Bloom with the Flowers: Self-Expression through Plant Communication
Imagine you have access to an endless source of creative flow, right below your feet. You never doubt your artistic intuition or forget to practice your craft. With every step, you feel grounded in your ability to tap into a constant stream of energy and inspiration. You want to share your gifts with the world. This sharing feels like a natural unfolding. You bloom like a flower!
As Summer arrives, we often feel drained. We fill the longer daylight hours, time we wanted to spend deepening our creative practice, with all the tasks that call for completion, both inside and outside. We do the laundry, we work in the garden, we clean, and we care for others. We forget to give energy to the activities that feed our soul. We forget to lift our voices and give our creative practice to the world. We pay a high price for this forgetfulness: the death of our creative inspiration.
As a public school teacher, I know all too well how to give and give with no return. During the school year, my creative well often runs dry, and I find myself stuck in a bind of my own creation. My mind turns in on itself, resurfacing trauma, running on doubt and caffeine. I forget to write down my dreams. I forget to write at all, and the poems that play in my periphery fall on deaf ears, lost to the wind.
My story with plant communication
When I started to connect to plants as guides and messengers, I realized I had tapped into an evergreen means to remind myself of my own creative potential. The first thing that the flowers showed me was how to be like them: always rooted, always growing, always evolving. I learned how to work with the natural cycles that humans belong to as beings on Earth. Plants helped me access a flow of inspiration that always renews itself, and that I can tap into whenever I feel depleted.
The magic
Plant communication can be as simple as closing your eyes and breathing with the Earth. You can learn to connect to the green life around you in a simple way that gives you an endless supply of wisdom and creative inspiration. Each plant has something special to teach us about how to best embody our gifts and offer them to the world. Learn to listen in and they can teach you how to bloom.
What you will experience
In 7 modules we will move from burgeoning bud to full, expansive flower, as we learn from the flowers how to ease gracefully into sharing our creative gifts with the world. Every two weeks for seven sessions we will gather in a virtual circle, share with each other, do guided plant spirit meditations, and write or draw in response to prompts so that you can open more completely to creative practice and self-expression.
Our tools
The primary tools I share are guided meditations, writing prompts and methods of plant communication. We will also practice techniques like EFT tapping to melt our fears and break through our resistance to expressing ourselves in the world. Each individual hour and a half session would normally cost over $100, but this magical group container costs only $240 for the entire program.
Our sharing
In between calls, we'll share in a private Facebook group so that you will benefit from the support of others witnessing your process and cheering you on. In addition, I will formulate a special flower essence blend tailored to the work the group is doing which you will receive over the course of our weeks together.
What attendees of past rounds have experienced:
"[The course] opened up new places about communing with nature, being a part of nature and how vital that is if homo sapiens want to continue to live on this planet. This awareness has become a vital part of my spirituality; ideas and thoughts I have been developing in recent years. It was such a great opportunity to be around other participants who seem to be on the same wavelength."
- Wendy in California
"The connection to the women in the group was important and sweet… Amy will gently guide you to open your imagination and your heart in ways that will inspire you and surprise you."
- Carolyn in Vermont
