EORC is Organiser & Host of Two Major
International Conference Events
Over the years, through her work, international collaborations and extensive travels, Rhiannon has developed an extensive network of professional connections bridging the scientific and aromatherapy worlds.
Bringing these colleagues together to share their work, research and collective passions was thus a natural step in her drive to promote and celebrate the beneficial effects of essential oils and plant extracts.
Since 2012, EORC has been involved in organising and hosting world class professional aromatherapy and phyto-aromatherapy conferences and seminars:
The Botanica conference series and the Essence of Clinical Aromatherapy (ECA) Seminar series.
Botanica2026 – A new chapter begins
Since 2012, botanica has set the standard as the leading international event bridging the worlds of aromatherapy and plant medicine. Every two years, we’ve gathered a vibrant global community of aromatherapists, aromatic plant enthusiasts, healthcare professionals, researchers, growers, and innovators to explore the science, tradition, and future of our field.
In 2026, botanica is evolving…
One Plant – One Day – One Vision
Shaping the future of essential oil and plant-based healthcare
Botanica2026 marks a bold new chapter in the world’s most respected conference series dedicated to aromatherapy and plant medicine. Building on over a decade of excellence, this unique online series invites you to explore the science, tradition, and therapeutic potential of plants in a whole new way.
We are excited to unveil a brand-new format: a series of three one-day, online deep-dive immersions, each dedicated to a single plant genus. These unique events will take you on a journey through every aspect of the chosen plant – from botany, cultivation and sustainability, to research, extraction, traditional uses, and clinical applications.
- Global reach – Live-streamed with multilingual access.
- Depth & quality – World-class speakers, bonus pre-recorded sessions, and published proceedings.
- Connection & exchange – Interactive networking, real-time discussions, and a focused trade show.
- Flexibility – One-day commitment, with replays available for a full month.
Whether you are an aromatherapist, herbalist, healthcare professional, scientist, researcher, producer, policymaker, or simply plant-passionate, botanica2026 offers you an immersive way to deepen your knowledge and be part of a growing legacy of excellence.
Stay tuned, spread the word, and prepare to join us for a new era of botanica!
