Full Materia Medica of 27 stones with several applications
Ongoing Facebook Group with Sarah – 9 weeks of guidance, accountability and community
For our 9-week process, we will experience 3 phases of awakening derived from the ancient Daoist Upper Clarity tradition
– Authenticity, Mystery and Shen.
Within those 3 phases, 9 themes in our ceremonial progression arise,
1 each week, building on each other.
Each of these 9 themes uncover the ancient stories of 3 stones.
This ceremonial progression is the alchemical workshop we call
"the cave."
"Any course with Sarah is so much more than a simple transmission of information. I wasn’t prepared for the profound healing that would come out of the 9-week progression. I had the most intense (in a good way) and beautiful ancestral healing/clearing after building a grid with the week one stones. Week one paid for the course – week one. Truly these shifts are seismic. They are quantum. They are miracles."
Ali Galliot,
Stone Medicine Practitioner and Teacher
"The honesty of the stones is revolutionary to me. I’ve gained a most valuable vault of tools and practices. Practices that I will never forget and that I will use on a regular basis. My Grounding and Prayer practices have expanded. The Pearl Visualization and the Big Dipper Meditation I’ve found intensely awesome and powerful."
Rebecca Steele,
Acupuncturist
Your personal transformation will take place through your daily engagement
with the powerful stone rituals and practices.
You will feel the freedom of being able to merge stone medicine into all of your other work – forever.
You will graduate with the tools to apply stones and crystals to 3 valuable Beings
– yourself, others and the Earth.
Materia Medica lectures will introduce you to the rich and poetic properties of each stone according to a true ancient Daoist tradition, and beyond.
Knowledge of the properties leads to practice.
You will be immersed
in all 3 applications of stone medicine:
1) Elixir 2) Poultice 3) Vibrational
Elixirs - anything we put IN the body. Elixir studies include: what the word elixir really means, how to make potent stone elixirs, how to make effective formularies, how to dose, safety, ceremonial elixirs, how to merge with other Earth medicines and more.
Poultice - anything we put ON the body. How to work with jewelry, rubs, salves, the creation of on-the-body treatments and more.
Vibrational - anything we put AROUND the body. Vibrational studies include: the dynamics of table-top crystal grids, the potential of large land grids, raising the vibration of space, working with stones as spectrum-based beings, internal alchemy, journey techniques and more.

"When I started looking for a class to learn more about the healing properties of stones and was led to this Sarah and this course, I had no idea that only a few short months later I would find my heart, consciousness and world expanded so immensely! So much awakened within me – knowledge, awareness, feelings, senses, dreams. I am in awe at the powerful connections I made with myself, the stones, and the circle of cave dwellers."
Violetta Dimitrova,
Building Supervisor and Medicine Woman
"I don’t think I’ve ever felt so held in my life to be who I am. Sarah and the stones created such an inviting, non-judgmental space and I really felt encouraged to open to what I am being called to do. Now that the fear is gone, I’m just full of love, joy, empowerment and excitement. I am creating medicine, and feel I can work with the stones to help me do this. I feel unstoppable :). I will definitely be returning for Temple of Stone."

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the stones provided? Where do we get them?
The stones are not provided because different students need different things. Some students may already have many of the stones. Some students may have fewer. You might want to work with a cherished piece you’re already bonded to. And, for the stones you don’t have, obtaining the pieces is part of the learning. Choosing what resonates with you is essential. A guide to obtaining qi-filled stones for this course can be found here.
What if I'm not on Facebook?
Nothing will be taught in Facebook that is not shared in the live weekly classes or in the materia medica lectures. All of the stone medicine content will come to you, even if you are not on Facebook. When you are not on Facebook, you do not see other student’s processes as much. You will experience a little less community in the course. However, you will still be deeply nourished, educated, and accelerated on your path with this course, if you are not on Facebook.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to all of the videos and audios for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own. The private Enter the Cave Facebook community will end about a week after the course, and all of the cavers will be moved to the special graduates only FB community.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with the first week’s live lecture and materia medica of the week, you can cancel your enrollment by Sunday night (at the end of the first week). You will be un-enrolled from the course and given a FULL REFUND. After that point, there will be no refunds.
What is the refund policy?
There will be no refunds issued for any reason after the end of the first week of class. See the answer above for more.
If I choose the payment plan, how do I get the payments to you and when?
Your first payment will be due the day you enroll, to save your seat. The following payments will be automatically drafted out of the payment source the first day of the next two to four months.
What if I can not attend the Monday night lectures in real time?
The live lectures will be recorded and uploaded into your curriculum by the next day! You can watch them as soon as you can. They will remain in your curriculum forever.
What's the difference between the live Monday night lectures and the materia medica lectures?
The live lectures on Monday nights cover the spiritual theme of the week, how to engage in the practice of the week, and how to orient to the stones and their potentials. It’s also a time when teachings are shared about the history of the lineage and the consciousness of the practitioners involved with it. We get you prepared and excited for the complete materia medica that comes to you directly after the live lecture. In the materia medica videos, we go in-depth with each stone, and cover three per week.
Tell me about the certification I receive.
At the end of the course, students are sent an evaluation questionnaire. The questions are geared towards harvesting your experience, not right and wrong answers. Your answers will be read by Sarah Thomas, LAc, your instructor. If they reflect that you participated in the course and engaged with the practices, you will become a certified stone and crystal medicine practitioner by the Upper Clarity School of Stone Medicine. You will receive a wall certificate and gain access to higher level courses in the future, like the teacher training.
