What is Materia Prima?
Materia Prima is a Latin term meaning "Primary Matter" or "First Source." According to the ancient art of Alchemy, it is the primitive, formless base of the material world, which is given particular manifestation through the influence of forms. In other words, Materia Prima is pure, undifferentiated energy - that which all of creation itself is made of.
The material world is the evolution of energy, and our reality consists of energy infused with consciousness. First there is thought, or idea, then there is thought form, and then there is matter. The world of creation is energy that has taken form through the process of manifestation.

"Business is the only mechanism on the planet today powerful enough to produce the changes necessary to reverse global environmental and social degradation."
~ Paul Hawken
Inspired by a passionate desire to infuse emerging business models with visionary ideals in service of ecological and economical sustainability, community development, human potential, and planetary socio-cultural evolution, Materia Prima, Ltd. has been created to consciously invest pure energy (Materia Prima) into great ideas (form) in order to bring them into fruition (manifestation).
The ancient alchemists believed that lead could be turned into Gold by reducing it to "Prima Materia" and then imposing the form of Gold on it. This is called transformation or transmutation. The Alchemists knew this to be a process that took place on many levels - chemically, biologically, spiritually, and in mind, heart, body, and soul.
As we move from the iron-clad industrial age market economy and into the golden age of information, wisdom, and sustainability, the world we live in today is ripe for transmutation. In business, culture, and society, we are creating a new paradigm out of the old. And since any transformational process becomes more difficult with resistance to change, it will become increasingly important for We, the People to consciously build bridges between these shifting paradigms with Love and Compassion for ourselves and each other. As a visionary company at the leading edge of this transition, Materia Prima Ltd. is the creative force of the future and one of many gateways to the "Post-Economic Era."
