Vetiver - Vetiveria zizanoides

This tall, tufted, scented grass has a straight stem, long narrow leaves and an abundant lacework of underground white rootlets. It is a perennial native to south India, Indonesia and Sri Lanka and is also cultivated in Reunion, the Philippines and West and South America. The dark-brown, olive or amber essential oil is steam-distilled from the roots and the rootlets. Although the oil is mainly produced in Java, Haiti and Reunion, some is distilled in Europe and the United States.

Since antiquity the rootlets have been used in the East for their fine fragrance. Vetiver essential oil imparts a sense of tranquility and peace. I find it to be deeply relaxing and a perfect oil to help one settle into the autumn season. This essential oil is also helpful with arthritis, muscular aches and pains, and stiffness. It also helps with acne and oily skin. Of this oil’s many benefits, my personal favorites are its grounding properties of tranquility and peace.

This is general information regarding vetiver and vetiver essential oil. We encourage you to learn more about vetiver through research and see how it can benefit your life. You can purchase essential oils through FrogWorks. (Essential oils are not on our website - please call or email) Thanks!

This year the autumnal equinox was officially celebrated on September 23. The autumnal equinox is the second time in the calendar year that day and night are of equal lengths, the first being the spring/vernal equinox. You will now notice that the nights are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. It is a time when the sun goes into the earth only to return on the winter solstice when the days again become longer and the nights shorter.

In many traditions, autumn is regarded as a time for reckoning and balance. It is time for reflection, a time to honor our family and friends or remember those who are no longer with us. It is also, of course, a time to celebrate the harvest season and be grateful for the earth’s abundance. Some traditions consider the autumnal equinox the end of one year and the beginning of another.

When harvest season draws to a close, societies reflect on the work they have accomplished, as they lay down their stores for winter and many celebrations are enjoyed. The autumnal equinox signals a return of the cooler weather that favors slowing down, introspection and conversation. So enjoy this time of year, by taking it easy, reflecting and finding time for family and friends.

Crossing the Bridge: Healing the loss of an animal companion October 20, Saturday 10:00 – 4:00 pm

The loss of an animal companion can be one of the most painful and difficult experiences that we face. Grief is a normal emotional response to loss; however, the loss of an animal is often not given the same attention or significance in our society as the loss of a human loved one. In this workshop we will hold space for the process of grief and honor the special bond you shared with your animal.

Grief is an emotion that is meant to move, shift and transform, not to be repressed or denied. This workshop, set near beautiful Roxborough Park, will help move the energy of this emotion in a holistic approach, attending to mind, body and spirit. Guided by international aromatherapist Frances Cleveland and deep-listening coach Janet Fiorenzo, you will:

Experience the power of ancient healing essential oils, plants and ceremony to help with the grief process
Learn to be fully present in this experience through mindful listening, reflection and writing exercises (assisted by Reiki Master/trainer Shelley Sheets)
Share wisdom from our spirits and from our connections with our beloved animals (assisted by animal communicator Rebecca Blackbyrd)
Create a memorial in remembrance
Celebrate the lives of our special friends

Cost: $80.00 (includes lunch and materials)
With: Frances Cleveland & Janet Fiorenzo
