at work in nature and gives
basic indications of the practical
measures needed to bring them
into full play.

In this natural approach
to gardening, such things
as self-development, self-
care and the willingness to
observe, learn and adjust
within are fundamental to
success.

In his book Sacred Agriculture:
The Alchemy of Biodynamics,
Dennis Klocek writes: “An esoteric
point of view...the evolution of the
Earth depends on the evolution
of human consciousness. They
are not separate. The ancient
peoples understood that...human
consciousness is woven in with
the destiny and life of the Earth.
As a result they lived in a sacred
manner. They understood the
relationship between the human
and the divine by seeing the Earth
as the mother and the sky as the
father of humanity.”
In this natural approach to
gardening, such things as self-
development, self-care and the
willingness to observe, learn and
adjust within are fundamental to
success. Biodynamics brings a
spiritual aspect to the meditative
art of gardening used increasingly
by many people interested in
working with nature, rather than
trying to dominate it. Through
sacred stewardship of the land,
we co-create a sustainable

relationship with Mother Earth

and esoteric energies. In turn, we

receive an astounding abundance

of food and wellness.

I’d say that’s growing in the

right direction, wouldn’t you? H

Dowsing is also an important

part of biodynamic gardening.
