Program:

On day 1 Madeleine will take you on an aromatic journey to relieve a range of symptoms that are known to reduce quality of life and disturb the dying stage. We will look at strategies for pain and dyspnea, nausea and oral discomfort, and address skin and wound care. Fusion AromaTherapy™ is Madeleine’s multidimensional aromatherapy concept, using precious aromatics, including essential oils and CO2 extracts. Blending for symptoms in end of life requires insights, caution and skill. Madeleine will offer her views and share recipes, illustrated by compelling cases.
.
On day 2 Jonathan will dive deep into the emotional and spiritual aspects of the very last stages of life, a sacred time that requires deep felt compassion and wish to help patients and their loved ones cope. A range of precious oils will be discussed that resonate with acceptance, with anointing rituals, the passing process and grief, with letting go yet holding close in a different way. With his typical calm gentle approach Jonathan will guide you through this holy and intense time at the edge of life.
