The location of this truly life-changing course is appropriately tranquil and sacred, with views of lush fields and rolling hills, surrounded by acres of nature preserves. It’s an experience designed to forever alter one’s perception of the Earth and the Self in an incredibly positive and empowering way. Friday evening’s orientation begins with tribe building: introductions and intention setting, followed by a preview of the materials, and optional certification requirements. We’ll discuss hydrosols, and enjoy a libation to facilitate our guided meditation that solidifies Intention with Spirit. On Saturday we examine the upstream world of medicinal aromatherapy, including manufacture, market variability, and a peek at the people on the farms growing and harvesting these powerful medicines. You’ll understand practical uses of essential oils for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs, while learning about and experiencing over 100 individual essences. Sunday begins in Sacred Space, with a deep shamanic journey guided by ancient rhythms and song; a short break afterwards gives students the opportunity to journal and process their profound experiences. We’ll resume our exploration by understanding how essential oils are used with a variety of healing modalities, assisted by dozens of medicinal allies. The class ends with a hands-on practical experience, where students become more confident in working with these potent tools. Certification is available for those who wish to deepen their craft and receive benefits on their future purchases. A maximum of 6 students per class, assisted by one or 2 auditors ensures a consistent atmosphere of community and trust. By reconnecting to nature through the wisdom of the essences, students are also able to reconnect to their highest self, walk their path confidently with a strong sense of support from the Plants and Trees. I really am looking forward to meeting you; it is such a delight to connect with others who share such love for the Earth.
