a 6-class series about mystical Aromatherapy blending techniques
Blending essential oils and aromatic medicine making is as poetic as it is precise.
In my experience, the ability to read symbols and imbue medicine with poetry are important skill sets, especially when making medicines for the spirit.
Join me for this unique Aromatherapy training where you will deepen your relationship with aromatic botanicals, hone your intuition, expand your olfactory palette, and learn to blend potent medicine for the spirit.
This class is grounded in botanical anatomy and inspired by the relationship of humans and plants.
In addition to learning blending techniques, you will also learn about ritual and “magical applications” like scrying, anointing, clearing, and protection.
So, witch scientists, poets, shamans, medicine folk, and scent sculptors, this one’s for you.
