FEP81 The gift of soul-aligned community
Kathleen and Rochana discuss the magical and healing benefits of belonging to a safe and soul-aligned community, while acknowledging the challenges faced by empaths and those recovering from toxic community experiences.
We explore flower and gem essences for maintaining healthy discernment, grounding, and boundaries, for feeling more at ease so you can show up as who you actually are, and for feeling coherence in spaces with others.
No matter where you are in the process, the community of Nature, plants, and animals is always there for you. And if you use flower essences and yearn to talk about it with like-minded souls, stay tuned for our upcoming Soul Circle beginning in 2026.
FEP71 Connecting to the Unseen World with Help from Flower Essences
Recorded during the liminal time of year when the veil between the worlds is thin (Halloween, Samhain, Day of the Dead), Rochana and Kathleen discuss how we connect to the unseen — plant devas, our dearly departed, ancestors, angels, and spirit guides.
Animism, a belief that spirit is alive in everything, is a basic principle of making flower essences as we view it as a co-creative activity between ourselves and the spirit of the plant.
We don’t need to turn to psychedelic plant medicines to connect with spirit beings. Flower essences can help us open to spiritual connection, practice discernment, and invoke protection on our journeys. Join us for this interesting conversation as we bring in some of our favorite plant spirit helpers.
FEP44 The Courageous Heart
Kathleen and Rochana explore what it means to maintain heart-centered courage in the face of extended adversity — notably during the pandemic and natural disasters related to climate change. Collectively we are all dealing with disconnection and the grief of what has been lost, and we need strength for what we are still going through during this time of uncertainty. Flower essences can help us stay present, connected, and embodied while nurturing our heart and helping us cultivate compassion for ourselves and others.
FEP31 Isolation and Loneliness
As we move into the dark Winter season, the usual options for connection and celebration are not available to us this year. What can we do to support our spirits, to build a sense of connection and belonging in this disconnected world? Join us for a discussion of flower essences and strategies to remedy isolation and loneliness.
Kathleen and Rochana welcome Heidi Smith back to the podcast! Author of The Bloom Book – A Flower Essence Guide to Cosmic Balance, Heidi is a psychosomatic therapist, registered herbalist, and flower essence practitioner based in New York.
In this episode we dive into her latest book, The Uncommon Book of Prayer: A Guide to Co-Creating with the Universe. After unraveling and reframing the term “prayer”, we explore flower and vibrational essences that support divine connection, ritual, affirmation, and intention. Enjoy this illuminating discussion just in time for the Winter Solstice.
