What do you want to radiate into the world?

Next month, we’re hosting a 2.5-day Chenrezig meditation retreat at the SAN Center in Phoenix, led by Geshe Phuntsho & the Tibetan Buddhist monks of Gaden Shartse Monastery.

Usually, you would need to travel to India to stumble into this kind of opportunity; this offering in the US is extremely rare.

And you are invited.

One of the greatest pieces of advice I’ve ever received in regards to choosing a teacher, mentor or even friends – is to ask yourself this question:

Do I want to be more like them?

Are the qualities that they radiate into the world something that I also want to emit?

So, it’s important that you know who’s leading this retreat ~

During our precious time with Geshe Phuntsho last year, someone asked:

How do you transform pain & sorrow into something beneficial?

Head over to our website to hear Geshe’s voice & listen to his answer. You'll also learn how to join us on this retreat!

The not-so-galmourous side of flower hunting ...

~ Braving brain-eating amoebas in wild hot springs (big shoutout to Bob for giving us confidence that we weren’t going to die)

~ Allergies: sneezing attacks, runny noes & itchy eyes

~ Getting bit by deerflies when you’re trying to be still & get footage of a flower

~ Facing fears: like fear of heights & steep drop-offs

You get it all with nature, don’t you?

The stunning beauty ... and the reality of the wild unkown.

But it’s what we love & what we’re commited to braving if it means that’s how & where we will find these healing orchids to share with the world.

A little more about Casey –

Casey served 4.5 years in the Marine Corps, and spent two deployments in Afghanistan. In that time, he was exposed to environmental toxins that made him very ill.

He spent years chasing down his symptoms trying to find answers, and in 2022, he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, glioblastoma.

He was given 3 months to live.

Since then, he’s turned his house into a brain treatment facility full of alternative modalities, to heal himself like a warrior.

With unrelenting willpower, and sheer devotion to live, he’s still here.

Join us Thursday, March 12th on Zoom for a LIVE Green Tara Puja, dedicated to Casey, to anyone else you know navigating life with serious health challenges, and to infuse your deepest wishes with strength.

Time: 10pm PST/AZ | 11pm MST | 12pm CST | 1pm ET

Whether or not you can attend, if you donate to this cause, it will benefit you. This ceremony will not be recorded.

Let’s surround him, and all others fighting like him, with support.

And let’s appreciate the opportunity we have to make the very most of every moment and use this incredible opportunity to bring our highest dreams to fruition.

We collected the Coral Tree flower essence from the giant tree outside of a popular restaurant that was far ahead of its time, The Rose Venice, which opened in 1980 and started many modern trends, including the ‘community table’ concept.

An owner of the Rose & dear friend, Kamal, gave us his permission & blessing to collect this flower essence, shortly after The Rose's permanent closing in 2025.

The Coral Tree Flower softens burdens from the shoulders & dissolves disturbances in the gut.

When we feel disregarded or misunderstood, it helps us feel heard, understood & acknowledged. When we feel resistant to being supported, it opens us up to more love & care.

As we allow more love, our speech magnetism grows & our ideas become sticky and gain traction.

We gain a deeper understanding of what makes us ‘iconic’.

Coral Tree will have us asking ourselves these questions:

Where do I resist love & support?

Where am I carrying stress in my body, and what would it look like to lighten the load?

What if “being iconic” isn’t about being louder or more impressive, but about being more connected & supported?

Ready to reveal what makes you iconic? Join the FLOWEREVOLUTION.

In this heartfelt video, Katie Hess sits down with long-time dear friend, Kamal Kapur, part owner of the Rose Venice, to reflect on the restaurant as a commu...

The legendary herbalist Stephen Harrod Buhner’s research shows ~ in medicine making, if you share your intention with the plants & environment, the environment actually responds through a shift in chemical constituents.

Taking this moment before searching for flower remedies not only ensures that we are welcome in the space, but also informs the land of our intention, to amplify the benefit of anything we might find, with the support of the Earth itself.

Get a closer look at the flower essence collection process on FLOWER HUNTERS ~ the entire first season is now streaming on YouTube!

When was the last time that you …

Started grooving in the kitchen while making dinner?

Turned some music on in your bedroom while getting dressed, and started doing a little happy dance? Or danced around other people?

Reached your arms up & (literally) opened your heart to the sky?

Felt invigorated by the movement of your body?

The Scentbottle Orchid liberates our bodies and makes us want to dance!

This orchid helps us burn through stagnation and find fearless freedom in creative languages like dance, song or other expressive & poetic physical movements.

We feel more wild, fearless, graceful and beautiful.

We care less about what others think and just want to enjoy ourselves in the moment, knowing that this is the way to improve over time.

We feel more nourished, loose & unabashed yet protected. We suddenly feel sure and confident of ourselves, with a renewed faith in life.

Bring in more freedom with the Wild Earth Orchid Elixir.
