Body
Blue Earth Forest Farm is an off-grid forest-farm in British Columbia, Canada.
The Nlaka’pamux people have lived here for 1000's of years sustainably and respectfully.
It is our intention to respect this wisdom and the peoples carrying on these traditions.
They are not as far down the path of genocide as many cultures of the world.
They are currently undergoing one but have held on to their "red road" which is represented in their understanding of nature and the medicine wheel.
I realize now that i am the "white" part of the medicine wheel.
There are 4 colors in this wheel of healing and they represent all 4 skin colors of all humanity.
I am wanting to relearn what it means to be a healthy part of this wheel of healing.
I don't want to get in the way of the other 3 parts of the wheel and their healing.
We will not heal unless we heal together and help each other do so.
If we heal ourselves, we heal the earth.
If we heal the earth, we heal ourselves.
As one of my guru's (teachers) would say:
"Human being, is human being, we all have the same bodies under this skin."
My interest at Blue Earth Forest Farm is to relearn this connection of body and earth.
How does the bacteria, the micro-particles of the earth interact with my body?
It turns out the body has more bacteria from the earth, both inside and on the surface, than we have cells.
Does this mean i am more earth than body?
Where do i stop and where do i end?
I would like to research these questions that are currently at the cutting edge of science.
What is this gut-microbiome and how does it relate to the health of humanity and our soils that sustain us?
Welcome to the fungal revolution!
