So the Alchemy Center is a collection of professional creatives working together to bring inspiring projects to life through a collaborative design process that harnesses everyone's genius. 

It's like modern day alchemy, which is ancient.

The transformational process of taking something of little value, and turning it into something incredibly valuable.

I think the one, really simple point everyone could take away from this conversation is:

Extractive culture is taking more than you give back, from people or the earth.

Sustainability is maintaining a system at equilibrium.

Regeneration is giving back more than you take.

Besides that we jammed.

As she oft reminds me - appreciate what's right in front of you.

Appreciate you Olivia.

Sending Love,
