Greetings flowering Reader, Several years ago, Kathleen and Rochana explored this topic on the Flower Essence Podcast in episode 57: Bach Flowers vs. Modern Essences. The conclusion? A resounding YES β the Bach flowers are more relevant than ever in today's world! The genius of the Bach flowers is that they are highly resonant with the most common human emotions, and these emotions are always part of the human experience, even when external circumstances have changed. Even though our...

Dear Reader, As the three of us (Ruth, Kathleen, and Rochana) have been working on our individual businesses over the years, we've participated in group coaching, masterminds, communities of practice, women's circles, and the list goes on. Nothing existed specifically for flower essence practitioners, so we had to make do with what we could find.
