Greetings :)

1 April 2010

This isn't an April Fool's joke! But you may be an April Fool to pass these special up ;0

Robin is back in a new and vibrant way and ready to teach! I’m offering several Recession Buster Savings on Aromatherapy Workshops for the next three months which you are going to want to take advantage; a great opportunity to receive your Continuing Educational hours or just soak in the knowledge and wisdom of the plant kingdom at prices I’ve never offered before and most likely never will again.

I’m offering these next three months to contribute back to my community of plant lovers and locals as a Love offering; representing the endings “of that which has come before” and where we find ourselves financially at this time “I know it has been a difficult time for many local massage therapists”. I’m also not sure about where I’ll be bearing on my path after summer, as the last two years have been personally transitional and ultimately transformational and with finishing the book this summer my plans are to go to Seattle, Washington for a couple/few months. However, I plan to return back to Sedona but more open to new possibilities within my future than ever before. So before I do step into this vast new frontier I wanted to offer these courses here in Sedona before I leave. I do hope you seize the moment and use this to your benefit to continue your education in this realm which will surely assist you in massage with the gained knowledge of this healing plant kingdom “in your tool box.”

I do have to meet my minimum students (10) in order to do these workshops at these prices; however once I have met my requirements I will certainly be open to taking more students if my accommodations and personal sense of flow for material will allow for a larger group of students. However advance registration is recommended as there are reference material booklets to prepare, essential oils to purchase for course use, paperwork of certificates/evaluation forms/transcript forms/receipts of workshop for your tax purposes and a space to acquire for these workshops which are comfortable and assure a good learning environment.

My hope is to fill these workshops full of all the beautiful, shiny and loving people I know as well as those whose synchronous path choice to be a part of all who do indeed emerge into the group we share. I will pick our learning environment/accommodations as soon as I have 10 registered students for each course offered.

If you are from out of town, I do have an accommodations list “places to stay in Sedona” ; a wide variety of places from cheap – moderate – to pricey (some of the pricey places can be shared with a few friends and then they become very affordable and ultra comfortable with great amenities and extras). I do know I will pick a West Sedona Location, I will select the location the last day of “to register” notice date, at which time I will know if my minimum student/client requirements are met. I will then call those registered to give you the good news of great local for workshop: name of place, location and directions for the workshop.

I will require a check for full amount to hold your place “post dated for the first date of the workshop” the check will serve as your deposit. Your checks will NOT be cashed or deposited, and you may pay however you wish once you get to the workshop. Your check is to assure your space in the workshop and to serve as a sign of your “good-faith/conviction and intention to be present.” If for some reason I do not meet my minimum student/client requirement you will receive your check back and acknowledgement of cancelation of that particular course, ASAP.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge, my experience, my passion and love within this realm. I do indeed love instructing these various courses in Aromatherapy and I equally look forward to finishing my book so I may share with each of you and more the extraordinary reference and resource material that will further you and others on the very basic approach of well-ness via the simple means of nature on your life passage. Here’s to a fantastic ending to my time here in Sedona, as I have identified with it! Let’s pack these workshops with great fun, laughing, learning, healing, love and new friends! Let the fairies begin to dance, make merry mischievous creations and wondrous manifestations within the upcoming workshops scheduled! Hope to hear from you very soon. Feel free to forward this notice (or email) and the attached information of scheduled Recession Buster specials to those you feel may be interested and network as much as you like, I’m grateful.

Private workshops and “The Medicinal Aromatherapy Massage workshop” are put on hold for Sedona, Arizona until after my Aromatherapy/Well-ness Book is published.
