Aromatic Medicine: The Art of Aromatherapy Program Immersion is a synergy of science and magic, delivering the valuable information needed to engage with this powerful medicine with ethical and compassionate energy.
Through a subjective and objective discovery, participants are led through an aromatic educational journey that offers the experiential learning to develop empathy and relationship with the natural world and aromatic substances.
The volatile components of botanicals have a fragrant, aromatic energy and a profound influence on holistic wellness. Extracting these phytochemical molecules creates what is known as essential oils as well as other byproducts such as hydrolats. Essential oils are the highly concentrated distillates of certain herbs, woods, barks, flowers and resins and hence demand our respect when we work with them for our health.
Essential oil extractions are not the only way in which we can experience the aromatic medicine benefits that plants have to offer. Working with whole plant aromatic medicine brings an ethical lens to this often concerning industry. Our program is committed to providing a balanced holistic viewpoint into the world of Aromatic Medicine by offering exposure to whole plant aromatic experiences in tandem to discovering all the aspects of volatile plant phyto-chemical extraction.
PROGRAM DETAILS
Aromatic Medicine: The Art of Aromatherapy Program Immersion is a 75 hour program provided live in the classroom, both onsite in Winlaw, BC and online via our private student classroom. We meet for a total of 12 classes and move through an experiential education journey through all aspects of aromatic medicine.
Meeting over the course of 10 months offers the students of this program the necessary space and time to integrate the learned content before arriving at the next class to layer the experience. It is estimated that the home learning portion of this program be equal to the hours spent in classroom to engage deeply and grow through the content.
Ideal for Practitioners who wish to include essential oils in their practice, this program is for anyone who works with essential oils and aromatic compounds, professionally or for personal use. Students who wish to gain a completion certificate / continuing education credits are required to submit a final paper and 3 applicable case studies for review within 12 weeks of finishing the course.
