Flowering Round is an tenth-month council on flower essences, practitioner skills and entering the realm of Flora.
We gather around the bowl of flowers and sip from the Mother:
Welcome Flora, Welcome Flowers, Welcome Friends
This offering picks up from the end of the Turning Toward The Flower course and carries forward the seeds of place-based medicine making, building relationships with plants and personal ritual. In this facilitated learning container we will strengthen flower essence praxis through crafting personal essence remedies, learning a template of exploratory research & proving methods for your creations, practicing formulation and working with others.
Flowering Round is a course for health care practitioners, teachers and artists of all kinds who want to incorporate essences into their practice as well as anyone who simply wants to invite the magic of flower essences into their life. This course is an essence practitioner training that is rooted in working with plants of our own bioregions and ancestral lineages rather than a particular brand of flower essence line. The course honors the ebbs and flows of the body, mind and spirit as we move through the seasons of the wheel of the year.

Floral devotion

Outside of class time, participants will have homework that includes research, reading, writing, art-making, ritual crafting and dream work.
