Alchemy Of The Natural World
Using the four elements theory, Dennis explores the alchemical relationships between natural forces and human consciousness. He takes us on a journey using the language of alchemy into the smallest interactions in the mineral world and then through the elements out into the cosmos, sharing imaginative exercises and practices for personal work to improve your perception of these forces. With this new vision, the true meaning of “turning lead into gold” becomes clear.

What if farming could be a spiritual path? What if the way we stir a preparation or plant a seed was inseparable from the way we think, imagine, and perceive? In this lecture, Dennis Klocek explores the meeting place of biodynamic practice and inner development, where the rhythms of earth and cosmos converge with human…
