An introduction

"It is rare to find a teacher or ceremonialist who can bridge the gap between the seen and unseen realms in scientific terms—both physical science and spiritual science.
Whether it is philosophy, chemistry, alchemy, biodynamics, spirit-botany, cosmology, pedagogy, metallurgy, biological intuition, sojourning the imaginal, or soul and spirit belonging and transcendence—Bran Lehto is the penultimate expression of integrating these, and many other, disciplines into his Art of Life.
He teaches naturally and with loving sincerity.

I have known many great teachers, gurus, lamas, and spiritual scientists—but never one who could forge his words into deeds in the real world like Bran: whether creating Paracelsian-inspired medicaments, teaching children, or leading an entire school in studying the spiritual scientific ideas behind child development and human spiritual evolution.

Bran is a long-time inspired artist, father, Waldorf teacher, musician, alchemist, botanist, and chemist par excellence, whose artwork has blown my mind over the decades due to the seemingly unlimited abilities he displays to master any medium. Year after year, he continues to amaze his friends with his never-ending discoveries and inventive ways to “uncover” the spirit—whether in minerals and metals, plants and trees, animals, or the developing human being.

Bran’s brilliant creativity is unparalleled in my experience—and it seems to be growing daily.
Talking to him always requires a pencil and pad to write down the new directions he indicates for further studies—of which, he is indefatigable.

Due to his solid foundation in spiritual science, Bran’s ability to integrate spirit into matter is truly a wondrous thing to behold."
