An “Introduction to Alchemy” class took place during the 2020 fall semester at the C.G. Jung Institute of New York, in which we undertook the study of that obscure art in the midst of the pandemic, while this country, and most of the rest of the world, were submerged in what the alchemists might have

They formed a learning community, but it wasn’t just academic.
