Program accomplishments

  • Artisanal Agriculture Within the scope of the Artisanal Agriculture program was developed a symposium on 21st Century Alchemy and the New Renaissance of Science, for which 12 international speakers were invited and the offerings included 15 sessions and 3 Q & A panels. This was attended by 250 participants who offered exceptional feedback expressing enthusiasm for building bridges between ancient alchemical practices and modern natural science. Another popular series of lectures called the New Adam focused on awakening with compassion in the soul of the other and building community through understanding the relationship between minerals and plants. The potential of essential oils for harmonizing the bodys sensory processes and the use of gem powders for soil health were two of the aspects covered. This event gathered 100 participants with the promise of many more in the future who will access the online recordings.
