This course is about the art of living in harmony with intuitive understanding of what can support us in everyday life. About how simple actions can drastically change the quality of our lives for the better.
Connecting to common sense of micro and macro cosmos principles of our beautiful reality can bring us to bigger understanding of our proper nature.
Goal is to open wide range of possibilities of how we can use, transform and learn from any possible plant.
The vast and captivating realm of the plant kingdom unfolds in a tapestry of diversity, offering infinite opportunities for exploration, sustenance, and healing.
Today it is necessary to be able to use the plants around us, to work with them using ancient and modern knowledge together.
The workshop consists of three stages: Soul, Body and Spirit. At each of them we will reveal different levels of working with plants, their archetypes and ways of connecting with your Soul, Body and Spirit.
Level 1 - Soul
In the heart of Brazil - Alto Paraiso
There is nothing more precious than Beauty of Knowledge and Richness of Experience.
The soul is the most striking and distinctive traits and features of an individual. In plants, these are their color, characteristics, aroma and medicinal properties.
Thanks to our soul qualities we determine our circle of friends, lifestyle, profession, beloved ones. The soul is the sphere of feelings and sensations.
By connecting with our soul and the soul of plants, we develop vital qualities: feelings and sensations which eliminates need for external advisers.
The sensory sphere of knowledge is a direct understanding of what and when we need to create an optimal mood and state.
The ALUME workshop is a combination of theory and practice related to health, healing and herbalism. Plants are the closest and most accessible kingdom to a Human.
Understanding of any principles develops best through practice, which we will do in the course. Apart from the training, an important part is the trips to the Waterfalls that you see in the photographs. Water is a sphere of feelings as well, it cleanses our soul (aura), helps to absorb information, keep focus and relax, which is necessary to gain a deeper experience.

What is ALUME?
Abundance of Life in Unity with Mother Earth
ALUME is the unified name of the farm on which the project, community and institute are based.
ALUME is the crowning achievement of Madre Terra company.
At the ALUME farm, medicinal and aromatic plants are grown using the Agroforestry method, which is implemented in the production of Madre Terra goods.
Preserving and regenerating the Atlantic Forest, we make a positive impact on the biome and create jobs, bringing a new approach of co-creation for everyone’s benefit.
ALUME is an Artistic Agroecological Aldea. Aldea means a tribe, village. Using tribe’s principles, we build a community, supporting the individuality of each person in the process of common enrichment. By summing up our efforts, we create the best.
ALUME is an educational project aimed at health, environmentally friendly production, recycling, technological and production processes integrated into daily life.

The main goal of ALUME is to create environmental and social impact on both local and international levels.
The concept is to unite different processes and people to create a prosperous society living in co-creation and harmony with nature, using ancient knowledge together with modern technologies.
What are the places we going to visit?
Astral Garden is our first creation of complex structure that helps us to cultivate, multiply and grow plants we are passionate about.
It is a kinder garden for plants that we are cultivating in bigger scale in ALUME farm. Here we observe how to care about some species, cultivate healthy soil, making art out of it.
Astral Garden is part of the property of Persian Princes Family, here we going to spend a day, enjoying Spa and having deep talk near the fire.
Astral Herbalism is the way to deal with the stars (astros) and planets through archetypes of plants. Incredible to observe how plant are guided and blueprinted by Planets. It is our opportunity to deal with big through the small. Working with plants is to touch planets with our hands.
Our friends and partners Terra Booma – exemplary high organized Syntropic Agroforestry farm and community.
Agroforestry or Syntropic farming is way of planting in order to regenerate diversity, creating collaboration between plants instead of fighting with nature using conventional monoculture methods. Using Agroforestry principals that are based on observation of nature can bring twice more fruits two times faster without using chemicals, agrotoxics and GMO. It’s a true art how we can give back to nature, thinking on longer cycles and not on short term results and profit.
Using plants of different extracts, sizes and lengths of life cycles, a system is created that provides food, medicine and resources, and as a result we create a forest and improve the quality of the soil.
Originally, all the planet was a large forest, but the classical agro-industry turned these forests into fields, destroying and impoverishing the diversity of life in the soil. Agroforestry is an innovative solution to many modern problems.
