Live Online Course: Sunday July 26th, 10am – 3.30pm AEST (via Zoom)

For thousands of years, herbalists, physicians, alchemists, and cultivators alike have understood plants within a living cosmological framework where celestial cycles, elemental qualities, seasonality, and planetary timing formed part of botanical relation and extraction.

This full-day intensive explores the historical, philosophical, and practical foundations of celestial herbalism through the lens of:
➛ Traditional western herbalism
➛ Humoural medicine
➛ Renaissance natural philosophy
➛ Esoteric and alchemical traditions
➛ Ecological observation and seasonal timing

Together we will explore:
➛ Perspectives on macrocosmic to microcosmic resonance
➛ Planetary temperaments of plants
➛ Humoural classification
➛ Planetary hours & lunar phases
➛ Historical Materia Medica methodologies
➛ Harvesting & extraction timing
➛ Cosmological philosophy in herbal practice
➛ Critical historical perspectives and modern interpretation

Course material included with purchase:
➛ Reference tables & medical astrology chart
➛ Planetary hours chart
➛ PDF copy of slides
➛ Recommended reading➛ 30-day recording access

This is not an astrology certification, nor is it formed off a purely modern occult framework. This course offers a historically grounded exploration of how celestial influence was historically understood and applied within herbal traditions. Jaynaya’s background is versatile, bridging magico-medical herbalism and laboratory alchemy with regenerative agriculture informed by historical and animistic perspectives.

Designed for beginner to advanced herbalists, growers, medicine makers, students of traditional medicine, and those interested in the philosophical foundations of plant relation for ritual purposes and the like.

This inaugural Foundations Intensive will also help shape the future expanded course series, including advanced modules and ongoing monthly Q&A sessions.

The live session will be recorded and made available to enrolled participants for 30 days following the intensive. The recording is provided for personal educational use and is not available for permanent download.

Presented live by Jaynaya D’Esterre Atkins
Western Herbalist, Researcher & Founder of DOSE Botanicals

Studnet Reviews

“I attended Jaynaya's Celestial Herbalism class and I learnt more about herbal history in this one session than I have in years of formal study! 
Jaynaya is thorough, and has an amazing ability to condense and synthesis dense information into accessible, yet not watered down, learning material. I highly recommend anything from Dose Botanicals, as I completely trust the quality and attention that is given to the content and craft.”

— Taj Scicluna

“One of the most compelling aspects of the course was exploring the philosophical foundations of herbalism — how ancient thinkers understood the relationship between plants, people, and the cosmos — and tracing the true historical origins that shaped the traditions we still draw from today. Learning how herbalism began, not as folklore but as a thoughtful, observational practice rooted in cosmology and early natural philosophy, added a depth and legitimacy that elevated the entire experience.”

— Pete Sullivan-Vera

“I experienced a deepening of my knowledge, seamlessly building upon solid blocks of intuitive and academic herbal medicine lore. This was like the class you wanted in your studies, that no one gave. The whole experience from start to finish moved with an energy of inclusion, respect for tradition and a meticulous understanding of herbalism as a living art form. The plants and I were very proud and grateful to have this knowledge championed and shared from an experienced, Australian practitioner. Can't wait for the next one.”
