How can we utilize the synergy of a coherent field as a launch pad into our higher creative capacities? This art-portal-playshop began with a sacred tea ceremony and orientation to the alchemical practice of “Life As Art”. With a room full of 16 willing participants, we underwent a whole day playshop into the Sol Alchemy Portal. This ritual of music as medicine, of art as alchemy, and of prayer through presence, we cried, we laughed, and we uncovered a gateway to the Synarchy.
