Five Week Workshop on Tuesdays, 7:00-8:30 pm Eastern, September 15 – October 13, 2026. Details Below

As summer fades into autumn, the flowers are ripening and pouring everything they are into bringing forth the seeds of the generations to come, trusting life even as the light begins to recede.

What do they have to teach us about living through times of uncertainty?

In this live, online, experiential workshop, you’ll cultivate a deep relationship with flowers and discover a more connected life. Together we’ll explore the extraordinary wisdom of autumn flowers through science, story, guided practices, and direct experience. Rather than studying flowers as beautiful objects, we’ll begin meeting them as ancient living beings whose lineage stretches back more than 150 million years—and whose wisdom is profoundly relevant for the world we inhabit today.

In this cultural time saturated with noise and fear, returning to the flowers offers something radically grounding. They do not rush. They do not dominate. They rise, blossom, and return again and again to the Earth. Their intelligence is relational; their strength communal. And they want to share it with us.

As we learn to listen, the flowers become more than symbols. They become elders,  teachers, and companions, offering guidance about resilience, collaboration, abundance, and trusting the great cycles of birth, death, and renewal.

The flowers are asking us to remember—and to ripen with them.

Blending science, imagination, and reverence, we’ll explore how flowers speak to us and how we can begin cultivating a genuine relationship with them. You will learn practical ways to awaken your intuitive senses while also exploring emerging research on plant intelligence, collaboration, and the remarkable relationships that sustain the living world.

Together we will discover that abundance is not about accumulation. It is about fullness, about receiving and participating in life’s ongoing generosity. As we deepen our relationship with flowers, many people discover an unexpected sense of companionship, belonging and guidance that continues long after the workshop ends.

In this course, you will:

• Discover our deep evolutionary relationship with flowers and why they are among our oldest teachers.
• Learn how to receive guidance from the flowers and trust the intuitive pathways through which they communicate.
• Explore recent science on plant intelligence, collaboration, and interspecies communication in an intriguing and digestible way.
• Reexamine the story of human exceptionalism and open to a wider understanding of intelligence in the living world.
• Practice imagination and intuition as legitimate relational tools for engaging the more-than-human world.
• Be gently guided through a step-by-step process for connecting with a flower ally and receiving guidance and support for your daily life.

• Gain a greater understanding of why reverence for our natural world is key to our future.
• And much more…

The flowers are speaking, asking us to remember and resurrect our entwined evolutionary love story.

“Flower lovers unite! I always sensed the flowers were a powerful presence in our human experience, and this workshop wove together both science and mystic tradition in a way that helped to contextualize and anchor what my intuition already sensed — deepening my love for the flowers over and over again, week after week. It was a rich and vibrant journey where we explored, in collective space, the aliveness of the flowers. Mary is a wise, kind, and generous guide who truly speaks for the flowers. I feel blessed to have gotten to participate in this beautiful experience.“ – Terry

Session One: Ripening – What autumn flowers teach us about abundance, generosity, and preparing for the future. With their guidance, we will explore our long evolutionary story with flowers and how they have dreamt us into being over the eons.

Session Two: Listening in the Season of Seeds – How the Flowers Communicate and How We Begin Hearing Them. We will explore the science of plant intelligence – how plants communicate and connect with us and the world around them.

Session Three: Trusting the Harvest – Desire, Inner Knowing and Receiving Guidance. Exploring and practicing how our heart’s desires, intuition and imagination are key tools for connecting with the flowers and all the non-human world.

Session Four: Crossing the Threshold – Beginning Your Flower Conversation. Learn the step-by-step process to meet and receive guidance from your chosen flower.

Session Five: Coming Home – Receiving Your Flower Elder’s Wisdom: Integrating your practice and receiving your flower’s wisdom. We bring everything we have learned together—with a guided meditation, the full uninterrupted process and collective group sharing.

“While I have worked with essential oils in a similar vein to Mary’s path, becoming mindful of the actual flower was a revelation. Mary draws heart-centered, open people into her sphere and that makes the class even more potent. I loved the blend of history, science, and intuition.” –Lori

“This class opened my eyes to the evolutionary history of flowers and their capacity to communicate clearly with us if we listen. Mary is a knowledgeable and sensitive teacher, encouraging and supportive, and provided many opportunities for class interaction. I recommend this class highly. – Carolyn

Because this workshop is highly experiential, participation is limited to just 20 people to allow for depth, intimacy and shared exploration. All sessions are recorded. We gather on Zoom, and a private community space will be available for sharing reflections and images of your flower encounters. Workshop fees are non-refundable.
