Continuing Education Classes & Workshops

Working with Pendulums - A Tool to the Heart of You

As we continue to evolve into more empowered living, pendulums are one tool that people are feeling drawn to in order to assist in tapping into their Higher Self/Essence/Sub-Conscious, etc.

Pendulums are great for receiving answers from within. It's not about trusting the pendulum, but about trusting yourself. The pendulum can provide a good second opinion, as it uses your own energy. Using a pendulum is a path of surrender to your higher self & by doing that, you put aside your ego and that part that wants to be right and receive a universal, higher good, heart answer instead.

  • How to cleanse, bless & care for your pendulum.
  • How to accurately get answers with your pendulum.
  • How to use a pendulum in healing work-Reiki, Chakra Balance
  • Additional printed material featuring pendulum properties, pendulum uses & some history of the pendulum

In this workshop, vibrational aromatherapist, Debbi Quinn, will help you to create a custom Mala inspired by your personal intentions. Meditating on a mala brings peace of mind. Traditionally, it is a garland of 108 beads or seeds used for prayer and meditation in the Buddhist & Hindu traditions. There are so many explanations out there for the mystical #108. Here are a few of my personal favorites:

  • 108 is divisible by the sum of its digits
  • There are 108 nadis and marma points in the body
  • 1 stands for spirit or your god/goddess source, 0 stands for emptiness or completeness in spiritual practice, & 8 stands for infinity or eternity
  • The numbers 9 & 12 are considered by many to be very sacred numbers, and 9 x 12 = 108
  • The Heart Chakra: The chakras are intersections of energy lines & there are said to be 108 energy lines converging to form the heart chakra
  • Time & Feelings: Some say that there are 108 feelings, with 36 being related to the past, 36 to the present, and 36 to the future
Each attendee will make a Mala Necklace using sacred Rudraksha beads and chosen gemstones, amulets, charms, tassels & spacers. Please bring a journal and pen if you wish to take notes.

Chakra Awakening with Essences, Oils & Stones-3 CE's

Cutting the Cords of Negative Energy...This workshop is a creative exploration of the chakras with essential oils and a self-healing meditation. It is suitable for anyone interested in exploring aromatherapy from an emotional or soul healing perspective. We will delve into each of the 7 major Chakra points, their individual characteristics, the importance of keeping each open & healthy, effective ways to balance & enhance each center as well as our aura & the importance of ritual in our daily lives.

We consider the roots, the womb space and the Earth Star, our connection with Earth and our vitality. The lower chakras ground us in reality and the manifestation of our ideas. They bring us into connection with this Earth, allowing us to truly own our space and feel we belong. We will come to understand ourselves in terms of our boundaries as people energetically, physically and sensually.

The middle chakras bring balance to the body; ignited by the fire of confidence from the solar plexus, the pulsing wisdom of the heart and the voice to bring this energy into reality. The voice of the heart is essential to bring healing and love into our cells and our lives yet so often it is blocked through not having had the experiences that it has needed or because the mind dismisses its wisdom. Healing the heart and giving it a voice is such a powerful way to bring your true essence into your life and make it feel more effortless.

We will apply blended oils to use in the meditation and learn about the vibrational frequency of essential oils to rebalance.

This is a very special workshop for those journeying into their energetic, emotional and spiritual bodies. It will bring insights into how the energy is flowing in each of these areas and give you new tools and awareness to connect with your body in a loving and healing way. We end with a personal color visualization and grounding meditation to remove blockages, cut cords, balance the aura and strengthen your auric shield. This is considered Ayurvedic Energy Release, similar to the feeling of going through sweat lodge. Bring Blanket or yoga mat

Student Comments:

"This class was so much fun. As a massage therapist I am always looking for ways to expand my practice, but I didn't know I was going to have so much fun while learning." Thanks!

"I am so thankful that I participated in your class & met you! I learned so much- & feel so much more informed. This class was the formal information I was missing. I look forward to taking part 2. I will go to England the beginning of Sept- and I know that Aromatherapy is widely practiced in the UK. I would also be interested in blending classes or a part time intern of sorts if you ever have a need for help, even packing. I am like a sponge- & feel this will help me in my skincare business as well. I know this is a life long educational process. Finally, would you kindly forward a case study form. I will be ordering some essences & a diffuser soon." Sincerely, Alex

"I hope to be able to take Aromatherapy Level 2 soon. Please send me more information. I have done some basics but am always open to more instruction, especially from my favorite Herb Lady." Thanks! "Debbi's teaching style is one of demanding patience. She is incredibly good at encouraging students to get the basics down then build knowledge and experience on to that strong foundation. The mix of theoretical and practical exercises really helped me get a firm grounding in aromatherapy -knowledge that I could not have acquired on my own. I highly recommend her classes."

"Debbi creates some of the most beautiful natural blends available. Her aromatherapy course is comprehensive and highly organized. The classes are unique in that she bridges both her artistic talents and the foundational principles of aromatherapy"

"I would say that this has been one of the best classes I have had the opportunity to attend. The amount of material presented, the professional manner in which you conducted the class, and your depth of understanding is just top shelf. This class has afforded me the opportunity to learn from the bottom up about essential oils and aromatherapy. This learning curve is huge, but thru your class you have made it interesting enough that I want to learn more, and more." Thank you again
