After facilitating a few cohorts through a group study of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron we created this workshop, which has now been taught at multiple online herbal schools. This workshop uses teachings from The Artist’s Way and personal experience as an artist to open people up to creativity through reflection exercises and communing with plants.

In this class, participants are led through an exercise in creating an abstract painting of a flower that holds the essence of what we need right now to create beautiful futures in our world. Through this exercise they are introduced to various Flower Essences and how to use them. Through this experience I introduce people to what flower essences are so they have them as a tool in their own healing and also give people an opportunity to empower their creative selves through painting through what they feel, detached from visual outcome.

Created and presented for an intergenerational online herbal school for students to better understand gender expression and language. This workshop also included ways we can incorporate herbs to support the expansion of our understanding of gender, no matter where we are. This workshop became part of the curriculum for Herbal Medicine for the Soul.
