The mission of this project was to create awareness of the homeless by showcasing their creative talent and dignifying them as human beings. Author William Edwards said of his reasons for pursuing his far-reaching journey: 
“I wondered what it must be like to truly be homeless... no bed, no food, really nothing at all.I wondered if they saw the world much differently than I do.
Do they see sunsets? I really wondered about this and more importantly, I wondered how can I see what they see...what do their eyes see? How can I get these images from them and not of them? 
Then it came to me - Give them a camera! Just let them take pictures of their everyday lives! 
It would take almost two years to hand these out one by one to people around the country.

- and that’s just what I did..."

The mission of this ambitious project was to create awareness of these marginalized individuals, by showcasing their creativetalent and dignifying them as human beings...

The Alchemical Courtyard was a very ambitious project; the vision of Jason Gordon who decided some years ago to create an organization dedicated to alternative and inclusive medicine.

To cover the wide scope of the various departments, I established an “informational system” capable of matching the organization’s spiritual dimension, while simultaneously making the information comprehensible and accessible to a wider audience.
