Flower essences offer gentle yet profound energetic support, helping to balance emotions, repattern stress responses, and deepen our connection to nature. Join Nora Toomey, Clinical Herbalist of True Bloom, for an exploration of these subtle botanical remedies. We will begin class with a short plant meditation, where we will be guided by the music of an actual plant! That’s right, through the incredible technology of “plant wave” we will connect to a potted plant and translate their energetic pulses into gorgeous, ambient music for a moment of stillness and connection. After our meditation, we will dive into the history and uses of flower essences, learn how to create them, and discover ways to incorporate their healing vibrations into daily life. Whether you're new to flower essences or looking to deepen your practice, this class will leave you feeling inspired to work with the wisdom of flowers.
Facilitator Bio:
Nora Toomey is a Writer and Clinical Herbalist. She has an MFA in poetry from California College of the Arts, and a Clinical Herbalist Certification from the Berkeley Herbal Center. In 2020, Nora co-founded the plant and sound wellness company, Flower & Frequency while developing her private practice and herbal product line, True Bloom.

Somatic Release Breathwork™ is a transformative embodiment practice that connects you to your body’s electrical network—the nervous system—helping release and alchemize stagnation and stuck emotions from repetitive thoughts, feelings, and old narratives. Using circular connected breathing and rhythmic music, it facilitates cathartic release—such as shaking, crying, or laughing—to clear blockages and restore balance to the nervous system.
Samara offers a unique approach tailored for women and Divine Feminine Embodiment. Her gentler method emphasizes allowing, receiving, and authentic expression, focusing on clearing and alchemizing stagnation in the chakra system and central channel, with special attention to the sacral, heart, and throat chakras. This nurturing practice invites you to deeply connect with your bodymind, unwind stored energy and emotions (like anger, wrath, grief, joy, and pleasure), and liberate the authentic Self. She will end the ceremony with hands-on energy work and Reiki, ensuring that each participant leaves feeling grounded and clear.
Many describe this experience as deeply transformative—akin to a plant medicine journey—for reclaiming true power and deepening into authenticity.
Samara is a guide, healer, and mentor for women on their healing and awakening journeys. She helps clients embody their mind-bodies and direct experience, heal and regulate the nervous system, and cultivate spiritual and intuitive gifts. Samara Healing + Awakening exists to catalyze spiritual awakenings, liberation from trauma + the confines of the small self, and the process of Divine Embodiment.
Her journey began with a sudden loss of vision in 2020, which sparked the beginning of a profound and ongoing spiritual awakening and led her to leave a misaligned life behind, confront deep trauma, and commit to a path of healing and devotion. Over the next five years, she studied and practiced over ten transformative modalities, transitioning from personal training to spiritual and trauma healing.
Samara works with modalities including somatic release breathwork, embodiment work, relational healing containers, expanded state practices, meditation, Reiki, energy work, hands-on healing, and somatics.
Her work creates a grounded, open, and clear field of support for deep transformation. Clients often find that months of working with Samara bring more healing than years of traditional therapy. Her practice is particularly supportive for spiritually oriented women healing from sexual trauma.
Deeply influenced by Tibetan Buddhism and the Goddesses of the Hindu pantheon, especially Durga and Kali Ma, Samara now lives a devotional life in Connecticut surrounded by soul family, working with clients across the East Coast and beyond.

Following the example of the new moon, we gather to take time to turn inward and set intentions for the next cycle ahead. This is a chance to build community with other women from all stages of life, spiritual traditions, and backgrounds, with open eyes, open ears, and loving hearts.
You can expect meditation, movement, crafting, intention setting, and an optional chance to share. At the closing of our ritual time together, we open into a community feast.
Inspired by The Wild Woman Project.
Bring your journal, mug/water, a food to share, and any other creature comforts you would like.
