Scent & Movement

A collaboration between scent and movement, taking us deeper inside of ourselves to release and uplift our mind, body and soul. Olivia will take us on a movement journey through yoga during which Nics from Petrichor Oils will add magical aromas to take us on a scent journey via our Limbic System.

Hence releasing stress and events from your body and mind.
