Collective wisdom from the plants and the people 🌿🏵️✨


Flowering Reader,

Bach Flowers in Contemporary Practice is our in-depth Bach flower essence study group in which we slow down to learn directly from the plants and the people who have long been using these essences with clients.

Wisdom from the plants 🌱🌷🌲🌵🌿

Most published materials and courses on Bach essences revolve around personality traits and behavioral patterns, described by our human minds.

Minimal attention has been given to studying and listening to the actual plants and attuning to their expression.

This and all our courses are grounded in what the plant shows us — and we teach you how to see this way too.

“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 through this course”

Wisdom from the people 👩👩🏻‍🌾👩🏽👵🏼👩🏻

As professional flower essence practitioners, we reveal insight gained from decades of experience working with clients.

We also foster a safe environment for participants to share their experiences, and we all learn from each other in this co-creative space.

“I love hearing from other people what they have found in a flower essence that might be slightly different..."

“like frosting on the cake, of all the wisdom that everybody brings...it just feels like such a delicious package that I had been waiting for that I didn't even know existed”

Join us in February! 🎉 ✨

We invite you to join us for this highly fulfilling in-depth work and shared experience, taking you beyond formulaic guidelines.

“I just want to thank you for creating a community around the flower essences”

”I think between the three of you, you have created something special and drew us all in. And it's just been amazing."

A shift from learning about the plants to experiencing them in an alive way.Ruth Toledo Altschuler often speaks about this as a kind of transmission, where the qualities of a plant are not only understood, but felt and recognized in a resonant way.As she shares: “There is a beautiful moment when the gesture of a plant is perceived clearly.

Cosmos (photo: Ruth Toledo Altschuler) Dear Reader, Once the desire for more clarity takes shape, the next question is often: What kind of training will actually support this work? Because not all approaches to flower essence study are the same. Some focus primarily on memorizing indications or matching remedies to character types and their behavior.
