Alchemy Plant Spirit Connection Course

Every plant carries a spirit—and the spirit of Artemisia vulgaris has been a companion to healers and self-cultivators for thousands of years, across traditions, cultures, and continents.

In Daoist Alchemy, plants are more than substances that produce predictable biochemical effects. They are living intelligences with their own spirit, their own nature, and their own capacity to participate in healing at levels that extend far beyond the physical.

Artemisia is one of humankind’s oldest healing allies.

She burns away what no longer belongs. She clears the residue of unresolved experience. She nourishes the blood and creates space for what is true to emerge. Her medicine can touch the body, the mind, the spirit, and dimensions of the self that conventional approaches to healing may never reach.

Go Beyond the Mechanics of Moxa

This course is not simply a clinical tutorial on how to use moxa.

Instead, Leta Herman, Brittney Chowning, and Jaye McElroy invite you into a different relationship with Artemisia—one that explores the plant as a living healing intelligence and opens the door to a deeper understanding of multi-dimensional healing.

For practitioners, this perspective can transform the way you understand and work with moxa in the treatment room.

For self-cultivators, it offers an introduction to plant spirit connection as a genuine practice of awareness, healing, and personal transformation.

Come ready to meet Artemisia on her own terms.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is designed for both healing practitioners and self-cultivators. Whether you work within Chinese Medicine or are exploring Daoist Alchemy as part of your own personal cultivation, the teachings offer an opportunity to deepen your relationship with plant medicine and the multidimensional nature of healing.
