Spring is almost here and what better way than to celebrate the change in season with a floral tribute to the flowers and nature. Something for you, by you.

You know the speil, when we get extra busy we double down - "I'll just do this, then this, then this"... and by the time you sit down to do what you actually love, you're too tired. I'll do it tomorrow you say. Or the next day. But you never do.

This is why this workshop was created, to break these habits of delaying the hearts desire. Creating a space you can connect with yourself and learn and feel the healing magic of flowers. A place you can belong while you explore your connection with nature.

3 hours. WA Native flowers, your hands, no producing required. Just space to come back to yourself and full creative expression.

Learn the amazing healing energy of flowers and also how you can apply them to your every day.

Fun Fact: If you've been wondering where I've been - I've been here - Kalamunda Hydrotherapy pool, my most favourite place right now, second only to my garden.

I finally understand why astronauts struggle when they return to Earth. Every time I step out of the hydrotherapy pool, I get a tiny glimpse of it.

For an hour, my body feels almost weightless. My knee moves more freely. I can bend it further. Walking feels easier. Everything is lighter. Then I climb out of the pool... and gravity comes crashing back in.

This hour ( 4 days a week) in the water has become one of my favourite parts of this healing journey. Second only to wandering around my garden watching my flowers grow.

The water lets me move and twist in ways I can't on land. Better circulation, less stiffness, and a reminder of what this knee is capable of.

It's a slow and steady game.

I've spent weeks wondering:

🌸 Will this stiffness ever end?
🌸 Am I doing enough... or too much?

The answer wasn't in pushing harder. It was in trusting myself and in my 100% focused commitment.

🌸 To trust that healing is happening, even on the slow days.
🌸 To trust that rest is part of the process.

Eight weeks ago I had a knee replacement. Hydrotherapy has been a game changer Today I've full knee extension, 122° of bend, a normal walking gait, and every week, every day movement improves and the discomfort lessons.

If you know of knee issues or the recovery from Knee replacement surgery - rehab is intense, a short marathon for long term gain - making the most before scar tissue sets in - the early days are the best to gain the best results. It's aaaa lot.

I'll put all what I've learned into a neat little package to share.

More on this soon.

Recently I have been obsessed with Bee Hive Videos - it has been a crazy journey of research and learning. Bees The greatest pollinators

Bees are part of the biodiversity on which we all depend for our survival. Flowers rely so deeply on bees to pollinate and produce.

There is one queen bee in one hive and drone bees, and worker bees.
Fun Fact: The Queen Bee lays up to 2,000 eggs a day and produces vital pheromones that regulate colony behaviour, control worker development, and maintain social harmony within the hive. The pheromones from a queen bee can be sensed from kilometres away so the worker bees know and navigate back to the hive.

Bees are under threat at the moment with the appearance of the Varroa Mites which feed of the bees and ultimately killing them. This is a travesty! Imagine a world with no bees.

No bees, no flowers.

To attract and support bees you can plant natives of Banksias, Grevilleas, and Bottlebrushes (Callistemon). These provide abundant, easy-to-access food sources that sustain honeybees and essential native pollinators.

Marigolds, sunflowers, lavender, even herbs such as basil, mint and thyme. Daisies, cosmos, and cornflowers are also awesome to support our bee life.

Mid winter is a great time to begin planning for Spring. The simplest way to help the bees is to scatter a few more flower seeds and let the garden become a place of bee nourishment and fertile flowery abundance.

For the love of flowers! This is the coolest.

This month's Full Moon peaks 7.38 am tomorrow morning - in fact, there’s quite a bit of action happening in the skies - with Mercury Retrograde occurring around the same time.

It marks a big point for the coming days. You may have noticed many unclaimed emotions or past actions surfacing in the subliminal. Synchronicities if you’re open.

Having time to let go and heal through this knee surgery has been strong at times, and yet incredibly liberating.

The patterns of the past arise to be seen and healed. It can be confronting, but comes with release and a peace that comes when we own it. Sometimes it takes a coupla of gos - when focused you get there in the end.

Now is not the time to give up.

The flower essence of Leafless orchid soothes anxiety whilst also awakening and heightening discernment - it is seriously one of those flowers that you need in your personal self-care toolkit. Amazing flower healer and perfect for this time.

This moon will magnify what no longer belongs and the dynamics up for renewal. It is a major slowdown. You see more when life is in slo-mo.

Enjoy the connections this moon and phase can bring.

Amano Flower Essence - our signature blend.

$25 for 30 ml
18.95 for 15ml

This was one of those essences that was naturally created in a personal time of need and from there it has supported many who find it hard to settle the mind.

It can be exhausting when you overthink and underestimate ourselves - doubling down in all scenarios or focusing on what if's, even creating things that may never come to pass.

This is when a bottle of Amano is the perfect natural remedy to have in the tool kit. You can lean on as a go to when patterns arise, even sifting through to get to the bottom of what's creating the inner turmoil. Nipped in the bud so you can get on with things.

"I’ve been using Amano for over 6 months now and have found it a vital part of my self-care regime. It helps quieten my mind in times of overthinking and has helped me find more peace within myself. It’s a wonderful product - so easy to implement into your life and feel instant results. I love it so much I have gifted it to several friends whom I think could benefit from using flower essences!" 🌸 Shannon

Flower Essences use the natural healing vibration and essence of flowers for healing and emflowerment - if you are new to essences be sure to check out our website www.silverdale.com.au.

If you wish to grab a bottle for yourself or someone you know who would need this you can grab it here 👉 https://www.silverdale.com.au/shop/

We have a Full Moon next week. Mercury Retrogrades the same day .. and Solstice was yesturday. it's feeling like a strong cosmic time.

A natural slowing down to connect to and to also sift through the junk. Most importantly a time to take responsibility for things we know we need to. A time when discernment is most needed.

This is also a very creative and explorative time. Write down those inspirations that fllter down from no where.

Full moons are often linked to heightened emotions, restlessness, and a crap night's sleep. Many can feel sensitive, energised, or "wired" around this time.

In children especially, more excitable behaviour, vivid dreams, or disrupted sleep during a full moon.

I wrote an article some time ago, using flower essences to support and navigate the lunar cycles.
