By letting the plants in, we receive the capacity to expand — even in times of overwhelm 🏵️✨


Dear Reader,

If you're feeling as overwhelmed as we are these days, we know that information overload can make it hard to focus and want to take on more things.

But what we've discovered is that when we learn about plants through attunement and sharing rather than just reading and watching media, our capacity for taking in new information increases!

By listening to the plants we feel a sense of relief, and the experience becomes healing and reorganizing. Their messages are so relevant for our times.

“I was ready to have that relationship go deeper with the flower essences…now I feel like they're friends, like they're living beings”

With this support from Nature, we’re excited to embark on a deep exploration of nine more Bach Flowers in our upcoming study 'experience' group.

We slow down to learn directly from the plants and the people who have long been using these essences with clients. The safe container of these live gatherings, with the spaciousness to go deep, has proven profoundly healing in its own right.

An Invitation

We invite you to join us for this highly fulfilling in-depth work and shared experience, taking you beyond formulaic guidelines. You can join this iteration of Bach Flowers in Contemporary Practice (Part Three) without completing Part One or Two — they can be done in any order.

While this course is mostly geared toward intermediate and advanced-level students, we welcome any beginners who are ready to go deep!

New Dates + Extended Early Bird

We rescheduled the start date to February 20th, so you have even more time to get the Early Bird price! Register by February 7th to save $30.

We hope you'll join us! Reply if you have any questions.

May the flowers be with you,

✨ Ruth, Kathleen, and Rochana

Julian Barnard

With heavy hearts and also profound gratitude, we’re taking a moment to honor the life of our friend, teacher, and mentor, Julian Barnard, who has crossed the threshold. Julian was a speaker for the plants and their healing gifts. His creative generosity illuminated the Bach essence plants in ways that are vividly rich and bring the qualities of each essence to life.

clematis flowers

Dear Reader, You may already know Holly. You may have reached for Pine dozens of times. Clematis and Honeysuckle may have been sitting in your kit for years. So why spend two hours with each pair? Because one of the things we’ve learned from decades of working with flower essences is that familiarity can sometimes hide as much as it reveals. We learn the indications. We recognize the patterns. We develop our shorthand. And then a plant, a client, or a conversation shows us something we hadn’t...
