Rose: Sacred Scent from the Empress of Flowers
A quintessential remedy for women, Rose has long been cherished for her ability to soften, soothe, and open the heart. Revered as the Empress of Flowers, she offers healing in all her botanical forms—blossom, herb, food, essential oil, and flower essence—bringing clarity, emotional resilience, and a deep sense of well-being. In these challenging times, Rose invites us to cultivate stability, authenticity, and heart-centered living.

In this class, we’ll explore the rich history and timeless grace of Rose, and how her presence can support our journey toward integration of body, mind, and spirit. While we’ll touch on uses of the whole plant and share a few delightful recipes, our focus will be on Rose essential oil. You'll learn practical applications for the physical body, tips for blending on a budget, and rituals—both ancient and modern—that harness Rose’s mystical healing power.

Come deepen your connection to this sacred flower and awaken true heart wisdom.
