This month’s theme is ‘Making Magic, the essence of Alchemy’. An important question is ‘what is magic?’ According to the Oxford English dictionary it is “the power of influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces… Alchemy is concerned with the transformation of matter, in particular base metals into gold.

The spiritual road is all about finding our own magic, and alchemising ourselves; finding our inner gold or essential soulfulness. Part of this process involves working with our unconscious selves, our shadows, that part of us that we ignore.

Carl Jung sums this whole process up with a wonderful quote, inspiring in its simplicity.

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular.”

In this webinar John will explore ritual, prayer and some simple herbal medicine to tap into our unconscious with a spirit of creative joy and openness.

TIMES: Thursday 30th January at 4 pm -5:15 pm South African time (Cape Town); 2 pm - 3:15 pm UK time (London); at 9 am - 10:15 am Eastern time (New York); 6 am - 7:15 am Pacific time (Seattle); 7 am - 8:15 am Mountain time (Boulder).

Each Webinar starts with a guided meditation, some chanting and an invocation in isiXhosa to lift the energy.

John will give a 20 min talk to introduce this month’s theme. People can then ask questions. If there is time we will carry on with our ‘Dream circle’ where people will have an opportunity to share their dreams with the group.
