Dear Instructors,
It’s time for an update. This is the biggest update, by far, since the start of the project in 1997. There’s a lot to it. Let’s get down to business.
Up until now, most of the research and product development for the Skyflowers Project has been geared towards practitioners who work with clients in a clinic. Now, in the lead up to the release of the Clinical Flower Therapy textbook, I’m shifting gears and focusing on providing tools for workshop instructors and teachings aids for natural therapy schools.
Last June I began the design process and invested into 3d printing machines to manufacture my designs, in house. You can read about that process and what’s in the drawing board in previous posts. Since December 2024, I’ve been busy designing new products for the classroom. Originally, the plan was to release these products in March but there were delays and extra designs I wanted to add to the catalogue before I announced it.
Now I am happy to say that the Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet is ready for release. The name ‘playset’ may seem like a strange one but it will make perfect sense in a moment. Right now, “stage one” of Skyflowers: @Classroom is rolling out. There will be a series of updates and expansion kits coming throughout 2025 that pave the way for the Clinical Flower Therapy: 1st Edition. My plan is to bring a range of learning products to classrooms all around the world, not just a book.
Learning should be a ‘hands on’ experience.
Now that product development is wrapping up, I’m at the stage of writing to instructors and previous customers about the release. VIP’s and longtime supporters of the Skyflowers Project will get extra bonuses. I won’t cover pre-order details in this post and just stick to a few dot points. If you want to see the list of new products, see this post for details on each item.
Let’s take a look at what’s new.
Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet
- Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet is a major release with more ‘visual teaching aids’ planned for 2025. The physical products and learning tools will be released to schools first with (optional) workshop modules to match coming later.
- The Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet contains 3 color-coded box sets ( 75 remedies ) plus an additional ‘toolbox’ for the classroom. There are smaller and larger versions available but the 3 box set version is the default. Prices TBA.
- Color-codes (R,G,B) are a core feature of all Skyflowers products moving forward – labels, boxes, website, workshop modules, etc. The color codes are blue for mental body remedies/modules, green for emotional body remedies/modules & red for physical body / karmic consequences remedies and learning modules. Yellow is also used to identify combinations or box sets with mixtures of the three. R,G,B,Y are the 4 main codes and will be front and center of all materials.
- Color-codes are used to identify the remedies, help when mixing combination remedies, etc. Workshop modules and chapters of the Clinical Flower Therapy textbook will all be color coded. E.g. Any module about the mental body, thought processes, mental habits, etc will be coded blue. Any module relating to emotions, emotional behavior and actions will be coded green, etc.
- Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet comes in a new, modular box design that can be taken apart, rearranged and reconfigured with other modules for demonstrations or classwork. As the name suggests, the set is designed for ‘hands on learning’ and for students to interact, play with and used to act out design ideas as they build their natural therapy business in the classroom.
- The box is a flat, 5×5 grid tray. Each of the 25 remedies comes individually boxed that you can detach from the tray. Modules are color-coded and highly visible so you can see that from the back of the classroom. This makes the set handy when teaching class and helps students identify remedies during practice sessions. The modular and colorful design is perfect for playing learning games, student presentations and exams, etc.
- The Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet can be expanded with other 3d printed modules. There are different tools commonly used in natural therapies – 25ml mist spray modules, 10ml essential oils, 5ml allergy vials, cream jar holders, storage bins, etc. There’s even a post-it-note dispenser for sticking reminders in your books about due dates for assignments. All the tools you need in a classroom or workshop are on the drawing-board and will be released throughout 2025. The goal is to create a ‘Swiss Army knife’ of different tools you can use in a clinic, on your desk or to promote your business at a trade fair.
- ‘Catering Packages’ for workshops, conferences and special events are coming in Q3. Instructors will be able to order ‘early bird discount’ packages, student packs, graduation gifts, etc. Laser engraving will be added to the product line up later this year for personalized products and artwork. Catering Packages is next on the drawing board after the release of the Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet. Catering Packs can be ordered in any configuration to match your workshop or course material. An express check out will be posted on the website to design your own toolkit and make ordering for a workshop, easy.
- Student Packs – There are palm-sized 3×2 grid or 5×2 grid trays available also. They are the perfect carry tray that students can load up with their favorite tools and walk around the practice room with. Different carry cases are on the drawing board for other applications such as a travel kit using the same block modules.
- The ‘play blocks’ are designed to make learning a ‘hands on’ experience. In terms of Clinical Flower Therapy, my goal is to restore hands-on learning of the plants and will be designing plant-related 3d prints, laser engravings and wood products to go with workshop material. In the old days, plant medicine was taught using live plants and dry plant material. I’m releasing the basic blocks now but am ultimately heading in that direction with my designs.
The release of the Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet is just the beginning and I have expansion kits already on the drawing board. At this stage, I am rolling out the ‘physical modules’ before the matching written material is released. That way instructors can start playing with the tools and providing feedback while the workshop modules are being written.
New, Box Sets (Coming Soon )
With the release of the Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet, the entire range are about to be refreshed also. There will be a new guide on ‘choosing the right toolkit’ and new box sets for different modalities and clinical styles. There is already a ‘general practice’ ( Pro / kinesiology ) set available but there will be a new series for Life Coaches & Personal Trainers ( talk-based therapy ), a Crisis Care & Emotional First Aid ( emergency workers, social workers, etc ) set and several other clinical themes.
The flowers in each series have been chosen and prioritized from a list of 200 research remedies, so each set will be balanced differently depending on the modality. Each set comes in a series of 5 boxes, so if you want to expand your set, then you choose ‘Box B’, ‘Box C’ etc from the same series in order to avoid an overlap in content. Box A, of course, will have the top 25 recommendations for your modality and will be a comprehensive toolkit, by itself.
On top of this, every box set of remedies can now be ordered in two versions – Clinic edition or classroom edition. As I operate a print-on-demand 3d printing service, I can print in a wide range of colors and styles.
- Clinic (Pro) Edition packaging is designed to look professional in a clinic. Color-codes are subtle or you can pick your own colors to match your room decor or brand. Colors include Apple Green, Fairy Pink, Lavender Purple, Olive, Sakura Pink, Tan, Charcoal Grey & White.
- Classroom Edition packaging is highly visible, uses the Skyflowers R,G,B,Y color-codes and are brightly colored for visual learning in a classroom.
While the Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet is a comprehensive toolkit and is designed for teaching Clinical Flower Therapy,the new ‘Classroom Editions’ of each set allows instructors to choose from a range of thematic sets to match their course material. This caters to niche subjects.
Well, that’s about it for now. It’s a bumper update and has taken me 5 solid months of design, prototyping, color picking, etc to develop. Once again, thanks to the VIP’s and current customers who have promoted my work. It has really helped me to develop Clinical Flower Therapy to the point where I can start to release it into schools. Starting with the Skyflowers: Classroom #PlaySet
The new product line will begin to appear on the website but will likely take a few weeks to complete and properly configure in the shopping cart. If you wish to order something in the meantime, send me an email at info@skyflowers.co and I will manually place your order. Prices and pre-order bonuses will be announced by the end of April 2025.
That’s all for now.
