Listing of Gold Water Alchemy’s features, collaborations, media, press, publications:
Gold Water Alchemy has collaborated with and been interviewed by various people.
Elsie, creator of Gold Water Alchemy, crafted tinctures for Corey Banana, author and artist, whose riveting writing is an account of both survival and healing, at once. Corey aimed to create a gift that would accompany her book and nourish the readers. ‘Heliacal Rising’, a term used to refer to a star seen in the eastern sky before dawn and remaining visible at sunrise, is the name given to the tincture that Elsie formulated for this collaboration. The purpose of this tincture is not only to provide a boost in energy but also to enhance our functional modes. More information about her book and our collaboration here.

Gold Water’s ‘Planetary Potions’ have also been stocked and sold at Crystal Escentials in Chicago, IL. Some of those potions sold out in a matter of hours.
