Thank you for your interest in training as a practitioner of Spirit of Woman Australian Wild Flower Essences. This is a long and detailed description of the path through the training program, so you might want a cup of tea 
We recognise that people come to our products and programs from many different paths. Some are healers with many years of experience who are simply adding the essences as another line. Some have trained in other essence systems. Some have had some exposure to the essences and have a passionate desire to find out more.
As you can imagine, catering for all these levels of experiences is quite a task!
However, we believe our training progam meets many of the differing needs of people coming into the program, and not everyone will be following through to the advanced levels. Many of the people who do complete the course are also never intending to practice as a flower essence therapist for anyone other than themselves and their families, so please be aware that every person entering the program has their own intention for their live; you don’t have to want to be a practitioner to complete these levels.
Flower essences are powerful vibrational healing essences, and by the end of Level 6 you will have gained a new, or deeper, understanding of the BodyMind as a whole, functioning, physical and energetic entity, and how flower essences support and heal on every level.
We suggest everyone does all the workshops, because when we’ve admitted people to only the later workshops, they have had difficulty dealing with the volume of information. However, if you feel you would like to begin your training with us at a later workshop, please contact us and we will call you to discuss it.
Each training is not simply a training about the essences. We have built them as a personal growth journey, so that even if you have studied essences before, you will be learning more than just the properties of our essences.We believe that what you will learn in these workshops will add a new depth to your practice.
The workshop cycle happens over about five months. The modular nature of the workshops means you can do each level when it suits you, although ideally you will follow them through in sequence as each workshop builds on the understandings gained in the previous ones. But read on, and see how this all resonates with you.
Level One – Personal Development
In Level One we explore our essence blends Body Love, Crisis Calm, Vital Energy, and Woman Worth. Yes, we explore in detail each essence, and the synergy in each blend. We also however, explore some principles of the chakra system, the background of flower essence therapy, healthy body image, maintaining your cool in a crisis, looking after your own energy, and boosting your self esteem. So it’s not only about the essences, it’s also a journey of self-discovery. We cover in detail 13 individual essences and the four blends mentioned above, and explore the concepts around the ancient symbol and wisdom of The Flower of Life, which new science is only beginning to understand.
Level Two – Relationships
In this level, we explore the remaining 13 individual essences, plus eight blends designed to support the most important aspects of relationship in your life. Firstly, Daddy’s Girl, because the relationship with your father impacts both the relationships you have with other men, and how you are out in the world. No matter how healthy of fractured that relationship, it’s a vital one to balance.
As of course is your relationship with your mother, for which we blended Mother Love. This relationship impacts on your self-worth.
Speak Easy is next, a beautiful blend that supports you being able to recognise, articulate, and speak our needs. It also supports people who are stressed around public speaking, by the way.
Next, relationships with others in Together, which begins exploring biological gender differences and how they can influence relationships.
Intimate Zone follows, exploring some of the issues that show up in relationships around physical intimacy, often a source of major conflict in relationships.
But of course, not every relationship will or even should survive, and Breakups happen. This blend support the process, and we move through aspects of the breakup that will help you gain new understanding of why it’s important to heal the breakups in your past, and emerge strongly through current ones.
Next we move to Clear Skin, an odd name for a relationship essence. However, the relationship with yourself shows up in your skin, your body’s largest organ.
And finally, Wise Woman helps you access the inner strength of the mature adult woman.
Level 3 – Parenting
One thing we all have in common is that we were parented by parents who didn’t meet our needs; just as our parents were. As one wise teacher says, which parenting university did your parents go to? All our parents were left to do their best, and we all do the best we can with the results! For many thousands of couples in the 21st century though, infertility is a huge challenge, and that’s where we begin our exploration of this hugely powerful set of life experiences.
We begin this workshop where many parents do, in the Pre-Conception phase. We look at the energetics of males and females, the impacts of chemical contraception and how the essences support the building of fertility energies.
Next is the Conception phase, where we explore further how hormones drive males and females (more of those biological gender differences), natural and assisted fertility methods, and of course, the essences that can help to underpin the conception energies.
Pregnancy Support follows, taking a brief tour through the brain and body changes of the mother through the months of healthy pregnancy, and yes, the essences that support her emotionally and energetically.
