THE NETWORK OF LIGHT
The healers we work together with.
CLARA SOFIA OUCHÈNE
Director of Le Salon des Alchimistes
The Salon des Alchimistes was born from my encounters throughout all of my travels.
Alchemist is an ancient word that refers to the transformation of base metals into gold, an analogy to the transformation of oneself. With the Alchemist my idea is to link different ancestral cultures which are the source of precious support on our journey of transformation and re-connection with our origins and ourselves.
Le Salon des Alchimistes is a platform that facilitates exchange and sharing for those who wish to experience these transmissions. A knowledge that was originally passed from family to family and which was in the service of the whole community. Today this knowledge is getting lost, cut off in the history of lives and generations. Le Salon des Alchimistes reweaves these links to recreate this sharing for anyone in search of knowledge and freedom.
​
I offer you creations with extraordinary speakers and therapists, far from classic encounters. Anchored in their heritage and in the traditions of their civilisation, these wise men and woman will be able to bring you wonderful mind openings: travels to the source.
​
I know personally all the beings presented below.

THE KOGUI NATION
Ancestral Wisdom from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Colombia, Kogui tradition
Les Kogis sont les gardiens de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta avec les Arhuacos, Wiwas et Kankuamos. Ils appellent ce territoire, au nord de la Colombie, le Cœur du Monde. Il représente la diversité de la Terre entière, de la mer des Caraïbes au désert, de la jungle aux montagnes enneigées. La chaîne de montagnes forme un cœur et selon leur sagesse, la vie sur Terre naît dans les lagons au sommet des montagnes, où la neige recouvre les sommets toute l'année.
La spiritualité des gardiens du Cœur du Monde consiste à faire ce qu'ils appellent des « pagamentos », des offrandes en réciprocité aux esprits, faisant partie de leur cosmologie. Ils ont une connaissance approfondie de la Sagesse Terrestre et les Mamos – autorité spirituelle – sont de puissants guérisseurs.

La tranquillité et la paix de la Première Nation de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta montrent à quel point elle est liée à toute la Création.

STEPHEN POPE
Writer & Teacher of the Kabbalah
Stephen Pope BD MA brings out the essence of Kabbalah teachings in a simple and straightforward way. It features fresh translations of biblical texts that completely free them from the distortions caused by centuries of patriarchal mistranslation, misogyny, and hierarchical thinking.
"The teachings of Kabbalah tell us that all of existence is the manifestation of the One Consciousness, which expresses itself through the unfolding of the Great Beauty of diverse life, in multiple dimensions. Creation does not is not a past event: it is always present in us, here and now. When we release our mind from the grip of compulsive thinking, we consciously receive this outpouring of creative Life from Source. This is the deeper meaning of Kabbalah, which comes from the Hebrew root meaning to receive.”
