Category: Inspire & Connect
*Inspire & Connect provides retreats that help us pursue inner happiness, peace, freedom, and personal growth through wellness group activities. Here in a safe space, together we discuss ideas without judgment, and share stories we've never told a soul.
*Please note that this is an adult-exclusive retreat available to 16-year-olds and over.
"No longer let your brain control your mind. Instead, allow your intuition to flow freely and let inspirations grow."
Words, art, movements, and even scents can become a creation that help us express our emotions.
As the journey begins, let your heart settle in meditation. Then try to understand the environment through the sense of touch. This not only helps stabilize our mind but also opens up our perception, making it easier to follow our intuition during the fragrance creation process.
Allow yourself to let ideas flow with your intuition, as you use fragrances to keep a record of how you feel.
Once you return to the community in late autumn, let’s dive into the world of exploring the subconscious. Using scent as the main tool to help you engage in a sensory experience.
What To Expect
Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware.
Put down your phones and communicate with the world attentively.
Stay weird and stay unique.
Intuitive Scent Creation: Ashley
In this retreat, Ashley will be sharing her expertise in aromatherapy and guiding us to select scents that resonate with us. Together, we'll craft our own scented mists and massage oils.
Having traveled around the world, Ashley returned to Taiwan due to the pandemic. She started learning singing bowl sound therapy, accompanied by fragrances that bring a sense of calm and stability to spaces. This combination provided people with a more grounded sense of healing, leading Ashley to unexpectedly embark on a new path in life.
Passionate about delving into the connections between scents, spaces, and human frequencies, Ashley began pursuing natural fragrance products. To offer the highest quality scents and essential oils to people, she chose to personally engage in their creation, gradually led her to research on natural and harmless fragrance products and creating her own.
Throughout the process, Ashley discovered that each scent represents a unique moment. By choosing a smell based on your intuition, you can learn to think out of the box and follow your heart.
