Have you ever felt this way?
👉 Unclear about how to structure, market, and talk about your service offerings
👉 Isolated and wishing for a space to discuss your challenges with people who speak the language of flower essences and understand what you’re going through
👉 Unsure about the way you're working, the situations you've faced, and the way you've handled them
👉 Unconfident because you don’t have a lot of experience working with Flower Essence Therapy clients
Starting and growing a client practice isn't easy, especially on your own
The truth is, the public still needs to be educated about Flower Essence Therapy
The field of Flower Essence Therapy is particularly challenging because it's not well known.
It requires us to creatively communicate our work and our offerings, so that we can meet people where they are and help our modality become better known and established.
You don't have to do it alone!
Rather than struggling on our own, we propose to do this work together, supporting one another while developing our businesses

Praise
"I found this group to be very helpful in that it gave so many varied perspectives on practices. It provided a place to share and to get helpful ideas from others with the same passion for flowers and their powerful soul healing. The moderators in the group were very guided in allowing the sharing and helping to put these ideas into practice. I will definitely be joining the next cohort!"
Arnelle"This group truly deepened my understanding of the essences and also the various ways they can be used with clients. It absolutely raised my self-confidence in working with clients and the essences! I am so grateful for the group! It provided a place where I felt I was among friends on the same journey and equal. Whether I participated actively in class or not, I always walked away having gained so much more insight."
Amberly"Ruth, Kathleen, and Rochana are an incredibly magical trio of guides to the flower kingdom. I am so appreciative of the breadth of wisdom and knowledge that was shared through them. So grateful!"

Questions & Answers
You're expected to have gone through flower essence practitioner training, whether from our school or another, as this group doesn't replace that training. This group is for those who have a business practice or are beginning one.
January through June 2025. Live sessions for 5 months plus 1 extra month of community access.
Upon registration you'll get access to our online community which contains the meeting information and Zoom links. You'll also be sent reminder emails in advance of the meeting, and recordings of the meetings will be uploaded within 24 hours. You can access the community space 24/7 during the program for as long as you have an active subscription.
While we hope you'll make a dedicated commitment to the program, you can cancel your subscription and you won't be billed for future months.
If you paid in full you can request a refund of future months not used.
In both instances you won't be refunded the current or previous month's fees, and you'll immediately lose access to the community and the recordings.
Example: The program starts in January, you subscribe and the program fee is collected monthly. If you cancel during the month of March you will most likely have been billed three times (Jan, Feb, March). You will not be billed for April and May.
Enrollment for this program will be open until the end of February 2025, but we suggest you join in January to get the most out of your time with us.
While we hope you'll make a dedicated commitment to the program, you can cancel your subscription and you won't be billed for future months. You will immediately lose access to the community and the recordings.
You can access the community space and recordings 24/7 during the 6-month program, as long as you have an active subscription or are paid in full.
