Kathleen Aspenns and Rochana Felde are joined by Ruth Toledo Altschuler to embrace the energy of creativity as a lifeline that sustains us with aliveness during challenging times.
We discuss:
- How flower essences and gem elixirs can be used to spark and nourish creativity whether or not we think we’re creative
- How the creative process itself can be liberating and an integral part of healing because it's connected to the vital life force within us
- How using art, writing, and creative acts as therapeutic tools in conjunction with Flower Essence Therapy can be synergistic for both processes
And we honor the creative energy of Spring bursting forth in the Northern Hemisphere. Happy Equinox!

In this episode Kathleen and Rochana dive into the current energy of overwhelm that so many are feeling.
We bring in our favorite tried and true flower essences and gem elixirs for not only managing the onslaught, but also strengthening our fields and building resilience. Whether the overwhelm comes from too much information, energy, emotions, sensory signals, environmental factors, or all of the above, Nature helps bring us back into balance.

In this episode, Kathleen and Rochana welcome back our partner in the School for Flower Essence Studies, Ruth Toledo Altschuler.
During these times of progressive overwhelm, we believe that Nature is here for us, and we have the capacity to take in new information when we attune to the plants. In light of this, we’re excited to embark on a deep exploration of nine more Bach Flowers in our upcoming study group, which is more like an “experience group”.
We discuss the value of having a solid foundation of lineage teachings to build on — in this case, Dr. Edward Bach’s original discoveries which have been much enhanced by Julian Barnard’s lifetime contributions in this field.
Now, we as modern practitioners have further evolved the way we use and talk about the Bach flowers in our practices. Bach flowers are well combined with the concept of parts work (Internal Family Systems) and other contemporary ways of addressing emotional challenges, affirming that they’re more relevant than ever.
🌸
Bach Flowers in Contemporary Practice is our in-depth Bach flower essence study group in which we slow down to learn directly from the plants and the people who have long been using these essences with clients. You’re invited to join our upcoming iteration beginning February 20th, 2025. This is Part Three of a series, but can be taken in any order!
Be sure to register by February 7th to save $30!

In this episode, we explore herbs, flower essences, and homeopathy through a shamanic lens with celebrated herbalist, author, and teacher Matthew Wood. He's been a practitioner of these modalities for forty-five years and teaches at the Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism.
Matt shares stories from his life's journey with the plants and from his most recent book, A Shamanic Herbal - Plant Teachers and Animal Medicine.
In this wide-ranging conversation, we touch on fascinating connections between wild animal archetypes and plants, including some of the flower essence plants that we know and love. Taking it further, we discuss shadow work that may come up for processing during the dark of winter and these broader Plutonian times, and the light-bringing plants that can help us through.

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.
Essences discussed:
- Angelica
- Hairy Angelica
- Forget-Me-Not
- Hound’s Tongue
- Mountain Forget-Me-Not
- Yarrows
- Siberian Yarrow
- Black Tourmaline
- Hematite

- Guardian

In this episode, Katheen and Rochana navigate the nervous system responses when triggered or emotionally activated. How do we recognize when it’s happening and what are some things we can do immediately to cope? How can we work with these deeply embedded reactions that at minimum feel uncomfortable but often are painful and uncontrollable? We discuss the importance of releasing emotion from the body and using flower essences to assist in creating a safe container for this work, as we strive to increase resilience and regain equilibrium in our lives.

In this episode we dive into the concept of life purpose, what that means, and how to uncover and pursue it with support from Nature and the flower essences.
We talk about the Japanese concept of Ikigai to look at the different pieces that come together to inform an overall sense of purpose, how to center ourselves, listen to our inner wisdom, and embody the guidance coming in from higher realms. We bring in essences to help with that, to give us the strength to forge ahead and permission to spark our creativity in this process. Essences discussed:

This episode is an excerpt from an upcoming course we’re working on, Foundations in Flower Essence Therapy, which will be available from the School for Flower Essence Studies in early fall 2024.
We talk about the importance of using calming and centering essences when beginning to use essences for ourselves and others. It’s a really good first step, and sometimes all that’s needed. There are times we may want to skip over this and go right to essences that work with deeper challenges, but we’ve seen time and again the value of starting with calming and centering approaches to help the nervous system feel safer and more embodied.
Essences discussed:
- Star of Bethlehem
- Lavender
- Chamomile
- Vervain
- Corn
- Yarrow
- Pink Yarrow

