I want you to know how very much I appreciate that you put so much
energy into everything you do. The Level 1 Seminar was wonderful;
not only the learning, but the camaraderie and openness from everyone
of like mind. I look forward to continuing my studies. Thanks from
the heart! 
-- Pat T.
NM You do not need any experience or prior training in Medicinal Aromatherapy to take this class and benefit greatly from it. Many participants have some knowledge and have been using essential oils for relaxation or scent, but want to “step up” their use to maintaining and advancing their health and/or treating or preventing illness. Others have heard about or are drawn to aromatherapy and want to explore what it might mean in their lives…they have little or no experience with essential oils and are ready to put their toe in the water!! I am able to structure the class to meet the needs and expectations of the group so that no one feels “left behind”.
On the other hand, I acknowledge that there is a lot of information presented, and many experiences to process long afterward. So, I ask you to trust that this information is something that we all know in our heart of hearts, and that I am helping you to remember your birthright…vibrant health, sense and love of self, a deep connection to Mother Earth and all of her children, and a sense of your purpose on this planet at this time. We take a shamanic approach to our work with the plants and trees…listening to and following their guidance, and honoring the ancient healing connection between their species and our own.

Aromatherapy Class Specifics
- This foundational intensive is designed to ground the participant in a basic but deep understanding of the ancient relationship between humans and the plant & tree kingdom. While allopathic medicine is barely 150 years old, plant & tree medicines are thousands of years old, and medicinal aromatherapy is steeped in this ancient tradition.
- We cover approximately 35 essential oils or essence “families” (e.g., The Spruces) in depth, exploring the physical, emotional and spiritual situations they address.
- A wide range of application methods, from the auricular method to the layering of cold and hot essences on the body, are introduced. These are demonstrated as the foundational essences are discussed.
- Several meditations are included (some quite short, one relatively long) to reinforce the connection with the unseen world and the wisdom and peace it imparts. Bring a journal, as there will be time after each to record your impressions and experiences.
- Essences for each Chakra are discussed, and a guided Chakra Meditation supports the balancing and strengthening of this energy system.
- A “hands-on” practicum concludes the seminar, where students are paired and have the opportunity to work with the essences and with each other.
Level 1 Aromatherapy Class in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Seminar Fees and Locations
The seminar fee is $475.00 ($450.00 early registration - 4 weeks before class date), with 50% due at the time of registration and the balance due the first day of the seminar. Two text books (the WOTE Reference Guide and Wisdom of the Earth Speaks the Truth about Medicinal Aromatherapy) are included with course material. Once you are certified by Wisdom of the Earth, you may audit any Level 1 class for free, space permitting (see below, under Certification Fee & Benefits).
At this time, only the Level 1 classes in Santa Fe are taught by a principal (owner) of Wisdom of the Earth; other classes are offered in other locations by several of our advanced students. I offer the class at my home office in Santa Fe (Nambe). Please check the Wisdom of the Earth website for Level 1 and other classes offered outside of NM.

Aromatherapy Certification Requirements & Benefits
Certification
Paper:
You will have three months after the class to write a paper (minimum of
6 pages plus a bibliography) on an essence of your choosing…one
that you connect deeply with, and are called to know better. Your paper
should include information about where the essence is produced, something
about the plant or tree from which it comes, any historical information
about the essence and its use (spiritual, emotional and/or physical) that
is noteworthy, and, most important, your experience with it. How have
you used it…have you shared it with friends or family?? What did
they experience?? Many students share photographs, artwork or poetry that
they have been inspired to produce as a result of their experience with
the essential oil. All of these are acceptable and welcomed!! This is
about YOUR journey with this essence…how you came to know her and
select her, and what you have learned ABOUT her and FROM her.
Certification Fee & Benefits:
There is a $25 administrative fee for us to read your paper and for Barry
Kapp to prepare and issue to you a Wisdom of the Earth Certificate acknowledging
your participation in the class and the completion of your Paper. Once
your paper and administrative fee have been received, you are considered
a Wisdom of the Earth Wholesale Distributor (WD), and are entitled to
the following:
- Wholesale Distributor Pricing, which is approximately 20-22% less
than the Practitioner (Retail) price, on all of the essential oils.
There are also some discounts on other products, like AromaKits, Hydrosols,
and some books, but this varies.
- Auditing privileges at any of our Level 1 classes…you may audit the class as many times as you wish, without cost, space permitting. Auditors are asked to bring some type of refreshment for the class (cookies, tea, or something of that nature) and help during the class by pulling essences from the testers or returning them to their place, as requested, and by helping to set up and clean up. We also welcome and encourage their participation in discussions, meditations and practical application exercises, as we believe their contributions add value to the class.
