BFVEA has a membership of practitioners drawn from across  the UK and around the world.<\/p>\r\n<p> The Gathering happens each year and is open to members, friends and anyone interest in Flower and Vibrational Essences. The weekend consisted of  lectures from essence producers, practitioners and guest speakers on a whole range of things from specific  Essences or Essence ranges, through to dowsing, connecting with the music of plants, shamanic journeying and much more besides.<\/p>\r\n<p>It was a real pleasure to meet  everyone there, and over the course of the weekend we co-created  such a lovely group energy! A big thank you to all the speakers   this year, there were some really inspiring talks and some interesting   new possibilities that came out of the weekend, and of course to the organisers who put in so much hard work to make it all happen.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Here are a few pictures from the weekend&#8230;.<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"bloc50\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/events\/BFVEA%20-%20Chris.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of Chris Bailey giving a talk at the BFVEA Gathering in 2017\"\/>\r\n\t<p class=\"ft11\">Chris Bailey from Bailey Flower Essences giving the The Arthur Bailey Memorial Talk.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"bloc50r\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/events\/BFVEA%20-%20Heather.jpg\" alt=\"Heather Veitch gives a talk at the BFVEA Gathering in 2017\"\/>\t<p class=\"ft11\">Heather  Veitch &#8211; Everything is energy.

Seeing the devices in action over the weekend was a moving and profoundly inspiring experience and I felt a deep sense of how  beautifully the concept fitted in with our work with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/flower-essences\/flower-essences.asp\">Flower &amp; Vibrational Essences<\/a>. So we&#8217;ve decied to start selling the devices alongside our range of Flower, Gem &amp; Crystal Essences, and we&#8217;re really looking forward to see how things unfold! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystalherbs.com\/music-plants\/music-of-plants.asp\">Find Out More About MOTP<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.crystalherbs.com\/Music-of-the-Plants---Devices--More__c-p-0-0-124.aspx\">Buy A Bamboo Device<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p> So I&#8217;m looking forward to next years BFVEA Gathering and another chance to meet everyone there and hear more talks and inspiration around flower essences!
