It does not go towards food & drink purchases. Nor my own wallet :).**

I didn’t typically go online after watching a healer’s interview to look up their products, but something fascinated me about the idea of flower essences and I felt compelled to check it out. Fifteen minutes later, I had my cart stacked to the hilt as I was so excited about this healing modality! Taking easy-to-use vibrational remedies in order to heal and shift emotional, mental and energetic patterns? It sounded amazing and I couldn’t believe I didn’t know about them sooner! As thrilled as I was, I did get initially overwhelmed with all of the options for healing, as they do address a wide range of issues. I put the essences on the backburner for a while, only to have the flowers come to me in my dreams shortly thereafter. I was propelled by this dream to seek out the honeysuckle flower, which I discovered was a flower essence while taking a class at my local herb shop. I worked with them for a number of years to support both myself and my family before getting my [Flower Essence Practitioner Certificate](https://thestarlightearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/completion-certification-fes-practitioner-kelly-a-brown.pdf) from the [School of Flower Essence Studies](https://floweressencestudies.com/). I am currently offering 1:1 Flower Essence Therapy Consultations through my website: https://thestarlightearth.com/flower-essence-therapy/ All Meetup members receive 50% off their first session ❤️ Flower essences are a natural, safe and effective healing modality and I am excited to share their energy, power and gentleness with all of you!

Meet in the Arts

[Which art style are you? Vote and see who shares your lane.](https://app.favr.town/polls/s_378XeL85R4csGQ?r=@lovemaze) Our preferences in art reveal more about us than we often realize. Long before personality traits were formally categorized, psychologists studied personality differences through individuals' ratings of various paintings. If you find yourself drawn to the same piece of artwork, there's a strong chance you share a deep connection. Meet in the museum for an excursion. Sign up on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and predict your next art buddy before you meet. Find out if you're right when you meet onsite. Or, if you fancy other museums, pin them at times that work for you on [favr.town](https://favr.town/) and discover who you might meet there. Note: This is a [Favr.town](http://favr.town/) member exclusive event. [Join](https://favr.town/events/meet-and-shop-trader-joes-trader-joes-2026-06-15-17-00) [[https://favr.town](https://favr.town/) ] Hint: Fans of abstract art tend to be creative, pop art lovers are often optimistic, impressionism enthusiasts are more likely to be conscientious, and those who prefer traditional art tend to be, well, more traditional. Something extra: Why do these traits matter? See how [optimism](https://favr.town/blog/the-power-of-optimism-in-relationships-how-a-positive-outlook-strengthens-resilience-emotional-health-and-lasting-love-2025-11-20), [conscientiousness](https://favr.town/blog/how-responsibility-and-reliability-build-trust-and-lasting-love-2026-04-19), [traditional values](https://favr.town/blog/prioritizing-family-values-for-lasting-commitment-and-love-2025-12-17), and [excitement](https://favr.town/blog/how-novelty-play-and-shared-adventure-keep-love-alive-2025-12-14) influence relationships. You can also measure how your sense of [optimism](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=1&b=OPTIMISTIC), [conscientiousness](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=CONSCIENTIOUS), [traditional values](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=TRADITIONAL), and [excitement](https://app.favr.town/we?t=1&s=2&b=EXCITING) stack up against others.

WTF (Weekly Tuesday Folders)

**NEW LOCATION:** OMG NYC (Origami Meetup Group! New York City) is a group for people to come together and share in the beautiful art of Origami - an ancient art of folding various mediums, most commonly paper. The word comes from the combination of the Japanese verb oru (to fold) and the noun kami (paper). Other materials often folded are fabric, wire mesh, sheet metal, tissue, thin plastic, cardboard, and straws. We meet as a group to teach each other new models and share paper, books, and tips. This meeting is free and open to all level of folders from beginners to advanced. There will be free paper available to share. You can bring your own paper and books, so you can just show up and fold! If you have models you would like to learn, or teach, let us know and we will try our best to accommodate.
