The Emerald Tablet and the Creative Act – Brian Cotnoir

Thursday May 14th 2026, 6.30 – 8-30 pm
Auditorium of the C.G Jung Center (New York)
FREE in person event (registration required)
Alchemy is the art and science of bringing something to its final perfection, that is, completion in the sense that a work of art is completed or perfected.

The Emerald Tablet, famous for its declaration “as above, so below,” is a cornerstone text of alchemy and, as such, it embodies all aspects of alchemical work and so can be read as both a physical and non-material process. The challenge in the practice of alchemy is in the union of these two views. Working with a new translation from the oldest known version of the Emerald Tablet, tonight’s talk will examine this text in light of the actual inner and outer practices of alchemy and its implications and possibilities for any creative work.


Brian Cotnoir is an alchemist, artist, author and award-winning filmmaker.
