One of the dictionary definitions of Alchemist is " a person who transforms or creates something…read morethrough a seemingly magical process". Well magic does happen in this urban industrial space in NoLibs used by people in the food and beverage industry to meet, educate or just partake in libation centered events with brews and spirits. The 4 times I've been here have been due to my membership in a Whiskey Club where we've had tastings with local and global whiskey ambassadors. Parking- I've always found a space on the street never having had to walk more than half a block. Transit- its a 3 minute walk from the Girard MFL. Usually we have snacks along with our whiskey expressions. it's very nice to sit across from one another at the long, tables with soft tablecloths in this warm and comfortable interior. Adding to Alchemist's Society's building charm, is occasionally hearing the gentle, muffled roll of the EL overhead. Muffled because The building is as solid as a brick $&@?house. This is a great space in which to gather and we will return often!

We went to the Mother's Day Tea Cocktails event and had a great time! The cocktails were excellent,…read moreand the paired snacks were a perfect addition. Our hosts were attentive and informative.

You just have to show up to lab like 2 - 3 times a week to complete your clinical competencies. This is the only program I know that is running this type of program. I have to work so it works for me. There is a 6 - 10 lab. I recommend this training school.

Too bad they have terrible customer service and sell expired food. It feels as though the woman…read moreworking there doesn't like her job. This same woman has been rude/ unfriendly to me on multiple occasions. I usually never leave the store without spending at least $100. When I told her the crackers I bought yesterday for a dinner party were expired she just looked at me with a fake smile and said she had them recently and that is how they are supposed to taste. I spent three months in Italy and never have I tasted something so stale. I was explaining to her how awful they were and no I would not like another bag. She just kept saying I'm sorry and smiling. No refund, and unwilling to say the customer is right. Will not be returning there.

Another cool experience in Philadelphia. I am loving this city!…read more My husband and I received a gift certificate to Cook as a wedding gift and we didn't realize how quickly the events book up. Holy snikees! You have to literally log on to their website the minute the classes are posted and reserve a spot immediately. We got married in May and have been trying to use our gift certificate ever since. It was worth the wait! Our event was hosted by The Royal Chef (Darren McGrady). He cooked for 5 US Presidents in addition to the Queen of England and her family. Needless to say, he didn't disappoint. Not only was the food he created fantastic, but he was personable and super funny. There were 16 people total (which is the max for the space) and we enjoyed observing Darren and learning new techniques. The wrap-around counter ensures that eveyone has a bird's eye view. We loved every minute of it. Our menu included: - Blueberry, Feta and Kale Salad - Chili and Garlic Crusted Shrimp with Double Cheese Grits - Minute Steaks with Blue Cheese, Caramelized Onions, and Cannellini Bruschetta - Sticky Toffee Pudding with Clotted Cream The staff at Cook is top-notch. Never an empty wine nor water glass, and plates were delivered and cleared with the quickness. It was a casual, social, and fun setting. This is not a hands-on culinary event, rather, this is an event where you sit back, relax, and watch your chef work their magic. You don't have to lift a finger and that's the way I like it! You can purchase kitchen gadgets and goodies at this location at a 15% discount on the day of your event. Cook offers something for everyone. Some of the events are pricey, but there are some that are more budget-friendly. Check it out and be sure to work those quick-typing fingers to reserve a fun class fast!

If you're looking to host a unique wine experience, I'd highly recommend The Classe Cru! I was…read moreinterested in putting together a virtual event for my clients. When considering a wine tasting, I was a bit skeptical at first. I've heard of some poor experiences, such as receiving very ordinary wines you can find at your local store for half the price. Working with Miranda and DJ put me at ease. They made such an effort to understand my needs for the event, especially being that I was planning this for my key clients. They curated a number of very unique wines, many of which I've never heard of before and guided me in how to procure them to reach my customers in time for the event. We worked closely together in crafting a highly engaging experience that would keep my clients captivated for the 1.5 hours. Miranda's sense of humor and style had my clients entertained the entire time, with several of them asking for recommendations for their personal wine collection. Overall, The Classe Cru delivered far above my expectations! I've since reached out to them to curate wines for dinner parties and holiday gatherings. Their selections have always impressed my guests and perfectly complemented the food!

They were both extremely helpful and informative in choosing a major, classes and navigating all aspects of college that can be overwhelming.

Since as early as I can remember (3 years old though 15 years old), I was a victim of repeated…read morechild abuse. Because of this abuse, by the time I reached 15, I grew to hate any male that was older than me, each one seen as a threat. I went from religion to religion seeking some kind of light in the dark world that I was in however I never found it. When my son was born, I had the overwhelming fear that what happened to me, I would do to my son, so I sought out professional help. The head shrinks gave me some understanding and helped me just enough that my health insurance would allow, but the rage and hatred was still there. One could say that the rage that was in me was a very very strong demon. By the time I reached my 30s I have been through 7 religions and 3 head shrinks, yet I still had my demon, so to speak. One day a co-worker was telling me about a class that his wife went through and how impressed he was. It got me intrigued enough to do some research then I called. I talked to Natalie for about 30 minutes or so, I must have driven her nuts with all of my questions. Never the less, I signed up for my first class shortly there after. It has been 3 years since that first class, I must say beyond a shadow of a doubt, Pranic Healing has changed my life so much and so fast. Rage, stress, anger, worry, all words that mean so little to me now. The rage and hatred are just about gone. I still have more work to do for myself but Pranic Healing has done so much for my life in 3 years where religion and head shrinks could not do in 38 years. It took time and work on my part but it was all very worth it. I would recommend Pranic Healing to anyone. Thank you Natalie and Mike and Thank you Pranic Healing!!!! M.M.

I am looking forward to possibly taking the pranic psychotherapy course in the future.
