International Alchemy Conference

Don Miguel Ruiz is a shamanic alchemist who advocates personal freedom from agreements and beliefs that we have made with ourselves and others that are creating limitation and unhappiness in our lives. Ultimately, it is about finding one's own integrity, self-love, and peace through right use of the Four Agreements: "Be Impeccable With Your Word;" "Don't Take Anything Personally;" "Don't Make Assumptions;" and "Always Do Your Best." Ruiz work supports the legend of Atlantis and shows that the sun entered its sixth age in 1992, which should lead to a new age for humanity. Also presenting is his son Don Jose Ruiz.

Dr. Masaru Emoto reviews his latest research into the amazing ability of water to "change its expression" in response to human thoughts and emotions. His work has reaffirmed the alchemists' belief that water is alive and challenges the way water is abused globally, stripped of the sacredness that indigenous cultures across the world have always attributed to water. Dr. Emoto acknowledges his role as a “messenger” with the mission of going throughout the world to raise the level of awareness concerning water and heal the earth’s water. His groundbreaking work changed most of what we thought about water and has led to a new consciousness of earth's most precious resource. The implications of his research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal health.

TOAIST INTERNAL ALCHEMY

Master Mantak Chia shares the secrets of Taoist alchemy. Through learning to nurture and heal oneself a solid foundation is laid for the realization of one's spiritual potential. By re-establishing a direct connection with the natural energies surrounding us, the subtle awareness necessary for spiritual progress arises spontaneously. Ultimately, the boundaries of the physical body are transcended by the development of the soul and spirit bodies. Though self-healing, the healer is born. Once the energy channels, or meridians, of the body have been opened and the energies of the internal organs harmonized, this unique integrated energy becomes available to heal others. Then, by opening and connecting to the sources of energy around us in Nature and the Universe beyond, boundless healing power becomes available for the benefit of all.

TRANSFIGURATION ICONS

In this profoundly illustrated presentation, investigative mythologist and author, William Henry, presents a one-of-a-kind collection of Transfiguration icons from the ancient and modern world. He reveals the secrets of the Philosopher's Stone, alchemical symbolism, and soul alchemy that is encoded in some of the world's most mysterious paintings. He takes us deep into this lost 'soul alchemy' to reveal the alchemical symbolism and instruction contained within this imagery and how it can transform us. The alchemist's quest for the Philosopher's Stone begins with the realization that everything can be transformed or transmuted. Thoughts can become things. Lead can become gold. A human can become a star. This alchemical mind-set was adopted by the icon makers, especially of the 14th-17th century. An icon is a sacred image that is believed to be charged with spiritual power. In particular, icons of Transfiguration or Metamorphosis were considered two-way channels of transformative energy. They are sacred mirrors and gateways to other realms.

The ALCHEMY of HARRY POTTER

What is the secret of the most popular book ever published? Hans Andréa is convinced that hidden under the magic, mystery and excitement of the series there is a profound and powerful spiritual symbolism that resonates with the archetypes of the collective unconscious of many millions - especially children - all over the world. This symbolism carries the one timeless and universal message: liberation from evil, suffering, and death. It is the same message as that brought by enlightened people like the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Jesus, and Hermes Trismegistus. Hans will show that Harry Potter has a remarkable number of similarities to the alchemical masterwork The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosycross (published in 1616). In addition, he will show that Harry Potter is saturated with alchemical symbols, some obvious, such as the "Philosopher’s Stone," some cleverly disguised. This is not surprising, given JK Rowling admission that "I've never wanted to be a witch, but an alchemist, now that's a different matter. To invent this wizard world, I've learned a ridiculous amount about alchemy." In the second half of his lecture Hans will summarise the actual message of alchemy from a Rosicrucian point of view, and show how Harry Potter conveys this message in an extremely powerful way. It is not essential to have read the whole Harry Potter septology to be able to follow the lecture, but Hans does recommend reading The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosycross, which can be found at http://harrypotterforseekers.com/articles/wedding1.php.

