Making Your Own Flower Essences / Relax and Meditate / Bach Flower Remedies / Mix And Match Days / For Therapists And Healers

MAKING YOUR OWN FLOWER ESSENCES, WITH THE RAINBOW HEALING GARDEN

An opportunity to co-create with Nature Spirits an Essence just for you, which will be safe and easy to use for many benefits in your life. Having clarified your purpose, and attuned with Nature, you are guided through all the steps of making your own Essence, and how to use it to greatest benefit. You will be drawn to the plant who answers your need. You will explore more of what your essence is about, and how to use it in many ways throughout your life; and learn more about what Essences are and how to use them, including Bach Flower Remedies. Children often intuitively understand and respond easily to Nature Essences; if interested, they are welcome with a parent. Past participants enjoyed a deeply moving and healing experience.

RELAX AND MEDITATE Currently offered BY PRIVATE BOOKING, see also "Mix and Match Days" Below

Unwinding through a day of practising the simple yet empowering skills of presence, focus, quiet mind, and compassion; with life tools including breath and posture; and most importantly integrating these powers into your daily living.

A gentle day, for health and enjoyment, to practice simple powerful techniques – breathing, sitting, walking. Suitable also for young people 14+. Your own questions answered. Letting go and forgiveness, and becoming more aware of how patterns of thinking, outlook and belief contribute to levels of stress or ease in daily living. Guidance for developing regular practice, and integration are key to this day. Accompanied children (from age 14 years) are welcome. Suitable for beginners and people of all backgrounds.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES (AND NATURE VIBRATIONAL ESSENCES**) Currently offered BY PRIVATE BOOKING, see also "Mix and Match Days" Below

Bach Remedies, 38 gifts from nature, are safe and wonderful means to help us be well, and develop positive attitudes. "Treat the person, not the disease, the cause and not the symptom." This was core to Edward Bach's approach to health, far ahead of his time! Learning to choose and use these safe and simple gifts from Nature for yourself, family, friends, garden and pets. We will study how to use them in many ways, figure out 'which for what'. A very practical day, with an introduction to the equally empowering philosophy of Dr. Bach's "Heal Thyself". Particular attention to your questions about individual Remedies, and with Julian Barnard's inspiring DVD "The Twelve Healers".
