Classes

At Golden Poppy, education is one of our primary principles. We seek to educate and empower others with the knowledge they need to take care of their own healthy, naturally.

We do this in large part by offering the donation-based classes so people of all backgrounds can have access to the information that we feel is your right to know. Our teachers are donating their time when these classes happen, they are not paid through the store, and 100% of your donations go to them for their time.
 
For all of our classes you must sign-up and pre-pay ahead of time so we can be sure to have enough materials for each participant.
 
Thank you again for your interest in herbs and our classes and we hope to see you soon!

Below you will find our upcoming community class list. It is also available on Facebook and via our newsletter.

Introduction to Flower & Gem Essences

Sunday May 6th, 2pm

Flower essences are energetic imprints of the life force of plants which interact with the subtle bodies of the human being and evoke specific qualities within us. 

They work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while the flower and gem essences work through the medium of water.

Because they are similar to homeopathy, they carry no risk of interactions or side effects, which makes them especially safe to use on people with special considerations, such as children, the elderly, and pets.

Come learn more about how to use these vibrational remedies in your life.

You’ll leave with a better understanding of how they work, why you may want to use them, and you’ll get to craft a personalized remedy to take home for yourself.