In this episode, Kathleen and Rochana discuss what it's like on the business side of being a Flower Essence Practitioner. We share our stories and some of the common challenges when setting out on your own as a service entrepreneur (hello imposter syndrome, overwhelm, and undervaluing!), and offer some helpful essence ideas for working through them.
We've found that participating in masterminds, group coaching/mentoring, and community forums are incredibly helpful to this process. The value of hearing from your peers, their struggles and questions, learning how they solve them, and the wisdom that evolves from the group mind, cannot be underestimated.
NEW! Announcing the Professional Practice Mentoring Group launching at the School for Flower Essence Studies. It's a unique online community space with live group coaching meetings, beginning May 1st. We're piloting it for 6 months, and we'd love for you to be part of it!

Misinformation, Disinformation, Propaganda, Artificial Intelligence, Deep Fakes, Brainwashing, Phishing, Spam, Scammers, PsyOps, Cults, and sleazy Marketing, oh my!
There’s a war at play for our attention, our thoughts, our beliefs, and of course our money – whether it's just an advertisement to buy a product or something more complex with higher stakes.
It’s crucial now more than ever to cultivate skills of discernment, to be able to listen to that voice inside that raises a flag on what we see and hear. Yet, the daily practice of this can breed skepticism and distrust that may block the flow of life energy.
How can flower essences help us with this practice in a healthy way, so we can navigate and survive these times?

Meet Australian Flower Essence Practitioner Tracy O'Meara Smith!
Tracy combines Flower Essence Therapy with a gentle and holistic form of bodywork (Bowen Therapy), and through this integration guides clients through periods of profound inner transformation, crisis, and pain. She empowers individuals to trust their intuition, act on newfound insights, and discover effective ways to cope, live, and ultimately be.
Well-versed in the Australian essences, Tracy was recently certified by the Flower Essence Essence Society through the online Practitioner Certification Training Program taught by Ruth Toledo Altschuler.
Our conversation spans her profoundly connective experience of participating in an Aboriginal flower pit ceremony, how the FES training up-leveled her understanding of flower essence therapy, and the deep integration that bodywork brings to the process.

Ever wonder how we got from Dr. Bach’s research to where we are today? In the late 1970s and 80s there was a simultaneous explosion of new flower essences being discovered, researched, and produced around the world. Yet, this “second wave” of producers didn’t initially know about one another until the first international conference was held.
Ruth Toledo Altschuler came on the scene just as these gatherings began to happen, and she became a major importer of essences into Brazil at that time. In this episode, we have the honor of hearing her stories and adventures — how she met the people and visited the places of the FES, Alaskan, Australian essences, and more, in these early days of the post-Bach flower essence renaissance.
Join us for this rare treat and glimpse into the modern history of flower essences.

We went to the movies! And saw Barbie! This was a rare treat for us, as we live on opposite sides of the county. We laughed so hard, then had a great chat about it during lunch, and we knew right away we wanted to discuss some of the themes in our next podcast.
We address some typical challenges experienced by those of us not at the top of the patriarchy:
- constant feelings of not being enough and having to work twice as hard to get less
- feeling obligated to do more for others than for ourselves and letting our self care suffer
- being too "nice" and putting on a happy mask to appease those with more power
We talk about essences for these states and to boost a general feeling of empowerment.
There's no spoilers except for a certain kick-ass monologue that we just had to repeat. But if you haven't seen the movie, go take some self-care time and do it!

Have you ever thought about the co-creative act of making a flower essence as a spiritual or self-development practice in and of itself?
It requires surrendering to the moment, really listening to Nature, and going with the flow to accept all parts of the experience. The lessons the plants impart in the process may continue long after the essence is bottled, so an awareness must also be cultivated to notice, interpret, and work with what comes up.
Kathleen and Rochana reflect on how years of essence making have enhanced their individual personal growth — in all its messy glory.
Do you make flower essences? We'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts on this topic!
If you haven't made them yourself, is this something that you'd like to try?

