Words By Tom Rivett-Carnac.
‘I’ve often considered it strange that the most intellectual creature ever to walk the earth is destroying its only home. This wonderful story, What Happened When We All Stopped, helps parents and their children to overcome the disconnect between our clever brains and our loving compassionate hearts. We must find a way of living in harmony with nature so that both may thrive. I hope this story book inspires people of all ages to play their part in healing the harm we have inflicted so that together we can create a new future.’
Dr Jane Goodall, DBE
Founder - the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace
It tells the story of how, in this quiet moment of quiet and isolation, something that we had forgotten creeps in, and we start remembering how to live on this planet.
The future is unwritten. What happens next is up to us and this story is as likely as any other. We who are here now get to choose where we take the human story next.
LET’S CHOOSE WELL.
'The garden reconciles human art and wild nature, hard work and deep pleasure, spiritual practice and the material world. It is a magical place because it is not divided'.
Thomas Moore - The re-enchantment of everyday life'
I have been working as a gardener and designer for 15 years. After leaving art college I studied horticulture and garden design, receiving distinctions in both qualifications.
I currently work as a flower farmer on a 2.5 acre field near Bath.
Within the garden work I have developed a passion for nature connection and an interest in shamanic practice. I have found through this practise a language in which the whole world comes alive.
For many this magic is longed for but not experienced. We have lost our way to connect to this most basic, needful life force.
Here is a simple, accessible route back.
Shamanism is thought to be the oldest and most widespread of all spiritual practices. Eviendence can be found across the continents and as far back as the hunter/gatherer cultures.
If we accept that shamanism is the practise of connection then this long history perhaps shows how essential to our very being this is.
As the earth struggles, as we consume more and more, finding our own unique language to connect to our world is essential if we wish to find a new way of being.
I work with individuals and small groups to find this connection to our world through shamanic practise, please contact me if you would be interested in finding out more.
