A journey into aroma therapy oils
It was as a wonderful experience even though I booked as a solo participant my husband was with me and was made feel so welcome, we both did with lovely Turkish tea and interesting stories and it was great to witness the process of making lavender aroma therapy. A peaceful garden and a great experience I highly recommend it if you are looking for something different

We got so many gifts, tea, fresh coffe...read more

As we sat in the courtyard with the call to prayer, the chickens out on the grass and the sweet smell of the distilling essential...read more
