Rediscover the Bach Flower Essences!

Take a plant centric deep dive into the classic Bach flower remedies and learn how they're used in contemporary Flower Essence Therapy

  • Do you have Bach flower essences that you rarely use but would like to get to know better?

  • Do you yearn for a deeper understanding of these foundational essences so you can use them with more confidence and nuance?

  • Have you tried to understand the Bach personality type and found it difficult? Would you like to know how these types appear in everyday life, in their less extreme manifestations?

  • If you work with clients, is it sometimes awkward to explain why you chose Heather or Beech for their formula? Would you like to learn more inclusive and gentle language when you introduce the healing qualities of these essences so clients won't feel judged?

We love and deeply value these classic Bach essences in the practice of Flower Essence Therapy and encourage you to think about using them as expansively as we do

In this training, we discuss and build on the strong foundation of Dr. Bach's legacy and Julian Barnard's core teachings in the Bach Flower Learning Program, adding to this body of work with information gained from decades of clinical experience.

These courses were taught live and recorded in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 — with a cohort of students whose contributions to the discussions were an invaluable part of the experience.

As a group, we felt our understanding of these 21 essences grow and deepen beautifully within this safe and sacred container. By watching these recordings, you become part of this container as well.

We'll cover the remaining 17 Bach flower essences in 2025 with Parts Three and Four of the series, which will be sold as separate courses.

This bundle includes Parts One & Two of a Four-Part Series. Catch up before we offer Parts Three and Four in 2025!

Praise for Bach Flowers in Contemporary Practice Part One
I have loved diving deep into the Bach essences. I did a level one with the Nelson's company and it was so different. It is not even comparable to what you’re offering.

This course is allowing us to dig deeply and understand each of the flowers and each of the remedies in a way that's just really, really important to this work.

When I found you I was so excited like, “Oh my gosh, there's other people out there”. I couldn't believe it, even though I kind of knew. So thank you. Thank you all.
Heather M.
I've been working with flower essences for 39 years. I have 30-40 books and I've learned through reading the descriptions from different authors. I’ve also done some training including Bach.

What I was missing was the relationship with the plants. Now I'm ready to have that relationship go deeper with the flower essences.

I've had a relationship with them all these years, but now I feel like they're friends and they're living beings through this course — like I can really lean on them for myself and other people. So I get chills just talking about it. So thank you. I can't wait for the next one.

My journey began with the Bach essences and I've done their training.

I found this class added so much depth and aliveness. It illuminated these essences in a far deeper way than even what I learned at the Bach Level III training. It's really brought it into the present, and I feel much more attuned with the plants now.

I hope that you'll do the rest of remedies like this because it's been a game-changer for me. You have created something special and drew us all in. And it's just been amazing for me.

Yes! Julian Barnard's Bach Flower Learning Program is and will always be Free on our site and you can access it any time, regardless if you purchase this course.
We offer a certificate of completion for taking this course, but we don't "certify" or offer a "Bach Flower Practitioner Program" at this time. We do however offer the FES Practitioner Certification Program, which does include the all Bach flower essences. Note that the practice of Flower Essence Therapy is not a licensed profession in the United States, so the title you use in your practice is up to you and depends on your overall training and what feels authentically correct.
Yes. Due to regulatory restriction of the term "remedy" for products in the United States, "essence" is generally used instead. The exception is the brand name "Bach Original Flower Remedies" for the product produced by Nelson's. Therefore we tend to use both "Bach flower essence" and "Bach flower remedy" interchangeably so that it's understood we're talking about both.. Whatever the term used, these refer to the same type of substance, regardless of brand.
