Aromatherapy Safari

Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of plant based healing with this day long retreat. Step into the peace and tranquility of the Sensory Garden at Gathoni Farm in Tigoni and learn about the craft of making essential oils.

The program:
Begin the morning with a farm safari, where you’ll walk through the tea plantation, and enjoy an immersive experience into the world of nature and agriculture. Exploring Kenya’s one and only sensory garden will help you learn more about the medicinal and healing nature of herbs and flowers.

You’ll have a leisurely stroll back to the farm classroom, where together we will then pack the copper distillation unit with fresh lavender or rosemary, and begin the process of extracting essential oils from plant matter, as well as making hydrosol water. A step by step overview will be given on the technique, history and process of this traditional method.

With the distillation filling the air with fragrance, you will then participate in an aromatherapy class. You’ll be guided through the health benefits of essential oils, as well as create a healing aromatherapy mist from the morning distillations’ yield.
