Capturing the Soul: The Hermetic Art of Spagyrics
Join us in Aljezur, Portugal, for a four-day immersion dedicated to the Soul of the plants — their anima, where the foundations of Spagyrics unfold through philosophy and practice.
This workshop offers a living introduction to the art and science of Spagyric extraction — a path that unites hands-on laboratory work with a deeper understanding of nature’s intelligence.
Through guided distillations, discussions, and reflections, we will explore how to capture the most subtle and volatile principles of life — the aromatic soul of the plants — and preserve them in forms that hold both beauty and vitality.
You will learn to work with: • Essential oil distillation (complete extraction) • Aromatic waters • Oleolites (oil infusions) • Melites (honey infusions)
This workshop serves as an introduction to Spagyric philosophy and practice, offering a tangible experience of the anima as the bridge between matter and spirit — the place where fragrance becomes medicine and transformation reveals the hidden virtues of nature.
