Maybe you've been anointing for years.
Maybe you've looked up a holy anointing oil recipe, or read every book on sacred oils you could find, or tried to figure out what on earth “seven sacred oils” refers to.
And, just maybe, you noticed everything you find stops just short of the depths you're seeking.
(raises hand 🙋♀️)
The truth is, there really isn't a lot out there on the art and practice of sacred aromatics.
There are plenty of trainings in aromatherapy and perfumery…but those don't explore the sacred, ritual, historical, and soul-level transformation that is the focus of a program like Sacred Aromatics Foundations.
There are very few anointing programs that I know of, and they tend to be devoted to a single tradition, like the Gnostic Christian path of the myrrhophores or ancient Egyptian temple practices.
Others cover a few basics — such as how to connect with an oil and place it on the energy body — but the rest of the program is more about personal growth through anointing rather than the aromatic practice itself.
All of the above are beautiful offerings, yet they often leave folks with this sense that there's more.
Can you relate? It's like you know something is missing, but it's so far removed from our current cultural moment that you can't even start to articulate this inner hunger.
At least, that's how I felt in my early years with aromatic plants.
I did all the things — Got my 610hr clinical aromatherapy certification. Studied professional natural perfumery with multiple leading perfumers. Read whatever I could on chakras and oils and planetary associations and energetics…
And I still felt like I wasn’t getting to the depths of what the art and practice of sacred aromatics really is.
So I had to create a new path. I studied shamanism and Western esoteric traditions. Meditation, channeling, and the oracular arts. Energy healing and Daoist alchemy.
Eventually, the two paths converged — the intensive aromatic studies and the spiritual trainings creating a practice both new and ancient.
Which brings me to what this training really is, and why it's sooo different from anything else out there.
We start with an animist, ecological ground. We meet the plants as living, spiritual, conscious allies who have undergone an alchemical process to become sacred aromas, a process they can guide us through, too.
We turn towards the ancestors. We investigate the true aromatic rituals of ancient temple tenders and myrrh-bearers, the pharmakon that bridged art and spirit and healing, and the cultural contexts that created these practices.
We work with energy fields. We go beyond our own emotional process into the highly complex fields of energy that create us, our spaces, and our lives. We learn to shift these fields into greater coherence through true botanical alchemy.
In short, this isn't a program focused just on personal growth, a few essential oils, or an anointing practice that feels good but lacks depth.
This is a program that dives into the ecological, ancestral, spiritual, and energetic art of partnering with scent for total soul-level transformation, for yourself and the greater systems you live within.
We live in radically disruptive times. The world so many of us grew up with is dissolving, and we aren't yet sure what's coming next.
For those who already have deep and meaningful spiritual practices, who already feel called to work with sacred oils and scent and smoke, who know the world is alive and want to listen more deeply to the wisdom of the plants…we need you.
You are the ones being called to lead us through this collective metamorphosis, and scent is the sense that will be your most invaluable ally through this process.
This program is for anyone who wants to become a grounded, clear vessel of spiritual support during these wild times. If you've made it this far, I'm guessing you know this is exactly what you've been waiting for.
