Earth and Sky Healing

Flowers, incense, perfume and essential oils - the aromatics of our world are one of the most precious gifts of Nature. They enhance our lives in a variety of ways,  from simple pleasures to complex medicine. The science of aromatherapy is to identify the chemical components of each oil, which defines their therapeutic applications. The art of aromatherapy is to know the "heart" of the aromatic components of each plant, to understand their character and nature, the unique gifts that each plant offers, and the type of people who can most benefit from using them.

This 10 week course focuses on two key aspects of aromatherapy:

1) Developing a deep understanding of 10 essential oils and where possible, the plants they are sourced from. This exploration will be unique in that we will be guided by the inherent wisdom in the plants themselves. As a result, we will be able to discern their most potent applications. Our vehicles into the heart of the medicine will be personal experience, intuitive knowing, and the shamanic journey.

2) The practical considerations of using essential oils as medicine, which includes methods of administration, dosages, safety considerations, etc.
...............................................................................................................................

Each class (other than the first one) will start with a review of the ‘findings’ of the essential oil we have been working with since the previous class. Then, approximately ½-1 hour will be spent covering basic aromatherapy theory and practice (applying to both animals and humans). The remaining class time will be dedicated to experiencing a new essential oil directly.

This course will be available both in the classroom and as a distance learning course. Distance learning students will receive the course content the same day as each in-class session is held, and will be asked to provide their results and findings in time for the following class. That way, all students work through the material during the same time-frame and can benefit immediately from our compiled data and findings.

Please note: the nature of this class is that, as a group, we will be developing a ‘body of knowledge’ of essential oils through direct perception and shamanic experience. There will be homework each week of continuing to ‘learn through experience’ the qualities of each essential oil. Students should consider this program a 10 week dedicated course of study. Also, each student must be comfortable to share their findings with the rest of group, both through in-class sharing, and the passing along of written materials. One of the key advantages of this program is our willingness to share and build upon each other’s findings. Note: This is a unique opportunity that is not available through any other aromatherapy program!

Time: 7:00 - 9:30 pm (approx.)

Thanks so much for offering such an in depth exploration into the nature of essential oils. The Art of Aromatherapy: A Journey into the Heart of the Medicine enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of the energetic use of essential oils, each oils “personality” and possible applications for use in daily life. A whole new world of learning and experience opened to me. This class was not only a great adventure but it was a journey of deep learning, personal healing and an expansion of my world view.
