Website Community Survey

We want to make our website better serve you! Let us know any thoughts you’ve got on the website so we can incorporate that in this form: https://forms.office.com/r/tL8Q7X7zZv 

It's mainly open-ended questions, but if you want some specific prompts:

What do you go to the Alchemy website to learn/find out about? 

Have you struggled to find certain info, or have things you think work great? 

Would you be down to give more feedback or do user testing? If so check out this link 

Let's make next year’s information distribution even better!

Social Media Community Survey

Alchemy is always trying to plan our event in a way that honors our community values. Part of that includes regularly checking in with our community to see where your values are. 

Please help us guide decisions about which social media platforms we use for community building by filling out the form below:

.

We are committed to supporting the community wherever they gather online, and we thank you for participating in our surveys to help guide us to the best-fit decisions.

D6 Announcement: Community Support (Copy)

Life is hard, many of us are struggling and need community support. We are so much more than a yearly event, we are a community. People need support year-round, and we are committed to building a community network of support.

Let's get pragmatic and practice some good ol' Communal Effort. Filling out this form doesn't mean you're signing up to do anything specifically; it just gives us an idea of what things people are willing, able, and want to do or accept.

If you're overwhelmed by the duties of life and interested in developing a practical support network within the community, take 2 minutes to tell us how you'd like to participate in that network. There are lots of parts to play and there are no wrong answers ❤️

2025 Board and Event Team Leads

The happiest of New Year to all Alchemists who celebrate!

We hope you came into January feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Fresh updates and exciting plans are brewing this year for our community.

After our event in October, our community voted to fill new board member seats in our 2-year term. You can find those results here:

After the community chooses new board members, the board elects their non-voting board member and Event Lead Team (ELT) liaison. We're excited to announce Butters as the new non-voting board member, and our 2025 Event Lead Team, consisting of Ernie, Patrick, and Smiles. Smiles will serve as the ELT liaison.

Community Event: Ax Soup

Ax Soup...? What's Ax Soup? Ax Soup is a variation of Stone Soup. Don't know about Stone Soup... no worries here's the Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Soup

Lauren Hennessey has been kind enough to open her home up to the community so we can gather and share a meal. This is a community potluck and this one is going to be centered around children. Kid focused foods and activities. Like all of our community events, this is open to all ages and folks without kids are welcome and encouraged to join us. Radical Inclusion means there is space for everyone.

What to bring:

• a dish to share with an ingredients list

• plates, utensils, cup

• camp chair

• if you'd like to bring a game, activity, or low-mess craft that would be super cool.
