The Fairy Congress
Sacred Gardening and Flower Essence workshops
"The Fairy Congress"
Friday June 28-Sunday June 30th
Skalitude Eco-Retreat Center 302 Smith Canyon Rd Carlton, Washington
Cost- $270 for the three day event which includes camping, meals and workshops
"Creating a Fairie Power Healing Circle"
The Faerie Realm is a very real evolution, not unlike our own. They simply vibrate at a higher frequency so most humans are unable to see them. But we can certainly cocreate with them. The main work of the Nature Faeries is to absorb Power and then use it on the Earth Plane to strengthen, heal and balance whatever they're in charge of, whether it's a grove of trees,a planting of roses, a meadow of asters or even the tiny seeds nestled in the head of a clover. All are precious to the Faeries and they take their job very seriously! In this class I lead you through a process where we cocreate a circle with the Faeries and other members of the Nature Realm and use our collective power to create a spinning vortex of light. This vortex will then become part of a grid system of light that will continue to spin to help heal,balance and support the area of the Earth where the process is done. This is powerful work for the health of the Planet and it's a joy to share this process with the Faeries and other Nature Beings. And I look forward to sharing it with you!!!
"Sacred Gardening"
In this class we'll explore ways to embody the highest integrity as we plant and tend our gardens. Love in action is what is called for now in these times of change,and when treated with love,our gardens become beautiful beacons of light that not only nourish us,but nourish the entire Planet as well! It all begins with us.
Gardening is a sacred act, a cocreative adventure expressing the love between Humans and Nature. Whether you plant a few flowers in a pot on a balcony or enough food to feed the family, it's all the same. The call goes out to the Nature Realms and the dance begins! What I share in this class are the ways to embody the highest integrity as we plant and tend our gardens. Love in action is what is called for now in these times of change on the Planet; love as we nourish the soil, plant our seeds, tend our plants, connect with the unseen garden helpers such as the Devas and Faeries, plant with the pollinators in mind,harvest our produce,and find peaceful organic solutions as we interface with the insects and other forms of life in the garden. When we work together in love,our gardens become beautiful beacons of light that not only nourish us but nourish the entire Planet as well! This is an interactive class where we can share our ideas on how to create harmony in our gardens. In Sacred Gardening the love begins with us!
"Understanding Flower Essences and how to make them"
Flower Essences are a beautiful vibrational remedy, similar to homeopathic remedies, that provide healing and balance in a subtle yet powerful way. In the workshop we'll discuss what Flower Essences are,how they work, their history in the healing arts and how they help us to heal. Then we'll each choose the flowers we're drawn to in order to make our own Flower Essence. They'll be a hand-out provided with instructions for making Flower Essences, so you'll have it for future reference. Creating Flower essences is another way to experience and enjoy the wonderful, healing world of flowers!!!

"Over The Rainbow
a gardener's guide to creating light-filled gardens" is a spiritual gardening book. You'll find plenty of information on basic gardening techniques - what I call the "nuts 'n bolts" of gardening such as Soil Amendments 101, tips and techniques for planning and planting the garden and "the scoop on soil tests" which explains what a soil test can reveal about your garden soil and how to make it better. From there it expands into an array of informative topics such as honoring nature's cycles in the garden (i.e.;planting by the moon for instance), planting for pollinators, insights on gardening with children, various techniques for preserving your harvest, which includes about 30 garden fresh recipes and gardening in climate change. For those interested in the more spiritual aspects of gardening I've included techniques for communicating with Nature, particularly in the garden, a chapter introducing the use of flower essences (and how to make them) and a chakra balancing meditation. There's something in this book for everybody! |

Second Book "Earth Harmony" is Coming!
I have now begun writing a second book called "Earth Harmony". This book will be a call to action explaining the ways we can make compassionate choices with ourselves and with the world around us. How do we garden with an open heart and create garden sanctuaries for all to thrive? How do we find ways to treat the animals with compassion so we may honor their lives as they too, are part of the fabric of life? How do we make better energy choices so we may lessen our footprint on a changing planet? And how do we make compassionate choices towards ourselves as we learn to love ourselves more? This book delves into these topics and so much more. It will also include a chapter of healthy and yummy vegan recipes that I trust all will enjoy! I'm hoping the book will be published sometime in 2020 - I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, as always, have fun in the garden!

There's something beyond science that happens in the midst of Marianne. I visit her garden with my daughter when our worlds are spinning and we need to feel grounded. There's an energetic calmness and lifting that happens simultaneously. It's actually surreal. Her fruits and herbs and tomatoes have brought us years of health. Her teachings have brought our own garden to life. And now when there are creepy crawlies in our house and my daughter finds them, she takes a piece of paper or her hands and lovingly frees them to the world, and off they go. For a 6 year old to know of the feelings of the plants and animals that surround her is vital to her growth.
Her understanding of fairies is far greater than any adult and equally powerful to her constant state of bliss. And when winter settles in and colds cross our doorstep, the flower essences Marianne makes seems to satisfy the craving of my little girl. It makes it all better! It's sweet and pure and healing for the mind and the body. I'd say we're "over the moon" about it and Marianne is "over the rainbow"! ~ Julie Over 20 years ago, I was introduced to Marianne by a mutual friend and talented landscape artist, he would consult Marianne on many of his high-profile projects. The moment I met Marianne in her garden (which was more like a flower forest) I could feel my vibration elevate. I had never fully understood the power of flora and fauna until I stepped into Marianne's magical realm. Besides being an incredibly kind and compassionate human being, Marianne's talents to create colorful, feastful, utterly magnetic environments is stunning. To spend an hour in the garden with Marianne feels like a casual conversation that goes by too quickly, and, when it's over, you will find that you know incredible amounts about her "friends" that grow and pollinate there. Marianne doesn't lecture, she joyfully imparts knowledge based in a deeply intuitive skill-set that is rare, as is clear from her blog. I am excited to read her book "Over The Rainbow; a gardener's guide to creating light-filled gardens"and implement her sage advice to create my own colorful, soul and body feeding realm. (And my daughter is all about calling in the faeries!) Marianne's flower essences are equally magical and potent for important vibrational shifts and insights and make incredible gifts! Whether you are a nuts-and-bolts gardener type, or on a Spiritual quest to connect with the Earth and all beings, I can assure you that you have found the perfect resource in Marianne and this gorgeous GardenRainbows website. When Marianne states she wanting to help humankind harness Heaven on Earth, I have no doubt she is serious...and she is one of the planet's beautiful souls that has the gifts to fulfill this promise. Deb Zehr ,San Diego, CA I have been following Marianne's gardening methods for decades. She truly has a special sense about plants and their environment. I have learned so much from her about listening to what the plants need but also about trusting my own inner knowledge about gardening. It’s always a balance between the natural science of things and the co-creative process that makes gardening so deeply satisfying. Renata Reid Wonderful products! They were of great assistance to me through some very stressful times. I would recommend them highly. The vegetables and fruits grown in Marianne Vaughn's garden contain very clear healing energies as a result of the love and nourishment they receive. They're also the tastiest of any produce I've ever eaten! Nancy B |
