The “Alchemy” Program
Address: Bad Ragaz, Switzerland
On the day of the restructuring of the Earth at the time of the spring equinox when the center of the Sun crosses the celestial equator, as the Earth spinning on its axis, receives the first portion of effort of the energy, that makes the count of the temporary space in which we live, we will submerge into the center of the alchemical thought of Europe, into the sacred geometry of a place where for four days we will go through the full cycle of the alchemical cuisine in all its beauty.
Laboratory of the Place
Bad Ragaz it is the place of the apparition of the Virgin, the center of the sacred geometry of the canton of St. Gallen. This is the place that has long been a center of Celtic mysteries and later it was extremely important to the Irish monks. Bad Ragaz also was particularly singled out by St. Jacob.
50 years before the beginning of the establishment of the foundations of the Swiss Confederation, monks of the Benedictine monastery in Pfäfers found the hot springs flowing from the treacherous loose rocks of Tamina gorge. The discovery of hot water in such abundance was a true miracle!
The waters were called “arkato” a Greek term, meaning “pure thermal water with a low mineral content”. The water sources appear in about 20 meters to the right of the Tamina River at an altitude of 639 meters above sea level. Their constant temperature is of 36,5°C. It's a natural outflow of ground water, which emerges from the catchment area of Todi (the highest mountain in the Northern Alps, 3614 meters high). Filtering through the crystalline sedimentary rocks in the region for nearly a decade, the water then appears in the Tamina gorge.
In his book “The Origin of Pfäfers sources in the Swiss mountains. On their integrity, strength and impact”, the eminent physician and scientist Paracelsus von Hohenheim justifies the therapeutic effects of the hot springs in Tamina gorge.
In 1868, after lengthy negotiations, the world-renowned Swiss architect Bernard Simon (1816—1900) won the municipality Ragaz and the canton St. Gallen and received a license to exploit the hot springs for 100 years.
Upon the granting of the license and the signing of the sales contract Simon promised to build here not only “a number of fine hotels, surrounded by beautiful gardens and wonderful parks”, but also fountains of drinking water, medical treatment hall and new showers for the start of the holiday season of 1870. Thus, the Swiss architect who perfected the sacred architecture of the city of St. Petersburg (established by King Peter I and later developed by various secret orders), was the founder of the local health system, known today as the “SPA & Golf Resort”.
In 1869, the Grand Hotels “Quellenhof” and “Helenabath”, so named in honor of the Russian princess, first opened its doors. Eventually Bad Ragaz becomes one of the most fashionable spa resorts in the world. The richest people, people of power and celebrities from all over the world start coming here to fill up with the power of this place.
Laboratory of Thought
Any knowledge is not based simply on the information we learn, but rather on the ability of our consciousness to operate this. Therefore the most important task of alchemy is to improve the geometry of the brain and here we can get in touch with the legacy and ideas of the Celts, as well as the teachings of Paracelsus.
Program
- Tuning the consciousness
- Improving of the brain geometry
- Submersion in the world of the sound
Laboratory of Taste
Acquiring the taste through realizing the knowledge about our body and its capabilities is the condition under which we can master the nature of our feelings and possibilities. The knowledge of the taste is contained in the understanding of the body in Indian tradition. The ability to understand all forms of nutrition determines our ability to recover and also to develop.
Program
- Three nights gourmet with a different flavor:
- Salty — a visit to a Swiss restaurant accompanied by a beer sommelier;
- Sour — visit to restaurant to a Michelin-starred restaurant
- Spicy — an encounter with a Liechtenstein winemaker.
- “Nutrition of the Future” Project
Alchemy of Body
The Alchemy of Body is the most interesting section in the knowledge of alchemy, because the body is defined as a geometric model of the human being, related to the conditions of its development (spatial, temporal, cultural, geographical). Since the body is the main carrier of sensations, in the process of life, the internal support establishes in it and not only forms the world view of the person, but also his actions and reactions, which determine the behavioral and mental nature of the person and as a result, his ability or inability to improve and perfect himself.
Program
- Body in Daoist, Celtic and African traditions
- Art of Beauty
- Massage in the hot springs
- Bathing and enjoying the hot springs
Alchemy of Action
Includes sacred practices related to the improvement of the body and a visit to an ‘aura surgeon’ (able to ‘cut’ the pathogenic karmic zones of the aura).
Alchemy of Travel
Any transfer must have integrity, it is then it has unity. This program is associated with the change of the parameters of the body vibration. This is in fact as if you enter a time machine and experience the infinity for three days, a quality provided by the space and the facilitator.
Facilitator
Oleg Cherne — alchemist, master, traveler, writer, founder of INBI World. Explores the traditions and practices of ancient cultures, pays special attention to the Taoist internal practices for human development and is the author of over 20 books on Taoist alchemy.
For over 30 years he studies and practices this discipline, which is a system of knowledge of ancient China, aimed at the understanding of the interaction with the energy that circulates in the human body and allows transforming the original human nature given from birth, in a more perfect form.
An extensive stage of the personal development of Oleg Cherne is related to the years he spent traveling around the world. During this period he visited (in many cases — repeatedly) the countries of Europe, Asia and Oceania, North America, almost all the countries in Central and South America. In over 30 years he has visited about 140 countries.
