Join local authors Lorie Dechar and Benjamin Fox for a discussion of their recent book, The Alchemy of Inner Work: A Guide for Turning Illness & Suffering into True Health & Well-Being. Alchemy is the science of transformation—how to change one thing into something else. In The Alchemy of Inner Work, Dechar and Fox examine how illness, suffering, and disease—the “lead” of our lives—can become the “gold” of our authentic selves, and the key to good health and well-being.

Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, Eastern and Western alchemical traditions, Kabbalah, and Jungian psychology—plus case studies from working with patients—the authors provide hands-on insights for bringing “the soul of medicine” back into our lives.

This event will be held outside on the lawn at the East Blue Hill Library.
