[Newsletter] October Blooms: Going Deeper


Dear Reader,

It's been a busy month, Rochana is putting the finishing touches on her new course, Sovereign Ground, Kathleen and Ruth held four live sessions for Bach Flowers in Contemporary Practice Part 4, and they also recorded a talk for the Deepening membership on Past Life Healing. All three of us are working on the next offering which will be on gemstone elixirs in flower essence therapy.

As always, we keep going deeper into to the realms of healing and working with our vibrational allies. Thank for being with us!

Here's your monthly flower essence nourishment:

In Case You Missed It

💬 FE Live: Community Chat

Cultivating quiet power in a frenzied world

As leaders and power structures continue grabbing money and power-over, amidst the aggressive noise of politics and media, we can be left feeling disempowered and resigned. In this month's live chat, we talked about essences and practices that can help us access our inner authority and personal power — that inherent quiet force, resilience, and potential that originates within us. How can we remain firm, calm, and capable when facing life's difficulties?

shasta lily with Sovereign Ground: Reclaiming Visibility, Voice, Value, Desire & Power

Flowering Reader, Sovereign Ground is now open! And now that we’ve arrived at the beginning of this journey, I want to say a little more directly what I mean by the Witch Wound—and why I chose it as a framework for this course.

Flowering Reader, A quick reminder that Early Bird enrollment for Sovereign Ground ends tomorrow, October 16. Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared some of the flower essence allies we’ll be working with—Golden Yarrow for visibility, Stone Circle for creating a protected container, and Buttercup for inherent worth. But before the Early Bird period ends, I also want to name clearly what makes this course different. Sovereign Ground is a flower essence course exploring patriarchal trauma, the...
