The Art of Body Oiling ✨ A Sensory Ritual for Self-Care, Connection & Presence
~
A lovely, sensory experience in an intimate setting devoted to slowing down and feeling more connected to your body.
~
Inspired by Abhyanga, the Ayurvedic ritual of anointing the body with warm oil as a practice of nourishment and self-care. In Sanskrit, sneha can refer to both oil and love or affection- beautifully capturing the spirit of the practice.
~
We’ll begin the evening with tea and a guided meditation before moving into a guided body-oiling ritual—an intentional practice of applying warm oil to your own body while exploring sensation, touch, and awareness.
~
We’ll close the evening with a sound bath led by @darz.world, giving you space to simply receive and integrate.
~
Your evening includes:
- Tea and meaningful connection
- Guided meditation
- Guided body-oiling ritual
- Sound bath experience
- 2 oz glass bottle of body oil to use + take home.
~
(We will be using organic sesame body oil - traditionally used in Ayurveda and especially supportive during times of stress, overstimulation or seasonal transition)
~
What to Bring
- A yoga mat (and towel to protect from oil)
- Smaller hand towel (use as eye mask and wiping excess oil)
-Wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind potentially getting oil on.
- Optional: blanket or extra layers and small pillow (something to put under your head for comfort) 🌿
