I. Why do most practitioners of the Hermetic Art, in seeking the Lapidem Philosophorum (the Philosopher’s Stone), or the Stone of the Wise, strive in vain, spending great expense, toil, and labor upon it, and yet are nevertheless unable to find the way on which they work?

II. How may one find it easily and certainly, without great costs, toil, and labor, and use it, to the honor of God and to the blessed service of his suffering, poor neighbor?

"This body of work was inspired by Sophie Bashford’s book You Are a Goddess. In this book you are beautifully guided back to your feminine essence. As I immersed myself in the energy of each goddess, I found myself journeying ever deeper into their wisdom and presence. Each encounter opened a doorway to profound healing, inner transformation, and moments that felt nothing short of miraculous."

"The year was 317 CE, and the Eastern Jin court buzzed with the constant anxiety of a dynasty barely holding together. In his modest quarters within the capital, Ge Hong set down his brush and stared at the half-finished manuscript before him. At thirty-four, he had already served the court faithfully in both civilian and military capacities, helping suppress rebellions that threatened to tear apart what remained of Chinese unity after the fall of the Western Jin."

"An epic transformation manifests from a seemingly routine interview. As time elongates, a failed everyman finds himself tormented while working through pages and pages of questions. He battles the unknown, plunging deeper into isolation, ultimately transcending into a heightened reality, discovering a new life between multiple worlds, familiar and otherworldly."

"During the 16th and 17th centuries, mystics and Rosicrucian adepts used the enigmatic language of alchemical symbols to reveal the secrets of nature to those who sought a deeper understanding of the cosmos both within and outside of themselves. Great minds like Robert Fludd, Robert Boyle, Benjamin Franklin, and Isaac Newton did not call themselves scientists but rather natural philosophers--those who sought to reveal the secrets of nature through their own connection with Cosmic laws and principles. Often described as the precursor to modern chemistry, alchemy was much more than a literal search for converting base metal into gold; nor was it simply a means of reducing plant matter into medicinal elixirs and tinctures. In this workshop with Ingrid Young, discover the meaning of such symbols as the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of Life, and the AZOTH. Uncover the meaning of phrases such as Ora et Labora, the Great Work, and "the rubification of the soul." Learn why alchemy was once considered a sacred path that had to be kept hidden from the curious, why later scientists scoffed at its value, and how today, we have embraced a greater mystical understanding of what was once considered the secret art."
