Chalice Well Flower & Vibrational Essences
What are Essences?
Chalice Well Essences offer a holistic approach to wellbeing. They are vibrational remedies which hold the essential energies of flowers, plants, trees and place. We co-create them in the garden with our human consciousness and the Deva – the overlighting consciousness of the flower, tree or place – to imprint the well water that holds memory. We offer workshops and Chalice Well Practitioner training, accredited by the BFVEA, the Essence Practioners governing body.
Our Essences training weekends throughout the year take you on your own transformational journey, experiencing a deep connection to the ancient holy Well and to the flourishing garden. The beautiful and informative modules and practical essence making help you to develop the sacred within yourself as you connect with the sacredness of the earth.
Working with the Devic Realm
The Deva is the overlighting consciousness of plants,trees and water – the divine intelligence helping plants to flourish. We feel this liminal realm in the garden and it is abundant and thriving. We can deepen our heart-centred connection with these sacred waters and landscape by honouring the higher consciousness of the garden and the Well – the Deva.
“If we are willing to show friendliness and compassion towards those who control the Kingdoms of Nature, they in turn will help us to restore health and well-being to our minds and bodies and to harmonise the conditions which surround us”
Wellesley Tudor Pole
At Chalice Well Essences, working with the Devas is primary in all of our processes. From the initial co-creating, right through to bottling ready for sale, the helpers of the unseen realms at Chalice Well are always involved.
Pristine, structured high vibrational Chalice Well water is used as the carrier for energetic remedies because it holds memory. The recent work of Masaru Emoto and Veda Austin has highlighted the impact of human intention, music and written words on water, revealed through highly structured snow-flake like crystals that form when it is exposed to such influences, frozen and examined under a microscope and hydraglyphs identified by Veda Austin as a new way of communicating with water.
Co-creating Flower & Vibrational Essences
We sense it’s time to co-create an Essence when a plant or tree in glorious bloom calls to us. There is often a noticeable pull or heightened awareness that draws us to come closer, and connect and co-create.
We work closely with lunar and planetary cycles and seasonal celebrations in the wheel of the year.
We honour the sacred waters, Nature and the devic realm in order to bring the Essence into being.
Accredited Essence Practitioner Training
This BFVEA accredited Practitioner Training programme covers all aspects of working in conscious partnership with nature through vibrational and flower essences.
The Chalice Well Flower and Vibrational Essence Training invites you on a unique journey that blends immersive online modules with four experiential weekends in the beautiful gardens that surrround the sacred Well.
We have recently refreshed our training format by introducing online modules designed to suit your own flexible completion. The ancient holy Well and the plants within the garden are at the centre of our work, and we believe this new format fosters a deeper connection and communication with the Waters and the Nature Kingdoms. We are excited about this approach and hope it opens our course to a wider community.
Each workshop is designed as a stand alone experience. When combined with the online modules all four workshops create a comprehensive professional training programme in Flower and Vibrational Essences, accredited by the BFVEA. To become a BFVEA and Chalice Well Essences accredited Practitioner, all four modules plus your own portfolio need to be completed for assessment by your tutor. Please note that it is possible to complete each module in different years, if it is not possible for you to complete all four modules in the same year.
Imagine the simple joy of co-creating your own Essences or fulfilling your vision of becoming a Practitioner or Essence Producer within the unique environment of this ancient holy well. These workshops will support, inspire and guide you at every level.