In this episode, Kathleen and Rochana explore the relevance of the classic Bach flower remedies in today’s increasingly complex and overwhelming world.
How do they compare to the more modern essences available? Are people different now than they were in the 1930s? Have our needs changed?
It’s interesting to reflect on the world events of Dr. Bach’s time and his personal evolution as a physician that led him to become the creator of these famous remedies.
We also share our thoughts about blending the Bach flower remedies with essences and elixirs from other systems, and why gem elixirs may be an important addition for those who’ve worked with flowers for some time.

Rather than setting New Year's resolutions and diving headfirst to start smashing goals on January 1st, Kathleen and Rochana talk about a more Nature-based approach of first letting go, going within, and going with the flow during the dark days of winter here in the Northern Hemisphere.
True to form, Nature reinforced that lesson for us with the California storms (hello water element) that brought flooding and extended outages, testing our ability to literally go with the flow as this recording had to be rescheduled multiple times.
Learn about some of the essences we use to cultivate receptivity and calm flexibility for a more natural approach to planning and goal setting. We discuss:
- Baby Blue Eyes
- Almond
- Vervain
- Polar Ice
- Greenland Icecap
- Tidal Forces
- Rock Water
- Rock Springs
- Lavender
- Motherwort
- Wild Oat
Join us in welcoming in the year of the Yin Water Rabbit, which further speaks to the energies of this time. 💧🐇

Ruth Toledo Altschuler joins us for our 50th show!
As a returning guest of the podcast and partner in the Flower Essence Conference, you'll most likely be familiar with the incredible depth of insight Ruth has in Flower Essence Therapy. She has been a practitioner and educator for over three decades, and has a unique combination of experience unparalleled in the field.
In this episode, we talk about understanding flower essences in the context of their botanical families.
When we are able to group essence plants this way, patterns emerge that can help us to find the right essence faster for a given concern.
And when we apply the observation of the plant signature, we can better see the distinctions of their healing qualities within their family.
This plant-centric system of learning about flower essences is something the three of us resonate deeply with.💚

We are absolutely thrilled to have Lindsay Fauntleroy as our guest this month!
Lindsay is an educator, acupuncturist, director of The Spirit Seed, and maker of Elementals Essences.
Our conversation centered around the five element system as a process for understanding our own cycles, as well as where we are collectively in this moment and what beautiful flower essence is coming forward.
We talk about Lindsay's new book, "In Our Element: Using the Five Elements as Soul Medicine to Unleash Your Personal Power", and the inspirational way she combines flower essences, yoga poses and music playlists as medicine for the body, mind and soul.
We love how she joyfully weaves together Eastern medicine, western psychology, and African ancestral principles of spirituality in a modern way that is easy to understand, actionable and accessible.

This month we are joined by Sara Artemisia — a Flower Essence Practitioner, Plant Spirit Wisdom Teacher, and host of the Plant Spirit Podcast and the Plant Spirit Herbalism Summit.
Our discussion is a rich exploration of soul purpose and the re-emergence of the divine feminine, with deep wisdom and powerful activation by the Wild Roses and Queen Anne's Lace.
Honoring the wisdom embedded in traditional fairy tales, we delve into the symbolism of Sleeping Beauty/Briar Rose and how it relates to the modern day awakening of divine feminine consciousness.
We talk about the journey of finding our purpose as not being a single act but rather a series of intuitive steps on our life path, and learning to trust the guidance all around us with help from the plants and flower essences.

Join us for a deep dive into the plant signatures and flower essence energetics of our two favorite trees: Redwood and Magnolia. These ancient beings have been on the planet since dinosaurs roamed the earth, and we think they have much wisdom for us.
Redwoods are the tallest tree, one of the longest living, and grow in groups that are connected by their root system. They help us see the big picture, be resilient, and foster community — while connecting us to the earth and our own ancient sacredness.
Magnolias are one of the first flowering plants on the planet, and they imbue us with hope and enthusiasm for this earthly experience. They aid us in fully inhabiting our bodies so we can access our unique gifts and pursue our life’s work.

- Insights of the natal chart as a type of signature and how this can inform the process of transforming difficult aspects into gifts.
- How to work through karmic imprints to discover the beauty of the original Self.
- How generational patterns from outer planet placements also come into the picture as part of the process of collective evolution.

