In the yearly cycle the events of Holy Week can be the source of profound meditations on the relationship between pain and suffering on one hand and joy and gratitude on the other. Using indications from the work of Emil Bock on the daily events of Holy Week as a foundation, this workshop is composed of meditative pictures from alchemical sources of the planetary forces that serve as backdrop for the Christ drama. The focus of the work is to explore alchemical imagery that is in harmony with the Easter celebration of the victory of life over death.

I hope I understand what retort etc. means but without seeing it I doubt it. I know there is no visual and will be happy and work with what is available. Thank you making this available.
Hi Charlene,
A “retort” is used in lab work to distill substances. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retort
It looks similar to “a” in the handout, containing the plants.

Thank you Ben for all your efforts. I am really enjoying the lectures and have learned a lot.
Hello Everyone, I have just singed up for emails.
Is the email version thr same as recording?
Also is that the right place to place questions/comments for this year Holy Week?
Kindly, Agnieszka
Hi Agnieszka,
The emails include some extra content that help contextualize the lectures, but link to posts on the website that are a transcription of the audio.
Yes, you may leave comments and questions here.
Warmly,
Ben
Dear friends from the holy week, I have a question about the emergence of the divine feminine. When Dennis says about the divine feminine moving from west to east. A long ago in a Lakota gathering I attended, the elders spoke of the four winds, and the keepers of the four directions. Something about the east having lost the ability to keep the eastern traditio n. This was a while back, and in one of the holy days it is mentioned about the divine feminine coming to the east. Feel free to share any insights, thank you.
Good afternoon, I did this last year ,I got the email for engaging this year. I clicked on the button for participating this year and to receive the emails. I want to make sure I get the emails, thank you.
Dear Ben,
Warmest thanks for this amazing process from me here in south Australia. A very big thank you to Dennis and for your part in making the Alchemy of Holy Week available. It is such a gift.
I need help with one aspect. I entirely think it is me not registering but I kind of lost track of which alchemical symbol to take into sleep and which part of Valentin Weigel’s Alchemical Tree of Good and Evil to relate to the next morning – I think after Wednesday of Holy Week. Would it be at all possible to clarify that for me?
With much appreciation for Dennis and yourself. Anne
Dear Anne,
Thank you for your kind words. It’s our pleasure to offer this in the hopes that is helps us all build a deeper relationship with our future potential.
I have created a handout that should help those seeking to work more closely with the exercises. Find that here: https://dennisklocek.s3.amazonaws.com/Alchemy-of-holy-week/Alchemy-of-Holy-Week-Exercise-Handout.pdf
