"Alchemy is rooted in the Earth and the natural Regenerative Force that constantly creates and manifests Life. Alchemy is the force of transformation that is Life itself.

We experience alchemy through our interactions with each of the Five Elements - Earth, Air, Fire, water and Spirit - whose energy becomes fluid and mutable at the interface between Matter and Spirit.

To become an alchemist is to actively engage with transformation, to work with the Fertile Force of Nature to create new life from Union and co-operation.

Alchemy is firmly rooted in the interconnected Web of Life. The alchemist celebrates the richness of Life's diversity and each individual. It is a path of inclusion and wholeness, and ultimately an experience of the Gold of Oneness with all things."
