What People Are Saying:

Seraphina is incredibly knowledgeable, generous, and patient as a teacher and mentor. She is a truly gifted storyteller and in every lesson she freely shares her deep wisdom as well as all of her practical tips and tricks. She takes great care to make sure you understand all of the material and complexities. I learned so much by being introduced to herbs one at a time, tasting them, making medicine with them, using them as food and growing them. I feel as if I have just scratched the surface of what is possible and I now have the framework I need to apply to any herb I wish to work with.  The Alchemy of Herbal Medicine is not just a perfect course for anyone who wants to become a full-time herbalist. This is a comprehensive learning opportunity for anyone who wants to better understand how to identify and use herbs in your daily life as well as how to determine a healing plan and create remedies for yourself or your loved ones.

Through the Alchemy of Herbal Medicine course with Seraphina Capranos I have discovered not only a wealth of resources to continue my personal practices, but a deeper connection to myself, to fellow travelers, and mostly importantly – to nature and the abundance of plant medicine and wisdom that surrounds us all. Seraphina is incredibly wise and alchemizes her experience spanning several decades as a herbalist, as ritualist, herbal educator, and homeopath. As a student of her’s since 2015 I truly feel that her unique approach to teaching, her invitational leadership style, and sacred guidance creates a foundation of wisdom I will not soon forget. As a beginner in the world of plant medicine, I have often felt intimidated by this path. However the way Seraphina weaves the essence and magic of plants with the science of herbal medicine, has helped me find my confidence and clarity in working with herbs. Throughout this course, Seraphina supported me to “get to know” plants first through the lens of my own intuition, which was then confirmed by the shared experiences of other students, and sealed by practical applications, history, folklore, culture uses, case studies, and modern naturopathic practice – all of which has awoken passion and confidence within me that I haven’t felt since I was a little girl. A little girl who truly felt the magic and wisdom of the natural world. Perhaps you too feel a pull to rediscover this wisdom of plants, herbs, and your own innate wisdom. May my personal experience of the Alchemy of Herbal Medicine I have shared with you be the answer you have been longing for – to awaken the healer within you.

Attending The Alchemy of Herbal Medicine with Seraphina is nourishing in so many ways. The Plant Journeys and centering exercises help me come into my body and be open to the sensations and layers of sensitivities in my whole organism. The depth, dedication and knowledge that Seraphina has for her work is truly inspiring and highly supportive as she guides us through a specific herb each class, including many layers of understanding and use of the herbs in our lives and with others. This class is rich, nourishing, healing and educational. I myself will not become a herbalist for work, but I am learning to make the preparations for myself, my family, my friends and a few students that I work with in my music practice. I am inspired to keep learning and dedicating myself to planting more herbs and learning how the wondrous benefits from them that we can have right in our own backyard. I highly recommend this course and highly recommend Seraphina. She has changed my life in many ways.
