About this Event

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, immerse yourself in Scent & Stillness, a sensory retreat designed to nurture emotional well-being through aromatherapy, breathwork, restorative yoga, mindful tea rituals, and guided journaling.

This experience integrates:
✨ Essential Oil Energetics – A Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to restoring energetic flow
πŸŒ€ Ancestral Healing – Understanding inherited emotions and patterns
πŸ“– Journaling for Reflection – A guided writing practice to explore personal and ancestral imprints
πŸ’¨ Breathwork & Stillness – A journey to regulate the nervous system and cultivate inner calm with restorative yoga.

Event Flow

πŸ’¨ 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.

πŸ“– 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.

πŸŒ€ 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.

🍡 Tea Ritual: Sip, Savor & Integrate
Enjoy a mindful tea ritual with a handcrafted herbal infusion designed to support the nervous system and promote clarity. We’ll explore tea as a tool for mindfulness and ancestral connection, allowing its warmth to anchor us in the present.

πŸ‘ Restorative Stillness & Gentle Movement
Sink into restorative postures and subtle movement, allowing the experiences of the evening to integrate within the body. This session will focus on energetic release, deep relaxation, and nervous system healing.

πŸ› Pop-Up Apothecary: Curated Wellness for Emotional Support
Explore a thoughtfully curated pop-up apothecary featuring:
🌱 Handcrafted aromatherapy blends for emotional balance
✨ Aura-clearing mists & transgenerational healing oils
πŸƒ Botanical-infused teas to support nervous system regulation
πŸŒ€ Ritual tools & acupoint oil blends for energetic flow

✨ Special Gift: Each guest will receive a custom aromatherapy roller or mist infused with an essential oil blend tailored to their unique emotional and energetic needs.
