Antonia Jover SENSORY AROMATHERAPY WORKSHOP: OLFACTORY MEDITATION
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
- Location: Espai Buit
Summary
"This three-hour experiential session, led by Antonia Jover, offers a unique opportunity to explore the relationship between our sense of smell and the aromas of plants through essential oils.
The practice of ""Sensory Olfaction"" (developed by Christian Escriva in France) involves prolonged and attentive smelling of essential oils, with the primary goal of discovering, at least in part, the ""soul"" or ""Being"" of the plant. This is a form of direct knowledge. Through its essential oil and thanks to our sense of smell, the plant communicates with us, about itself... and also about ourselves.
Beyond fostering this beautiful connection between two living beings, Sensory Olfaction is rooted in a meditative state. Since it involves mindful observation, it may also be described as “Olfactory Meditation.” This practice offers numerous benefits, which we will explore together.
This gathering also provides the chance to get to know some of the aromatic plants that shape the Majorcan landscape. We will explore a selection of essential oils hand-made on the island.
The workshop programme, will cover the following topics:
Workshop Topics:
- Essential oils: a brief introduction.
- The sense of smell: discover your greatest ally in fostering wellbeing and health.
- Olfactory meditation and its health benefits."
