STRŌB Apothecary

A 2-hour workshop with Sherry Steine weaving Vedic astrology, breath &amp; aromatherapy into grounded rituals for everyday balance and calm.
Rituals of the Planets: Vedic Astrology for Everyday Healing
Feeling energetically out of sync? This 2-hour experiential workshop is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the living wisdom of Vedic Astrology — using practices you can carry into everyday life: your breath, your senses, and your awareness.
Through guided pranayama paired with planetary aromatherapy rituals, you'll learn simple, grounded ways to harmonize with planetary cycles, regulate your nervous system, and create real moments of balance in your daily rhythm. No astrology background, no Sanskrit, no experience required — just a willingness to notice and attune.
What you'll experience:
🪐 Guided breathwork (pranayama) paired with planetary attunement 🪐 Hands-on aromatherapy rituals using essential oils aligned with the nine planetary archetypes (Navagraha) 🪐 A personal planetary ritual you can return to again and again — at home, at your altar, or in the middle of a hectic day 🪐 A gentle introduction to working with your own chart, offered as a doorway, not a doctrine 🪐 A grounded, pressure-free space designed to feel nourishing, not overwhelming
What you'll walk away with:
✨ Practical, sustainable rituals that weave astrology into everyday life ✨ A deeper understanding of how planetary cycles influence your mood, energy, and sense of purpose ✨ A renewed sense of balance and connection to your inner rhythms ✨ A reminder that you are not separate from the cosmos — you are in conversation with it
Meet Your Guide:
Sherry Steine is a Yoga Therapist, Vedic Astrologer, and Certified Aromatherapist through the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA). Her work weaves together the ancient sciences of Jyotish, yoga, and aromatherapy — offering planetary wisdom not as prediction, but as relationship. Through breath, scent, and subtle body awareness, she invites students to feel the cosmos as something near, not distant; something you live in conversation with, not under.
Sherry's teaching centers on accessibility and embodiment, meeting each student where they are and offering practices that are both practical and meaningful. She is the author of Aligned by the Stars: An Integrative Guide to Vedic Astrology and Aromatherapy for Life Challenges&nbsp;and through her private work, educational offerings, and writing, she empowers individuals to engage with ritual and self-study in ways that feel grounded, intuitive, and sustainable.
This workshop is facilitated in a trauma-informed, inclusive, and accessible manner. You are always invited — never instructed — to engage at your own comfort level.
This workshop is about attuning, remembering, and feeling held by something larger than yourself.
