Imaginary Flower Therapy

Angéline Behr

## “If flowers have magic properties, why not use them to fight the sorrows of our modern life?”

Lack of money, time, self-confidence, sleep; trouble in communicating, in making choices; fear of failure, fear of the future. Angéline Behr experienced all this during her graduation year. In response, she imagined a therapy to fight anxiety and stress based on the meaning and power of flowers. Drawing on botanical studies, tales, myths, legends, pseudo-scientific beliefs and other fictions, she established a typology of plants and flowers according to their properties and ability to solve problems. Between mediation, soft medicine and shamanic ritual, her ‘Imaginary Flower Therapy’ helps to overcome the difficulties of modern life. Angéline compiled her compositions into a book to share her experience.
