The emotional and cognitive experiences triggered by our sense of smell are immediate and complicated, tied to memory, our bodies, and our life struggles.

The Nose Knows is a workshop designed to facilitate curiosity about your internal self-states. Those states of body and mind that fluctuate based on where you are, what you're doing, and who you are with. 

We will explore the value of somatic awareness and the utility of our sense of smell as a guidepost to understanding our needs, wants, and desires.

Using mindfulness prompts, group discussions, and writing exercises, You'll be invited to explore odor and learn about the physiological effects of essential oils on the nervous system, memory, and mood. Then, drawing from your experience of the oils' impact on your body and mind, you'll create a uniquely personalized cologne to incorporate into your daily rhythms and habits.

In this way you will explore connections between smell and need, discernment and care.
