Zoom Event! Bach Flower Remedies: Workshop Series with Rio Hibler

Rio Hibler, Mondays, November 28, December 19, January 23 & February 27, 5:30 - 7pm (Pacific Time), $25 each class

​

The Bach Flower Remedies have been helping people achieve better emotional balance for over 80 years. With the right remedies to give us a healthier perspective on life, day-to-day difficulties become easier. Each 90 minute workshop covers five to seven Bach Flower Remedies that address commonly experienced problems within the topic.

The topics covered in this series will be:
● Nov. 28 - Grief and the Bach Flower Remedies
This workshop deals with integrating loss, death, and other difficult experiences from which we feel we can’t recover, and the Bach Flower Remedies that support this integration process. A number of Bach Flower Remedies can be instrumental in assisting the healing process of grief, loss, and trauma. By helping to digest and release difficult-to-forget experiences, these remedies encourage you to live more fully in the present, without the constant pain or reminders of the past.
● Dec. 19 - Ageing and the Bach Flower Remedies
As we mature, each advancing year brings new challenges. A number of the Bach Flower Remedies speak to the adjustments and demands of ageing, and help to produce a new self-acceptance that can make our later years our most satisfying and productive yet. This workshop will cover several remedies that address difficulties often experienced in our later years in life.
● Jan. 23 - Anxiety, Worry, and the Bach Flower Remedies
Worry, apprehension, fear and phobias have a negative impact on our well-being. When our thoughts are clear and calm, our emotions are restored to balance and we can maintain a healthy outlook. This workshop covers a number of Bach Flower Remedies that address feelings of anxiety, fear, or persistent worries, and that help us to maintain a harmonious mental and
emotional balance.
● Feb. 27 - Self-esteem, self-worth, confidence, and the Bach Flower Remedies
Everything that makes us happy depends upon our self-esteem; if we don’t feel we deserve something we want, even if we manage to achieve it, we find we can’t enjoy it. The Bach Flower Remedies offer a wonderful way to gently turn negative self-perceptions into positive ones. This workshop will cover some of the remedies used to help people achieve more confidence,
self-acceptance, and self-satisfaction.
