The Orange Fringed Orchid grows in the forests of the Eastern United States. Its essence dissolves fear of conflict, anger and shame. It helps us maintain a sense of strength, calm and even humor, when dodging the bullet of someone’s anger. We can be fearless, despite fierce speech or rage directed at us. Old patterns of distress with authority figures unravel. Our boundaries are firm; anger no longer affects us and we can advocate for ourselves and others.
Chaparral, also known as Creosote Bush, is one of the most celebrated plants in the Sonoran desert. All desert natives are familiar with the scent; after a rain, the air fills with the scent of the Chaparral leaves. As a medicinal plant, its cleansing and detoxifying powers are unsurpassed. As a flower essence, it dissolves ancient feelings of loneliness, and the belief that in order to be a healer or lead a spiritual life, we must do it alone. It encourages us to access our own inner wisdom, stillness and knowingness, and find the deeper meaning behind everything.
Among the hundreds of exquisite Camellia flowers, the Speckled Camellia is a variety of Japanese Camellia with a huge multicolored blossom.

It deepens our breathing and brings in more vitality, energy and cheerfulness.

We’re more able to have more confidence in our ability to see and perceive with acuity.
There is a side of doing these Flowerlounge events that most would never guess. It can be super challenging. There’s something about making a deep wish to benefit humanity, that makes these trips … breathtaking. Tear-jerking. Heart-warming. Pacifying. At times it brings us to our knees with devotion. Other times it brings us to our knees because we’re incapacitated physically or emotionally.
