We enjoyed our first visit from a relaxation therapist, Janet from Relax Generations. She guided an aromadough session which involved making the dough by scratch, then adding a preferred colour and then adding some aromatherapy oil. As everyone kneeded the dough, the relaxing aromas of lavender and bergamot was released into the air, which smelled amazing.
Janet mindfully guided each stage to connect the activity to the senses of sight, touch and smell. The people living here also recalled memories which the smells reminded them of.
Once they made the dough, they could get their creative juice flowing with molding shapes and pressing pattens into the dough. For those who didn't want to make it, pre-made dough was passed around to smell and feel.
