Five Magical Days in the Red Red Rocks of Sedona
CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED
You use and trust aromatherapy, herbal tinctures, flower essences ...but do you truly connect with the genesis of their origin?
Join master teacher and distiller V. Joy Musacchio as she leads a unique and intensive experience in the harvesting and distilling of essential oils and hydrosols.
Along with an intimate group of students who share your commitment to the plants and trees and healing, harvest local plants and trees in the forests of Sedona. Walk among the powerful red rocks as you connect with pinion pine, utah juniper, rocky mount juniper ponderosa pine, snakeweed, and rosemary.
Once you’ve hand picked plant materials for distillation, experience first-hand what goes into the distillation of essential oils and hydrosols. Enjoy a rare opportunity to work with Copper Alembic stills to distill wildcrafted botanicals. Under the guidance of V. Joy, learn hydro-distillation, steam distillation, and combo distillation to extract essential oils and hydrosols from the plants you harvested in the Sedona Wilderness.
You will also learn the herbal applications and extractions of the plants and trees distilled. You will learn how to prepare herbal tinctures and flower essences and understand their differences and similarities.
In the classroom, discover the therapeutic and energetic properties of hydrosols, the powerful, natural result of essential oil distillation. Dive into the accessible chemistry and energetics of oils native to the Southwest. After spending time outdoors harvesting plants, you’ll discover a much deeper connection to the energetics of these beautiful, therapeutic plants and their relationship with the vortexes of the Sedona region.
During the intensive five day Harvest and Distillation Experience, connect with the strength of the resilience of Southwest oils — distilled from plants that withstand intense heat, long periods of no rain, very hungry insects and animals, plant viruses, parasites and fungi.
Come prepared to get your hands dirty, to end your day enveloped in the unique energy of Sedona’s vibrant region. This class is best-suited for those with a curious mind and a desire to learns in a hands-on environment.

Who would benefit by taking this Aromatherapy Course?
Well to be perfectly honest ANYONE who has a love for the plants and trees.
It is our belief and knowing that all conditions (physical, mental, spiritual, or emotional) can be addressed and helped by the proper and safe use of pure therapeutic grade essential oils. Essential oils also known as nature’s living energy, are the natural, aromatic volatile liquids found in shrubs, flowers, trees, roots, bushes, and seeds.
Hydrosols and Essential oils are extracted from aromatic plant sources via steam distillation. Essential Oils and are highly concentrated and far more potent than dry herbs. While essential oils often have a pleasant aroma, their chemical makeup is complex and their benefits vast—which makes them much more than something that simply smells good.
