deeper love for ourselves, for each other, and for the path we’re now on: contributing to a new way of being. Since returning to the U.S. in 2020, we founded our community Inner Alchemy and have supported over 1,000 people through breathwork and ice bath sessions in Salt Lake City. Today, we live in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico, with our two young children, and we’re honored to weave together our love of travel, sacred space-holding, plant medicine, and transformative healing into our upcoming retreats. https://www.alkemirising.com/about-alkemi-rising daily 0.75 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg About Us https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/92111b98-d339-4bbb-bedd-4fb56364ea77/Wide+Logo+Alkemi+Rising+%282%29.png https://www.alkemirising.com/about-alkemi-rising-1 daily 1.0 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg About Us (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg About Us (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg About Us (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/92111b98-d339-4bbb-bedd-4fb56364ea77/Wide+Logo+Alkemi+Rising+%282%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/e99f86a7-6635-47d2-aeb6-f0fde02ecb6d/Photo+22-11-2019%2C+12+32+26+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/3720eedb-9a39-469e-957e-73335bf6de5e/IMG_20260122_161155_Bokeh.jpg https://www.alkemirising.com/awakening-1 daily 0.75 2026-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1771796018793-Q74SQGI50SZ8FLFJZ72V/unsplash-image-UBxoHz3zQG4.jpg Weekend Immerision - Why “After the Opening” Matters Peak experiences expand you. But without anchoring, they can also: Heighten sensitivity without stability Create awareness without change Leave you questioning why you still feel misaligned Add pressure to “live up” to what you experienced This weekend is about closing that gap. From insight → embodiment. From awareness → aligned choice. From expansion → grounded living. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/7799913e-096e-4f31-8ea4-17ce935e2863/IMG_20220717_103607.jpg Weekend Immerision - What We’ll Explore Together This is not about performance This is a recalibration. Across two intentional days in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, we’ll move through a steady arc: Nervous System Grounding Breathwork sessions designed not for emotional theatrics — but for regulation, clarity, and anchoring. Cold Therapy Simple, embodied practice that builds resilience and presence. Meeting discomfort consciously. Strengthening self-trust. Truth Circles Small-group, facilitated conversations where you can speak what’s real — without performance, advice, or fixing. Identity & Alignment Work Where are you not living what you know? What insight have you not yet acted on? What would alignment require? We’ll share the tools that bring you awareness, intention and presence so that you can live in greater alignment with your life purpose and vision. Social Connection The final evening is intentionally spacious. Humans meeting other humans walking this path — connecting over good food, real conversation and laughter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1771796572586-Z85EZV7CBHCL5BF3OAL8/unsplash-image-pQONTsRI4FE.jpg Weekend Immerision - The Setting We’ll gather in a beautiful mountain location within 30 minutes of Salt Lake City. Clean air. Open space. Stillness. You will arrive each day at 10:00 AM. We close in the early evening. This is an immersion — not an escape. You return home each night to let the work settle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/bb0da4ac-1117-449b-8ac5-2f290959b7cc/IMG_1365.jpg Weekend Immerision - Why Cass & Paulus This work began in their own lives. Cass and Paulus have walked through seasons of unraveling, rebuilding, and redefining what alignment actually means in marriage, leadership, and personal evolution. They’ve hosted retreats, facilitated hundreds of breathwork journeys, and guided intimate circles for years — always anchored in one principle: Transformation without integration creates instability. Cass brings an educational background in psychology, executive-level leadership experience, and a deep understanding of the pressures modern women carry. Paulus brings depth and training in cold exposure, breathwork, and grounded masculine containment — with an emphasis on resilience and emotional honesty. Together, they create spaces where honesty and authenticity is welcome and spiritual performance isn’t needed. They understand what happens after awakening. Because they’ve lived it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1771798481220-G19JQ7L4NS71TX1AP5T6/unsplash-image-YEjwA2TofhQ.jpg Weekend Immerision - What You’ll Leave With Not ten revelations. One grounded shift. You’ll leave with: A clearer sense of what alignment actually requires. A calmer nervous system One decision or commitment you feel ready to embody New relationships rooted in depth Tools to stabilize expansion without chasing more You’ll feel slower. Clearer. Less divided. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f710895f7d1f13643ef46e5/1771797643911-56RRPHC6VLNVF1J4PRU1/unsplash-image-VL9ugqp_mko.jpg Weekend Immerision - If You Feel the Quiet Yes You don’t need another opening.
