Join us for a ten-day immersion in Cairo, where the timeless landscapes and ancestral wisdom of Egypt provide the backdrop for a transformative journey into Spagyrics — uniting laboratory work, astrology, and phytotherapy, and offering a direct experience of how Hermetic principles come alive through the healing intelligence of nature, transforming plants into medicine for body, spirit, and soul.

Through philosophy, hands-on practice, storytelling, astrology, and Spagyric phytotherapy, you will learn to capture the essence of plants and craft remedies that nurture both the physical body and the subtle dimensions of being.

Step by step, you will be guided through the foundations of Spagyric practice: distilling essential oils and aromatic waters, preparing medicinal wines, purifying salts, and reuniting body, spirit, and soul to make a Spagyric tincture.

The study of planetary archetypes and astrological correspondences will deepen your understanding of timing, energetics, and balance — the scientific and philosophical foundation of the Hermetic principle “As above, so below.”

🌿 Meet Your Teachers 🌿

Carlos Roberto Gallo (Índio)
A Brazilian master of Spagyrics and co-founder of the Escola de Espagiria, Brazil. With decades of laboratory practice and training under Italian alchemist Stefano Stefani, he carries a rare Hermetic lineage. His work preserves authentic spagyric methods of creating quintessences, magisteria, and elixirs in the ancient alchemical tradition.

Mauricio Rezende
A Brazilian therapist, acupuncturist, and teacher of Spagyrics in Bali and Portugal. Trained with Stefano Stefani and Índio Gallo, Mauricio bridges Egyptian astrology, Chinese medicine, and plant alchemy — guiding students to reconnect body, spirit, and cosmos through hands-on practice.

Carol Da Riva (executive production)
A Brazilian photographer and storyteller, she has traveled the world documenting traditional and indigenous knowledge. In her search for natural medicine, she fell in love with spagyrics. Together with Indio and Mauricio, she co-founded Kermes School of Spagyrics, bringing this practice from Brazil to Bali, Portugal, and now Egypt. Her path has always been rooted in sustainability, permaculture, and agroforestry, values she deepened during her time at Green School Bali, where she co-founded and led The Bridge, the community’s learning center for almost a decade.

Cairo – At the Crossroads of History

Egypt has always been a land where heaven and earth mirror one another. Along the banks of the Nile, in its temples and star-aligned monuments, ancient peoples cultivated a vision of healing that united plants, planets, and the human soul. It was here that the Hermetic teachings of “As above, so below” were born, weaving together astronomy, medicine, and alchemy into a philosophy that shaped generations to come.

While Spagyrics as an art was later systematized by Paracelsus in Renaissance Europe, its inspiration reaches back to these Egyptian traditions. The Hermetic current that flowed from Alexandria carried with it a deep understanding of the elements, the planets, and the vital forces that animate life.

Cairo, with its vibrant pulse and proximity to timeless monuments, becomes the perfect backdrop for this immersion. Surrounded by the living memory of ancient wisdom, we reconnect with the roots of Spagyrics—not only as a laboratory practice but as a bridge between the cosmos, nature, and the healing of body, spirit, and soul.
