Loss changes us, and so does love. Join us for a heart-centered afternoon where scent becomes a bridge between remembrance and renewal. In this intimate workshop, Ol Facto will guide you through the art of blending fragrance, creating a scent that honours your unique journey—whether as a tribute to a loved one, a symbol of healing, or a fresh start.
Through storytelling, reflection, and hands-on scent creation, you’ll craft something deeply personal—an invisible yet powerful reminder that love lingers, memory holds, and new beginnings are always possible.
This gathering is open to anyone navigating any stage of loss, as well as those who wish to support and learn more about the Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Centre. Together, we create space for connection, healing, and hope.

Facilitator bio:
Ana Stepanchuk, PhD, Head Curator
Ana created ol.facto to explore the power of fragrance as a form of storytelling. Drawing on her expertise in sensory perception, Ana has developed a unique approach that blends science with art, creating immersive, meaningful experiences through scent. Her journey began in the lab, where she studies Alzheimer’s disease pathology, but her creative vision also led her to the world of perfumery.
Through ol.facto, Ana has brought together her love for olfaction and her commitment to mindful, intentional design. Each fragrance is more than just a scent; it’s an invitation to explore a story, to connect with an emotion, or to be transported to a place beyond the everyday. Ana believes that fragrance has the power to shape how we see ourselves and the world around us, and her work reflects this philosophy—where science meets the art of self-expression, and every scent tells a story.
