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.

THE FLOWERING BODY OF THIS WORK INCLUDES

Students will not only be crafting, researching and proving their own essences but they will also be weaving the tapestry of collective wisdom by participating in group essence testing and inquiry. We will have both large and small group discussion, activities and rituals for working with these mystery essences as a group.

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

2025 CLASS DATES

This container is open to 15 flower devotees.
Due to the intimate and participatory nature of this course,
students are required to be present for the class sessions.
Missing one or two classes for unforeseen reasons is understandable but please consider before applying that missing three or more classes greatly affects the group integrity and dynamic. Presence of participating in class discussion and exercises is required.

While recordings are available to you if you miss a class, your participation is crucial. If you miss more than four classes, your participation in the program will be incomplete.
 
In the rare chance that Liz has to cancel a class due to illness
or internet connectivity issues, class will be rescheduled.

INCLUDED IN CLASS REGISTRATION

~ 8 1/2 oz single flower essences to begin to build the foundation of your essence apothecary for selection and formulation practice throughout the course

~ 4 1/2 oz mystery flower essences

~ 1 30 minute flower essence consultation with Liz sometime during the course of the class 

~ Online class hub (hosted on Discord) for checking in with each other, sharing our experiences and continuing the conversation outside of class time

CLASS PREREQUISITES

It is highly recommended that you have taken Turning Toward The Flower, Liz’s 5-week class on crafting place-based flower essences. Priority will be given to students who have participated in Turning Toward The Flower. The course will be offered again in March 2025. If you’d like to participate in both courses, please make a note in the application and you will be provided with a $75 discount for TTTF.

It is essential that students who are participating in Flowering Round are comfortable with making essences and you will be asked to describe your essence making practice and experience in the application. In Flowering Round, we do not cover as much material on making essences -- so it is crucial to have this practice established already.
