Spiritual Alchemy Workshop

A Journey to the Source

with Dennis William Hauck
Alchemy is based on ancient Hermetic teachings that were
meant to be experienced directly in an initiatory environment.
True alchemy is not an intellectual pursuit nor a measure of
knowledge – it is a secret fire that ignites passion and inspiration
in all those who possess it. That fire can only be passed on in living
concepts grasped by both heart and mind to create a new state
of consciousness Egyptians called “Intelligence of the Heart.” This
process is part of the Underground Stream of perennial wisdom
that still flows in our modern era.
The most powerful rendering of the ancient wisdom is in the
intuitive writings, coded ciphers, and symbolic imagery of the
alchemists. Their practical approach to esoteric energies created
a powerful spiritual technology that combined introspection,
meditation, and prayer with laboratory demonstrations. Their
tireless efforts to unite soul and spirit – the inner and outer
worlds – exposed the deep connection between mind and matter
that science is just beginning to explore.
This three-day, intensive, multimedia workshop focuses on the advanced
teachings of alchemy. Using secret Hermetic techniques, the operations of
alchemy, iconic imagery, activated symbology, and guided meditations,
workshop participants will journey through the stages of purification and
empowerment that lead to the transpersonal source that is the Philosopher’s
Stone.
Tools include process handouts and charts, audio recordings, and a full-
color bound textbook of meditative drawings (The Mystery Traditions: Secret
Symbols and Sacred Art by James Wasserman). Selected eBooks will be sent
to participants to help them prepare for the workshop. Everyone will also
receive personalized graphs showing the relative power of the metals (planetary archetypes) in their astrological
signatures. This information will guide their work to transmute the inner metals into a more resilient golden temperament.
Dennis William Hauck is known for his ability to present these teachings in a way that comes alive in people. While
studying for his doctorate in mathematics at the University of Vienna, he completed a three-year apprenticeship in
alchemy and was later initiated into a variety of Hermetic traditions in Europe, Egypt, and the United States. He has since
translated several old manuscripts and authored a number of bestselling books on alchemy, including The Emerald Tablet:
Alchemy for Personal Transformation, The Secret of the Emerald Tablet, Sorcerer’s Stone: A Beginner’s Guide to Alchemy,
and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Alchemy.
