A Day of Aromatherapy, Botanical Alchemy, Creativity & Deep Relaxation

Step away from the everyday. Breathe in the beauty of nature. Discover the magic of creating your own aromatic botanical blends.

Imagine a day where time slows down, beautiful aromas fill the air, and you're invited to reconnect with yourself through the healing-inspired rituals of nature, creativity and relaxation.

Welcome to The Botanical Lab Retreat Day — a beautifully curated, immersive experience where the ancient art of aromatherapy meets the joy of creating your own natural-inspired products.

This is so much more than an aromatherapy workshop.

It's a day to indulge your senses, awaken your creativity, discover the fascinating world of essential oils and enjoy the simple pleasure of making something beautiful with your own hands.

From blending your own signature aromas to creating personalised skincare, home fragrance and botanical cleaning products, you'll be guided through an inspiring day of discovery, relaxation and creativity.

And the best part?

Everything is included.

Your ingredients, materials, beautiful botanical creations, guided relaxation, lunch and refreshing botanical drinks are all part of the experience.

You'll leave feeling inspired, refreshed and wonderfully accomplished — carrying home your own collection of handcrafted botanical products and the knowledge to continue your blending journey.

No previous experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity, creativity and a love of beautiful things.

An Exclusive Retreat – Just Three Dates Each Year

Some experiences deserve to feel a little special.

That's why The Botanical Lab Retreat Day takes place just three times a year, creating a wonderful opportunity to step away from routine and immerse yourself in something truly different.

Our November retreat is already fully booked, and we're delighted to be opening bookings for our 2027 retreat dates.

Whether you're joining us for a little self-care, exploring a new interest, celebrating a special occasion or enjoying a memorable day with someone you love, this is your invitation to experience botanical creativity in a nurturing, welcoming setting.

Only three retreat days each year. A beautiful experience worth making time for.

Discover the Beautiful World of Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the art and practice of using aromatic plant extracts, including essential oils, to enhance sensory experiences and support wellbeing.

During your retreat, you'll discover how these remarkable botanical ingredients are obtained, what makes their aromas so distinctive and how they can be blended to create personalised products.

Under the guidance of Davinder Bahia, you'll explore:

• The fascinating origins of essential oils and aromatic botanicals.

• How essential oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, fruits, woods and other plant materials.

• The different scent families and how aromas complement one another.

• Top, middle and base notes and the art of creating a balanced fragrance.

• How to select essential oils for different products and purposes.

• The importance of dilution, safe usage and appropriate ingredients.

• How to blend essential oils confidently and creatively.

• How to develop your own signature botanical aromas.

You'll be encouraged to explore, experiment and discover which scents speak to you.

Perhaps you'll fall in love with soft florals, uplifting citrus notes, comforting woods or refreshing herbal aromas.

Every blend tells a story. This is your chance to create your own.

Davinder will guide you through suitable dilution, product formulation, safe handling, storage and the importance of individual sensitivities.

All activities use selected ingredients and guided formulations appropriate for the workshop.

Participants will be encouraged to disclose relevant allergies, sensitivities or other considerations before the day.
