Archetypal Flower Essence Formula Design:
Medicine Making with Living Systems
Magic is essentially the higher understanding of nature.
Magic, in its truest sense, is a higher understanding of nature — the awareness that every element of creation is part of an intelligent, interconnected whole.
When we craft flower essence formulas, we are not simply mixing remedies we love; we are cultivating a living relationship between plants, people, and purpose. Each essence plays a distinct role in guiding transformation, and when blended with intention, they form a synergistic field of healing greater than the sum of their parts.
Created for experienced flower essence practitioners, this course deepens your clinical artistry and spiritual discernment. We explore the principles of sacred geometry as a map for designing formulas that honor both structure and spirit. We’ll examine how individual flowers function within a blend as Mamas, Allies, Elders, and the Heart. These archetypal roles support coherence and movement within the healing process.
Through collaborative case studies and formula analysis, you’ll learn to create essence blends that are not only clinically effective but also energetically coherent. By treating formula design as a sacred ceremony, you create remedies that honor the relationships among the flowers themselves, and the larger pattern of healing they’re here to express.
This Course is for:
Archetypal Flower Essence Formula Design is designed for participants who already have a foundational relationship with flower essences and feel called to deepen their practice through relational, archetypal, and intuitive design. We welcome:
Flower essence practitioners seeking to move beyond single-essence prescribing into synergistic, formula-based work
Intermediate to advanced students of flower essence therapy who want greater confidence and clarity in creating formulas
Healers, therapists, and holistic practitioners who integrate flower essences into clinical, spiritual, or relational settings
Practitioners-in-training within the Spirit Seed Flower Essence Practitioner Certification program and other institutions
Those working with subtle energy, archetypes, and symbolic systems who are ready to translate intuitive insight into structured, ethical formulation
Practitioners should already be familiar with basic flower essence principles, including essence selection, energetic signatures, and foundational therapeutic applications. This course is not introductory; it is a refinement and expansion of practice.
You’ll fit right in if you:
Sense that flower essences communicate in relationships, patterns, and roles
Want to understand why certain essences work together—and how to design formulas with intention rather than trial-and-error
Are drawn to sacred geometry, archetypal frameworks, and symbolic intelligence as organizing principles
Wish to design formulas that are not only effective, but coherent, elegant, and alive
Value community-based learning, dialogue, and shared inquiry
What you’ll explore:
Geometry as living language: discover the sacred architecture that animates formula design
Relational roles: how Mamas, Allies, Elders, and Heart essences move soul patterns
Synergy over simplicity: craft formulas that do more than blend—they resonate
Case study alchemy: real-world formulations that become mirrors of inner terrain
Collaborative creation: shared practice that deepens intuition, presence, and relational awareness
Goals of the course:
Understand how each flower serves a role in the soul’s unfolding
Explore the subtle geometry that brings essences into living harmony
Practice collaborative formula design with peers in community
Sense how flowers relate to one another and to the human psyche

She is a fierce advocate for reclaiming ancestral knowledge systems as tools for personal evolution and collective liberation.
Lindsay’s current doctoral research explores the use Flower Essence Therapy as a decolonial approach to psychotherapy. One of her greatest joys is supervising advanced students in the Spirit Seed clinical residency, as emerging practitioners bring nature-based medicine to diverse communities around the world.
