- **Event Description**: Join us as  modern alchemist and artist Eliza Swann discusses alchemy as a hands-on practice of transformation. Pack a lunch!About this Event"The Alchemical Imagination: Alchemy and Radical Creativity" is a 45-minute talk by modern alchemist and artist Eliza Swann on alchemy as a hands-on practice of transformation — of matter, perception, and the worlds we build together. Moving beyond myth and metaphor, Swann explores alchemy as a creative discipline rooted in responsibility, renewal, and revolutionary possibility. This talk asks what alchemy can offer us as we face ecological collapse, move through grief, and insist on new forms of living. Alongside vivid stories of historical alchemists, Swann centers poet and activist Diane di Prima as a key contemporary case study, tracing in her work the meeting point of alchemy, art, and revolutionary imagination. Open to all levels of experience with alchemy, "The Alchemical Imagination" invites audiences into an accessible and inspiring rethinking of alchemy as a necessary practice for collective change and creative renewal.Swann's book,"The Alchemical Imagination," is the first book of its kind to address the ancient subject of alchemy through the lens of contemporary creativity.Learn more about it here!Eliza Swann is an interdisciplinary artist, intuitive, writer, and educator based in New York. They are the author of The Anatomy of the Aura, which bestselling author Yumi Sakugawa called “beautiful and life-affirming,” and the founder of the Golden Dome School, an alternative school that explores the mystical dimensions of art.Learn more about Eliza here.This talk is free!All are welcome!

The Library tries to do as little as possible since we are in Big Sur a place very well suited for doing nothing. It turns out to be difficult however because Henry Miller is egging us on to promote the things he believes make life worth living like good conversation, freedom of thought, good food, sex and art in all its forms; old, new, weird and varied!
