We just hosted an epic Transformational Botanical Retreat at our home in Ashland, Oregon!
Here are a few highlights of how we explored the world’s finest essential oils and botanical extracts. We are still basking in the afterglow, and we hope to see you next year!
It was three and a half days of deep connection, plant alchemy, and our beautiful Essential Oil Wizardry community members. We had an epic crew show up this year!
Some of the many highlights included:
- Nature: A group walk across our lush 23 acres—nature’s beauty was the perfect backdrop to our healing practices.
- Communing With Essential Oils: Vaporizing pure essential oils like Patchouli, Sandalwood, Frankincense Sacra, Tulsi, and Respire. We explored novel and unique ways of enjoying the plants!
- Party Potions & Sonic Activations: Experiencing Kava, Cacao, and Kanna combined with a sonic activation ceremony, followed by an inspired late-night dance party!
- Home Cooking: Delicious home-cooked meals by Ellen, gently nourishing us from within.
- Peak Experiences: An ecstatic dance followed a sunny day of crafting a new custom blend called “Peak Experience” which was created outside with the backdrop of rolling hills in beautiful sunlight —a truly euphoric moment!
- Group Creativity: Each person crafted their own custom ceremonial creations, botanical perfume or therapeutic blend. So much love and intention went into this process, and each one was very worthy of their own professional label!
- Dance, Play, & Joy: We had an epic late night dance party – so much fun! (It was actually unplanned on our itinerary.) Friends busted out juggling and flow toys too, which made for a unique experience of dancing and play inside the Enchanted Dome.
Making Custom Blends together!
Such an epic crew!
One of my personal favorite moments was sharing my private collection of rare oils like Saffron CO2 Extract and Pinion Pine Cone essential oils, adding a sensory richness to the experience that words can’t describe. We also explored the scents of our Exquisite Perfumes collection.
The sense of community was vibrant. With old friends and new Alchemy Club members, alike, we shared many spontaneous moments of joy. In fact, one of our guests had waited years to attend a Transformational Botanical Retreat, and finally, the timing was perfect to co-create this unforgettable experience.
