Inter Species Connection
Life is life, whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for mans own advantage.
— Sri Aurobindo.
I deeply relate to animals and plants, and love to explore the intuitive and natural art of inter-species communication within my possibilities.
Nature Connection with Kids
Nature all around is full of messages, nature speaks, and one can learn the language. Going out on walks, listening to the messages of the birds, of the wind, whichever Elements may call us: flowers, trees, a dog, a spider, a frog, a crystal, a rock. Connecting from heart to heart. A wonderful journey into deep and magical communication with all things; everything alive ingesting love and respect for the environment, for the earth and its creatures.
Children who grow up in Auroville have a strong potential to express their heart qualities in things that matter. They are very concerned about the disappearance of wildlife at a rate that might leave us without free-roaming elephants or lions by the time these kids grow up.
Children made some video clips to speak up for the endangered white lions. This lead to amazing adventures. Watch here
Flowers & their Messages
Mira Alfassa, also called The Mother, was in conscious contact with the spirit of the plants.
She has given more than 900 spiritual significances to flowers, which means that each flower carries it’s own message.
Connection to flowers are an amazing and simple way to identify with a way of being pure, open, gentle, generous, equanimous and beautiful.
‘Being-Nature-Being-Forest’ Walk in Presence
We offer walks of about 2h in very small groups, couples or families.
Each walk concentrates on opening the senses to the surrounding beauty and developing an awareness within. The walk is mainly in silence, and slow for most parts, punctuated with invitations to connect.
- Walk with ears open and slowing down- touching the ground.
- Walk with sight, touch and smell.
- Walk with opening to the living presence, taste with tea ceremony.
We have a chance to share at the end of each walk and we end with a simple herbal tea ceremony to embody and assimilate our experience and give gratitude to the forest (or occasionally with a ceremonial fire.)
I hope you will come and enjoy the walk, and I hope it will give you a glimpse of a deeper connection to Nature around and your own true Nature.
We all know about the benefits of walking in Nature: relieves stress and anxiety, boost immunity, improves heart and lung health, helps reduction of technological addiction, increases focus, brings better sleep, fights depression, and many more.
In our walks, we like to add the dimension of Presence. It is an invitation for going deeper and becoming vaster as to feel the universal current, the love that flows in and outside. It is also a way to start to feel a sense of true belonging. Of course this might not be achieved with one walk.
