Essence Circles

Essence Circles are group programs advancing the awareness and study of the healing power of Living Plant Archetypes. Deepening and Mentoring Programs focus on Flower Essences Therapy and the precise application of Flower Essences.

Essence Circles are offerings that spring from Ruth Toledo Altschuler‘s three decades of experience as a respected Educator, Mentor and highly qualified, Certified Flower Essence Practitioner.

Essence Circles are interactive group programs

Open Circles – Free Monthly events open to anyone who feels the calling.
Mentoring Circles – Structured Gatherings for Flower Essence Practitioners
Deepening Circles – Workshops and In Depth Study Programs

Open Circles – All Plant and Nature lovers are welcome to our FREE online interactive monthly gatherings. Join us to be inspired and enlivened!

Join us to experience the healing and teachings offered by the featured Plant Archetype, as we gather to attune to that field of healing energy.

Immersed in these co-created fields of sanity, we tend to our feelings and wellness. We conclude our gatherings offering healing out to the collective.

Open Circles are always FREE and open to anyone who feels the calling.

The experiences offered by Ruth Toledo Altschuler of online meetings for the deepening of our connection with flower essences are amazing!

At the end of each meeting, the multiple and strong feelings and sensations bring us to an intimate contact with the plants and nature, even though we are virtually connecting; and, in the same way, we feel this strong connection amongst the group members.

This is my testimonial, and that is what I see in the eyes and expression of each participant at the end of the sessions!

Mentoring Circles – Read this page and register to one of our Mentoring Circles for those who want to advance their work, and find within themselves the design and definition of their unique audience and offerings. You will receive support that is both practical and inspirational, to take your practice and services to the next level and out into the world.

Overlighting Purpose that unites our offerings:

  • Building Community amongst those who are called to be of service in ways that unite and heal, and who are inspired by the study of Plant Archetypes
  • Advancing our own personal fine tuned connection with the Intelligence of Plants and Flowers
  • Advancing and deepening our own personal healing and alignment with Nature and Spirit
  • Collectively and Individually, offering healing that ripples through space and time, raising the consciousness of unity

Deepening Circles – for those who study and or work with flower essences, these workshops meet people at different levels. Modules are created responding to your needs for study and discussion on specific themes.

Deepening circles include guided healing journeys for us to deepen our work on ourselves, as well as information supporting the work we offer to others. We always conclude our live gatherings by emanating healing out to the world.

As a participant of Ruth’s online courses, even 23 years after taking my first FES California Flower Essences course also led by Ruth, I still feel the same enchantment with the flowers and their essences and experience the same freshness and inspiration coming from Ruth as a teacher.

Through these courses, my use of the flower essences is renewed, as the perspective and focus that Ruth brings are of great depth, while the media rich content shared through the internet provides a form of contact with the flowers that is incredibly strong.

This is a valuable experience: the images, the sound, the quality of the content, the depth of the proposed experiences, the delicacy in listening, everything is absolutely well placed, with great zeal and care.

Experienced Mentor and Founding Elder

A Certified Flower Essence Practitioner by the Flower Essence Society since 1993, Ruth has studied extensively, often where the plants grow wild, with the original researchers of the most well established flower essence lines.

In her three decades of practice offering sequential Flower Essence Therapy, Ruth has had the privilege of bearing witness to the evolutionary journey of hundreds of individuals. Her ongoing practice of 29 years, combined with the scope of her in-depth study of flower essence plants with their original researchers has given her a unique perspective and experience that is unequaled in this field.

For 22 years Ruth Toledo Altschuler has dedicated her heart and soul to the development of Flower Essence Therapy as a respected and well known healing modality in Brazil. There, she is honored as one of the Founding Elders of this modality, now present in University advanced programs and Public Health offerings, as well as serving people of all ages throughout the country, from North to South.

Ruth has been a speaker at Flower Essences international conferences and events, as well as a pioneer in introducing Basic and Advanced Education on Flower Essence Therapy in Brazil. Over a period of 26 years, she has also been a translator of books and courses, converting to Portuguese some of the most inspired advanced courses given by leading edge teachers, both in Brazil as well as at the source locations of their research.

It is from this combination of knowledge and applied experience that Ruth now shares her legacy through her Essence Circles offerings.

Part of a Collective Mission

For a higher order of integration of all beings for an evolutionary dance of co-creation, weaving the Intelligence of Light and Life

Flower Essences support change, conveying Evolutionary Information

Flower Essences are preparations that capture information of the Life Force of plants at the peak of their flowering.
Through Flower Essence Therapy, we receive specific patterns of Nature's Intelligence information, captured in water. This evolutionary information impacts our multidimensional field, supporting us in changing attitudes, making emotional shifts and gaining renewed mental perspective.

Healing Synergy for Change
