Sacred Scents: A World Spiritual Practices Workshop will be offered Tuesday, March 12, 5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Aromatherapy has played an intrinsic role in spiritual and healing practices throughout history and through the centuries. In the Bible, frankincense, myrrh, cedarwood, and sandalwood is among the oils of happiness and alluded to as “aloes”. Sandalwood aloe and myrrh were brought by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea to bury Jesus. In Buddhist temples throughout eastern Asia, incense of locally available resins and woods are burned to honor deities and ancestors.
Join holistic healer and certified clinical aromatherapist Kat Wilcox for the Sacred Scents workshop to explore the world of aromatics.
Workshop participants will explore practices to connect with the subtle energetic aspects of natural plant aromatics, and how to use them safely and sustainably. Participants will also have the opportunity to sample a variety of essential oils from plants with a long history of sacred uses. Each participant will be invited to make an anointing oil for one’s own spiritual practices.
The workshop is free, advanced registration is required.
