What would you call someone who is a very creative person with questions and not consuming reality the way it was told to them? Some would call that person normal, while others would perceive them as weird while a select few in the medical “health” community would label them mentally ill.

Sarah Elkhaldy describes her journey from being declared mentally ill by “experts” to learning who she really is — a gifted mystic and spiritual teacher skilled in the esoteric arts — and shares why alchemy is synonymous to awakening this week on Spirit Gym.

Learn more about Sarah and her work on her website (where you can find out more about her Spiritual Retreat in Sedona in January 2025). Find her on social media via Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Rumble.
