Event Flow
💨 Opening Grounding & Breathwork: Soothing the Nervous System
Begin with a guided breathwork session designed to regulate the nervous system, bring clarity to the mind, and create space for deeper self-exploration.
📖 Guided Journaling: Unraveling Emotional & Ancestral Threads
Journaling is a powerful tool for self-awareness and release. Through a guided writing practice, you’ll explore:
- What emotions am I carrying that are mine, and which might have been passed down?
- What scents or memories feel deeply connected to my past, family, or childhood?
- How can I use breath and aroma to shift or soften these emotions?
🌿 Aromatherapy Smelling Stations: Engaging the Power of Scent
Experience an interactive journey through aromatherapy smelling stations, each featuring essential oils designed to evoke different emotional states. Engage with oils that promote grounding, heart opening, or energetic clearing and reflect on their impact.
✨ Essential Oil Energetics: Balancing the Body & Mind with TCM
This session integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine’s meridian system with aromatherapy, using essential oils on specific acupoints to restore balance.
This treatment uses gentle activation of acupoints with essential oils, tailored to your personal energy needs, to support harmony and overall well-being.
🌀 Discussion: Inherited Trauma & Emotional Imprints
A reflective, non-judgmental discussion on how emotions, fears, and behavioral patterns are inherited and how we can break cycles through awareness, scent, and breath.
