Peace and Good Site & Laboratory
"It is the soul of the plant that heals."— Paracelsus
Where it all begins!
Sítio Paz e Bem is a sacred space where alchemy flourishes in harmony with nature. Spanning 100,000 square meters, located in Cotia, it's the environment where all the raw materials used at AlkhemyLab come to life. There, each plant is grown 100% organically, using a biodynamic farming system that respects the Earth's natural cycle and the influence of the stars.
Own cultivation system
Cultivation is done in mandalas, an ancient technique that enhances the vital energy of plants by aligning their organization with the four fundamental elements: fire, earth, air, and water. This method not only promotes the uniform growth of the species but also strengthens the connection between humans and the natural environment. Each harvest follows precise rhythms, respecting lunar phases and astrological alignments that amplify the plants' vitality.
Hygiene
Upon receiving the plants from Sítio Paz e Bem, the first step is to rest the flowers in grain alcohol for 28 days, allowing their subtle properties to integrate with the liquid medium. After this period, the essence is separated from the bagasse, which then undergoes calcination in the muffle furnace. The resulting salt is reintegrated into the essence, symbolizing the rebirth of the flower in a new, enhanced form.
Our Chapel
At the Capela do Sítio, a space specially built to harmonize the essences with the influence of the 12 zodiac signs, the "soul" of the plants is transposed from their physical state to their liquid state. This process is conducted with alchemical rigor and profound respect for ancestral wisdom, creating a synergy between the visible and the invisible. Sítio Paz e Bem is not just a place of cultivation, but a true sanctuary where the ancient knowledge of alchemy meets the vital force of nature to create compositions that elevate the human experience.
Laboratory: The Heart of Alchemical Transformation
The AlkhemyLab laboratory is the epicenter where the ancient science of alchemy meets contemporary practices, creating compositions that transcend the material. There, each step of the alchemical process is performed with precision and reverence, transforming natural raw materials into vibrant elixirs. This space is more than a technical environment; it is a true sanctuary where the visible and the invisible intertwine.
Tradition and Innovation
The space is also enriched with pure quartz bells and crystal bowls, which emit harmonic sound frequencies. These sounds interact with the substances in process, intensifying their energetic qualities. Violet Miron jars are used to store the essences, protecting and maintaining the vital energy of the compounds, as well as symbolic engravings that amplify their resonance.
The AlkhemyLab laboratory is, therefore, a space where tradition and innovation coexist, resulting in creations that reflect the essence of alchemy: the art of transformation.
Mineral Machine
Another highlight is the Mineral Machine, inspired by historical alchemical inventions. This equipment transforms precious metals and stones, such as gold, silver, and emeralds, into liquid essences, a process that can take years. This transformation involves knowledge of physics, chemistry, and astrology, revealing the complexity and sophistication of modern alchemy.
