Toivo Center

Join this hands-on workshop exploring how essential oils can support emotional well-being and nervous system regulation. Participants will learn how scent interacts with the brain to influence mood, memory, and the body’s stress response. We will talk about the therapeutic properties of specific essential oils, safe application methods, and how these tools can be used in daily routines for grounding, focus, and calm.
The workshop includes a creative make and take activity where participants will craft their own Stress Relief Roller and optional calming Room Spray to bring home and begin using right away. No prior experience with essential oils is needed, just curiosity and an open mind.
Register early as space is limited for this offering.

*Please note this is a scent-based offering. This will not be scent-free.*

Write it. Speak it. Transform it.
This is more than a writing workshop. It’s a gathering space for healing, expression, and creative self-discovery.
Together, we’ll use imaginative and reflective prompts—
✦ What color am I feeling?
✦ How I butterfly and where do I fly?
to explore our emotional landscapes, inner voices, and personal truths.
Writing will be done on a variety of papers, colorful, textured, expressive—to help connect more deeply with our senses, feelings, and creative flow.
Through storytelling and sharing (always optional), we’ll begin to decide what we want to carry forward, our wisdom, resilience, and power—and what we are ready to symbolically burn, the weight, the shame, the stories that no longer serve us.
Rooted in mutual support, connection, and self-determination, this space honors your voice, your pace, and your power to choose. We believe that healing is not something done to us, it’s something we co-create through presence, courage, and care.
What you can expect:
✦ Guided writing & generative prompts
✦ A variety of materials for expressive writing
✦ A supportive, trauma-informed environment
✦ Optional open mic sharing
✦ Reflective rituals to release and reclaim
✦ Tools you can carry into daily life for ongoing care and creativity
