The word calix denotes a sacred cup or chalice that gives restorative nourishment. A related word, calyx, is a botanical term for the green structure that serves as a "chalice," or outer floral envelope to support the nascent bud of the plant. We offer the Calix journal to cultivate respect, insight and appreciation for the healing modality of flower essence therapy as it grows in the world.
