gifts from the garden
I invite you to my garden - the one full of roses, whimsical daisies, pink lavatera, hostas, painted fern, hydrangeas, dahlias - and the inner garden - a circle full of creativity in which to appreciate life's garden of gifts as reflected and gathered in flower essences. Flower essences help us to listen, opening us to hearing a whole new level of awareness accessed through conscious partnering with Nature. Like the distillation of words and memories into a poem, flower essences hone in on the underlying story. My flower essence repertoire is made up of Raven Essences. You may read more about them at www.ravenessences.com a bit about flower essences
Flower essences are liquid extracts made from the life force of a plant. They are vibrational substances that work with the electrical system, the interface mechanism operating between our soul and our body. You can take a flower essence directly in the mouth or in a glass of water. They can be taken any time as they are not affected by coffee, alcohol, or food and may be used in combination with vitamins, herbs and homeopathics. |
 welcome to my garden... |
Flower essences can help to balance our electrical systems so we can work with Nature's blueprints for growth and adaptation. The flower essences I am guided to suggest appear to be "just right" for the situation. Their definitions reveal underlying causes of imbalance and offer many gifts of attunement from Nature. "Healing becomes a rich journey of inner exploration and creative expansion, not just a quick cure", as Andrea Mathieson, founder of Raven Essences, has discovered. The essences co-ordinate with the cyclical nature of healing, growth and change, in an alchemical fashion.

the consultation process
I have consulted with Nature via flower essences for ten years and have found them to be trusted allies for my personal and professional journey. I offer Raven Essences as a complement to the creativity coaching I do as well as the creativity circles and other workshops I offer. Now, I also offer flower essence consultations as a co-creative process in which we can engage together. As a way to learn about the healing nature of vibrational flower essences and how they can act as witnesses to and guides for your personal journey, I invite clients to commit to four sessions in what I call, the Stage 1 Process stage 1
Stage 1 is a co-creative process consisting of 4 sessions of 1 half hour each, involving specific questions to help us enter the process. The order of the four session steps will be determined with you as will the time frame so it is in keeping with your own rhythm. The questions that will guide us are: Who is your archetypal ally? What is your current life theme? What is seeking to blossom in you? In a final wrap-up session we will determine, where do we go from here? At each visit, you will receive a flower essence made up in a dosage bottle from the Raven Essences DreamQuest Kit, the Life Theme Kit and from the rest of my Raven Essences repertoire. You will receive an overview of flower essences, descriptions of how they work, how to take an essence and ways to work creatively with flower essences. You may also receive a poem, a suggestion for embodying an essence particular to you, or another sort of creativity prompt for your "finding a still centre" practice. fee
$120 for 4 half hour sessions plus the cost of the essences ($10 for the first essence; $10 for the second and $12.25 for the third). stages 2, 3 & 4
Should it be in your best interests to continue, together we can make plans for the next stages. For example, Stage 2 could consist of support for an active, creative process or support for a life transition. Stage 3 could be focused on support for self-care and a deepening of the soul process. Stage 4 could be some questions I call "Gifts from the Garden" which reflect on your gifts and how you can release them to the world. location
Sessions take place at my home studio at 3350 Hickman Place in Nanaimo. Phone consultations are also possible. I can send your flower essences through the mail and the printed support material in the mail or via email. contact

Engaging in a series of Flower Essence Sessions with Mary Ann Moore was fun, interesting and healing. Working within a context of questions designed to stimulate personal growth, a number of flower essences were selected for me. The description of each essence resonated fully and deeply for me. Somehow, the essences Mary Ann selected seemed absolutely right for me at that time. This selection of essences was then combined to create a unique essence just for me. By the end of the series of sessions I had four personalized flower essences to work with at home. Detailed information about the essences and ways of working with them were always included.
During each session Mary Ann offered intuitive and insightful input. In taking the essences home and working with them, I found myself surprised by the openings, insight and energy each revealed. My being responded positively, leaving me eager to experience the revelations that would come with the upcoming session and essences. The Raven Flower Essences which Mary Ann works with seem to have a depth and power that is awe-some. There also seems to be a sweetness and gentleness to the essences that offered a feeling of comfort in their use. Mary Ann's ability to work with her deep intuition and knowing create additional depth to the experience. Thanks Mary Ann for offering me a chance to come to new ways of knowing and working with myself.
