Patricia Kaminski – Flower Essence Practitioner
Patricia Kaminski is the Executive Director of the Flower Essence Society, an international collegium of flower essence practitioners who research and heal with the subtle essences of plants. She will discuss the origins of alchemy in Egypt given by Hermes Trismegistus through the Emerald Tablets. A key principle of these tablets is, “As Above So Below”, describing the resonant relationship between Macrocosm and Microcosm. This concept is then developed further by Paracelsus in his Doctrine of Signatures. Patricia will present examples of her original research using this principle of perception to understand specific aspects of anatomy and physiology and their resonance in botanical structures and elemental qualities within plants. She will show how this alchemical approach to plant wisdom results in a deeper understanding of healing qualities and outcomes in clinical cases provided by practitioners in the Flower Essence Society over the last four decades.
This was given as part of the Soil, Soul and Spirit Alchemical Revival Symposium 2024

The Heart of Communication: Tone, Trust, and Owning the Misunderstanding
This talk explores the heart of communication: learning to listen without “jamming” the other person, so real dialogue can happen. You will learn why tone carries more impact than content, and how trust rises or collapses based on the feeling underneath the words. Through practical tools like “owning the misunderstanding” (I-messages), avoiding blame-based “you-messages,” and using simple reset signals when conversations heat up, you will leave with a clear method for de-escalation and clarity. The evening includes a guided partner exercise that turns miscommunication into collaboration, even when ideas feel hard to name. Ideal for communities, couples, parents, and teams who want less conflict, more honesty, and a stronger container for shared life.
