PERELANDRA GARDEN WORKBOOK II
Co-Creative Energy Processes for Gardening, Agriculture and Life.
by Machaelle Small Wright
The co-creative partnership with nature that began with the Workbook continues with Workbook II.
The Perelandra Garden Workbook II adds an important piece of the picture in the co-creative relationship with nature that began with the Perelandra Garden Workbook. And what a piece it is! The easy-to-use energy processes in Workbook II open a door to a new world in which we discover that the balance and health of a garden are more involved than just finding out what fertilizer is needed. A balanced garden, farm or home environment must also include balanced energy and vitality. And Workbook II introduces us to the many elements of balance we can't see — the energy elements.
IMPORTANT: Although this book is written from the perspective of a gardener, its use is not restricted to gardens growing in soil. The processes worked out with nature for the Perelandra garden are processes that can be lifted from the garden context and applied wherever one wishes to work with nature in a partnership. For example, the Workbook is being used successfully by landscape architects, backyard architects, foresters, farmers and ranchers. It is also being used by folks who want to establish a balanced environment with a pond, a single aquarium, one houseplant or an atrium.
But nature affects us in other ways, too, and the Workbook is equally effective in soil-less gardens, such as balancing the interior of a house, or developing a business or service. (See A Garden as Defined by Nature, the book the Perelandra Soil-less Garden Companion and DVD-3: Working With Nature In Soil-less Gardens.)
We can work with nature to bring ideas into effective form and action in exactly the same manner as we would bring a devically designed garden into balanced form. Wherever there is form, one finds nature — and the opportunity to work with nature in a co-creative partnership.
The environmental processes in the Workbook and the energy processes in Workbook II may be very different in concept, but they are equal in importance. To work with nature co-creatively and effectively you will want to use the environmental processes in conjunction with the energy processes.
Helpful video companions to the Workbooks:
DVD-1: The Perelandra Garden, is especially helpful if you wish to integrate the information from the two Workbooks into your environment.
DVD-3: Working with Nature in Soil-less Gardens, lays out all the necessary guidelines for applying both Workbooks to the areas of your life not growing in soil: business, home, education, etc.
The Perelandra Garden Workbook and Workbook II are most effective when used together.
