As we all know, grief is a natural and necessary part of our human experience. It is a process that can take time, and finding peace can be a difficult journey.

This workshop is about Aromatic Heartwork that inspires transformation, providing a safe and gentle space so you can unwind, feel nurtured, nourished and aligned.

Since ancient times, flowers, plants and herbs have held symbolic and often secret meanings. They have been widely regarded and used in a variety of therapies as symbols of the soul, to unlock our intuition. Essential oils have the capacity to create an opening in our psyche, enabling us to energetically and cognitively make a shift in our perception about certain situations in our lives.

What to expect:

• Tapping into the wisdom of nature as you create your unique personalised essential oil blend which you take home

• Learning practical relaxation techniques on your hands, face and ears combined with breathing techniques

• A short meditation 

• Connecting within and re-kindling our intuition through journaling

• Love | Grace | Gratitude practice – ‘mindfulness in a moment’ through gentle arm movement

Join me for an interactive Sunday afternoon where we will explore our breath, essential oils and their power to assist you in your daily life and learn practical relaxation techniques to assist you on your path forward.
