In this class, students will be introduced to the homeopathic medicine of Flower Remedies (or flower essences). Flower Essences are an energetic form of plant medicine made from vibrational infusion of plants in spring water, preserved, and ingested in drop doses.
Through supporting our exploration of energetic patterns (emotional, psychological, spiritual, etc.), they enable us to relate to the world in the particular pattern of the flower. This process creates a new relationship with themes in our lives. When we make a flower essence, we are working with the spirit of the plant, which means we are also working with the spirit of place, the elements, stories, stars, and more. Their effects are gentle and are best utilized over longer periods of time to help shift perspective or provide support to one in a time of change. Unlike a tincture or essential oil, essences do not contain constituents of plants, making them generally safe for all.
We will spend a day in the realm of Flora by learning how to make our own flower essences from individual flowers as well as practice creating our own formulas of multiple essences to work with a particular set of energies at once. This workshop is suitable for beginning flower enthusiasts to seasoned herbalists alike!
