Special Guest Lecturer and noted author BRIAN COTNOIR

Author of The Weiser Concise Guide to Alchemy

Will be presenting a lecture on

alchemy and the Ascent of the Soul

OPEN EVENT

4:00-6:00 PM

In Constantinople June 617AD, Stephanos of Alexandra finished writing a
series of lectures called the Art of Gold-making. This work is the
synthesis of alchemy to that time and a synopsis of what was transmitted
to the Arabs and on to the West. By examining excerpts from this work,
we will see the broad outlines of Byzantine alchemy with its more overt
spiritual emphasis — alchemy as the ascent of the soul.

In today's talk this idea of the ascent of the soul will be explored
from a variety of perspectives and traditions. Please join noted author
and practicing alchemist Brian Cotnoir, as he surveys the techniques and
methods used by alchemists throughout history in their search for
enlightenment and spiritual transformation.
