Workshop essential oil - the power of scent
A day where you learn to smell in a different way and begin to notice what scent truly does to you — physically, mentally, and emotionally. You are introduced to the language of plants and learn to listen to it. In this way, you experience how essential oils can become a meaningful part of your daily life.
A day filled with inspiration and sensory experiences, bringing you closer to the essence of plants and nature.
“Smelling, remembering, and responding – all happens in a single breath.”
What we will do
This day is focused on experiencing, sensing, and understanding. You will be introduced to essential oils, hydrosols, and carrier oils, and discover what makes these products so unique within aromatherapy.
In a storytelling and accessible way, I will guide you into the world of aromatic plants and how scent is extracted from them. Throughout the day, you move between knowledge and experience, gradually learning how to use essential oils in a practical and mindful way.
You will work hands-on with different oils and learn:
- how to consciously perceive scents and distinguish their qualities
- which oils resonate with you and why
- how to blend safely
- the do’s and don’ts of using essential oils
- practical tips for everyday use
Along the way, I share insights and background stories from nature, history, and practice — such as the enormous amount of roses needed for a single drop of rose oil, the colour and symbolism of plants, and traditional uses. In this way, you begin to see these precious products in a different light.
By working and experiencing for yourself, you develop trust in your senses and confidence in your choices.
At the end of the day:
- you smell more consciously and with greater nuance
- you know which oils bring value to you
- you are able to create simple blends yourself
- you have created a personal scent treatment to take home — a nourishment for body, mind, and soul
