Y O U R G U I D E :

Marissa is a Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Hypnotherapist, Shamanic Reiki Practitioner, Sound Alchemist, Ceremonialist, Holistic Healer, Spiritual Guide & Documentary Filmmaker.

A spiritual seeker for many years, she has woven different belief systems, scientific thought & ancient wisdom into her teachings. She believes that we must all individually and collectively return to our roots, return to the ancient teachings and ancient ways of being. She understands the importance of keeping our ancestor's and ancestar's ceremonial traditions alive to elevate our connection to the self, our communities, the Earth and the Cosmos as a whole.

She is devoted to being of service to Mother Earth & all her inhabitants to usher in a brighter future for the generations to come. Marissa has led ceremony all over the globe. She has witnessed countless miracles and manifestations of the divine in these spaces. Marissa has a passion for creating safe spaces for the exploration of one’s internal and external landscape. Whether this is during a 1:1 session, retreat, or group meditation, Marissa has mastered the art of guiding consciousness into elevated states of being.

I found myself suspended on the liminal edge of something vast and unfamiliar—a space between apathy and action. Stalled between burnout and a buried spark of innate creativity. It wasn’t the crushing darkness of depression I’d wrestled with in my youth, but it was its cousin: a quiet, creeping numbness. I knew it was time to act.

I packed my bags, paused my business, and followed a dream that had lingered in my heart since I was 14. I traveled to India, the birthplace of yoga, a land rich in ancient wisdom and practices that have expanded humanity’s collective capacity for enlightenment. For 30 days, I embarked on a rigorous immersion at the Golden Bridge School of Yoga.

I rose at 3 a.m. every morning, bleary-eyed but determined, to pray as the sun kissed the Himalayan mountains. For three hours every morning, I sat with my breath, thoughts, and resistance. Then every day unfurled into six more hours of Kundalini yoga and anatomy training—movements, mudras, and meditations designed to activate energy fields and unlock higher consciousness.

Shattering barriers and reclaiming pieces of myself, day by day.

~ It was a wildly transformative cracking open ~

Something huge shifted. During a small discussion circle, my words dissolved into tears of exaltation:

“I feel like I’ve been waiting forever to reconnect, integrate and embody this level of sensitivity.”

I confessed, my voice trembling with raw emotion,

"I feel like I have fully arrived."

The knowing deepened that this wasn’t just a personal journey; it was a calling. The practices that brought me back to life were tools too powerful to keep to myself. As I returned to New York City, the weight of seasonal depression that engulfs so many hit me with fresh clarity. Our urban environments, our fast-paced lives, and the long, dark winters leave us yearning for light.

The light we seek doesn’t come from outside. It shines from within.

This is a 13-week alchemical journey designed to help you awaken. Beginning on the Winter Solstice—the darkest day of the year—and culminating on the Spring Equinox.

This isn’t another wellness trend or fleeting self-help fix. Beacon is a fusion of ancient yogic science, Kundalini practices, and the timeless wisdom of alchemical transformation. It’s grounded in the scientific principles of the Gates of Alchemy, brought to life through daily discipline, community support, and the natural rhythm of the seasons.

Every week, you’ll be designated a kriya to practice daily at sunrise. A Kriya is —a powerful, transformative sequence of movements and breathwork—designed to align your body and mind with the truth of who you are. You’ll join a like-minded community in daily WhatsApp check-ins for accountability and connection, and every two weeks, we’ll gather for live ceremonies to anchor your progress and celebrate your growth.

What is Kriya Yoga?

What are the Gates of Alchemy?

What are the Gates to Alchemy?

George Ripley was a 15th-century English alchemist and a prominent figure in the mystical and esoteric traditions of alchemy. His writings and teachings had a profound influence on the development of European alchemical thought. Ripley is most famous for his work, The Compound of Alchemy, written around 1471, which presents a detailed explanation of the alchemical process through a metaphorical framework called the 12 Gates.

The 12 Gates to Alchemy

Ripley's 12 Gates are a step-by-step metaphorical guide to the alchemical process, describing the spiritual and material transformations necessary to achieve the Philosopher's Stone. Each "gate" represents a stage in the work (often called the Magnum Opus), combining practical chemistry with esoteric symbolism.

