Join us in Sintra, Portugal, for a three-day immersion dedicated to the Soul of the plants — their anima, where the foundations of Spagyrics unfold through philosophy and practice.

Set in the land that gave birth to Hermetic wisdom, this workshop offers a living introduction to the art and science of Spagyric extraction — a path that unites hands-on laboratory work with a deeper understanding of nature’s intelligence.

Through guided distillations, discussions, and reflections, we will explore how to capture the most subtle and volatile principles of life — the aromatic soul of the plants — and preserve them in forms that hold both beauty and vitality.

You will learn to work with:
• Essential oil distillation (complete extraction)
• Aromatic waters
• Oleolites (oil infusions)
• Melites (honey infusions)

This workshop serves as an introduction to Spagyric philosophy and practice, offering a tangible experience of the anima as the bridge between matter and spirit — the place where fragrance becomes medicine and transformation reveals the hidden virtues of nature.

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.
