Aromatic Meditation & Breathwork with the Redwoods - August 22, 2026

$95.00

Centered on scent, guided breathwork, and meditation, these gatherings are designed to cultivate calm, grounding, and deeper presence in a quiet, supportive setting.

At our upcoming gathering, we'll explore our connection with the redwood forest through gentle guided breathwork, meditation, and the grounding aroma of redwood essential oil. Guided by breath and fragrance, you'll be invited into a deeply sensory meditation inspired by the quiet strength and presence of these remarkable trees.

This gathering will take place on Saturday, August 22, from 11:00 AM to 12:15 PM and is limited to five participants to preserve a quiet, supportive atmosphere. Gatherings are held in my private home studio, with the address provided upon booking. Weather permitting, we'll gather outdoors among the redwoods. If conditions aren't suitable, we'll meet indoors with views of the trees. We'll conclude with time for optional sharing and quiet integration before heading home.

About Your Guide

Meet Françoise

Françoise Decatrel is an integrative healing practitioner whose work is rooted in the relationship between body, mind, spirit, and the natural world. Drawing from her work as a clinical aromatherapist, along with herbal wisdom, breathwork, guided meditation, sound, and Reiki-informed energy work, her approach is intuitive and multi-layered, weaving these practices together in ways that respond to the season, the setting, and the people gathered.

The Setting

Gatherings take place in a private home affectionately known as the Tree House, high among the redwoods of Kings Mountain yet only a few minutes from downtown Woodside. Although nearby the Silicon Valley area, it feels far removed from everyday life. Here you will find quiet, nature, and space to breathe in a setting entirely different from a conventional wellness studio.
