My passion is human development and change. This passion is best symbolized by the alchemist. In the middle ages, alchemists intended to transform metals into gold; currently, the alchemist is a metaphor for personal growth and transformation. Additionally it stands for a balance between evidence based scientific results in the external world (new materials, models and health solutions) and knowledge and wisdom gained by “turning inward” (awareness of authentic desires, intuition, overcoming inner obstacles and human values).
