These are challenging times, many of us are naviga

These are challenging times, many of us are navigating through change on multiple spheres: work, home, family, friends, politics and more. Many of us find ourselves at the center of these spheres, where others are also relying on us for support. It is important that while we are consciously taking care of our physical health that we also bring awareness to our emotional states. Are you seeking emotional harmony? We have some wonderful tools that can assist you in emotional care. ⠀
We invite you to explore flower essences for practical application in our daily life. This course empowers you with the tools to become more aware and compassionate of your emotional states and those of others, to identify areas of imbalance, and to nurture ourselves toward emotional harmony with the essences. ⠀

Golden blend, a mix of homegrown herbs for urinary tract infections and kidney support specifically, highlighting Goldenrod ✨

3 parts Goldenrod Leaves & Flowers
2 parts Biden’s Alba Leaves & Flowers
2 parts Lemon Balm
1 part Chanca Piedra
1 part Lemongrass
1 part Lippia Alba

A recipe in parts means you can adapt to whatever measuring size you have, say teaspoons for 1 cup or ounces if wanting to make a bigger batch to have on hand.

You can edit & adapt this with whatever you have available or are looking for different things. If you have Dandelion and calendula you can mix that with Goldenrod for a liver cleanse // circulation support blend.

You can blend Goldenrod with Yarrow Flowers and Elder Flowers for an antihistamine blend.

You can blend Goldenrod with Ginger and Cinnamon for a spicy digestive support tisane.

Literally your apothecary and garden are your oyster! I’m just giving a recipe to inspire y’all to play around and mix up your own tisane blends at home.

I’m by no means an expert, just a practicing herbalist and homegrown gardener. Nothing I say is medical advice, please consult a medical practitioner before utilizing herbs for any health concerns.

Ps. If you’re looking for a custom tisane blend of your own, message me 🤗

If you’ve worked with flower essences, you know that they are a medicine we need now more than ever. 💐 From pandemics to fires to systemic oppression to the circus of politics, most of us are feeling weary and worn down - and flower essences are one incredible tool that can help us find balance and ease despite the backdrop of environmental collapse and cultural division. 🌷 Next month, I’ll be guiding yet another five part journey exploring Flower Essences for Emotional Health, a course I’ve taught for over a decade and is dear to my heart. 🌸 This series features live classes by video conference, with personalized flower essence dosage bottles mailed at the end of each class to provide you with tangible experience working with the essences as we dive into the course material together. It is a course not just for the mind, but for the spirit. 🌺 In addition to 5 essences, you receive three course books and a dozen ebooks to fill your head and heart with the gentle wisdom of the flowers. 🌹 The class is on sale for a $50 discount till 9/25, and payment plans are available. See the link in @holisticlivingschool’s bio to learn more and save your spot. 🌺🌍🌻🌈🌼 #floweressences #rescueremedy #bachflower #flowerremedies

In these challenging times, we’ve adapted how we offer our classes by embracing the technical tools that allow us to connect virtually.⠀
⠀
Though we miss our in-person experiences we have done our best to be mindful in our use of technology and seek human connection through every scheduled online event. The heart of our organization is centered in that human connection that builds community that grows and supports its members. ⠀
⠀
Our ‘live virtual offerings’ are not just webinars, we are intentionally holding space for connection even with these technological challenges, and thrive with the participation of our students. We are grateful that we are able to expand our reach those outside of our physical, local radius. And we are grateful to all the students who have entrusted us to guide them on their herbalist journeys through these times of great transition. ⠀
⠀
It is with joy and mindfulness that we continue to offer our Online Family Herbalist Program next Spring. As promised we have announced the dates and are offering a deeply discounted early bird rate for those paid in full, and have also added new payment plan options with a new savings incentive for those who enroll now until October.
