The Essence Essentials Membership

A home base for your flower essence journey with courses, community, and support.

Yes! Sign me Up

Welcome

You've discovered flower essences, maybe recently, maybe years ago, and something in you knows this is more than a passing interest.

Whether you're new to flower essences and want a supportive, guided place to begin or you've been using essences on your own and are looking for community and support, this membership is your home base. 

The Essence Essentials Membership gives you everything you need to build a grounded, confident self-practice with flower essences — learning resources, a live monthly circle, and a community of like-minded people to grow alongside.

Bring your questions, your experiences, and the things you're noticing that you can't quite explain yet.

That's what this membership is for.

Private Membership Community Forum

Between monthly meetings, the conversation continues in our private online community — a space to share discoveries, ask questions, and stay connected with mentors and fellow members.

Private Membership Community Forum

Monthly Self Care Circle

Once a month we gather on Zoom — a small, mentor-led group of flower essence explorers coming together to share, ask questions, and support each other's journey with the plants. Sessions are 90 minutes, facilitated by Kathleen Aspenns and Rochana Felde, with 30 minutes of optional social time afterward.

This is a space to:

  • Bring what's alive for you in your self-practice
  • Ask the questions you haven't had anywhere else to ask
  • Compare notes with others working with the essences
  • Receive witnessing, validation, and fresh perspective
  • Explore the subtler dimensions of essence work in good company

Schedule:

  • 4th Wednesday of the month
  • 10am Pacific | 1pm Eastern
  • 90 minutes facilitated circle
  • +30 minutes breakout room social time
  • Sessions are recorded for those who can't attend live

Share Experiences
Get Validation
Be Witnessed
Feel Supported

"Ro and Kathleen are incredibly generous in sharing their own personal experiences, as humans and practitioners, and create a safe place to explore complex, emotional topics during the live sessions. This was exactly what I needed at this point in time in regards to my own personal healing path as well as my holistic education path." — Tanya, student of Bach Flower Foundations

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • You're new to flower essences and want a supportive, guided place to begin
  • You're curious and self-directed — someone who learns by exploring, experimenting, and sharing what you notice
  • You've been using essences on your own and are ready for community and deeper understanding
  • You want learning resources and live connection together, not just one or the other

This is not for you if:

  • You're looking for one-on-one flower essence therapy — this is a group experience, not individual sessions
  • You're seeking crisis support or a substitute for professional mental health care
  • You're a practitioner or advanced student looking to deepen your clinical skills — the Essence Deepening Membership was built for that journey

We don't heal in isolation, but in community

FAQ


Are any of these courses available for free?

Yes — the Flower Essence Quickstart and the Bach Flower Learning Program are always free, no membership required. You can access them anytime:

Flower Essence Quickstart — Enroll Free
Bach Flower Learning Program — Enroll Free

* The Essence Essentials Membership adds something the free courses can't offer: a place to ask questions, compare notes, and talk through what you're experiencing with others who are on the same path. The Self Care Circle and community forum are where the learning comes alive.


Are there any prerequisites?

No — if you're new to flower essences this bundle contains everything you need to get up and running, beginning with the Flower Essence Quickstart. The monthly Self Care Circle does assume you've had this basic training so it can be more focused on the scenarios and experiences of using essences. 


Do I need to attend the Self Care Circle live?

No — all sessions are recorded and posted within 24 hours. Many members participate primarily through recordings and the community forum, and both are fully supported ways to engage.


When does the Self Care Circle meet?

Fourth Wednesday of the month, 10:00–11:30am Pacific. Check the calendar for updates. 


How long will I have access to the course bundle and recordings?

You have full access to all included courses, resources, and recordings for as long as your membership is active. If you cancel, your membership will remain active until your next billing date, at which time you'll lose access. 


Is there a refund policy?

Yes. You can request a full refund within 7 days of your first payment for any reason by emailing [email protected].


Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Membership is month-to-month and you can cancel at any time. You won't be billed beyond your current period.
