For thousands of years, sacred oils have marked moments of transition, blessing and transformation. Long before fragrance became perfume, anointing was a ritual of presence—an invitation to honour the body, awaken the senses and reconnect with something greater than ourselves.
In this immersive workshop, Yvette Sitten explores the ancient art of anointing through the story and symbolism of Mary Magdalene, weaving together history, mythology and wisdom traditions from across cultures. Drawing on more than two decades of research into Goddess traditions and Aurora Alchemy, she reveals how scent, ritual and the natural world can become meaningful practices for cultivating presence, creativity and inner balance.
Participants will experience a contemporary anointing ceremony using botanical essences, discovering how this timeless practice continues to offer a gentle pathway towards reflection, beauty and transformation.
