Workshops
Empowered Beauty & Health
Use your purchasing power as a reflection of your values by supporting the health of the planet, and all the life forms it supports (special attention on plants, deforestation and endangered species used in skincare products and essential oils). Learn what to look for on labels and ingredients, collect resources and applicable information to assist you in acting as a conscious consumer. Important information for anyone interested in environmental sustainability efforts using beauty and health products, botanical oils, essential oils and more. Great information for students studying esthetics, cosmetology & massage.

Animism & Spiritual Practices with Plants
An inclusive workshop centered on how we form relationships with the plants we associate with spiritual ceremonial and ritual practices. Together we will create an herbal smoke bundle, or a botanical anointing oil, while learning about the plants chosen for the activity. We'll contemplate the importance of knowing a name (Genus and species), where specified plants live, as well as explore cultural misappropriation and endangered species used in common ceremonial retail products. Let's contemplate the healing power of plants and how to be in right relationship with nature.

Using our Senses for Self Care
Let us begin with breath and greet our ears with sound, relaxing our senses with botanical offerings. This training looks at how to use our senses throughout the day and create caring moments of awareness in support of our body mind and soul. We will learn how aromatherapy can stimulate or relax our nervous system. From Shiatsu to essential oils, with focus on our natural surroundings we will practice simple steps to care for our Self using sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch.
