Immerse yourself in the art and practice of Spagyrics

Join us for an exclusive hands-on immersion at Escola de Espagiria’s lab in São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras, Brazil, where you will be guided by Indio and Ana through a transformative week of Spagyric practice. Designed for those eager to deepen their understanding and refine their skills, this experience blends practical application, exploration, and a profound connection to nature.

Throughout the week, you’ll revisit foundational Spagyric techniques while immersing yourself in hands-on work. Together, we will harvest plants, distill, ferment, calcinate, and share stories, delving into the depths of this ancient art. This is a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge, gain deeper insights, and work closely under the expert guidance of Indio and Ana.
