Bioalchemy: On the Transformative Belonging of Nature, Humans, and Soul - Paperback

by Adrian Villasenor-Galarza (Author)

Bioalchemy is a personal yet universal exploration informed by the ecological challenges and evolutionary opportunities of our time.

Using the Western alchemical tradition as main inspiration, the book explores the transformative potential of our planetary moment by means of cultivating three interrelated dimensions: Self-discovery, reconnection to nature, and sustainable action. These dimensions aid in recognizing the inherent potentials of reconnecting with a life filled with the nourishing presence of soul.

Bioalchemy suggests that composting the pervasive exclusivity of dualistic thinking opens the portal of belonging and the gold-like potentials of consciously participating in nature's mysteries."This is a gem of a book! Like the philosopher's stone or the vital elixir of the alchemical traditions from which it draws, Bioalchemy can catalyze the reader into a more full and creative participation with the enchanted and living Earth it celebrates. Villasenor-Galarza's is an insightful and poetic voice in the emerging field of integral ecologies, and Bioalchemy will be well received by those seeking inspiration at the intersections of religion, ecology, and consciousness studies."-- Sean Kelly, PhD Professor of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness, California Institute of Integral Studies
