Flower Essences: Making and Using Them

Flowers are the crowning glory of the plant world, gifting us with fragrance, color, beauty; attracting bees and butterflies. They also offer healing, in a wonderful form of botanical medicine called Flower Essences. These are not herbal tinctures, homeopathy, nor fragrant oil aromatherapy, but a more subtle and higher form of alchemical healing. If you are familiar with Bach's Rescue Remedy, that is one very limited example existing within the world garden of amazing essences from different producers. Flower Essences are as potentially vast as all the flower species existing, and their applied use includes a great range of methods and treatments.

This class will be a hands-on experience for learning how to make your own flower essences, and how to use them in basic and advanced ways. Flower Essences are safe and potently effective remedies for people, animals, plants and gardens.

The morning of this class will be devoted to essence making, and the afternoon to healing work which everyone will have an opportunity to experience. At the end of the day, you'll receive a bottle of the group-made flower essence to work with and enjoy.

Bring lunch & wear a garden hat if you are sun-sensitive.

Please register by May 15th: a maximum of 12 people will be accommodated.

Thinking, Perceiving and Communicating With The Plant World

“Oh Tiger “Lily”, said Alice....I wish you could talk!”
“We can talk”, said the Tiger Lily, “when there’s anyone
worth talking to.” Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Speaking, even sentient Plants! What an idea! This
is hardly part of normal, everyday consciousness.
Yet if that is where we are, it also where we must
begin to develop our sensitivities toward the
extraordinary, communicative life of the Plant
Kingdom.
Throughout the class will we engage our faculties in
different levels of perception to receive these
communications and work in various ways to
develop our "ears" and “eyes”: our spirit/soul
receptivity to plants and the worlds they live in.
Bring a lunch, notebook and favorite pencils and eraser
Dress accordingly for the weather

The Other Garden Zone: Using Hoophouses for Year Round Food Production

If you prefer eating your own produce as much as possible; have a wish to become a few degrees more self-sufficient or love gardening so much you don't like to stop in cold weather, keep reading!
This class will be loaded with information on cold-season growing: plants to choose; timing; techniques for seed starting; materials,structures and siting and what to expect. The 20'x48' hoophouse will be the main focus. Temporary low tunnels and cold frames in the "outdoor" garden will also be looked at as possibilities- and their limitations discussed.

 

Saturday, May 16th, 9:15-4:30 ~ Fee: 125.00

Metamorphosis: Botanical Key to the Elemental World

What is the "elemental world" of nature? As a threshold of physical and metaphysical experience, we can identify , understand it and its workings in our gardens and land. We needn't be "clairvoyant" to perceive this reality, but instead, develop higher faculties of thought and observation.

The Plant Kingdom is a key to Time and Space. With a grounding in Goethe's living method of metamorphosis, we can hold the key and come to know higher levels of evolution, as well.

This class will include learning some basic botany; engaging in imaginative/perceptual exercises; acquaintanceship with the elements earth, water, air, fire and quintessence; and fun, exploratory drawing. You needn't be a skilled artist at all- just be able to make marks on paper and be willing to "see" differently.

Bring a lunch, sketchbook and favorite pencils & eraser. Tea and afternoon snack provided. Clipboards, large sheets of paper and supplemental pencils will be available.

As this is an intensive class, please register and pre-pay by May 1, 2009.
