Saturday, May 3 from 10am-4pm

Throughout history, humans have used aromatic plants to assist healing of the psyche and spirit as well as the physical body. The aromas of essential oils offer numerous benefits, with different parts of plants and trees carrying unique energetic messages and affinities for particular body systems. Through our sense of smell, essential oils can help us tap into deeper parts of ourselves to inspire clarity and transformation.

We will explore the different energic properties and benefits of essential oils, experiencing key oils of each botanical category – Trees, Woods, Resins, Roots, Herbs, Flowers, Seeds and Fruit – while learning how these oils affect us on the level of mind, body and spirit. You’ll learn how to build your own ‘energetic tool kit’ of essential oils and experience first-hand the profound effects of aromatherapy, helping to encourage opening, harmonizing, embodiment, receptivity and release. Everyone will have the opportunity to make a rollerball dilution of your chosen oil to take home and work with to deepen your experience.

Logistics: This class is held at Gathering Thyme in Petaluma and runs from 10am – 4pm with an hour lunch break. Class size is limited to 10 students. Register early to ensure your space.

Cost: $100 for the class, plus $10 materials fee to be paid directly to the instructor for one rollerball dilution of your chosen essential oil to take home and work with (more can be purchased if desired).
