About
A flower essence is the subtle energetic imprint of a blossom and its accumulated dew, captured in spring water through the light of the sun, then preserved and diluted for personal use. While modern flower essence therapy has been documented since the early 20th century, practices involving flowers, water, and sunlight span centuries across diverse cultures.
Flowers are a vivid reminder of joy, strangeness, and creativity in nature’s vital expression, which is not separate from our own bodies and minds. This approach views flower essences as compassionate companions for attuning to the subtle dimensions of human experience through the light of nature. Rather than offering a “fix” or suppression of symptoms, they support moving through personal challenge with greater capacity, helping to transform old conditioning through the nuances of inner life.
Humans and plants share a deep evolutionary entwinement. In my experience, flower essences create a more spacious capacity for inner seeing and embodied awareness. They communicate a sense of safety to the body’s habitual processing systems. Through sympathetic resonance and coherence, they support the conditions that allow the body’s innate intelligence to release subtle blocks and realign with its essential nature.
This is an artful process of transforming experience at its deeper, more subtle root in order to cultivate a wider capacity for relating and responding. Understanding emotions and thoughts not as isolated incidents of a mechanistic body-mind, but as forms in nature, much like a flower, can generate a deeper trust in the inherent wisdom of the body and of being, where mystery and present-moment awareness can be embraced as a more capacious intelligence within mind.
Verditer
Verditer is the heart work of Erin Hunt, an artist living on Fogo Island. This project approaches Fogo Island as a living laboratory for deep listening, emerging out of an inquiry into the correspondences between somatic, emotional and ecological well-being. Part of Erin’s practice involves working one-on-one with individuals to identify flowers that may offer subtle support.
This work developed intuitively over the years through close attention to local flowers and has since deepened through formal training and certification, clinical study, and six years of individual client work. Erin’s practice draws on five element theory and explores the harmonious relationship between one’s internal energy and the rhythms of nature.
