"Thunder Moon": A Guided Aromatic Encounter with Amy Anthony

Wednesday July 17 at 7pm

Amy Anthony will guide through the first of a series of aromatic encounters with seasonal themes. The theme of July's encounter will be "Thunder Moon". The goal of these encounters is to feel scent by going beyond perception and recognition, thereby connecting to the scent on a deeper, emotional and physiological level. The session will involve tasting a cold infusion tea of herbs the artist grew in her garden and smelling a blend of essential  oils prepared exclusively for this event. Amy and the gallerist, Andreas Keller, will talk about strategies of engaging with smells beyond the analytical mind and about the essential oils used in the blend. At the end of the session, participants are encouraged to share their experiences during the encounter.

Our guide, NYC Aromatica's Amy Anthony, is immersed in plants and oils on a daily basis, Amy’s knowledge goes beyond theory. Her practical experience includes maintaining her own garden, distilling aromatic plants, studying herbalism, and educating others. Amy’s contributions extend to teaching levels 1 and 2 aromatherapy certifications at esteemed institutions like the former New York Institute of Aromatherapy and former New York Institute of Aromatic Studies and workshops at the New York Botanical Gardens among several other institutions.