Calcination

The process of burning or heating to reduce matter to its most fundamental form. This symbolizes the purification of the spirit by destroying ego and impurities.

2. Dissolution

Dissolving the ashes from calcination in water or other solvents. It represents breaking down rigid thoughts or beliefs to prepare for renewal.

3. Separation

Dividing the pure from the impure. Spiritually, this stage involves identifying and isolating the essential aspects of oneself.

4. Conjunction

Combining purified substances. It symbolizes the unification of opposites (e.g., masculine and feminine, material and spiritual).

5. Putrefaction

Allowing the matter to decay, leading to rebirth. This stage mirrors the idea of death and resurrection in spiritual transformation.

6. Congelation

The thickening or solidification of matter. It represents stabilization of the newly purified elements.

7. Cibation

Feeding the substance to nourish and strengthen it. Spiritually, this is about integrating wisdom and spiritual truths into daily life.

8. Sublimation

The transformation of matter into a gaseous form before condensing it back into a purified state. It represents the elevation of the spirit.

9. Fermentation

Introducing a fermenting agent to further refine the material. Spiritually, it’s about inspiration and awakening to higher levels of consciousness.

10. Exaltation

Raising the material to its highest potential. This symbolizes achieving spiritual clarity and enlightenment.

11. Multiplication

Increasing the potency of the substance, making it capable of transforming greater quantities of base material into gold. Spiritually, this means expanding the reach of one’s enlightened state.

12. Projection

The final stage where the Philosopher’s Stone is cast onto base metals, transforming them into gold. Spiritually, this is the manifestation of enlightenment into the material world, completing the cycle of transformation.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"I found Marissa at a time when I first started my spiritual journey. Her videos, activations, and meditations sparked something within me and activated a deep resonance that propelled me into more embodiment and alignment to my higher self. My intuition told me that it was time to work with her. My time with Marissa have been one of the most transformative experiences that has springboarded my spiritual journey, self belief, clarity of purpose, sisterhood connection, healing, expansion, and so much more! The energy and impact of working with Marissa will always be with you. Thank you Marissa!"

- Trish

"Marissa’s gift of connection to source energy is something that, in over 10 years of spiritual work, I have never experienced. The journeys that she has guided me through have shown me truths about my life’s purpose that I have been searching for as long as I can remember. She has helped reveal what I needed to be accomplished to reignite my own connection to source consciousness in addition to being a true energetic mirror to help me better understand how I interact with the world around me. Her connection to the higher dimensional energy and ability to translate and teach exactly what I needed to hear has genuinely healed parts of myself I didn’t know needed to be healed. Through our time working together, there is truly no part of my life that hasn’t shifted or is currently shifting to a lighter more aligned way of being. Her dedication to the light and collective consciousness is inspiring, I’m so grateful to have been able to work with her and can not wait to do so again!"

- Katherine

"I feel like I have no words! The wisdom was immense, it was pure and easily digestible."

- Jessica

"This container was a beautiful experience from beginning to end. I think several features contributed to the success of this container chief among these was the particular group of women brought together. I marveled as again and again each sister acted as a reflector poignantly highlighting through their own experience something relevant to mine and offering much needed medicine. There was a very real sense that each sister was meant to be there. I think the triune process of asking women who felt called to join, filtering applicants, and listening to Spirit's leading, resulted in bringing together a group of woman, a sister hood, capable of true magic. I found the material high value, highly supportive and thoughtfully designed. I liked that it required me to put in my own energy and intention, but was purposefully put together in a way which supported my journey. I also loved how the container was so intimately designed to work with the astrological events."

- K

“It's difficult to sum up in words what working with Marissa has done for me. With her guidance, knowledge, and nurturing, I have been able to harness my personal power and inner knowing like never before. I am finally starting to leave my old stories and fears behind so I can step into my magic and create the life of my dreams, and this is all with Marissa’s wisdom and support along the way. The container she intentionally creates for expansion is helping me connect back to source and channel its energy every day - I couldn’t be more grateful. 🙏🏼”

- Anne
