Join us as we welcome guest teacher Maureen Judith of AuraLavora for a special introduction to the world of alchemy. This rare opportunity offers a solid foundation in an ancient tradition that blends alchemical processes, spagyric medicines, phytochemistry, and the rhythms of nature. Whether you’re simply curious or looking to expand your herbal practice, this class opens the door to a rich and often misunderstood system of medicine making.
About Spagyric Medicine Making
Spagyrics are far more than a recipe or technique, they are part of a centuries-old tradition that weaves together alchemy, herbal medicine, philosophy, and an understanding of nature’s cycles. In this introductory class, you’ll gain a solid foundation in the Spagyric tradition, explore its origins and core principles, and leave with a deeper understanding of this fascinating path of medicine making.

✨What alchemy actually is (and isn’t)
✨History of alchemy, science & medicine
✨The history of Spagyrics
✨What is a spagyric / Humoral medicine
✨Spagyric vs standard tinctures
