Program of the 1st year of Academia

The Body Experience is based on the awakening of the extrapyramidal nervous system harmonized with the enteric nervous system. Then we will experience the production of endogenous substances (hormones and enzymes) and the health enhancer exogenous ones (spagyric-alchemic method, siddha remedies, and the products of modern private biochemical research).

The Energy Experience: We will practice together the five levels of Energy, starting from the bio-magnetic electric field finally to the quality of the Energy of space that gives order to the elements; re-connecting all this to the innate reality of our Natural Mind.

The Alchemy Lab
Participants will learn how to use simple items to start a working Alchemical Laboratory wherein you can prepare Spagyric Tinctures, Herbal Elixirs, Quintessences and Vegetable Stones. The first level course will begin from the Vegetable and some aspects from the Mineral Realm, then progress to more advanced methods.

Alchemical experience will involve the three principles through the knowledge of spagyric anatomy, the four elements and their functions in the Laboratory Work (see aurea cathena omeri images listed in the resources).

Some of the techniques we will perform
Elevation and Distillation
Rectification and Coobation
Calcination and Insolation
Infusion and Filtration
Fermentation and Putrefaction
Circulation and Exaltation
Coagulation and Deliqium

 

The introductory course will focus on a first connection with a unique method based on a continous insight about the experience of the Self, the practical experience of knowledge, and the ability to refine precise methods. We will have a practical, collective experiment with the active involvement of everybody and a discussion of the result.

You'll never be reborn in hell if you'll drink

with a pure motivation the elixir distilled
