Viola Restore: February 27, 3-5 pm Can you take a pause, a moment for yourself to soften and heal? The upcoming Viola Restore Workshop speaks to this. Radiant Bee Flora is joined by Maggie McVeigh, an educator in restorative yoga and Lotus Wei flower essences and Reiki Practitioner. Maggie’s vibrant light that emanates and shines from her is very much like the Viola plant spirit medicine we will be meditating on.

Here in NC the pansies are popping up their faces, reminding us of thoughtful plantings last Fall. My grandmother would speak of the viola faces when I was very young, how they are saying hello and reminding us of our joy. They also give a deep embrace and restore the calm and gentle ways of our health and hearts. Viola is a large species of flower with friendly openness but has deep and independent mysteries, such as a flower face and a secret flower and self pollination. We will be journeying specifically with the pansy, a garden and flower pot favorite. Also has been called heartsease, it is also a symbol of love. I find tinctures, syrups made with violets extremely healing and love to decorate food with pansies. To me, they are enduring and tolerant yet gentle and the houses of faeries.

This workshop will begin with Maggies Restorative Yoga, the art of active resting that can heal your body, settle the mind, and renew your spirit by activating the parasympathetic nervous system for healing. She layers reiki energy work, sound healing, meditation, and flower essences together to enhance her yoga practice and the practice of others. Then we will journey with Viola to receive the hourshing healing you may be in need of right now.

Together, Maggie and Lee have come up with a program exploring Restorative Yoga, Viola Plant Medicine and can be augmented by Lotus Wei, Inner Knowing Flower Elixir if you choose. We invite you to a spa day to walk in the woods and bathe in the freshness of pansies in the spring and get in touch with the oneness of nature for support. Many of us have had so many issues related to health immunity and the stress that is entailed with it. We are hoping to provide care for those who need it, especially caregivers.
