Description:

As we grow older, life brings inevitable changes—some gentle, others deeply felt. The loss of a loved one, a pet, a home, mobility, or even a driver’s licence can stir unexpected waves of grief. This experiential workshop offers a compassionate space to explore how these everyday losses shape our emotional landscape.

Through guided reflection and the calming power of natural scents, participants will learn how aroma can help quiet the mind and soothe the heart. Engaging the body’s natural “rest and digest” state, you’ll discover simple ways to restore balance, build resilience, and find moments of peace amid life’s ongoing transitions.

Instructor: Margo Fletcher is a registered Aroma-Therapist who has been providing aromatherapy support both through her private practice and also as a volunteer for Nanaimo Community Hospice for over 20 years. Her knowledge of the sense of smell and how it is designed to keep us safe in the world, combined with her deep understanding of the affects of grief and loss as a Hospice volunteer, led her to create a bereavement support program that is still in use today.
