This experiential workshop led by Pat Antoniak and Beverley Hawkins will take you on a journey of discovery. We will explore the individual Goddess Myths and Folklore and relate them to modern day psychology. Through discussion, visualization and inhalation of the unique essential oil synergies created for each Goddess, we will explore the significance and influences each have upon our lives and relationships.

BCAPA Professional Development in the Okanagan ! Sunday, October 4th, 2009 How Perfumers Sniff, Think & Create Introduction to Natural Perfumery for Practicing Aromatherapists Natural perfumery is an ancient art form that has reemerged after nearly 100 years of hibernation. While natural perfumery shares many raw materials with aromatherapy, the aesthetics, principles and techniques are fundamentally different and require approaching the materials from a different perceptive. In this one day seminar, Ayala Sender of Vancouver-based Ayala Moriel Parfums, will lay the principles of natural perfumery while answering questions such as: What are the differences between an aromatherapy synergy and a natural perfume? What are top, heart and base notes? How is a natural perfume constructed? How to sniff like a perfumer? These topics, as well as olfaction and perfume genealogy, will be explored through hands-on examples and experiencing both familiar and new essences with this fresh perspective. Location of workshop will be: The Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy #201 - 3400 - 30th Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 2E2 Date: Sunday, Oct 4th, 9am-4pm If you would like more information, please contact Sonja at 250-550-4727 or sonja@cascademassagetherapy.com Registration Fee Members $85 " Non-members $110 Attendees will receive 6 CE credits for this event.