REVOLUTIONARY NEW SCIENCE: The NATURE of SPIN

Nassim Haramein has engaged in a lifelong exploration into the geometry of space-time that has lead to a coherent understanding of the fundamental structure and model of our Universe and of out existence in it. In this extraordinary presentation, Nassim will take you on a fantastic journey through the history of humanity’s evolution, all along reflecting on the changes necessary to produce a true view of Unification – one that unifies not only the four forces of nature, but also biological evolution and the occurrence of consciousness. Astonishingly, Nassim also demonstrates that this new all-encompassing theory seems to have parallels with ancient codes left in documents and colossal monuments around the world. As the tale weaves between the sciences of physics, chemistry, and biology, and then to the wisdom and codes of the ancients, an exciting picture develops – which may prove to one of the most important scientific, philosophical, and technological discoveries of our time. Nassim Haramein has been giving lectures and seminars around the world on his unification theories for over 20 years. His layman lectures are designed around his life experiences, beginning with childhood illuminations and culminating in the discovery of a Unification view that came as the result of decoding various ancient texts and monuments. Nassim has also given technical lectures to many physics departments of some of the largest institutions in the world with great success and he has published technical papers that are transforming the foundations of physics and bringing us across the event horizon to a new cycle of existence.

GLOBAL ALCHEMY and OUR INTER-DEPENDENT DESTINY

Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis takes a global view of the power of alchemy in this powerful presentation. Because “alchemy” is generally defined as the art of transformation and the process through which one embraces the primordial principles of individual and collective change, today, it is essential to address the alchemy of human transformation. History shows that this is a dynamic and ever evolving ‘spiral’ of material and spiritual transformations, whereby their outcomes are the result of inter-connected layers of human, natural and spiritual states of being (e.g., wisdom, memory, intelligence, vision, intent, symbols, behavior, effort, compassion and inner power.) These are self-realized through a dialectic process of individual, collective and universal forms of human interactions. It is material and spiritual. It is human and social. It is particular and universal. It is all encompassing. It is One. This is the reason why it has become relevant to address what nurtures the transformational forces and alchemy of economics, business and public policy. Experience demonstrates that the alchemy associated to those processes is individualistic and egotistic in nature with a strong universal character (globalized). These patterns of material alchemy –embedded in notions of material scarcity in the satisfaction of human needs-- must be changed, and a new alchemy must emerge. This is to be nurtured by higher levels of collective consciousness and by a greater awareness of our power of interdependence: human interdependence, nature’s interdependence, and spiritual interdependence. These form the trilogy of The New Alchemy, which enables us to create a human destiny with less poverty, environmental destruction, war and conflict and human insecurity. Furthermore, most of the attention must be on the union of body, mind and spirit with a special emphasis on the sacredness of our body geometry. There is a global alchemy emerging to enable a global being to rise from the ashes of individualism.

The ALCHEMY of TRANSFORMATION BETWEEN NOW and 2012

Michelle Karén presents an astrological interpretation of the end of the Great Year (the procession of the equinoxes) in this fascinating lecture. The process of turning lead into gold symbolically applies to the shifts humanity is going through between now and the end of the Mayan Calendar on 12.21.2012. As we transmute our denser realities into gold, our consciousness is transformed, leading to the creation of a whole new world.

HOW ALCHEMISTS ACHIEVE TRANSFORMATION

Dennis William Hauck reveals the specific methods and secret operations used by alchemists to accomplish their transformations. These universal operations apply on all three levels of reality (the physical, the mental, and the spiritual). In fact, the alchemists believed that no transformation was permanent unless it occurred simultaneously on all three levels. The alchemists tried not only to transform physical substances but also rejuvenate their bodies, integrate their personalities, and perfect the very essence of their souls. For them, consciousness was a force of nature, and they believed they alter physical reality by purifying their consciousness and becoming one with their experiment. It is a unified view of the universe that modern science is only just beginning to accept. A practicing alchemist, Dennis took his apprenticeship in alchemy in Vienna, and has since written several bestselling books on the subject. In this lecture, he traces the process of transformation through the three phases of the Work (the Black, White, and Red phases) and shows how each stage has its own goals, procedures, and conclusion. The Great Work of alchemy followed a secret formula of repeated operations performed on different levels that culminated in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. The essence of this magical touchstone was the alchemist's own purified and empowered consciousness. That slow and deliberate process of perfection is the subject of this presentation. Dennis will also be giving a Workshop on Spiritual Alchemy.