Flower Essences can support you in this time of inner and outer change.

Join Kathleen and Rochana with special guest Sarah Holmes, Clinical Herbalist, Herbal Highway Co-Host, and Teacher at the Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine.
We chat about how she incorporates flower essences and "spirit doses" of herbal tinctures in her practice. And we go deep into conversation about the interconnectedness of mind/body/spirit, how spirit medicine does have physical affect and conversely, how physical issues can affect the spirit.

Most of us enjoy the energy and enthusiasm of spring, but there are challenges as well. In this episode, we discuss the season from the perspectives of various world traditions, how to support liver detoxification in spring, what to do about grouchiness and irritability, and how to maintain focus and momentum to accomplish your goals.
Emotions such as grief and heartbreak can lodge in our hearts. Join us for a discussion of flower and gem essences to heal your heart.
We are often asked how we know what a flower essence does. In this episode, we share tips to develop a personal relationship with Nature intelligence and to communicate with plants directly. Plant attunement is a skill anyone can learn, and is useful whether you ever plan to make a flower essence or not.
Ruth shares her insights and wisdom from decades of practice of flower essence therapy and education. Her focus is on the Soul Journey and helps her clients harmonize their inner feminine and masculine qualities, known as the Inner Marriage.
Each season has challenges, and in Winter our spirits can struggle with lack of sunlight, SAD, low moods exacerbated by the inability to get out as much, and the overall post holiday hangover. Join us as we discuss flower essences to help support your mood, find clarity, and enhance the positive aspects of the season, to pause, rest and reset.
Learn coping strategies for holiday travel and family gatherings. Flower essences can help sensitives with the stress of travel and navigating airports and planes. You can also support your inner sense of groundedness and stability, and strengthen your boundaries as you interact with your family members.
The recent wildfires here in California resulted in stress, dislocation, and crisis for residents and their pets. Flower Essence formulas can be vital supports for us as we experience evacuations, uncertainty, and the post traumatic stress of environmental disasters.
Not everyone has warm and easy holiday gatherings ahead. Lots of us have challenging family relationships, stressful travel, and uncomfortable gatherings ahead. We'd like to help smooth your way with Flower Essences so you can be your best self even if you are having all your buttons pushed.
Animals love flower essences! Learn how to use flower essences to help your pet with issues like barking, separation anxiety, and general household stress.
We are all immersed in an overstimulating world with constant and distracting inputs. Flower Essences can help you calm, focus and ease your overworked mind and nervous system so you can think clearly and act from your center.
The season of Fall brings challenges and blessings, and in this episode we talk about flower essences we have found helpful for this time of change, loss, and going inward.
Grief is a natural process and not a disorder or illness to be treated. It’s an emotional, physical and spiritual reaction to change which involves losing something in life. Moving, changing jobs, ending a relationship, and especially the death of a loved one are common causes of grief.
Flower Essence Therapy seeks to meet a person where they are on their journey, and match the person with essences to support their unique situation. Join us as we explore flower essences for grief and loss.
In this episode, we discuss Flower Essences to help you become more grounded and to clear yourself of energetic debris. Once you are grounded and clear, you can reweave your etheric field with essences, and develop healthy boundaries.
Flower essences can help you adapt to change. Whether you are trying to change an old habit, or establish a new one, there are flower essences to help. We also talk about weathering the changes that happen to us, and how to stay grounded and well in our bodies and spirits.
We help you get started with flower essences, what they are, how to select and use them, how to use Five Flower Formula (aka Rescue Remedy) for emotional first aid, and more.

Welcome to the Flower Essence Podcast with Kathleen Aspenns and Rochana Felde. We are two Flower Essence Practitioners who love to share insights and knowledge about plants and their healing intelligence.
What Are Flower Essences? Flower essences are vibrational remedies used in Flower Essence Therapy. They are liquid plant intelligence that balance our emotions, heal our spirits, and guide us in personal and collective evolution. They can be safely used by everyone, from infants to elders, as well as with our animal companions.
Please note that flower essences are not the same as essential oils, but we’ll talk about many forms of plant medicine during the show.
