Winter Solstice Greetings & Exciting NPA Updates! 🌟

by Ruth Ruane -

Dear NPA Community,

As we gather during this Winter Solstice, a time of reflection, rebirth, and new beginnings, I want to take a moment to connect with each of you and share some updates from the Natural Perfume Academy.

In Ireland, the Winter Solstice is a powerful celebration of the return of the light. At Newgrange, an ancient passage tomb older than the pyramids, the rising sun illuminates the inner chamber, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and the promise of renewal. This spirit of hope and transformation inspires everything we do at the NPA.

Rebirth & New Beginnings at NPA

This year has been filled with growth, creativity, and connection, and I’m thrilled to announce exciting updates and opportunities as we move toward 2025:

Advanced Perfumers Workshops & Masterclasses (OPAs)
Ane Walsh has been working tirelessly on translating this incredible series of workshops into Portuguese, and the translation is almost complete! This is your last chance to enroll at the pilot price of €435—50% off the regular price of €870.
