March 21-22 is the introductory weekend for anyone interested in human and planetary ecology. We will look at health and food energetics within the context of the health of our planet.

HUMAN AND PLANETARY ECOLOGY
from the perspective of the Five Elements of Taoist medicine
“In Chinese medicine the human being is seen as a small working model of the universe. The same natural laws that govern the movement of the stars and planets. The seasons, climates and weather govern the human body with all of its intellect, emotions and feelings.”
Ancient wisdom with practical solutions as appropriate for our present world situation if not more so than it was 4,000 years ago.
Human health and planetary health are dependant upon one another for the harmony of everything that lives between heaven and earth.
This workshop is an introduction to understanding our personal health within the context of the health of our planet.
We will learn about the reciprocal relationship between the micro-organisms in the soil, how the mycorrhizal network maintains plant health, the creative action of the sun through photosynthesis and how Reciprocal Maintenance between all species enables human beings to thrive with the understanding that this works both ways – all species need human participation for earth to thrive.
From the wisdom of the Taoist Five Elements, we will learn about Food Energetics, how to eat seasonally and choose the foods medicinally for our own personal and family health needs.
This is an experiential workshop which makes use of meditation, guided visualisation, qigong and techniques for higher perception in the peace and unique sanctuary of OmVed Gardens.
Saturday –
- The interdependent pattern of human and planetary health.
- Wisdom of the soil – the reciprocal transformation of vital life force.
- Food energetics – transformation of nutritional energies from soil to plate.
- Inner exercises to heighten our perception of nature within the beautiful OmVed Gardens.
Sunday –
* Preparing a permaculture keyhole bed – we undertake a practical task in the garden. The power of visualisation and completion.
- Mindfulness meditation and inner exercises to enhance our experience of working with nature consciously.
- Taking responsibility; It’s not what should I do, but how to do it.
- Thinking for seven generations ahead – our legacy.
Executive eco conscious chef Arthur Potts-Dawson and his team will prepare seasonal and healing refreshments and vegetarian lunch both days from the open kitchen in the OmVed glasshouse. Arthur will explain his choice of foods and flavours and Lori will explain the seasonal energetics of the ingredients and which organ systems and health issues will benefit.
The cost includes all refreshments, lunch and course handouts.
If you have any questions about course content, please contact Lori direct at
Booking and tickets at www.omvedgardens.com
To launch our new course, we are offering a special price for the two days to include course hand-outs, all snacks and refreshments and delicious vegan lunch prepared and cooked on-site, both days.
Cost: £155. Early bird price £100 if booked by December 24th, 2018. A great Christmas gift that will go on giving beyond the workshop for someone you care about.