JOY - The TRUE PHILOSPHER'S STONE

Gudni Gudnason will reveal the concepts of the Kabbalah that raise the fundamental vibration within the human soul, and bring it through the transformations of the alchemical phases of Nigredo (Black Phase) to Rubedo (Red Phase) to help us harness and complete the perfection of Adam Kadmon. In the ancient texts, Kabbalah is described as the “Mind of the Great Work” or the “Mind of God.” These are the essential teachings that make the Philosophers Stone work and help each of us become the “Adam Kadmon,” the perfected being who can return the human race to the Garden of Eden.

With special guest Master of Ceremonies, DreamingBear (often referred to as the "Shakespeare of the 21st Century.")

Robert Allen Bartlett presents a brief look at the history and principles of Indian alchemy and its relation to the Western Alchemical Tradition. This is followed with a more detailed examination of the practical methods for creating mineral and metallic medicines successfully in use today but with a 5000 year old tradition. A photo tour illustrates the methods, materials and procedures for the preparation of several types of Metallic Bhasma, a time honored process applicable to most mineral and metallic substances. Robert will also be giving a Workshop on Practical Alchemy.

Barry Carter presents his current research into monatomic elements during the ORMUS Workshop Part 1. Many of the mysterious and magical things recorded in history, such as the Biblical manna, the Philosopher’s Stone, the Fountain of Youth, Orgone energy, prana, chi, and the Holy Grail, seem to be describing a real substance that exhibits magical properties. It looks like these descriptions could be related to a new class of materials that have been identified and described in the last few decades. In the late 1970s. an Arizona farmer named David Hudson noticed some very strange materials as he was doing some gold mining on his land. Hudson spent several million dollars over the following decade figuring out how to obtain and work with these strange materials, which came to be known as monatomic (or "m-state") elements. In 1989 David Hudson was granted patents on these materials and methods for obtaining them. Other researchers were also making similar discoveries. All of these m-state elements are quite abundant in seawater. They also seem to be present in most rock, fresh water and in the air. These m-state elements have been observed to exhibit the quantum physical behaviors of superconductivity, superfluidity, Josephson tunneling, magnetic levitation, and there is evidence they are associated with "dark matter" or the First Matter of the alchemists. It looks like they are an entirely new class of materials. It appears that this state of certain of these elements has been known throughout history. Several of the procedures for extracting or making ORMUS have been adapted from ancient alchemical texts, and the Philosopher's Stone and the Biblical manna may be variations on this state of matter.

Don Nance presents an in-depth workshop through the actual processes involved in making the white powder of gold, which is also known as M-state or ORMUS elements. The lecture will cover methods of producing ORMUS by the Wet Method, the Dry Method, the Sodium Burn process, and by the wet chemistry method. Don will present his material in on practical methods of accumulating and working with monatomic materials in the ORMUS Workshop Part 2.

Alchemy has truly come of age through fusion with modern technology. According to neuroscientist Don Estes, this magical blend of the old and new has propelled the art to a whole new level and greater understanding of the harmonic laws involved in its operation. The principle goal of alchemy is transformation via manifestation of intention, and the chance that materialization will actually occur is directly proportional to the quality of expression. A formal algorithm is a computerized set of instructions that expresses an intention in a distinct and unambiguous way. This symbolic language is a modern extension of the runes used in ancient times to form magic spells. The algorithm of spectral transformation perfectly describes the process of ascension to the highest level of order. Following these instructions results in the resolution of the difference between actual and potential and provides all of the resources necessary to complete the journey. This technique can be utilized to transform human beings by requiring them to become the agent of their own reassembly. Research into these principles has led to the development of cutting edge technologies based on world-class supercomputers, proprietary algorithms, vibrational biofeedback systems and harmonic support concentrates. This is new information you cannot afford to miss!

