Description:
Tour Sacred Spaces' 2012 "Temple of Alchemy" - Learn the science & explore the role of mysticism & metaphor in the language of alchemical principles.Temple curator Rio Gordon writes:"An exploration through the various heretical, metallurgic, Kabbalistic, numerological, and zodiacal principles of the "science" of Alchemy is given in this presentation. Also explored is the role of mysticism and metaphor in the language of alchemical principles, wherein these descriptions are an allegory for spiritual human transformation as described by C.G. Jung and others. The development of images, art forms, and physical scientific practices is noted, as is the impact of this mystical practice on fields as diverse as medicine, chemistry, and meditation. Please join us for this deep look at alchemy as an idea, an act of art making, and a rebellious act of defiance."
