I resonate with and ascribe to your way of regarding environmental alchemy as a kind of transformational and
transmutative process, which allows people to experience a more profound sense of “biophilia”, after EO Wilson’s philosophy regarding having a deep love of and kinship to life in its many forms and species. For me, environmental alchemy is the process by which any one can reconnect with the roots of human nature, which is really nature itself in all its complexity; expressed through weather, and geography, natural history, encounters with plants and animals (including pets), and the way we can translate and express these primal/primary relationships through song, crafts, arts, poetry and myth. This connotes your adage that “Alchemy is Transmutation is Action & Communication.” JS
