"We are all alchemists with amnesia" is a line from this book that encapsulates the theme of this fictional but partly channeled story. Liza (28) goes through an inner crisis. She's consumed by heartbreak, finds her work unfulfilling, and feels like she's sleepwalking through life. That's why when she receives a mysterious invitation to a Spiritual Alchemy seminar, she accepts the challenge and sets out on a soul-searching journey. She begins to meet with her secretive, ethereal teacher and twelve other men, each representing one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. While conversing with them, she learns about alchemy, astrology, and mainly about what it means to grow into her true self.
