COSMIC GARDENING, TALKING STONES AND BURNED SOIL
A garden is - beside the metaphysical space of growing food and nutrition - a mental or physical place where we are aware or gaining awareness of which elements need to grow and which need to die - respecting and integrating the cyclic nature of everything.Therefore a garden is many- a space for growing food, a tool for spiritual transcendence and shifting consciousness, a tool for activism and resistence. By keeping the order of a garden you keep cosmic order and balance.RESEARCH

Gardening transcends mere physicality; it embodies a comprehensive ideology and ethos. At its essence, gardening is a symbiotic connection with the Earth, portraying it as a sacred and nurturing entity. It fosters a deep spiritual connection with the pulsating energy of our environment, casting humans as stewards rather than exploiters.Conversely, agriculture often adopts an exploitative stance towards the land. Rooted in domination, it perceives nature as a resource to be harnessed and manipulated for human benefit. This mindset prioritizes productivity and profit, often at the expense of ecological equilibrium and long-term sustainability.The Mythos of Gardening and Agriculture: BURNED SOIL
Agriculture, beyond its physical impact is a whole mindset and mythology: it comes with the narratives of progress and conquest. The myth of the "golden age" and the subsequent "fall" perpetuates the notion of linear advancement towards an improved state, echoing Darwinian principles of evolution. Nonetheless, this narrative overlooks the cyclic wisdom inherent in nature's balance.Comprehending the disparity between gardening and agriculture necessitates an exploration of the myths surrounding each practice. Gardening invokes the evocative imagery of the secret garden—a metaphor for the enigmatic and sacred facets of nature. It embodies the interconnectedness of all life forms and the profound mysteries that underpin existence.