This presentation by Sonya Sophia Illig is a hands-on experience including practical demonstrations, followed by an alchemical activation of the group wisdom body. You will have an intimate opportunity for a transformational personal experience using the power of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Audience members can prepare for the event by viewing the video at http:// www.emofree.com/freevideos.aspx. EFT helps your body’s energy lines fully conduct their innate electrical current, upgrading your brain’s ability to authentically accept and love what is. EFT is the physical practice of love, acceptance and forgiveness which transmutes fear, pain and limitations. Results of practicing this meridian based, body-mind-spirit healing technique are empowering and permanent. Loving and deeply accepting one’s self, even for a moment, unveils the energy of true compassion and generates the alchemical ingredient of empathy. As empathy is experienced, judgments and fears about self and others are spontaneously transformed along with the physical counterparts of those emotions. The practice of EFT applied to any base state of being, changes the reality experienced in a positive and golden direction. Keen insights, increased creativity, and restored physical health are common side-effects of this form of alchemical epigenetic medicine. New levels of physical and psychological well-being, clarity of vision, deep abiding peace, purification of the ego personality self, and a direct loving activation of your soul’s divine purpose are all made accessible. You will be experimenting with EFT in the crucible your own body while learning the basics of creating ‘miraculous’ healings and potent manifestations for yourself, for others and for the collective consciousness. EFT is a well known, highly beneficial, energetic healing arts tool, useful for rapidly healing of all manner of issues including: depression, anxiety, insomnia, infections, allergies, PTSD, addictions, phobias, chronic illness, relationship issues, sexual abuse, child abuse, financial issues, and physical or emotional pain of any variety. Try it on everything! EFT is a fast-forward button for personal evolution and artful ‘thrival’ through the changing times.

Dr. Thom Cavalli takes a look at the deeper energies involved in alchemy in this fascinating presentation on the one and many faces of the archetypal alchemical myth. In every major alchemical epoch, we find a major deity who presides over the Work, inspires the adept and even enters the vessel as the necessary spiritual catalyst. In ancient Egypt, there were the neteru, gods, like Thoth, Osiris, Isis, Seth and Anubis who provided the heka (magic) to effect major transformations. Their myth reads like an alchemical recipe. With the fall of the Egyptian empire, philosophers went to Alexandria to learn the Art. Among the teachings they acquired are the thirteen alchemical formulas contained in Hermes Trismegistus’ Emerald Tablet. As the Greeks rose to prominence, their mythology absorbed the Egyptian gods through a process of syncretism. Thoth became Hermes and other Greek gods took on the powers of their ancestral spirits. Like Hermes, Prometheus is a thief who steals fire from the gods so that the alchemist’s ovens continue to burn brightly in the night. Hephaestus is crippled as he works at the forge, his secrets secured. Zeus replaces Re, Dionysis, Osiris. Then, like a blazing phoenix arising from the flames, Mercurius appears. More than the previous gods, Mercurius, the Latin version of Hermes, is an alchemical god of the mind, a divine trickster. In this seminar, we ask whether this god is truly different from all the others or an avatar that is one face among many who came before him? Do these gods collectively represent the emergence of a divine, alchemical archetype? As we study each of these numinous deities we will be asking many more questions that are important to all practitioners of the Work. Why does the Art require any god at all? How do these gods function in our work? What are the dark sides of these gods? Do they merely exist in our mind or are they found in our substances and operations? Are the gods immortal or must their powers be periodically rejuvenated? How might we pay them homage? One alchemical recipe states emphatically, “Without God, no man nor woman is Great.” Unlike our ancestors we do not accept gods at face value. By asking these questions and recalling the rich mythology of the alchemical gods, we hope to receive sacred knowledge that will bring forth the divine ingredient that informs our work and infuses our lives with great, transcendent value.

