EXPLORE YOUR WILDERNESS

workshops, yoga classes & resources to create a beautiful life

WELCOME, FRIEND

The Elder Flower empowers you to live an abundant life.

We don’t just recover here, we build beautiful lives.  Maybe you are curious about exploring your relationship to substance use, disordered eating, anxiety, ancestry, depression, burnout, smoking, perfectionism, work, physical or sexual violence, systems of oppression, neurodivergence, grief, cancer, codependency or whatever it is you are healing from.  We believe that you don’t have to identify as your problem to be here, nor do you have to reach a “rock bottom” to begin a reclamation of your good heart.  Welcome, you belong just as you are!

THE MISSION

A SOFT PLACE TO LAND

At The Elder Flower, we’ve cultivated a nurturing environment where people from all walks of life can find belonging; live in our classes, workshops, adventures and virtually from home.

We are a regenerative business. We provide free resources and classes and paid offerings, too. After we pay our teachers, studio space and creators fairly, we invest profits back into building more free resources like The Elder Flower Podcast, live yoga, workshops and the Sharing Circle Blog. We offer scholarships for every paid offering we do, as well as work trade at the equivalent of a living wage. We see ourselves like a coral reef, supporting each other to thrive. If you purchase a workshop, you can feel good knowing yours is an investment in other women, queer and trans folks. We are all grateful you are here!

I’M JEN, YOUR NEW RECOVERY FRIEND

I am a storyteller, connector & creator.

I delight in bringing people together to co-create a place where we can tap into the wild of nature, find our voices and connect deeply.  

I am obsessed with topics of Belonging and Community, fascinated by the work of teachers like Joanna Macy (The Work That Reconnects), Father Richard Rohr and Mark Nepo. I want to be an elder in my community who supports and contributes. I have connected with others who yearn for connection, belonging and recovery, too! This project started in my home studio, but it has expanded into several community spaces and continues to be moulded and informed by every person who practices here: students, teachers, herbalists, gardeners, artisans and musicians, working together to heal our land and our hearts. Welcome to the Elder Flower. We’re growing something special!

“I cannot rave enough about this wonderful woman. She is a dedicated teacher and forever student who shares her practice with humility, courage, and generosity. If you are curious about connecting with her and the community we've been building no need to hesitate. You will be welcomed with unconditional love, non-judgment, and a warm embrace (flaws and all). She has created a space that is nourishing and safe! Sincerely grateful to have such a genuine and inspiring teacher and friend. She is one of a kind!”

The Sharing Circle

Our stories dispel shame and  help us realize that we have so much in common.  They remind us how much we’ve grown, and show us that we are in this together.  

Here are some of mine.  Here are some of hers.  Perhaps, you might share one of yours.
