Educational Courses In Alchemy & Spagyrics 2024 Program
I am delighted to announce that Aurum Holistic will once again be reuniting the dream team of Eaux Chaotiques, collaborating once again with Lina Bou from RoniaTerra & The culinary Collective to provide another alchemical & culinary experience in the heart of the French Alps at the foot of the majestic Mont Blanc.
We will once again be taking over these amazing chalets and their gardens and transforming them once more into a fully functioning alchemical laboratory, gourmet kitchen & restaurant.

Last years two courses proved a resounding success with participants coming from all over the world; Argentina, USA, Turkey, Sweden, Norway, Spain, UK and of course from every corner of France. Friendships were forged, lives were profoundly changed, research projects initiated, collaborations & exchanges undertaken.

October 2024
Not wanting to repeat last years courses (at least not just yet) we have decided this year for our first proposition to move forward into more advanced techniques and touch upon different and even ultra modern extraction methods for our beloved plants & mushrooms. We’re going to touch upon the alchemical works with water and even visit the animal realm.
For our second course we will take a deeper dive into the metallic realm and for those that feel ready into the fascinating and dangerous world of the mythical alchemical metals that are Antimony & Gold.
The Plant Realm II; Deep dive & beyond
Advanced extraction techniques & processes for the plant & lower animal kingdoms
A continuation of Spagyric theory and practice in the preparation of Herbs, Plants & Mushrooms using more advanced techniques other than simple maceration such as Soxhlet, Ultrasound and special Menstrums.
An introduction to water and animal works such as the oil of egg.
Plant Stones and Circulatum