Paul Bartscher and Micah Nilsson present the alchemist's view of Nature in this riveting lecture. Modern science and philosophy draws a line through Nature’s creation: on one side is the human realm of spirited and ensouled beings, while across the divide lives everything else in a state of purely physical existence. But this was not always the way we looked at the world, and it doesn’t have to be our worldview now, especially as we begin to realize the price that our environment pays for a philosophy that holds most of the world to be inert and unintelligent. Alchemical and Spagyric philosophy is rooted in a time when all of Nature was understood to contain body, spirit, and soul just as we do, from the active world of animals down through plants and even to the quieter mineral kingdom. All that Nature created was seen as ensouled, alive, aware, and intelligent; in the plant realm, this intelligence was understood as the true source of healing. Join me as I discuss the three levels of being in plants from both an historical and personal perspective, drawing on my studies of Hermetic and alchemical philosophy and my own work as a gardener, herbalist, and spagyric practitioner. Alchemy and Spagyrics offer powerful ways of connecting with our forgotten Western lineage of vitalist and magical connection to nature, as well as giving us ways of moving that lineage forward into a re-enchantment of matter itself.

Physicist Theresa Ibis, Ph.D., takes a modern view of alchemy in this fascinating presentation. Does Alchemy have a place in today’s world? Is it relevant to modern life? And if so, what does 21^st Century Alchemy look like? Today we are at a critical time when scientific advancement has exceeded its moral underpinnings, and in order to move forward in a more balanced way we must reunite science with an understanding of the subtle and spiritual sides of life. This re-union has already started to happen through the New Science and the Science of Consciousness movements that are citing Quantum Phenomena such as the “Observer Effect” and the “Power of Intention” as a way to influence the physical outcome of things. But, what really is the “Observer Effect”? How does it work? And how can we use it? Alchemy holds the keys to not only this understanding but also practical methods whereby we can harness consciousness itself to influence the material world, all the way down to the quantum level. In this presentation, Dr. Theresa Ibis will help you more easily understand the basic foundations of Quantum Physics and the Standard Model that is the backbone of today’s science. She will additionally reveal how Ancient Alchemical models correlate with today’s scientific models of the Universe. With this knowledge, we are able to draw new insights for truly understanding how to harness consciousness in order to affect transformations at the quantum level. Join Dr. Theresa Ibis as she updates how we define and utilize Alchemy in the 21^st Century.

Biochemist and spiritual alchemist Dr. Pradheep Chhalliyil will talk about the alchemy of the soul from the Vedic perspective. Very commonly, Soul is misunderstood as something that is lodged in a body. A very rational and self inquiring methodology will be presented that will help to clear many spiritual terminologies and the purpose behind not only Vedic rituals but of any cultural tradition. Knowing the universal “Truth” , it can be make sense for all spiritual traditions of the world. This will remove both inner and external conflicts. Pradheep will focus on understanding how one can apply spirituality for the materialistic and spiritual progress in life. What is that prevents us to realize our full potential and how could one easily achieve success. The information provided will make sense and not conflict with any spiritual tradition. The alchemical formula for materialistic and spiritual success will be discussed.

Practicing alchemist Daniel Coaten will show a detailed step by step photo diary of alchemical experiments he has conducted in his laboratory in Iceland. In this lecture, examples will be shown on his research into the production of Gur or Seed of Nature; a white to brown cotton like substance obtained via the putrefaction of water, which is said to contain the seeds of life for all three Kingdoms of Nature (i.e. Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral). Specifically Gur which was obtained via herbal distillates from a selection of plant species was observed. A variety of waters were tested, which were collected from Iceland (spring, rain, snow, and sea), and the method of production was studied, as well as the addition of other alchemical materials. This was done to determine which of these would be most suitable to help aid in accelerating the growth and evolution of the plant Gur. The example of Melissa officinalis (Lemon Balm) was then used with the favoured techniques and materials to try to produce, and then evolve the Gur of this herb. In relation to these experiments the use of a “lightning still” and the process of “electro-distillation” will be discussed, as well as the 4x3x4 fractional distillation technique - a technique adapted from “The Golden Chain of Homer”, and the production of Angel Water via the use of a customised glass Kerotakis.

