A beautiful transmission of flower essence knowledge 🌸⚡ During flower essence training sessions there's a special magic that happens when each plant’s signature comes through — via images of the plant, the instructor's vivid stories, and the sharing of their embodied experience. We believe this transmission of knowledge, whether online or in person, is more powerful and easier for the student to assimilate than reading books, websites, or static course material alone. When we as learners...

From our soul calling to yours 📣🌸✨ We may be a bit biased, but we just love the modality of Flower Essence Therapy, a practice of matchmaking between people and plants for truly evolutionary outcomes over time. Flower essences meet us where we are and speak to our souls as trusted allies on our path. To help others, we also learn to do the same — meet people where they are, and become trusted allies on their path. When we create custom blends for the human and animal beings we work with, we...

Reader, you may be wondering: What makes our Bach flower course different from all the others out there? Same old stuff There certainly are a lot of "courses" and information outside of the School for Flower Essence Studies that cover the Bach flowers. Many are just the same publicly available information that's been around for decades, often repeated, and now multiplying at lightening speed with books and courses being spit out by AI. How we're different We went beyond the conventional...

I used to think so Rochana here — and I have a confession to make. When I began working with flower essences, I wasn't attracted to the Bach remedies. How could I think this? My understanding of them was only pamphlet-level deep, and the language describing their use seemed a bit...boring and outdated.
