The Essence & the Pendulum with Arika Schroeder

The Essence & the Pendulum

with Arika Schroeder

New Dates TBD

6:15 - 7:45pm

Cost: $15 - 20 Sliding Scale

 

Curious about flower essences?

Interested in learning what pendulums are and how to use them?

In this class, we will talk about intuition and subtle energies as well as explore our innate intuitive capabilities.  We will work with our pendulums to create a flower essence formula specifically designed to bring alignment to our unique energy signatures.

Flower essences work on an etheric level - they are an energetic imprint of the healing soul within each individual plant.  Thus each plant's essence or imprint works to attune one's unique energy system with the healing archetype of the essence.
