Kathleen and Rochana discuss the magical and healing benefits of belonging to a safe and soul-aligned community, while acknowledging the challenges faced by empaths and those recovering from toxic community experiences.

We exlore flower and gem essences for maintaining healthy discernment, grounding, and boundaries, for feeling more at ease so you can show up as who you actually are, and for feeling coherence in spaces with others.

No matter where you are in the process, the community of Nature, plants, and animals is always there for you. And if you use flower essences and yearn to talk about it with like-minded souls, stay tuned for our upcoming Soul Circle beginning in 2026.

In this episode, Kathleen and Rochana introduce the 12 Windows of Plant Perception, a multi-dimensional approach to plant study developed by the Flower Essence Society. It's a significant component of our Flower Essence Practitioner Training Program, and helps us to cultivate a living, holistic understanding of a plant and its healing signatures.

We discuss our experience with this approach and some of the "windows" explored during our in-depth study of the Chicory and Queen Anne's Lace flower essence plants.

Learn about the objective and subjective practice of plant observation, how plant stories help cultures maintain stable information over time, and be encouraged to try it yourself!

In this episode, Kathleen and Rochana bring you an excerpt from their new course, Bach Flower Foundations, now open for registration at the School for Flower Essence Studies.

We share a segment from the module, Bach Flowers for Modern Life, where we springboard from Dr. Bach's original insights on personality types to think in terms of the Bach flowers as archetypes representing personality "parts" and how they interact in relationships.

It's a fascinating discussion highlighting some of the most "active" Bach flower archetypes and some corresponding "reactive" patterns, with examples that help us understand these personality parts better. It's a great way to envision some of the characteristics of the Bach flowers that we cover comprehensively in the course.
