This workshop is an experiential exercise in learning the basic elements of flower essences.  You will learn how the subtle energies of a plant can bring balance and harmony to all who take them.

The first half of the class, you will take a journey into the plant world to learn about plant consciousness and their purpose on this planet.

During portions of the morning and afternoon, we will concentrate on bottling essences that you make from scratch.

You will learn

• how to make a Mother tincture, stock, and a dosage bottle
• how to potentize the essence
• how to identify the proper dosage amounts for yourself and others, including animals
• about healing crises, and how to respond to them

During the course we will compare different philosophies of various brands....Bach, Green Hope Farms, and FES (Flower Essence Services). 

As part of the afternoon, we will focus on the Bach flower essence line of 38 essences and learn  guidelines on determining and choosing the correct flower essence for the issues/illnesses that affect both human and animal.   You will be making a combination essence from the Bach essences.  

We will also touch upon the Green Hope Animal Care Line of 22 Essences, formulated specifically for animals and their issues.  A brief introduction to FES (Flower Essence Services) will be made as well for students attending this flower essence introduction.  This is a strong foundation course to build upon for further flower essence studies and applications, and intergration of flower essence use with animals and their people.

Requirements:

• Purchase the book "Bach Flower Remedies for Animals"
  by Helen Graham and Gregory Vlamis prior to class, and bring with you.
• Bring a dedicated notebook for Essence notes.
• Choose an issue that one of your animal companions, yourself, or a family member has at this time, and that you would like to address through the creation of a combination essence from the Bach line.  You will formulate a custom blend for this specfic issue.  The issue needs to be identified, with the symptoms/behaviors you would like to address.
• For the May 19, 2007, course, please also bring a small houseplant, or purchase and bring a small plant, with roughly a 4" pot.  Please bring in a non-tippable/non-leakable container as a courtesy to the hosting location to avoid clean-up concerns. 
• Bring any Bach essences with you that you may already have purchased previously.
  (A full set will also be on site.)
• All other course materials will be provided and are included in the workshop fee.
• Please bring your own bottled water and lunch to the class for the day. 

At the end of the class, you will have made an essence from scratch, as well as a combination essence.  You will have a set of tools that will enable you to begin making your own essences, or have the confidence to make combination essences from existing Flower Essence lines.

This workshop does not go into detail of plant anatomy or plant signatures, two of the main components of learning about flower essences. This workshop is to introduce you to the fundamentals of flower essences in an experiential way, understand how they work, and raise your comfort level in using flower essences for humans and animals.

(Animals are not able to attend at this location.  You are encouraged to bring photographs of your animal companions.)

This course is facilitated by
Linda Epstein of Energetic Therapies for People & Animals . . . . .

Linda is a practitioner in the Metaphysical Healing Arts for animals, humans and the land.  She has been in private practice for the past three years.  Her practice includes various energetic Healing Modalities including:  Flower essence therapy, crystal healing therapy, attunements in Usui Reiki, Karuna Ki, Shamballa,s and Violet Flame Reiki.  Linda is also an Animal Communicator with clients located throughout the United States .

Linda's love of animals and nature began when she was just a child playing in the backyard when a squirrel approached her and became her friend. No words were ever passed, but there was a connection of love and respect between them. She could feel his emotions, and so began the odyssey where chipmunks, birds, squirrels, dogs and cats sought her out for comfort.

She began her healing practice after the passing of her beloved Rhodesian ridgeback, Riki. Through him, she embarked on a journey that led to a spiritual awakening. In his honor she decided to dedicate her life to help bridge the communication gap between animal and their human companion. It was also at this time she found that she had a natural ability to heal.

Linda studied Animal Communication under Carol Schultz, and energetic healing under Reverend Rocha and Mary Baumstark.  She continues taking courses to improve her skills for the benefit of her clients.

Linda volunteers her communication skills and healing abilities to a no kill shelter, helping the animals to cope with the stress of abuse and abandonment.  She lives in Island Lake, Illinois, with her husband, three dogs, and one African Gray parrot.
