[Introduction] This unique experiential workshop integrates the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Five Elements theory with the modern practice of aromatherapy. Led by IFA Registered Aromatherapist Ms. Li Shen, participants will explore the connections between essential oils, meridian pathways, and the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water). Through guided sensory exercises, participants will experience how plant-based essential oils can be used to balance energy flow along meridian lines, promote emotional well-being, and support holistic healing. This workshop offers social work practitioners an integrative, culturally-informed modality for self-care and complementary client support. This workshop unfolds in three immersive movements: 1) Scent Awareness Experience: Your first encounter with aromatic energy, establishing a unique personal fragrance profile. 2) Scent Awareness Meditation: Using scent as a guide to accompany you in writing from within, awakening hidden consciousness and emotions. 3) Plant Awareness Blending: Awakening inner intuition through natural aromas as you create your own map of the soul.

這獨特的體驗式工作坊融合了中醫五行理論的古老智慧與現代芳療實踐。由沈儷女士帶領，參加者將探索精油、經絡與五行（木、火、土、金、水）之間的聯繫。透過引導式的感官練習，參加者將親身體驗如何運用植物精油來平衡經絡中的能量流動，促進情緒健康，並支持整體療癒。本工作坊為社會工作從業者提供一套整合且具文化底蘊的方式，用於自我照護及輔助個案支持。工作坊分為三個沉浸式環節：1）香覺體驗 —— 初遇香氣能量，為你建立獨一無二的個人香氣檔案；2）香覺靜心 —— 以香為引，伴你書寫內心，察覺潛藏的意識與情緒; 、；3）植覺調香 —— 藉由自然香氣喚醒內在直覺，親手創作專屬的心靈地圖。
