Steven Young - Alchemy: The Science of the Soul

Steven A. Young is an author, musician, and natural philosopher recognised for his work under the music alias Hedflux and as the author of A Fool's Wisdom: Science Conspiracies & The Secret Art of Alchemy (2024). With a background in theoretical physics, holding both a Master of Science (MSci) and a PhD, Steven has carved an eclectic career at the crossroads of science, spirituality, and music. From 2015 to 2018, Steven embarked on a period of spiritual exploration in Central America and Hawaii, immersing himself in shamanic traditions, alchemical studies, and indigenous healing practices rooted in plant medicine and music. Now based in Scotland with his wife and three children, Steven continues to expand his work at the intersection of science and spirituality, exploring alchemical philosophy and the transformative power of sound and music.

In this talk, Steven will be comparing and contrasting the ancient spiritual science of alchemy with the modern materialist sciences of physics, chemistry and biology. He will explore the ways this ancient knowledge can aid the initiate on the path of creation and personal transformation.
