MEETING THE BLOOM
When we make essences we work with the invisible; inviting the community of Earth to pattern itself into the bowl at our feet. There is a deep listening, giving attention to meadow, flower, road, grass, stoop, stone, tree, bird, building, river and the way life sings through all of these beings. This class has formed from a desire to co-conspire with wherever we find ourselves right now, the story that is ever-becoming and the emergence of Spring blossoming.
From your own home, we will center our creative practice on essence making as a way to engage with the deep medicine of place. This class will encourage you to spend quality time where you are and use practices such as writing, personal ceremony, movement and play to enter into collaborative cahoots with flowers, plants and other magic that is right outside our door.
There will be instruction on how to make flower, gem, animal and environmental essences, but the remedies you craft during this time together will be informed by your conversation with that which speaks your secret names from beyond.
Flower essences have always been incredible sources of place-based magic and I’d like to offer some techniques and practices I have cultivated and learned from making essences over the past twelve years. I find that essence making activates and enhances all other creative practices, whether it be writing, painting, dancing, cooking, etc.
My hope is that the practices and reflections of this program will reverberate out to other aspects of your life, as essences often do. My prayer is that we are able tap into the enchantment of the land at our feet.
My intention is to honor Flora, the Goddess of Flowers. My wish is for beauty.

TESTIMONIALS
“Was sooo blown away by how much I learned! Loved it and can’t wait to take your other classes. Thank you for cultivating such a great learning space. The homework assignments really solidified what you discussed in the classes and I loved getting to hear reflections from other folks. You have a wonderfully patient and funny way of explaining the somewhat unexplainable, if that makes sense. It encouraged me to trust my own conclusions. Thank you so much.” - L.C., 2020 student
“Turning Toward the Flower was such a magical offering and I'm so grateful I said yes to this class! Wow! In five short weeks, it feels like everything changed. Something unlocked inside of me within this container - it was like there was a tangible, audible click and a new level of connection with the plants came online for me. The way Liz shared about flower essences and the practice of making them was equal parts magical and practical and oh so accessible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this work with the world.” - 2023 student
“Turning Toward the Flower was so rich, encouraging and inspiring. Liz is a wonderful space-holder and storyteller; each session was full of magic! My own relationship with the plant world has deepened and enlivened as a result of taking this class. Very grateful.” - 2023 student
“TTTF was even more profound than I expected. It shifted how I see the world around me on a daily basis. Because flower essences are such an accessible form of magic, this class gave me something I can be working with every single day instead of only on special occasions or when I have an abundance of time/energy.“ - H.S., 2023
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for the incredible and enchanting class! I have been so inspired and moved by you and your work, and feel really nourished by the whole experience. I'm looking forward to continuing this work with all of the incredible resources and guides you have shared with us. Thank you so much again! I really don't have words to express how resonant this class was for me on a deep soul level.“ - K.F, 2021
“Thank you for opening and closing with poetry, for allowing time to stretch and creating a space where we could drop away from linear answers and immediate results, really stretching our imaginations and intuition like a muscle. I learned so much about honing my observation skills of both my body and nature in this workshop. Though I already spend a lot of rich, beautiful time outside, TTTF brought into my awareness more tenderhearted ways of being in relationship with the plants all around me, that my own presence is vital, and reciprocity begins with attention.” - L.N., 2021
