June 28th / 6:30-8:30pm / Aroma, Psyche, Body: Creating New Narrative with Erika Galentin, MNIMH, RH (AHG)

Join clinical herbalist, aromatherapist, and distiller Erika Galentin of Sovereignty Herbs for a 2-hour live workshop exploring the role of aromatherapy as useful tool for supporting our minds and bodies on our journeys to wellness.

We will take a brief tour of the inner workings of our sense of smell, how aromas are perceived, and their influence on our memories and emotions followed by a discussion on how emotions such as grief and shame can have significant impacts on how our bodies function. We will also explore how we can use aroma from plants to create new emotions and memories through the power of the myths, metaphors, and stories they can carry to the psyche.

You will learn how aroma from plants, including but not limited to the use of essential oils, can be incorporated into daily acts of self-empathy. Come ready to indulge your senses with different types of aromatic preparations and activities including a tea-tasting and sampling of artisan distilled essential oils and hydrosols.
