About
Natura Sophia
At Natura Sophia, we guide individuals on a journey to remember their true purpose and connect deeply with the magic of the cosmos and the Earth. Through the ancient wisdom of astrology, plant medicine, and alchemy, we empower our students to awaken their inner healers, to evolve spiritually, and to live in harmony with the natural world.
Astrology
Gaia is a passionate, experienced astrologer and healer who offers both Astrology Readings and Courses, dedicated to guiding you on a transformative journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual evolution.
Astrology serves as a sacred map to the soul—a tool for unlocking the deeper purpose and meaning behind your life’s journey. Charting the course of our evolution, helping to clarify our soul’s purpose and guide us toward alignment with our highest potential.
At Natura Sophia we are committed to fostering a community of wisdom, transformation, and empowerment, where students are supported to heal, grow, and live authentically in harmony with both the cosmos and the Earth.
Alchemy
Alchemy is the ancient, sacred art of transformation—both of matter and of the self. Rooted in the pursuit of inner wholeness, the practice and study of alchemy offer profound tools for personal evolution.
At Natura Sophia, we embrace alchemy as a spiritual path that mirrors the deep alchemical processes within us all: the transmutation of the shadow into awareness, limitation into freedom, trauma into wisdom. As you explore alchemical principles, you will learn how to harness the power of transformation to heal old patterns, unlock hidden potential, and align with the highest expression of your soul.
Plant Medicine
We honour the ancient, healing wisdom found within the Earth’s plants and herbs. The practice of plant medicine and herbalism is an intimate journey into the heart of nature, where we reconnect with the cycles, rhythms, and wisdom of the natural world. Plants are not only powerful allies for physical healing—they offer spiritual and emotional guidance as well. By learning to work with herbs and master plants, we align ourselves with nature’s inherent ability to restore balance and vitality. When we align with these natural rhythms, we tap into a deeper source of healing and wisdom, allowing us to live in harmony with the world around us and within us. Through the study of plant medicine and nature connection, we remember that we are, in essence, one with the Earth—and in this union, we find healing, nourishment, and the strength to evolve.
