Fear is an illusion. On the other side of fear is fearlessness, courage, strength, confidence, settledness, groundedness, solidness, imperviousness. As we unravel our fears, things that have ownership or control over us, no longer do. And we become more & more free. Here's to wild freedom, boldness & fearless courageousness!

One of the ways we love to seal up special moments is with a flower offering. 

Resembling a tower of dragon heads, or fighting fish with long tails, this fierce little wildflower cuts through timidity, shyness and holding back. If words have a tendency to get stuck in our throats or bellies, Wild Snapdragon encourages us to be direct, blunt and totally ourselves. We can be joyfully confident and utterly shameless in our bodies and our expression. We can effortlessly voice what we want and what we don’t want.

So thrilled to share with you a project that I’ve been working on for over a year! It’s insanely beautiful … And one of those times in my life – where I’ve jumped into a new era that is totally unexpected and yet – Feels totally spot on! And miraculous. And true. So here it is – We started a subsidiary company in INDIA!✨

Curious about what the LOTUSWEI Team is liking this time of year ~ count on us for holiday gifting inspiration! :)

The brilliant fiery red Ocotillo flower dissolves our tendency to engage in judgment. It helps us perceive the world around us in a fresh way and open to a wider variety of experiences in life. It softens our rigid habits, ‘shoulds’, and believing there’s only one ‘right’ way to do things. When we engage less in criticism, we can live more carefree! We open ourselves to the miraculousness, weirdness & synchronicity of life.

If you’ve been feeling fatigued, irritated … or maybe the monster called rage is bubbling up inside you … take it as a sign that your inner dragon is hot & needs soothing.

The Rain Lily is a Texas wildflower that blooms after it rains, and dies shortly thereafter. An ephemeral flower, it shows us how to take advantage of timing. Even Black Swans, or seemingly negative events, can be steered to benefit ourselves and others – if we grab the reins, and turn it into an opportunity to grow and expand beyond anything we’ve imagined. The Rain Lily dissolves hesitation and mistrust, reveals hidden beauty & inspires us to flourish no matter what.

A few weeks ago, I posted a video Reel on Instagram that BLEW up. It’s our most liked, watched, saved, commented, shared video of all time ... And, thousands of new people were connected to LOTUSWEI ~ because it sort of went viral.

Wild Geranium dissolves our tendencies to wait for the ‘perfect’ conditions – and just go for it! Because sometimes we fear that we’re not good enough or not ‘ready’. We fear we don’t have the right tools, materials, education or timing. Wild Geranium sweeps all the obstacles and hesitation away and puts us into a state of pure, aligned action. We know that we’re perfect for the job. Nothing is missing. The conditions are right. The timing is right. And we can get to work.

This is one of my favorite podcast interviews of all time. I think Dr. Stanton & I both knew this conversation was going to go deeper & more under the surface than we normally would go on a podcast interview over Zoom. Dr. Stanton has been studying flower essences since he was in his mid-20's ~ so he knows my language.

Wild Buckwheat elixir amplifies our ability to bring something inconspicuous, invisible or subtle to social awareness. It obliterates inner & outer obstacles, so that we can spread a message – or harmonic energy – swiftly, like electricity, and exponentially, from group to group. Rather than strive for success through efforting and depletion, we recognize how to create sustainable expansion by decreasing static and increasing efficiency within collective communication channels.

The term 'Sacred Sting' came to me while I sitting with the Pink Torch Ginger flower in Singapore when I originally collected it. It refers to the type of situation in life that arises & triggers some sort of old wound or painful experience ⁠— the sting.

In 2022, we traveled to 5 different cities for our Ripple the Void Flowerlounge Tour. At each event, Katie & Lisa each gave their own TED-Talk-on-Steroids-Style presentations to share about the impact of flower essences, mindful awareness practices, and 5-element & flower elixir-infused chocolate!

Collected in the sacred mountains of Nepal near a magical spring, this wild Daphne obliterates inner obstacles to being the boldest version of ourselves. In the harshest conditions, and when the path appears to be unclear, we can flourish and thrive. Daphne refines and sharpens our north star, our ability to identify and keep coming back to what’s most important to us. Firmly established in unwavering conviction of what’s meaningful, we can be fierce and wild, and wield a sword of sharpness, knowing that we are solid as a rock in our commitments.
