Overview
How the ancient tradition of alchemical transformation can affect the modern world
The unique approach to spiritual life and awakening offered in this groundbreaking work reveals how humanity’s spiritual practices can be a catalyst for global transformation. Delving into the inner world of archetypes and drawing on the ancient tradition of alchemy, this reflective guide emphasizes the inner spiritual light of each individual as part of the spiritual light of the world, and as a potent agent for global change.
