Healing the Spirit Masterclass

Masterclass can be accessed via the Perfect Potion education platform for 12 months upon purchase.

Continuing Professional Development Certificate available on completion.

We explore the premise that aromatherapy is a shamanic practice. In order to do this, we examine the origins of shamanism, examine the role of shamanism as a healing practice, and identify ways in which shamanism can be integrated into contemporary healing practices.

We investigate the role of entheogens and psychointegrators used within shamanic practices, and consider whether essential oils can be classified as entheogens. While it is unlikely that any of the commonly used essential oils lead to an altered state of consciousness, such as that often experienced with many of the powerful psychoactive substances available, neuroscience has identified that many of the biological pathways by which essential oils influence our psyche and modify our brain chemistry are similar to those of altered states of consciousness achieved in shamanic practices.

In this masterclass, we will:

explore the relationship between spirituality and wellbeing examine the importance of spirituality within a holistic healing framework
examine the relationship between aromatherapy, new age practices and spirituality
explore the role of the shaman in traditional and modern cultures
examine why the principles of shamanic practices need to be included in contemporary healing practices
address important issues associated with indigenous rights and cultural appropriation of shamanic practices
examine the neuroscience and therapeutic benefits of altered states of consciousness
examine the role of essential oils as entheogens and psychointegrators