Have you heard about the Emerald Tablet or Tabula Smaragdina? Do you want to learn more? If you have not heard about this legendary treasure, are you open to the message it contains for our time and your life? If so, this presentation by Duane Saari is designed to take you down the path The Tablet beckons you to follow. Whether or not you continue is up to you. However, you will hear the history of this fabled artifact of alchemy, leave with a translation of its mysterious message, and learn about the transformative processes it reveals. The Emerald Tablet was reputed by ancient historians to have been put on display in Egypt by Alexander the Great after he returned from the oracle at Siwa and then lost to history. However, the life transforming message of this artifact lives on in translations that come down to us today. In this presentation, participants will learn what key translations of the Emerald Tablet reveal and use them to decipher its timeless message. The relevance of this message to our lives will be discussed and a comparison of the Emerald Tablet to other transformative processes such as the one described in the world wide phenomenon: The Secret will be offered. The Tablet’s message is described in a seven step formula that can be applied to ourselves or to our world wherever change is required or already happening. We will review this formula, learn about a translation of the seven steps of the formula into a set of transformative tools for use in our daily lives, and be introduced to the key process, an Eighth Step – Continuous Creative Renewal – that makes this powerful process available for changing and transforming our lives in these challenging times. After the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to make arrangements for one of a limited number of free half hour consultations during the conference to practice applying this approach to change in their lives.

This live demonstration and lecture by Gary Stadler, working renditions of glassware used by Medieval alchemists as well as modern variations on the equipment will be featured. One of the distillers presented is the famous “Pelican,” which is a circulatory distillation vessel with two side-arms feeding condensed vapors back into the body. It resembles the mythic pelican pecking at its breast to feed its hatchlings with its own blood, and thus is a symbol of the sacrifice the original solution goes through to give up its essence in the experiment. The alchemists believed that compounds could be created in the Pelican that no other apparatus could produce. Also featured will be original distillers designed by Gary for use in essential oil and hydrosol production. His vertical distillers are specifically designed for easy steam extraction of essential oils from plant materials and are extremely popular among practicing alchemists around the world.

Dennis William Hauck will offer an intensive workshop on the techniques and goals of spiritual alchemy. The workshop focuses on genuine methods practiced by Egyptian and medieval alchemists -- ancient methods of transformation that you can apply to your own life and work. Learn to work in the Inner Fire with the metals within to change your personal “temperament” from lead to gold. Enter the sacred space of the inner laboratory to create the Philosopher’s Stone, an incorruptible state of consciousness the alchemists used to explore and work on different levels of reality. This experiential, multimedia workshop includes demonstrations of actual spiritual labware and free symbolic tools to take home. The three-hour workshop will be held in two parts in a private room with seating limited to 50 people. Sign up for Spiritual Alchemy Workshop.

During the conference, formal instruction in basic and advanced techniques of spagyrics will be offered by Robert Allen Bartlett, former chief chemist at Paralab, the commercial offshoot of Paracelsus College, SLC, UT. Spagyrics (spa-gîr-iks) is a Greek word meaning to separate and recombine. Spagyrics was the basis of Paracelsus’ work, and he is often considered its father. The spagyric process is a three-fold process of separation, purification, and cohobation (reunion of the purified parts). During the process, the essences of the substance are exposed and reborn under planetary influences. The spagyric product is considered to be at a higher level of potency able to effect not only the physical body but also the underlying or spiritual cause of disease. The three-hour workshop will be held in two parts in a private room with seating limited to 50 people. Sign Up for Practical Alchemy Workshop.

The Sexual Alchemy Workshop is led by Master Mantak Chia. Through learning to nurture and heal oneself a solid foundation is laid for the realization of one's spiritual potential.

