Saturday, September 19
10 am-4 pm AROMAS CLASS
With Kate Leigh of Midheaven, Market Square, Portsmouth,New Hampshire
This aromas class is gathering near the time of the autumnal equinox. This is especially significant, given the role of balancing that essential oils, or plant distillates, play in our well-being. It is my idea that we will work together that day, combining the basics of our own specific personalities, as shown in our birth charts, with the basics of aromatherapy, as seen by familiarizing ourselves with the properties of the distillates. My facilitation will take the form of making available a copy of your birth chart to you in class, as compiled by information you will supply at the time you register for the class. I will also provide sets of handouts, specifying the distillates and their associated properties, but also their traditional associations with the elements, and planets. In the morning, we will familiarize ourselves with the oils/distillates on hand, approximately 3 dozen or so. Then we will move on to our birth charts, and talk over the basics of fire, earth, air, and water, and help each participant find these in their charts. Key words for the symbols used in the charts will be provided. Our goal will be to create a product, to be used, and recorded, so it can be duplicated by you, that is aroma-characteristic of you, according to your birth chart. The actual containers and oils/distillates used to make the products will be provided by the instructor. Please consider attending this class, even if you are a beginner in both aromas and astrology. We will keep things fun and simple, while learning, through contact and engagement, a great deal, about the essential oils/distillates, and about ourselves. Just in time to enter the close of the year! These products will help sustain our spirits.
Kate Leigh has been involved in aromatherapy for over 30 years, has taught dozens of workshops to nurses, massage therapists, and other interested people. She has also studied astrology for decades and has experience both with chart interpretation, and combining astrology with other therapies, such as aromatics. Kate enjoys a long term private practice in massage therapy, where she hand crafts her own products and regularly uses heated seashells as an imaginative inclusion in her bodywork.
