The Wisdom of Flowers Through Seasons

With Brid Kennedy

2 Day Residential Course: Saturday 15th November & Sunday 16th November 2025

Since ancient times, people across all cultures have had a huge attraction to flowers, using them as a medium to express sentiments of goodwill, love, beauty and sadness, with each flower having different meanings individually and globally.  In her book, Spirituality of Flowers: What Flowers Do For Us, Brid explores the Divine-human transformation that happens when we appreciate flowers. Taking precious moments to consider and contemplate them in depth, enriches our souls, as it reminds us of who we are as humans and to care for Mother Earth. The well-being of our body is not possible without the well-being of our planet. We must protect our planet to protect ourselves, and we must protect the well-being of our body to protect our planet.

ABOUT THE COURSE

  • Explore the miracle of growth from seeds to bloom, death and rebirth
  • Reflect on what is within the joy, love and beauty of flowers
