Rūta Visocnik – Scent Education

"Japanese life philosophy and Japanese nature" – an experiential session with Rūta Visocnik.
This experiential session invites you to explore the connection between Japanese life philosophy and nature. Each theme opens with a story about one principle of Japanese philosophy, after which we get to know the plant that symbolises it. Participants will then have the chance to experience its authentic essential-oil aroma, and the journey closes with a short haiku.
It is a slow, meditative, sense-awakening journey through Japanese culture, in which philosophy, nature, scent and poetry merge into a different way of seeing the world. At the same time, it is an invitation to see how these time-tested principles can enrich our everyday lives and help us find more awareness, harmony and meaning in them.
The session is led by attorney Rūta Visocnik, who became interested in Japanese life philosophy and the power of nature through essential oils more than twenty years into her legal practice.
