Easter Sunday
On the handout, go to figure 3 on the lower left. That’s an alchemical diagram of the relationship between what’s known as salt and sulfur. This relates to the idea of form and then sublimation. And so the Alchemist had a word for the way in which the invisible became visible. They would look at…
Holy Saturday
Today I will focus on Holy Saturday, and then the next session will focus on Easter Sunday, the resurrection. We could put a subtitle to this, which would be The Transformation of the Senses. That in my understanding is the central issue in the Rosicrucian work. The new mysteries are based on the transformation of…
Last Supper to Good Friday
Hopefully, the ‘Son of Man’ means more than it did before you came. We are talking about the future human. The one who betrays the future human will not be happy. “It would be better for him that he not be born.” This is about the betrayal of the son of man. Gospel reading: “While…
Thursday of Holy Week
On Thursday, they go to celebrate the Passover. They rent a room. Reading from the John gospel… “Jesus knew the hour had come for Him to leave this world and go to his Father…” When Judas decided to act, and Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus for his burial, that was the beginning of the Passion. At…
Wednesday of Holy Week
In this session, I will combine Wednesday and Thursday. We will focus on work and prayer. Work is in the lower right. That is the upward pointing triangle with the lightning bolts. Prayer is in the Star of David on the trunk of the tree with the starry realm around it and the zodiac symbols…
Tuesday of Holy Week
The theme is Tuesday of Holy Week. Monday is the cursing of the fig tree. Tuesday is when there is a kind of turning. Tuesday is Mars day. Mars is aggression. There is a war of words that Christ was having with the Pharisees because he was out in the countryside preaching. He was cutting…

The Heart of Communication: Tone, Trust, and Owning the Misunderstanding
This talk explores the heart of communication: learning to listen without “jamming” the other person, so real dialogue can happen. You will learn why tone carries more impact than content, and how trust rises or collapses based on the feeling underneath the words. Through practical tools like “owning the misunderstanding” (I-messages), avoiding blame-based “you-messages,” and using simple reset signals when conversations heat up, you will leave with a clear method for de-escalation and clarity. The evening includes a guided partner exercise that turns miscommunication into collaboration, even when ideas feel hard to name. Ideal for communities, couples, parents, and teams who want less conflict, more honesty, and a stronger container for shared life.
Alchemy, Biodynamics, and the Unknown: Cultivating Perception in a Living World
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…
The Phantom and the Electric Double: Imagination, Alchemy, and the Seed of Christ
In this talk, Dennis explores how the patterns in nature, art, and imagination can help us reconnect with a deeper part of ourselves, what he describes as a spiritual potential placed in the Earth by Christ, and how modern technology challenges our ability to stay grounded in what’s real and life-giving.
