Sharing is caring 😉

🌿 Are you a professional in health care with basic knowledge and skills in aromatherapy? Or are you an aromatherapist or herbalist? Are herbs and essential oils your passion?

🌿 Have you always wanted to visit the French Provence in the early summer with its vast lavender and other medicinal plant fields, and experience destillation and essential oil products with all your senses?

🌿 Would you like to know (even) more about the different types of Lavender, about Helichrysum or Clary, about holistic care themed at tree oils of Provence, and "anchoring" those amazing essential oils in your life and those of our frail elderly?

🌿 Are you in for a trip oozing ‘joie de vivre’ to beautiful areas within Provence with its villages and fields, its terraces and fountains, excellent food and lovely drinks, wonderful scents and colours, and for fascinating excursions with some fragrant surprises, inspired by educators who are passionate experts in their field?

Please visit its own page at KICOZO.INFO (see the link on the main menu bar) for all the information!
The program will be in English as the main language (supported in Dutch/German/French).

Write me an email or PM for information or registration soon to enjoy ensure your seat and benefit from the Early Bird Discount until the end of this month.

Of course you can extend your trip as much as you want to truly explore Provence or Europe further.
Just saying 😏.

I'm so looking forward to it all.
And... sharing is caring!

Have a wonderful day!
Madeleine.
