Yin & Flowers Half Day Retreat at Bow Sanctuary

Join us this August as we enjoy a sunny, relaxing day at Bow Sanctuary as we learn how to make and use our own flower essences! Together, we will learn all about flower essences; what they are, how to use them, and we will even get to connect with the flowers on a deeper level through guided meditation and a calming yin flow.

Flower essences are vibrational medicine, derived from the life of flowers. They affect our spiritual and energetic bodies and help lift our mood, attitudes, and shift our thought patterns. The different frequencies from the flowers is what provides different aspects of healing. Animals and plants can also benefit from them. Floral healing has been seen in the great civilizations including China, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and India throughout history.

The ideal process of making flower essences involves sunny days, connection, and collaboration.

Since the vibrational energy of the flowers is the freshest in the morning, we’ll sit with the flowers at 8:45 am, focusing on our intention and honor and extend gratitude. Then we’ll pick the blossoms, combine them with the fertile, receptive energy of the water element, and start the infusion process. While the flowers are infusing in the sun, we will practice a peaceful yin flow in the garden, consisting of longer held poses as we align our thoughts and our breath with intention surrounding the flowers.

The second half of the workshop will consist of a nourishing meal and tea, then a discussion on plant spirit healing will take place. The workshop will end by us straining the flowers from the infusion and transferring the medicine into the individual flower essence bottles that every person will get to take home and use!

Through yin and flowers we will create our own flow and enhance individual health which will shape the wellness of the collective.

A bright, sunny day is necessary for this event. September 9th will be a backup event day should there be rain or smoke from wildfires. If the event is canceled, a full refund will be provided. An abbreviated version of the event could also take place.
