Life-changing FUN outdoor interactive workshops

Our goal is to introduce you to the REAL you through the profound sentient wisdom of nature. Our mission is to awaken the intelligent guidance of your own feelings and intuition

2.5 hr workshop ~ full-day workshop ~ practitioner training

What we teach in our enchanted garden workshops:

We want to introduce you the art of 'flower whispering'! The ancient native skill of communication and interaction with living plants!

In essence we teach CONNECTION ... connection to nature ... connection to yourself ... connection to something higher, more mysterious than the mundane world ... connection to your intuition ... connection to your soul and your higher wisdom ... And right now what we all need is more connection!

We've amassed more than 50 years experience in floriculture and psychology, 15 years in-depth experience exploring the science of plant sentience, and organic growing. And 30 years experience researching and writing about quantum physics and neuro-science. Every one of the individual plant frequencies we've captured was created through multiple dimensions of understanding and partnership with plant intelligence and human psycho-neuro harmonization

meet your plant whisperer and teacher Lori D'Ascenzo

Everyflower has its own unique wisdom to share. Sit quietly in a garden and listen

You'll be astounded by the depth of intelligence and sentience of plants! How could we have thought that the human species with only 200,000 years of evolution could be as intelligent as plants, which are 700 million years more evolved than us! In fact, plants and trees are the most evolved sentient beings on the planet!

They are supremely intelligent, highly adaptive, empathic, regenerative, complex living beings, with enhanced versions of our 7 senses, and extraordinary psychic abilities. They have developed complex sign-language and other non-verbal ways to communicate with every species on the planet, as well as highly evolved senses to understand other species and capitalize on their needs. Ancient shamans understood this language and intelligence. But we have now have forgotten

What stood out most for me was the individuality of each flower and the wisdom each and every flower contains... I see flowers differently now... The way I look at them has changed... It was a unique and wonderful opportunity to immerse myself into and connect personally with the process that has shifted my life. To be able to experience that with the wisdom, experience and support that Lori brings was an amazing experience that I continue to carry with me" Wendy P Salt Lake City Utah

Plants communicate openly in highly evolved ways

Plants 'silently' communicate to other species using a type of body language involving shape, texture, scent, colors, taste, ultraviolet light, and high frequency sound which subtly 'speaks' to our own senses and emotions

We're going to teach you to communicate with plants! We'll show you how to interpret plant 'body language'. We'll also explain many of the extraordinary abilities of plants. You'll learn how to tap into 'plant medicine' for mental and physical healing. More importantly, we are going to help you experience the intelligence and wise counsel of plants for yourself!

Yes...YOU are going communicate with plants! We'll teach you how to understand sensory non-verbal plant communication... hear their plant wisdom... receive their heart healing frequencies... enter a state of tranquility and peace. It is an unforgetable life-changing experience!

"Thank you so much for this memory! What a great workshop… I’m still digesting everything from that day. You’ve given me a lot to think about and integrate… I did want to make sure you knew how much I appreciated everything you gave and how much of an impact in that day you made for me. Thank you."

Our small, intimate outdoor guided immersives help you leave behind the noise and connect with your soul within the heart of nature. Each person's experience is unique and individual. You receive exactly what you need

"Your workshop was such an amazing experience for me. I loved learning more about what it is that you do and how you do it. I look at every flower differently now and wonder what lessons it has to teach us. But more so than any of that, your workshop helped me connect with myself again. It validated some of the feelings that I was having and helped to name some of the other feelings that I hadn't been able to identify yet. I've told all my friends what an incredible, life-changing experience it was for me and recommended that they check out your website" Chalcea H Wichita Kansas
