SPIRITUAL GARDENING
This class was designed to unify the well-known positive effects of gardening with the spiritual message that every flower sends us with its fragrance and color. However small or large a garden is, having one is a priceless gift. It is a place where you can rest your sight and your soul, rediscover the sounds and the rhythms of nature, and find inner peace. These benefits are already familiar to those who have a garden or work in the country. Working the land is both effective physical exercise and a perfect setting for meditation. Silence, interrupted by the music produced by the movement of leaves, the buzzing of bees, the bleating of sheep, and the barking of dogs has a refreshing effect on the psyches of people who are stressed by modern life, who are often advised to spend some restful periods in the country. There are additional benefits that work at the level of subtle energies - for example the green of the fields and the leaves and the thousands of shades and colors of flowers. What is the origin of this well-being? It comes from the fact that the vegetable kingdom has had a major influence on the evolution of human beings: flowers are one of the best harmonizing instruments for mankind because they are a reflection of the celestial model and reproduce on earth what already exists in the heavens. They represent the example and the classical model that define both beauty and harmony.
Our class unites a practical exercise of gardening with a micrcosmic context where we can receive and appreciate the messages of love that the ‘beings’ of the vegetable world send to us every day that we need only collect. We will meet for about ten lessons (two hours per week). The minimum number for starting will be ten participants.
