Barbara says...

“The Visionary Healer Retreat was magical - more than I could have imagined. I came away from my week in Taos with a renewed commitment to my personal growth work and inspired ideas to grow and shift my private practice work with clients. The retreat structure was perfect. Each day, we explored different elements of nature. These unique and majestic experiences deepened the therapeutic work we did each day. Thank you to Cathy and Florian for creating and facilitating such a transformational experience!

Reconnect To Your Essence And Elevate Your Role As A Healer

If you want to understand how you can move forward and go deeper in your personal inner work, which is vital to the evolution and consciousness of the world right now…

If you’re ready to learn, ceremonially immersed in Nature, in deep relationship with plants and aromatic allies…

We see you.
We behold you.
We support you in furthering the shift.

We want to welcome you to this exclusive in-person retreat deep in the magical landscape of northern New Mexico.

This is a very rare opportunity for 9 participants to work closely with us in a powerful natural environment.

This life-changing journey offers visionary healers the opportunity to experience a paradigm shift in their approach to healing and birth their unique essence in wholeness. 

The Visionary Healer Retreat

A 6-day Intensive Program in New Mexico, May 13 to May 19, blends the concepts of Depth Psychology, Aromatics, and Intuitive Knowing, in Nature in a way that can be applied to your own journey and all healing modalities.

Here's the thing...

What stays in the unconscious controls you and holds you back. When you build a relationship with your unconscious, you liberate the creative energy that is your birthright.

Transforming yourself and your life so that you fulfill your soul’s purpose requires a complete change in perspective. You need new tools, a new roadmap for life and a deep, working understanding of the psyche, Nature and the unconscious.

Intimately knowing all parts of the psyche and having the tools to navigate the conscious and unconscious parts of it are vital skills if you want to be the best version of yourself and a powerful, responsible, effective member of the planet.

We are 100% sure of this, because by walking our talk we now we have the tools and the mindset to face life’s challenges and help our participants navigate theirs effectively and joyfully.

When you join us, you’ll:

Build a career that is an expression of your soul’s purpose.

Develop healthy, dynamic, loving relationships, based on the sacred inner union.

Heal any deep transgenerational trauma that you may be carrying and repeating throughout your life.

Find the magic in life.

Develop and have confidence in your own psychic and intuitive gifts.

Find your voice and personal signature in your chosen modalities and work.

It’s time to make your own healing journey the number one priority in your life.

Here’s what past participants have said about our retreats:

“Like everything AromaGnosis has to offer, the aromatic mentorship was deeply transformative. I went in with little exceptions other than I knew there was a piece missing and truly felt having a longer program was where I would be able to birth that mystery into my consciousness and work on another level. I can say that’s exactly what happened. I am a more full, authentic, aware and happier version of myself.
-Ash
“Cathy and Florian have a profound sense of the inner work of our times. They have their ears to the heart of the trouble we are facing as global humanity and they bring their wisdom and passion to addressing this. I highly recommend the mentorship for people who wish to deepen their own inner work in a community of like-spirited people and develop ideas for their own practice with others.”
-Summer
“The mentorship has been the most profound and revelatory experience of my life! I have such awe and gratitude for Cathy and Florian; they are doing the work that this World needs and guiding us with such care, mindfulness and such Heart-Wisdom.”
-Heather

What to expect:

 

The powerful and magical environment of Northern New Mexico, with its soaring canyons and far-reaching vistas, becomes our co-teacher and reflects the hidden parts of our psyches, making us more whole.

 

Aromatic plant essences will by-pass the intellect and help you access deeper psychic aspects of the Self, for lasting transformation.

 

We will journey inwards for self-healing in a coherent, structured, and effective way to make new pathways for new life ways.

 

This unique retreat is not about teaching information, it is about becoming process.

 

We will help you reconnect to your unique essence so you can manifest your unique path.

 

This experience is unlike any other, because it involves all aspects of the your psyche and how it is reflected in nature.

 

The Aromagnosis method empowers transformation for healers and seekers by removing blind spots and creating a solid inner foundation for the whole psyche.

 

What People Are Saying

“I am very grateful I was able to attend the AromaGnosis 2020 mentorship program. I entered to gain first and foremost a deeper understanding of myself. I have now added tools to my toolbox in assisting my clients as well. I needed to recharge. I was not in my full power and quite exhausted. The AromaGnosis method of navigating and integrating one’s psyche is profound. I gained much insight in turning trauma into triumph.”
Mary Susan
“It has taken me a few days to come to my senses (no pun intended) and be able to articulate all I am distilling within myself, and I look forward to how this trip has inspired a change within that will help me to grow with my craft and share my work all through the power of scent and inner awareness.

Cathy Skipper 

In 2015, I lost my mum, moved continents, was diagnosed with cancer, lost all the material belongings I owned in the world and spent four years fighting for custody of my son. I left the conventional path of herbalism and aromatherapy behind and let my passion for working with aromatics for deep, soul healing guide me through these difficulties. From this period, Aromagnosis, a powerful and transformative modality of healing developed by myself and my husband Florian Birkmayer MD was born. I am honored to be able to share this deeply transformative and effective healing modality with you.

Florian Birkmayer, MD 

My calling is to help people find their soul’s purpose in collaboration with my wife Cathy Skipper. I have found using the alchemical view of how our psyches evolve in combination with powerful aromatics deeply and rapidly transformative. I am committed to my Wounded Healer’s path and called to guide others along this path.
