Autumn Alchemical Distillation Journey

Join Kristina, the Untamed Alchemist, on the Autumn Equinox for a day distilling an autumn hydrosol/essential oil while you explore the significance/symbology of the season, the archetypes of the seven stages of alchemy, and the process of distillation.

In the Autumn Alchemical Distillation, you'll explore distillation as metaphor with an eye to determining which alchemical stage you're navigating in your own life as autumn reaches for her cloak. You'll meet key herbs, aromatics, foods, symbols, and archetypes relevant to the season's turn, enjoy a special seasonal snack and beverages, and learn about some of the myths and lore that inform them.

Distillation journeys feature casual lecture, thoughtful engagement, contemplative reflection, lots of room for questions, and time for quiet contemplation. The day may include unique activities such as meditation, journaling, drumming, crafting, and journaling to help you connect with the energy of you in the moment, in your season, in your stage. Importantly, every journey includes time for you to reflect, reconnect, remember, and reset.

This in-person workshop will take place outdoors in the medicine garden or distillation temple, depending upon the weather,  studio at our home, Five Element Farm, in Sagle, Idaho. Please note that restroom facilities are limited to a port-a-potty.
