The Way of Alchemy poster for immersive herbalism training and retreats in Puglia Italy

Join Us

For a transformative immersion in Puglia, Italy, where we will explore the interwoven worlds of herbalism, alchemy, ritual, and healing. In these lands, alchemy flourished for centuries as a sacred science, one that sought to understand the profound relationships
between nature, spirit, and the human soul.

Together, we will tend to the traditions rooted in this place while drawing upon ancestral herbal and magical lineages from other cultures too. Through this weaving of wisdom we will cultivate a living framework for reclaiming this “medicine of transformation”, a medicine that has always belonged to the people
and that always sought to create harmony.

RISEN is a 13-day initiation limited to 27 ambitious witches who are ready to take their impact from performing in the current structures of the world… to evoking a global spiritual R-evolution.

This is where your work grows from something that succeeds on paper, to something that stewards humanity through the largest spiritual awakening it has experienced in millenia.

This calling is not for the faint of heart. It is not for those who just want to succeed on an individual level, but it asks of us to take an oath to love. It asks for our souls to be rooted and steady enough to carry the scale of massive evolution of human consciousness as we shift from a domination-based dogmatic system – back into one that reveres the earth, the womb, mothers, community and life itself.

This journey is for those ready to baptize themselves into their spiritual calling, own their craft, and step up as a catalyst of the divine feminine movement.

You were wild here once. Don’t let them tame you.

Tarot Readings

A Tarot reading with Sarah is a rich and transformative experience that bridges the symbolic and the practical. Drawing from her deep studies in archetypal psychology, astrology, world mythology, art history, and elemental magic, Sarah channels the Tarot to help clients gain clarity on their life path, relationships, and energetic patterns. Her readings are both intuitive and grounded, weaving together personal reflection with mythic resonance. Whether in person or online, Sarah holds space with compassion and insight, often integrating rituals such as space cleansing and cord cutting to support energetic shifts. As a permaculturist and spiritual ecologist, she brings a unique lens that connects inner landscapes with ecological design, offering a holistic approach to healing and decision-making.

Working with an Herbalist

A Wellness Consultation with Sarah is an in-depth exploration of your health profile, where together we explore the various roots of your concerns, deciphering patterns and imbalances. Sarah will craft for you a custom protocol focusing on your diet, herbs, mushrooms, and supplements, as well as suggestions for movement, adjunct therapies, rituals, journaling exercises and other practices to support your overall vitality. Sarah can assess and work with a wide range of imbalances, assisting your reproductive health and hormones, stress management, immune system strengthening, digestive restoration, and detox programs.
She approaches each case with humility and confidence, making sure that your protocol is accessible and easy to manage. She does not believe in over saturating your system or making you invest in non sustainable treatments.

Sarah has a very holistic perspective and can help you understand your existing protocol, what you may or may not need to use, how to manage your pharmaceuticals with your herbs, and how to create a gentle and integrated lifestyle.

I love the way Sarah’s thorough wisdom animates the world and lifts the veil to perceive the subtle poetry all around us. Her lectures and creative exercises inspire a contemplative mood that opens the way for the vulnerable reflections needed for an insight to settle deep within us. Whether it’s about plants or the stars, she knows how to ground esoteric knowledge with the precision and discipline I want to fully trust their truth in my path. I really enjoy the way she weaves play and humor into her style, too! Sarah carries a lively, nurturing, thought-provoking presence.

If you a seeking a mentor / educator that will help guide you to deepen your healing, while supporting your community, and our planet… Sarah is that mentor / educator. The way she teaches is so harmonious for the learning styles of everyone in the classroom. She is considerate of making an online platform feel as communal and supportive as a in person classroom would be. I am looking forward to continue learning from her whether it be online or in person! So grateful for her wisdom, passion, and guidance on the good medicine road!”

Abbie Mae Peterson

Tarot felt obscure and too nebulous to dive into. Sarah demystified its symbolism and revealed its modern relevance. This course made me understand that the Tarot can be a powerful tool to aid in self-reflection. Thanks to the knowledge and foundation this course gifted me, I am more confident exploring the Tarot further. 

Drew Kim

Sarah’s interdisciplinary approach to sharing the tarot was very relatable and accessible in terms of my own knowledge and interests (herbalism, permaculture, earth-based spirituality….). I highly recommend any course that Sarah teaches, knowing that it will be well-planned and delivered and in a way that is as inclusive as possible for all types of folx curious about the tarot or other subjects about which she is knowledgeable and experienced in.

Al Mason

Sarah’s Tarot class was exactly what I was craving in my journey of learning the tarot. I left the class with a solid foundation of knowledge, a heightened relationship with my deck, and enough confidence to begin reading for family and friends. The classroom environment was intimate despite being on zoom and it is clear how much Sarah cares for her students as she fostered that environment. Her classes helped me create a basic tarot reference guide of my own and I will certainly be returning to the recordings. For anyone considering taking her class, it’s a no brainer! If you want to deepen your tarot practice and gain a community of fellow tarot students, it’s an experience not to be missed.

By understanding patterns in the environment with a permaculture lens, I was able to see the unharmonious patterns within myself and through repetition of practice and observation, I gained confidence in working with, cultivating and studying plants.

Karen Man

This course (permaculture for the herbalist’s path) exceeded my expectations. Everyday I felt deep gratitude for all the knowledge and wisdom I was gaining. Sarah and Lala are genuine and knowledgeable teachers. I loved learning from them and the entire community. I feel so deeply in my heart that this course will change my life and the way I show up for the earth and my community.

Rebecca Espinoza

I am so grateful I took this transformational program! Not only did I get to much education and information, but the experience with the people in the program and the beauty of Lake Atitlan was incredible

Jenny Griffith

This was such a special course for me. All the content was great and so well organized, balanced with activities and class time.  I loved how not only I learned about the material but about myself and who I am in community, where I am in my journey and where I am going. Thank you for holding this space of healing for us. I will always treasure this experience. I could feel how intentional everything was and that means the world. Please keep offering and sharing your gifts because it moves mountains.

Alexandra Berger

Taking part in Permaculture for the Herbalists path was one of the best gifts I have ever given myself.
All of the the teachers facilitators are incredibly knowledgeable and share their experience with so much passion, making every lesson fun and informative. The course content is vast and goes deep into the world of plants, people and permaculture. Weaving them together beautifully through the concept of Human Ecology. I came in with a deep desire to learn and left feeling confident in my ability to continue growing on the path of herbalism and permaculture with integrity.
Through plant walks, medicine making workshops, ceremony, classes, open discussions and hands on experience we learned to better understand the language of plants as well as how to work with them and the earth in more harmonious ways.
Bambu where the course was held is located in one of the most magical places on earth, amongst the lake and volcanoes and hosted us lovingly with delicious locally grown meals, comfy rooms and a sweet caring staff.