SPECIAL EVENTS

The GOLDEN PYRAMID of PEACE

Golden Pyramid of Peace This remarkable structure (see artist's rendition at left) is being built in Japan at the moment. It's called the "Golden Pyramid of Peace" and will start touring the world, next year, with a mission of shining light on peace and those promoting peace and positive transformation. The Modern Mystery School, the sponsors of this project, have contacted Dr. Emoto, the office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, spiritual leaders, and others who have all expressed interest in being a part of this exciting project. We are honored to have a sneak preview of the Golden Pyramid of Peace at the Alchemy Conference in Los Angeles this fall!

Having been to various locations around the world, including Burning Man, the Adam Kadmon Activation Gate exhibit is now making a special appearance for the Alchemy Conference, as part of the Golden Pyramid of Peace and the Modern Mystery School exhibit. Walking through this Gate when it is activated fully illuminates your DNA and awakens your divine potential so that you can hold the Light that is pouring in from the Cosmic Realms to change humanity completely! We are evolving into a galactic human, and this activation is here to help us make such an evolutionary leap. Just imagine holding the full potential of Light, Energy and Power within your physical body at all times! Adam Kadmon is a Sanskrit and Kabbalistic term meaning the “perfected humans” or the “god-like many”. This is the gift you bring to yourself - a gift from Spirit - as you become the Adam Kadmon on Earth!

LIGHTENING TEMPLE

The Lightning Temple (click drawing at left for larger images) is a large interactive art installation that incorporates alternative-fuel power and wireless electricity within unique geometries to create a new type of theatre. The central core contains a nest of audio modulated Tesla coils in the place of traditional speakers to produce music, and a blown-glass display of electrical power. The temple is a collective vision of the next phase in evolution. Through a unique interweaving of ancient knowledge from past and present day modern technology, it seeks to expand our ideas of what is possible for the future. Created by a group of artists in collaboration, each element of its design and construction incorporates advanced concepts we see as models for future human development. One example of this is that we see a trend in modern times which blends the wisdom, values, and cohesiveness of past societies with the technological advents which afford us the freedom of movement and communication we experience in today's world. We have designed adventures through science, rhythm, music and frequency patterns that immerse the audience in playful interactive opportunities to learn and grow.

"YESTERDAY Was a LIE"

Writer/director James Kerwin will be doing a short presentation with Chase Masterson (who played Leeta in "Star Trek") and John Newton (who had a series role on "Melrose Place") after a free screening of his 90-minute scifi noir film "Yesterday Was a Lie." This groundbreaking film is a "fresh and stylish tale of intrigue and metaphysical darkness" (Ain't It Cool News) that "offers up a magnetic force with endless repeat value" (Film Threat) that teases the boundaries of reality. Kipleigh Brown "exudes Bacall" ("Slice of SciFi") as Hoyle, a girl with a sharp mind and a weakness for bourbon who finds herself on the trail of a reclusive genius (John Newton). But her work takes a series of unforeseen twists as events around her grow increasingly fragmented, disconnected, and surreal. With a sexy lounge singer (Chase Masterson) and a loyal partner (Mik Scriba) as her only allies, Hoyle is plunged into a dark world of intrigue and earth-shattering cosmological secrets. Haunted by an ever-present shadow (Peter Mayhew) whom she is destined to face, Hoyle discovers that the most powerful force in the universe — the power to bend reality, the power to know the truth — lies within the depths of the human heart. "Like 'Blade Runner' before it, 'Yesterday Was A Lie' manages to meld film noir and science fiction into a fresh new world unlike anything we've seen before" (iF Magazine).

Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis

Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis will be available for consultations in this room. Because “alchemy” is generally defined as the art of transformation and the process through which one embraces the primordial principles of individual and collective change, today, it is essential to address the alchemy of human transformation. The ever evolving ‘spiral’ of material and spiritual transformations, whereby their outcomes are the result of inter-connected layers of human, natural and spiritual states of being.
