🌙 Sacred Senses: An Intro to the Alchemy of Scent + Sound for Practitioners🌙

August 29,
12-6pm
Fountain Valley, CA

This is practitioner-level immersion for those seeking to explore energy sciences.

Two ancient modalities. One profound immersion to explore energy medicine.

The body receives healing through every sense, yet we often underestimate the powerful ways nature combines scent and sound to provide deep energetic healing. What happens when the profound synergy of multisensory healing combines to elevate your healing arts practice? How does our nervous system take sensory input and help us through deeper transformations? Why have our ancestors and nearly every ancient culture used the art of sacred smoke, scent and sound to create a deeper connection to self and spirit?

Sacred Senses is a half-day immersive practicum for healing arts practitioners ready to expand their toolkit with the ancient, elemental medicine of sacred smoke, resin, and introductory level sound techniques.

This intimate introductory-level immersion is curated to support bodyworkers, doulas, healers, and aspiring practitioners to receive direct education and hands-on practice in two complementary modalities - sacred scent and sound in the energy body and learn how to weave them together in your existing healing practice.

You’ll work with:

🌙 Scent

  • The hidden language of sacred scents, resins and smoke. How they can instantly shift the mind, nervous system, energy field and sacred space.

  • Cultivating aromatic wisdom: discover the history, lore, magic and therapeutic applications of Seven Sacred Scents: Agarwood, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Myrrh, Opopanax, Benzoin and Copal.

  • Sacred scents and smoke as ancient technologies of ritual – shaping atmosphere, anchoring intention, marking thresholds and transitions, creating safety, presence, reverence and connection.

  • Using sacred scent to support somatic healing in self care and client care.

  • Building an aromatic practice for personal restoration and practitioner care.

🌙 Sound

  • Sound healing codes and the energy body

  • Energy sciences of sound and the nervous system

  • Energy fields and Bodywork with tuning forks

  • Intro level activation with Tibetan bowls: techniques, placements, and philosophy

  • Intuitive practice development

This is practitioner-level work for those seeking to explore energy sciences. Come ready to learn, practice, and be gloriously immersed!