Birth follows pregnancy, and hopefully it will be a Blessed Birth. Here we look at the biological triggers for mother, father, and baby through the birthing process, including the heart-brain connection and bonding. Again, we connect each process to the essences in this lovely blend, and examine why they were selected.
Not all births are natural of course, and when a Ceasarean happens there is a different recovery process, and some energetic triggers are missed. Here we look at those triggers and how we can consciously bring them on, and the essences which assist.
The Baby Years follow, with their major transitions and milestones and challenges, for mother, father, and baby. We take a tour of the crucial birth – age two years here, and supporting essences.
Childhood rolls on inevitably, more transitions for all, and many phases for all to move through. We look at these developmental phases, the physical, brain, and energetic changes, and the development of emotional intelligence.
And finally, the chicks fly the nest leaving the parents in an Empty Nest. Their relationship undergoes more transitions, menopause is often in the wings (or on centre stage), and a new life emerges.
So that’s Level 3, an intense, heart-opening day!
Level 4 – Spiritual Growth
This is where the training starts to get really exciting! We enter the world of quantum physics, of new understanding of ancient wisdom, and evolving consciousness.
Creative Muse helps us reprogram our old beliefs, align our energetic matrix to the changing energies around us, and express our life in the ways that most suit our soul’s purpose.
While exploring Gift of Time, we explore Einstein’s world-changing theories of space and time, the inter-changeability of energy and matter, and the theories of time. The essences in this blend help us develop a new relationship with time, and with time passing.
Mythology left us clues about this time on the planet and in human development, about the new possibilities for humanity, and Quiet Mind helps us access those possibilities through meditation.
Finally, we explore the energies of Abun-Dance, and learn to recognise the limitations of our beliefs and dance with the energies. Each student also prepares a Wish Mandala, a whole-mind way of setting your direction for the next 12 months.
On to…
Level 5 – The BodyMind Connection
This is an exciting workshop. We end with a practical experience of dowsing, using a pendulum to access the field of consciousness, as a tool to assist with essence selection. But we begin by exploring the ancient energetic meridian system (validated towards the end of the last century by modern science) and the health and emotional connections of each major body meridian. For example, an imbalance in the Lung meridian can cause worry and grief, swellings, lethargy, and so on. Liver meridian energy imbalance can lead to anger, headaches, high blood pressure, and potentially strokes. We explore every major meridian for these understandings.
It’s here that the knowledge from the previous workshops really begins to gel, where the concepts really start to build into an overall picture of the BodyMind. We only briefly mention the essences that support the issues we are exploring, because by now, you would be familiar with the major properties of each essence.
That’s a brief summary of a very full day! On to…
Level 6 – The BodyMind Connection Advanced
Though previous workshops have briefly explored the Chakra system, here we go in depth into not just the seven most well-known Chakras, but the five extra Chakras that have come through in recent times.
It’s powerful, energising stuff (no pun intended).
And in the second half of the workshop we bring it all together: the essences, the chakras, the energetic understandings, the tools for accessing the field – into an afternoon of case studies with all the complex aspects of the BodyMind. Much discussion and examination and ah-hah moments are guaranteed!
Becoming a Practitioner
After the workshop series we will be asking you to complete and submit a number of case studies, using the principles we’ve outlined in workshop 6. You can do these in your own time, and we will assist you however we can. Once these are completely, you will be entitled to call yourself a practitioner of Spirit of Woman Australian Wild Flower Essences.
Again, as I said before, if you have a background that you think will support you in skipping any of the steps laid out above, please contact us to discuss it.
How we support our practitioners
As I write this, we are just at the end of our first round of training practitioners, so we are still developing our practitioner support program, We have a very clear intention around how we expect this will unfold.
Firstly, practitioners will be listed on our website, with a photo, bio, and contact information.
Secondly, we are developing a forum where practitioners can support one another, and where we will also answer questions when possible. We do know that the people who have trained with us so far have a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience that together, is unsurpassed; and they understand that one of our guiding priciples is that “in a rising tide, every boat floats” – meaning we’re not about beating or dominating anyone, only about everyone achieving what they want to achieve within the Spirit of Woman very flexible framework.
Thirdly, we will have regular teleconferences that practitioners can access for a really tiny fee, which explores a huge range of topics, and even regular question and answer sessions.
So that’s it. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, or simply click here to see what others have had to say about the workshops, or click here to book in now.
See you soon
