I have known Yasmeen for years as a friend and a healer. This podcast is a reflection of her offering the gifts of healing, awareness, and consciousness to her audience which I predict will continue to grow. These conversations feature some of the most talented and dedicated practitioners in the field energy, healing, and conscious awareness, all of whom bring a sincere desire to help us all navigate this odd and challenging time in our history. Her content is relevant, her guests are wonderful and talented agents of positive change, and I look forward to seeing what talent and content she'll bring to us in the future. I would recommend Gateways to anyone interested in truly exploring themselves and the world we live in. Hats off Yasmeen. Very well done. - Michael

Why alchemy matters in the human experience with Nick Grossenbacher 

In today’s episode, I speak with Nick Grossenbacher, who first encountered and became enamored with the subject of alchemy more than 15 years ago while working on a PhD in late classical and medieval Middle Eastern history. Not content with a purely scholarly approach, Nick set up a home laboratory to replicate processes described in medieval Arabic and Syriac texts. His passion for alchemy deepened through his studies with teacher Robert Bartlett, leading him to explore global alchemical traditions.

Nick's journey took a practical turn when he collaborated with a naturopathic clinic, developing custom formulas for patients with acute skin issues. This work inspired him to create a company focused on alchemical wellness products, particularly topicals. At the onset of the pandemic, Nick left his teaching career to start Rare Earth Alchemy, where he now fulfills his dream of conducting daily work in a fully equipped alchemical research and production lab.

We talk about the following and so much more:
✅Defining Alchemy: Understand what alchemy is and its significance today.
