Grounded Expansion to Access the Heart

We are being called to expand and consciously create the world we wish to see. But where do we start?

Join Instituto Xilonen (IX), in partnership with Mineral Muse, Sadie Kadlec, for a six-part experiential process of Crystal exploration and growth that leads us to a place where radical transformation can both occur and stabilize.

In the first five podcasts, we become familiar with the grounding or expansion energies of a different Crystal each day. These class sessions end with a meditation where participants will learn to hear their own unique message from the Crystal. During the last class, we bring everything together and use the solid foundational work of grounding and expansion to open and awaken the immense power and transformative properties of the heart.


Mineral Alchemy Series: Classes and Meditations

Classes #1-5 explore a different Crystal each day through both discussion and meditation. Class #6 synthesizes and anchors the work. Each podcast is available in two formats. One includes the entire teaching and meditation. The second is only the meditation for ease of repeated listening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this class for?
Anyone seeking to expand consciousness, heal, and find their own voice. In this course, we deepen our self-understanding and experience the constant support and guidance available from the mineral kingdom to help us balance body, mind, and spirit.

Do I need prior experience with Crystals?
Everyone has the ability to work with these Crystals – just participate with an open mind and heart. No prior experience is necessary.

Do I need to have all the Crystals to participate?
We will be working in the energetic realm, where the process and the practice itself will be transformative. If you do have the Crystals, wonderful. If not, you will still get great benefits connecting to them energetically. As a convenience for those who feel called to purchase a set of the Crystals explored in this class, IX created a Grounded Expansion Kit. More information can be found here.
