This weekend, I was lucky enough to head to the wild PNW coast for solstice. Living in the dry, high desert (which I also love), it is always a balm for my soul to walk through lush coastal forests. And at this time of year, everything is blooming and the first berries - salmonberries and red huckleberries - are already ripe. Love.

I've been walking these trails for decades. Singing, leaving offerings, and making medicine with the land. These forests have been generous.

And this year, a new friend emerged. Ghost Pipe.

This is such a rare and sacred plant. And it was so abundant on the trail this year! I asked if it wished to become an essence I could share, and the answer was a resounding yes.

Ghost pipe got super popular on social media recently, and it's already delicate populations have been in decline. Ghost pipe felt that it's essence was needed but through a more sustainable offering -- and voila! Ghost pipe flower essence is born ;)

​I'll be sharing this essence in my shop soon -- in the meantime, feel free to explore many other wonderful allies.​

If you'd like to learn how to make your own flower essences...join me this weekend!

>>>The Living Medicine: A Flower Essence Workshop is a 4.5-hour live online and immersive workshop happening on Sunday, June 28th at 9am PT.

But you may be asking...

Is it weird to learn flower essences and plant communication online?
What if the weather is bad?
Will there be a replay?

Good questions. Let’s answer them:

What if the weather is bad? Or if I don’t have access to land and flowers the day of the workshop?

Life happens. Nature has a mind of her own. We will work with all of this :) So come anyway!

The plant communication practices, the meditations, and the experience of working through the full process in a live group — all of this attunes you to the practice regardless of whether you actually go outside on June 28.

For many, following along with the process first, and then spending time in nature to make essences on your own later, is a wonderful way to learn this practice.

Will there be a replay?

Yes. Lifetime access — and if I ever take the course platform down, you'll have the option to download everything first. Not to mention, you’ll get a fabulous PDF guide in your course portal, which you can also download and keep ;)

I'm so burned out on online content.

I get it. We've been saturated with online programming since 2020, and it's only gotten worse with AI. It’s like somebody types "what's trending in wellness" into a chatbot, gets back "flower essences," generates a class outline, records themselves reading a script, and sells it for…$444. Because of course it’s $444. Ugh.

That’s not what this course is. I’m coming from more than two decades of personal practice and lifetime of experience communicating with the land and spirits of nature. When I teach, I do use notes, but I never just read them. I channel. What wants to come through in the moment comes through.

Also specific to this workshop: we won't be sitting at the computer the whole time. I've built in a rhythm of moving between inside and outside throughout the day — a short teaching or meditation, then you go out onto the land for a specific time frame, then we come back and connect around what you experienced. This back-and-forth is an intentional practice for exploring what a healthy relationship between technology and nature might look like.

I’m not sure now is the right time. Will you offer this again?

Not in this form. I’m only planning on teaching this live online once.

There will be a replay eventually — I’ll edit this content and share it as a course you can buy anytime. But that will come with a higher price and I don’t know when it will be available.
