Alchemy often conjures images of medieval laboratories, bubbling flasks, and the quest for transforming base metals into gold. However, beyond its scientific roots lies a profound philosophical and spiritual tradition that seeks transformation at many levels. The simple principles of alchemy persist today, from science to technology, business to the arts, each of us are searching for transformational ways to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. In this fractious world, we desire alternative future possibilities, adapting the theme of 'alchemy' as a hopeful, symbolic anchor for the change that we want to see around us.
