In 1997, Thom Cavalli presented a lecture on transforming alchemical recipes into modern-day use.  This popular and Informative program eventually became the basis for his newly published book, Alchemical Psychology, Old Recipes for Living in a New World.  This year’s event will explore new developments since his last visit with us, guiding us through the psychological processes of transforming this age-old wisdom into contemporary practice.

 

The Alchemical recipe seeks to change the lead of the unconscious into the gold of an "illumined soul."  Alchemists purposefully imbedded this recipe—actually a secret process of transformation—into their complex, Symbolic formulas.  This lecture will provide some keys to unlock these mysteries so we may put their wisdom to practical use.
