Workshop on scents and the sense of smell

10 €

Description

Hello, I’d like to invite you to an evening of scents—a warm gathering about smells and the enormous role they play in everyone’s life. The world of scents: from evolution to your home On Friday, November 6, at 18:00, I’ll be leading a workshop about smells and scents. I’m Dinara Urman, an olfactotherapist, psychologist, and specialist in body practices and aromatherapy. I’ve been studying the world of scents and practicing aromatherapy for more than 20 years. I’ll tell you how scents can instantly change your state and the atmosphere around you, and how they can help you understand yourself better and help yourself in any critical situation. It will be a cozy, interactive evening where: - you’ll learn why evolution gave us a sense of smell and why we have more than one; - I’ll tell you the history of scents: from the frankincense and myrrh of Ancient Egypt to modern perfume molecules, and whether natural is better—or not always; - we’ll explore the differences between perfumery, aromatherapy, and olfactotherapy (and how to use this knowledge for yourself); - we’ll play a little scent game and see how our perception of a smell changes when we give it a chance; - we’ll discuss what to do, and whether anything needs to be done, if you’re intolerant to a particular smell, and what that might be related to; - we’ll end the evening with a gentle scent meditation. You don’t need to know anything in advance—just bring your curiosity and your nose 🙂 Important: I’m not selling anything except my knowledge. If you have essential oils, bring them along. If not, I’ll tell you where to get them, what to look for when choosing them, etc. Where - Домик друзей (Casa dos Amigos) Entry costs - 10€ Registration
