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

Reader, do you ever notice yourself holding back? Maybe you have something meaningful to say, but hesitate to say it. You trust your intuition, until someone else disagrees. Or you find yourself masking, minimizing, undervaluing what you do, or waiting until you feel just a little more ready. I’ve become deeply interested in a question underneath these patterns: What if some of what we carry didn’t start with us? Over the past year, I’ve been researching inherited trauma, patriarchal stress,...

Hornbeam

Bright flower greetings Reader, It’s Monday morning. You know what you need to do. It may even be written down in a tidy list in front of you. And yet, somehow, you cannot get yourself to begin. Hornbeam is famously associated with the “Monday morning feeling”—that sense of looking at the day ahead and wondering where you’re going to find the energy to get into gear.
