Come and experience the delicate yet powerful medicine of spring flowers! Naturalist Education Specialist Stormie Kirk will cover everything you need to know to make your own flower essence and how to connect into plant spirit medicine. This is an excellent class for beginners or those already familiar with energetic plant medicine. Our day begins with a discussion on everything about flower essences among the flowers themselves.We will take a forest saunter together, ID the beauties around us and gather sacred spring water. From there, we will make a group flower essence, break for a bag lunch and attune/proof it together in a plant spirit journey. Each participant will then be able to make their own mother flower essence and swap dosage bottles with other participants. You will leave with the start to your own flower essence apothecary! Since this class is taking place at a United Plant Savers Botanical Sanctuary Garden, we will also learn how to use flower essences as a mindful alternative to harvesting rare and protected plant medicine because it can be made without harming the plant.
