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.
