Upcoming Workshops

LET'S BE FRIENDS | @NECTAR_AND_BLOOM

One day what worries you now won’t worry you at all anymore. It’s true! Can you think of examples from your life of times you recall being consumed by concern or worry about something that now you never even think about anymore?
.
The mind is as transient as the sky, and so are emotions. Thoughts and feelings all have a life span, and that means, although they’re all different, and though some are quite challenging, they all pass.
.
If something is weighing you down or preoccupying your mind or heart, zoom out. Take the broad, bird’s eye view, see from the sky that this too is just one thicket or canyon or ghost town or village you’re passing through on your adventure of life.
.
One day you will look back and laugh heartily remembering what it was that no longer worries you now in the slightest.

Flowers are a language we use to speak experiences of wonder. I am thrilled to write poems and tales of love and discovery in this medium, in this font, with this vivid alphabet.

It is possible. It is calling for you to try it, and it will keep calling until you take action, open up, allow yourself to transform, allow yourself to make manifest the thing that calls you, that makes you so curious or frustrated or impassioned or obsessed or light up.
.
There’s magic in the fiercest feelings you experience, guidance and teachers wrapped in that big pulse of energy who are for you, there to guide you, so trust. Trust, and listen to your intuition. Hear your intuition, and take the first step.
.
Take action with heart. Let yourself evolve into the success and authenticity you are meant to be and share. See that fear is most often a fear of your own success, and see it instead as excitement and encouragement that you are on your path and ready to uplevel. You are meant to shine.

//// Amber takes its river and brush // to dawn, a talk coppery // in its freshness, a perfume like walking, honeycomb // sky, the last name of the first orchard, a whim // the season tails, like a kite, an idea, this prism of opportunity... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers | The loveliest Kassidy on her wedding day, as photographed by @aperturebyamandaphotography at @serraplaza in the soft light of early October in Southern California with @silkandwillow ribbon on the wind 🧡

These lovely gals! Such a beautiful day at our recent Abundant Summer Bouquets Workshop with such kind and talented souls and the amazing @lucymunozphotography to capture all the magic.
.
Taking time to hone your creative calling in an atmosphere that inspires, guides, and supports you brings connection and confidence to your work.
.
I love seeing the ‘aha’ moments and inner discoveries that come with the outer practice and training in such an environment and with such a vivid, hopeful, and healing medium of art 💐.

Happy Saturday! We are planning workshops, classes, and other floral + wellness experiences for 2020 this coming week, and I am so darn excited about it. Teaching and getting to share technique, craft, and all things inspiration + empowerment makes me shine, and I love nothing more than to share those things with you as you advance in your floral artistry and personal thriving in your life and creative work.

Moody little cloud of wonder and what might be ... //// My demo bouquet from a recent 1:1 class for my sweet @clairehalchak — By the way, we are booking these private floristry classes (tailored to you!) here with me in the studio now into 2020! Please reach out if you’re curious. I’d love to hear from you and have you here for this immersive, transformative creative time together. #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #notesfromnectarandbloom #nectarandbloomclasses #nectarandbloomworkshops #floristryclass #floralworkshop #flowerclass #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers

A bouquet to me is an expression of the inner and outer beauty of the person who carries it. It’s a symbol of hope, promise, abundance, and luck. It is like a whole world translated as a meadow, gathered into the arms of wonder. A bouquet brings a shimmering ring of royalty as well as simple earthly innocence to its carrier. A bouquet is a crystal ball, and also a mirror. In it we see what we hope for and also what we are.

Gorgeous photograph by the kindest @lucymunozphotography from our recent Abundant Summer Bouquets Workshop this past August. More soon from this beautiful day and all of the amazing student designers who came together for it!

//// Stucco, stories, wind, light — culled terra // cotta the talk of mango and marigold, // magic and how it walks, a series // of cloud cast gold as day flourishes // its finish, the favorite hour // for such a silken cacophony ... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers #poetry

For Kassidy, such a joyous and beautiful bride! Thank you to my amazing team for all your help and support yesterday, you amazing, amazing souls @champagneprojects @paigemonell_ @carr.cavender 💛💛💛

//// Fall finds the folds // of summer, blends through like late gold // light over skirt pleats, honey’s silk and timelapsed // dance into the basin of a tea cup, bath // of buds of herbs and blooms dried to parchment, waiting // for just this steeping to purr out // the fragrant season’s new story .... ////

Happy October and cheers to LOVE my friends! #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #anniversarylove

//// Sunday in the scent of caramel and stone // fruit, Sunday in the tune // of strummed guitar, spun brass strung tight // like spice, Sunday flung in the fabric of river // rapids, how froth claps into rock, a fitting // frock for that parade, flavored in marmalade, the burnt // toast of a good idea where it meets // butter and dawn is falling for the day .... //// #nectarandbloom #poetflorist #nectarpoems #poemsbynectarandbloom #poetryofflowers #poetry
