Thriving During and After Significant Illness with Flower Essences

Monday Nights - January 17, 24, 31, February 7
8-9:30 PM (Eastern)
Instructor: Deborah Bier, PhD
4 weeks
$150; 1 essence dosage bottle and shipping included*

Significant illness or injury calls massive change into our lives -- like it or not! Some people struggle deeply with these changes. Others thrive, learning to gracefully make adjustments that allow them to be happier, more balanced and in harmony than ever before.

This 4-session course is especially appropriate for people who have recovered from an illness, but who are still dealing with the life-wide interruption it caused. If you have become more healthy but are still working to move past your experience of illness, then this is also the class for you!

Flower essences are a fantastic tool to help us recover our spirits, hope and motivation to move forward in our lives -- despite significant illness. Essences can help us move with better acceptance into any life-change, and ready us for our next adventures in living.

This course will present some new ways of looking at the process of thriving despite illness, and why many people do not. Through the use of a questionnaire, each student will have a personal essence or essence blend chosen for and sent to them by the instructor, which they will use throughout the course. (*Course fee includes one essence dosage bottle shipping anywhere to the lower 48 US states...shipping beyond can be arranged.)

Over the 4 weeks, we will talk about how particular essences might be helpful during each step of the process, learn new tools for recovery and ongoing wellness, and reconnect with and celebrate our strengths...all designed to move us from surviving to thriving!

The plant kingdom offers powerful healing for those who understand how to tap into its potential. In this two-session class, we will introduce a new way of understanding healing with plants. We'll talk about:

  • The 5 dimensions of plant healing
  • Recent research into the health benefits of plants
  • A multi-faceted view of why we have so much chronic illness
  • Ways that plants can prevent future disease

If you love plants and are interested in healing, you will enjoy this way of understanding the many ways they benefit us. This online course is a lively interaction of discussion, lecture, questions and answers in chat format.

Fine-Tuning Bach Flower Remedy Selection

February 19, 26, March 5, 12
2-3:30 PM (Eastern), 11 AM-12:30 PM (Pacific)
Instructor: Connie Barrett
$135.00


In this online class, we will go beyond superficial descriptions of Bach Flower Remedies to make in-depth distinctions between remedies in a way that entertains while it teaches.

Speaking of a previous class, a student said, "The class helped me in so many ways. I feel so much more adept at working with the essences because of it. Your real-life examples clarified the essence prescriptions so beautifully -- thank you for that!. . .. Sometimes a person just can't get the whole picture from reading only -- sometimes interaction with a teacher is necessary. I'll be forever grateful."

While the course follows an outline, the online interaction often leads to spontaneous conversations and discoveries that enrich our understanding of the remedies. This class is for you, and your specific concerns and questions will be addressed and discussed.

We will bring the essences to life in a spirit of fun and creativity by using improvisational techniques. Each student will have at least one chance to act out the characteristics of a Bach Flower Remedy personality type while interacting with another.

Before this online class starts, the instructor will give you a private consultation by email and select one primary Remedy for you to take during the course of the class. You will also learn methods, such as journaling and dream work, to enhance your experience of the Remedy.

Course materials will include selected readings from Vibration Magazine and from a book the instructor is writing about Bach Flower Remedies. This class is appropriate for anyone with some knowledge of Bach Flower Remedies.

Connie Barrett is a frequent contributor to Vibration Magazine, originator of three popular email courses teaching the use of essences and crystals, and editor of Rainbow Reflections and Living with Crystals, email publications from Beyond the Rainbow.

Creativity with Bach Flower Remedies

April 2, 9, 16, 23
2-3:30 PM (Eastern), 11 AM-12:30 PM (Pacific)
Instructor: Connie Barrett
$135.00


Creativity is key to the well-lived life. In its broadest sense, creativity is the ability to imagine and design a life that fully expresses your dreams. Creativity is not the exclusive property of visual artists, writers, dancers, or those active in any of the fields we consider "artistic."

Prior to the class, you will receive a questionnaire designed to discover the areas in which your creativity is blocked. The instructor will recommend an initial remedy based on this.

In the class itself, you will both choose a goal to work on during the course and learn about a number of key remedies in the areas of decision-making and creativity. Though Connie will have an outline for the course, she expects that together you all will create and explore an agenda that will meet all students' needs.
