How it started...
From the beginning, Oli’s life has been shaped by a deep connection to the plant world. As a child, his imaginary friends weren’t superheroes or cartoon figures — they were plants. At four years old, he experienced them as alive, conscious, and responsive. That early awareness became a thread he would follow throughout his life.
By the time he was eighteen, the limits of conventional education were clear. Schooling inside rigid systems felt hollow compared to the lessons he was receiving directly from nature. The Into the Wild became a mirror, affirming his sense that real learning would come by stepping outside the structures that confine us and choosing another path. Oli began living as a nomad — backpacking across countries, working on organic farms, practicing yoga, and deepening his relationship with meditation and plant medicine.
These years of travel eventually brought him to the Peruvian Amazon, where he entered apprenticeship with Shipibo healers. Through this discipline, he learned the power of master plant diets — the long-term practice of working with plants as teachers, allies, and medicines. The Shipibo tradition showed him how subtle and precise this relationship could be: not only healing symptoms, but reshaping the patterns of body, mind, and spirit.
The Path Deepens
Alongside this path, another doorway opened: alchemy. After apprenticing in traditional Amazonian medicine, Oli also began studying formally with the School of Evolutionary Herbalism. Here he discovered the alchemical tradition, once repressed, hidden from plain sight, yet carrying profound methods of refinement. In alchemy he found a language that described what he had already been sensing: that plants are never isolated. They are defined by their relationships — the soil they grow in, the season they emerge, the phase of the moon, the hour they are harvested, their correspondence with planetary forces and archetypes.
For Oli, alchemy became the meeting point of all his learnings: the discipline of apprenticeship, the rigor of study, the experimentation of lived practice. He pushed his body and mind through fruitarian diets, biohacking, and protocols built around plant diets and lifestyle design — testing the boundaries of human potential and learning what it means to refine the self as matter is refined. Alchemy showed him that “as within, so without” is not a metaphor but a practice.
Aethernal Beginnings
In 2020, this integration became Aethernal Alchemy. Based in Pisac, Peru, the work began humbly, shared by word of mouth. There was no marketing strategy, no push to persuade. The medicines spoke for themselves. People found their way to the Spagyric tinctures, Ormus and plant-stones because they worked — practical, accessible remedies that carried both the physical and subtle qualities of the plant.
Today, Aethernal Alchemy continues in the same spirit. Each preparation is made with care, aligned to cycles of earth, planets, stars and elements, crafted to express the plant’s full character. Some medicines are light and immediate, others deep and enduring, but all serve the same intention: to restore balance and expand potential.
The vision is clear — to reject the normalization of toxicity and limitation, and to remind us that health, clarity, and vitality are the human baseline. Through the integration of Shipibo medicine, deep respect for the alchemical tradition, and lived experience, Aethernal Alchemy offers not only remedies, but a way of remembering what is possible.
