Join Katie Vie for a scent ritual that will reveal the ways your archetypal wisdom is guiding you. You’ll meet Katie's "Darkwood Archetypes" through guided meditation, blind smelling of her signature essential oil blends, and simple creative writing. By the end of this experience you’ll have clarity about how the facets of your own wisdom are supporting and inspiring you. This is a great experience for beginners who are brand new to aromatherapy or Katie's cosmology, and also for seasoned Darkwood scholars who are ready to refresh their archetypal alignment.
You will leave this experience with all 7 archetype reference cards, a wheel of the year poster, and your worksheet and scent strips.

Blending essential oils is as poetic as it is precise. This unique introductory Aromatherapy training will kindle your relationship with aromatic botanicals, encourage intuition, and expand your olfactory palette.
This class is grounded in botanical anatomy and inspired by the relationship of humans and plants. We will cover ten different essential oils and how to properly store, blend, and administer them.
Each student will design and create their own personalized Aromatherapy blend and design a protocol for using it. This blend will be for personal use.
Instructor: Katie Vie
By aligning with the wisdom of the season, you’ll set yourself up for ease, insight, and wonderment. This season we are working with the energy of the Warrior archetype and the later half of Summer. For the attunement, you’ll make yourself comfortable on a massage table (clothes-on), and prepare to receive. Katie Vie will use hands-on techniques to enliven energy points on the body that correspond with the season’s wisdom, and offer guided meditation so that you can hear the deep wisdom of your psyche.
