Grief and Aromatics
Guest Teacher: Marika Fleri
As do her petals, gently does her scent unfold
Let the stories in your heart and soul be told
She whispers….. Hush….Can you hear her call?
She will hold you and nurture you through it all.
– Marika Fleri
Travel through the seven stages of grief, exploring how we can use aromatics as support.
During the past couple of years, the world has gone through a shake up and a reality check, which has inevitably brought about loss, insecurities and change in circumstances and direction for many of us. We are now going through a period of collective and individual grief as we are somehow trying to adapt to a new normal.
