The autumn pause | Guided journaling through scent + story

 

Embrace the alchemy of autumn and join us for an intimate guided journaling experience designed to help you pause, create space, and reconnect with yourself.

 

Led by Charlotte Ferris, founder of Midlands-based natural home fragrance and lifestyle brand Cerita, this holistic workshop invites you to step away from your regular day-to-day for an uninterrupted session of calm.

Two days before October’s new moon, through the art of scent, storytelling and reflective writing, you'll be guided through a series of thoughtful prompts to encourage self-awareness and self-connection. As aromatherapy fills the space, you'll be encouraged to slow your breath and mind, listen inwardly, and explore what is present beneath the surface.

 

Why journaling?

A gentle yet powerful mindfulness practice, guided journaling can support emotional regulation, reduce feelings of overwhelm, strengthen self-reflection and help create a deeper sense of balance and wellbeing.

 

Why aromatherapy?

Scent is one of our most powerful senses, with a direct connection to the part of the brain responsible for emotion, memory and our stress response.

When we experience a particular fragrance, it activates the limbic system - the area of the brain linked to feelings, memories and emotional processing, which is why certain scents can instantly evoke a sense of calm, comfort or nostalgia.

 

During the workshop, carefully blended essential oils will create a grounding sensory experience, helping you settle into the present moment and deepen your connection to the practice.⁠

No previous experience is required — simply come as you are with an open mind and a willingness to slow down and take time for yourself.

You’ll also have the opportunity to shop Cerita’s collection in-person with a 10% discount that evening.

All materials and refreshments included.

Guests will also leave with a gift from Cerita worth £20.
