Program

Moving out of the head and into the heart, you will start to recognize your connection to all things and you will intuitively open up to start operating from your true self, which is love. Work with the law of attraction with the mindset of positivity and scent, as like attracts like. This is the space where magic and miracles occur.

Create your own Compass of the Heart natural scent and express your emotions and creativity with an aroma that reflects your style, mood, and desire! Smell is the most powerful and emotional of all the senses. Learn about the olfactory system and the basics of natural perfumery while crafting your bespoke, or signature perfume.

You will explore what essential oils are, scent categories, notes and accords, and how to choose your own essential oils for a customized perfume blend. There will also be a discussion on the difference between natural and synthetic materials and why we will be formulating with natural and organic oils.

Your favorite aromas will come to life like you've never experienced them before, as you gain a basic understanding of perfumery. In the process of formulating your bespoke perfume you will be creating a finished product, bottled and packaged to take home and cherish. Our yoga practice and hiking in the beautiful Red Rocks in Sedona will support and inspire this process.

Instructor

Discovering and blending unique and sensational perfumes from essential oils is Marna's passion! Her signature skin care line, called Monsoon Nectar, and more than 30 years in the salon and facial business has always had an emphasis in aromatherapy / perfumery and organic product formulation.

World travels have expanded her perfumer's organ - from the familiar to the exotic and everything in between; think woodsy pines, fresh and citrusy, tropical to intoxicatingly sensual, oriental, amber, and animalistic scents. She uses a wide range of natural materials to create truly unique and bewitching perfumes and so can you!

Marna is a cosmetologist and yoga teacher merging beauty and the healing arts in an East-meets-West approach to spirituality and lifestyle. The better you feel, the more expansive and connected you are. Together, you will explore mental and physical transformation for self-healing and better health and inspiration to make a bespoke perfume.

Marna is the owner of Yoga In Sedona and Monsoon Nectar Chakra Aroma Skin Care and is influenced by world culture and art. Travels to Mexico, Europe, and Asia further expanded her creative approach to yoga and meditation, which she will share with you. More beauty, wellness, and fun fuel her passion to help others meet their potential for a greater sense of well being and radiance, and simply connect on a more meaningful level.

Harness the vibration of Sedona, the energy of the Red Rocks, and the power of essential oils for the ultimate inspiration to your creativity. Self-care will nurture, revive, and rejuvenate your spirit and reveal your Compass of the Heart bespoke perfume.

Receive the cosmic energy of Sedona to recharge your biorhythms with aromatherapy, yoga, movement, and meditation and put this message in a bottle to take home as your signature perfume.

Meet virtually via Zoom or Facetime before you come, so that Marna can customize your retreat.

Marna believes in feeling better and getting inspired through the tried and true benefits of good health, a green lifestyle, and daily self-care, which can be as simple as a bath or a walk. Yoga, body treatments, and other healing modalities support balance and freedom in your mental, physical, and spiritual being, and the fusion of all of this self-care is bath culture. Honor big nature and anoint the body with essential oils, which inspires Marna's mantra to "Get in touch with your skin!"

During rest and rejuvenation, you will find your greatest creativity. Let this time guide you to your true north!
