the STAFF
Eli Gold
founder / director
Eli Gold is an archetypal analyst, researcher, artist, and meaning-maker.
She is a specialist in intra-personal communication, the study of how inner dialogue shapes the creation of self, identity, and perception. Beyond the study of archetypes, her private practice focuses on self-inquiry through personal or collective ritual, creative expression, sensorial experience, and symbolic action. Her ongoing project, Wisdom Weaving, includes the immersive accompaniment of people facing terminal diagnoses in order to facilitate the redaction of a “A Will of Wisdom” - a document expressing life-insights, passed on to loved-ones following death.
Eli has been lecturing, participating in conferences, and facilitating workshops across Europe for the last 13 years on the subjects of artistic research, ritual therapy, theological epistemology, and eco-spirituality. She received her MFA in sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2010, and completed her postgraduate research at the Royal Institute of Theater, Cinema & Sound in Brussels in 2012 through the Advanced Performance and Scenography Studies program (a.pass).
In early 2021, Eli founded La SOURCE Centre de Recherche & Création - the first transdisciplinary research/creation center dedicated to Love-Studies.

Radu Lazar
coordinator of research & documentation
Radu is a writer and an artist. He studied Fine Arts and Philosophy; and has practiced Buddhist meditation for seven years. He has written two books: one a poetical-philosophical exploration of meditative states and the other, a novel that explores the possibility of the natural expansion of human intelligence, using the material world as hardware, as a necessary counterpart to the artificial expansion of intelligence.
​
As an artist, Radu has experience with painting Byzantine-style icons, mural fresco-painting for churches, and large, abstract-expressionist paintings. He now experiments with installation, land art, as well as various forms of interventions and performance. He also enjoys drawing and photography.
​
He practices various forms of meditation, which are organically integrated into the process of philosophical analysis and creation. He hopes to participate in developing, at La Source, skillful methods that would help integrate the intelligence of matter into a holistic, unified model of human consciousness, thus assisting humanity in its evolution towards a vaster domain of manifestation.
