Spagyric Immersion Portugal
Join us for a ten-day immersion in Portugal that unites Spagyric laboratory work, astrology, and phytotherapy, 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.”

Where We Will Stay
Our Spagyrics retreat will take place at Essência Nature Retreat, a conscious eco-sanctuary and agriturismo nestled in the wild landscape of Aljezur, on Portugal’s Costa Vicentina. Surrounded by cork oaks, chestnut trees, and the quiet rhythm of off-grid living, Essência offers a space where simplicity, beauty, and nature come together with intention. Its blend of farmhouse rooms and elegant glamping tents provides comfort without losing the elemental connection to land, wind, and ocean. Only minutes from pristine beaches and dramatic Atlantic cliffs, it is a place designed for deep rest, inner work, and the kind of spaciousness that supports true alchemical transformation—an ideal container for our spagyric journey.
