The Name “Alchemi”

It’s about striving for soulful change

Why the name Alchemi?

The name “Alchemi” is a play off the word “alchemy” and the Spanish word “mí” (meaning “my”).   It represents our belief that change or transformation—making ourselves and the world better than we are—starts with each of us, the individual, and by connecting to our true selves, and becoming our best selves, we are able to find our greatest and highest use, our way to serve the world—which will not only make the world a better place because we have lived, but will give us joy and fulfillment.

This is the first step in the process of what we call “soulful change;” change that starts on a personal level, then spreads to the world.  That starts within an organization and grows outward to realize its full potential.

Capturing the essence

About the Logo

The Alchemi logo strives to capture the essence of our values and ideals. It is simultaneously both a candle flame sitting on wax, and a drop of water rippling outward. The Alchemi fire/water drop, by representing the union of these two opposites, represents the power and impact of combining:

• • The tangible + the intangible
  • The tactical and local + a global worldview
  • Action + Reflection
  • Personal responsibility + Empathy and compassion
  • Results (the end product) + process (the how)
  • A life of action, service, doing + a life of loving, enjoying, being
  • The practical and actionable + the spiritual and universal
  • The ripples and radiance represent how becoming your best self, or building the best organization possible, extends from where you start out into the world.

More joy, more meaning.  A better world.
