“Wow - to say this course changed my life would be an understatement. Lauren was able to hold a container that valued the logistical, scientific understanding of smell and scent while bringing to the forefront our innate spiritual and ancestral connection to this sense. I learned how to trust my nose and my sense of smell has increased dramatically since taking this course. The connection has only grown stronger over the months following. Lauren also provides you with techniques and resources to be in control of your nervous system and stay in your power. If you are an essential oil fanatic, you may not be after taking this course. Lauren teaches the ethics of working with essential oils, how to trust a source, and prioritizing genuine connection over consumption. Less most certainly is more and I am so grateful for Lauren’s knowledge.”

“The data downloads received from the Aromatic Alchemy curriculum is a crucial part of my journey and in my opinion, a ‘must have’ in the arsenal of every alchemist, as essential oils are the emotional bodies of plants. Not only did it give me the confidence to harmoniously create magical potions, it also awakened more of the spiritual and soulful aspects of the alchemical processes. Our trusty guide and mentor Lauren Merrill, who is a young mage/wizard in her own right, lead us down a path of remembering how powerful and connected we really are with all of our plant allies, whilst doing it in one of the most balanced ways I’ve seen. (Yin/Yang) Everything from the scientific/physical parts to the ethereal/esoteric and more metaphysical facets of this wellness modality were covered and I am forever grateful for the beautiful beings I had a chance to connect with on this journey and of course to Lauren, for being the realest/ down-to-earth celestial nymph and creating a community around this utterly significant discipline.”

“Over the years, I have learned my fair share about essential oils, flower essences, and the like. No one pays homage to the Spirit of these modalities like Lauren. She is a wise and reverent guide, bringing the sacredness of our plant teachers and healers into the light of awareness. More than just a superficial gloss over of a topic that has become so buzzworthy - she encourages a deep and intimate connection with therapeutic plants, one oil at a time. There is something absolutely magical in the container that Lauren creates for her lessons. She even incorporates guided meditations, deepening and integrating the sessions even further while also connecting the student practitioner with the innate wisdom within. After participating in a², my own appreciation for the sacred bond between nature and humans has greatly amplified. It was oh so refreshing to be brought back into sacred relationship with the world of plants and their abundant therapeutic applications.”

“For those drawn towards Aromatic Alchemy, there are many treasures that await: there are technical elements instructing on how essential oils are made, and how aromatics interact with our brains and bodies. Through guided meditations and Lauren's calming voice, we alchemists connect with our emotional selves.. and over the weeks, this journey enables the creation of a deep bond with a specific plant, serving as both a teacher and connector. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise of all, was the communing that unfolded quickly and naturally. Individuals from all over the World, brought together by their curiosity to share, support, and learn. For that experience I am truly grateful for the creation of A², and encourage those interested to heed the calling.”
