Introducing the Founder & Facilitator
“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree”
- MLK, Jr.
Welcome! I'm Alexandra Gordon, a native New Yorker who recently traded the humidity of New York City for sunny Santa Fe. After a lifetime on the East Coast dedicated to educating and empowering the city's children—first as a licensed special education teacher across all subjects (grades 6-12), then as a teacher coach/trainer—I've channeled my passion for actualizing human potential into my newest venture: The Alchemical Nexus Collective.
This collective is my brainchild, designed to unearth and elevate the unique voices of lesser-known, up-and-coming, and/or local artists and artisans, connecting them with innovative vendors and venues.
Art has an unparalleled ability to acknowledge, represent, repair and heal individuals and communities.
Our mission is to fortify and increase the capacity of a vibrant community through the transformative, healing power of art and artistic representation. Through immersive, educational, and experiential community events, we foster genuine connections and mutual appreciation, creating a nexus where creativity flourishes, stories are told, and personal and collective growth intertwine.
Deeply inspired by the Magician tarot card, I believe we all possess the innate power and magic to manifest the worlds we desire. You can do it all on your own, but our magic is stronger together. Let’s collaborate and make magic!
