Alchemical Herbalism – The School Of Evolutionary Herbalism

Harness the Full Medicinal Power of Plants with

ALCHEMY + HERBALISM

TO HEAL THE BODY AND EVOLVE THE SOUL

Most herbalists want to be “holistic.”

The School of Evolutionary Herbalism presents

ALCHEMICAL HERBALISM

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ONLINE EDUCATION ON HERBALISM & MEDICAL ALCHEMY

Some programs teach alchemy. Some teach herbal medicine. None combine them like this program.

Alchemical Herbalism takes the principles of alchemy and shows exactly how they fit into the core of holistic medicine, giving you the ability to transform lives with plants.

This holistic system unites herbal traditions into a cohesive model that integrates the physical & spiritual qualities of people & plants.

You’ll combine theory and practice, the why and the how of holistic herbalism so you can heal the whole person using the whole plant.

This is not your run-of-the-mill herbal program. The synergy of alchemy, spagyrics, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and clinical herbalism gives you entirely new perspectives and skills that revolutionize your practice of plant medicine.

YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO:

• DEVELOP NATURAL LANGUAGE
  Deepen your connection with plants through an ancient mode of perception used by herbalists across the world. Rather than memorizing plant properties, you learn about the plants from the plants themselves.
• INTEGRATE HERBAL TRADITIONS
  See the connections between the herbal traditions of the world — such as Western herbalism, alchemy, astrology and Ayurveda — and weave them together into a comprehensive system of plant medicine.
• KNOW PLANTS WITH PRECISION
  Get beyond memorizing what herbs are “good for” and learn their essential patterns that influence people physically, energetically and spiritually. From tastes, energetics, and actions, to organ affinities, and esoteric properties, you’ll learn your plants with precision so you can target remedies beyond “use this herb for that symptom” herbalism.
• KNOW PEOPLE WITH PRECISION
  Understand the connections between the body, mind, and soul. Get beyond just treating symptoms and get to the root causes of disease. From constitutional systems, anatomy, physiology and pathology, to psychology and stages of spiritual development, you’ll know how to treat the whole person with precision.
• UNITE HERBAL SCIENCE & SPIRIT
  From chemistry and physiological actions, to subtle energetics and spiritual properties, you’ll see the deeper connections between clinical Western herbalism, Ayurveda, medical astrology, and alchemy for a truly holistic model. Relate people and plants to the wholeness of Nature by bringing together the science and spirit of herbalism.
• CRAFT HOLISTIC MEDICINES
  Step-by-step examples of how to create truly holistic spagyric herbal extracts that concentrate the chemical, energetic and spiritual properties of plants that heal the body, mind, and soul of the people you serve. Learn to practice the art and science of traditional herbal alchemy.

YOUR JOURNEY THROUGH ALCHEMICAL HERBALISM

The seven stages of alchemical herbalism represent the practical application of what you learn throughout the course on a journey of learning your remedies holistically, transforming them into powerful medicines, and healing yourself and others with them.

1 DISCOVER YOUR INNER FOREST

• What are the plants that you deeply resonate with and want to understand on a deeper level? The ones that “stand up in the forest and call your name”? The first step is discovering the remedies of your “inner forest” that you’ll take through the alchemical process when you make medicine with it. Further along in the course, this plant will then guide you through the same alchemical process of transformation as it heals your body, spirit, and soul, and reclaims parts of your true nature.

2 BUILD EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE

• Before looking it up in a book, build a your direct experience with the plant by sitting with it, learning directly from it through your heart, and developing your own relationship to it. You’ll cultivate a deep and profound connection to your plant — far beyond what you could learn from a book alone — as you come to understand that plant’s own unique language, teachings, and medicine. Your understanding of herbal medicine will be founded upon how people have learned it for millennia… from the plants themselves.

3 UNDERSTAND HERBS HOLISTICALLY

• Drawing upon herbal traditions from around the world, come to know your plant holistically and how it affects the whole person through its physical actions, constitutional and organ affinities, energetics, psychological and emotional properties, and spiritual virtues. Your heart based understanding will be balanced with intellectual, traditional knowledge that goes beyond just what it’s “good for” so you can use it effectively and holistically.

4 UNLOCK THE ESOTERIC WISDOM IN PLANTS

• Integrating your experience and knowledge of the plant, you’ll be able to decipher your plants unique embodiment of the archetypal forces of Nature through it’s elemental and planetary rulers. You’ll be able to see the essence of the plant through the relationship between its physical, energetic, and spiritual properties, as well as how those same forces allow you to understand human beings holistically. This is the key to preparing your plant alchemically and administering it transformationally.

5 MAKE AN ALCHEMICAL MEDICINE

• With knowledge of the elemental and planetary ruler, you now can harvest and prepare the plant according to the principles of alchemy. You’ll take the plant step-by-step through the transformational process of spagyrics to craft a medicine that concentrates its chemical, energetic and spiritual properties you’ve come to understand through the previous stages. This advanced form of medicine making gives you the ability to heal the whole person, because the medicine contains the whole plant.

6 TRANSFORM YOURSELF

• Complete the second half of the alchemical process as the plant now guides you through the same transformational process you took it through in the spagyric process. As you take your spagyric preparations, you’ll receive a deep level of healing and integration of your plant’s unique medicinal virtues as it becomes a part of who you are. As you heal the various parts of yourself you’ll come to a deeper understanding of the archetypes of Nature, and grow in your skills as an herbalist.

7 SERVE OTHERS

• Everything comes full circle as plant by plant, spagyric by spagyric, healing by healing, you enter deeper levels of understanding of the healing power of alchemically prepared plants and step into the role of serving your community as an alchemical herbalist, sharing the deep levels of transformational healing you’ve received through this process.

This is the path of the Alchemical Herbalist, where you learn your plants intuitively and rationally, through study and experience, with your heart and your mind.

Where you’re competent in the medicine you carry because you know it inside and out, you’ve experienced the transformation for yourself, and confident to share that transformation with others.
