Climbing West Of Lotus Flower Peak

Amongst the grandeur of Hua Shan
I climb to the Flower Peak,
and fancy I see fairies and immortals
carrying lotus in their
sacred white hands, robes flowing
they fly filling the sky with colour
as they rise to the palace of heaven,
inviting me to go to the cloud stage
and see Wei Shu-ching, guardian angel
of Hua Shan; so dreamily I go with them
riding to the sky on the back
of wild geese which call as they fly

Heart Gardens Education
Media Platform

From the Elphinstone Rainforests Heart Gardens comes a new template for all ages permacultured eco-education. I am happy to announce the emergence of

www.heartgardens.com

You will require the new version of flash to interact with this website. This is freely and easily acquirable on the web and if you do not have it already, the link will automatically appear on your browser to get it. Once you have it, the website will just open and work without you having to open any programs or files.

The main feature is the SITEMAP, an exploration of the 32 gardens and over 200 plants in this living classroom. This has been a year in the works, and now you can see pictures of the different gardens in all the four seasons experiencing the plants in their different seasonal growth patterns.

With a physical location people and classes can visit themselves, the web platform provides all ages school curriculums helping to teach about permaculture, native plants, bioregional ecology, organic gardening and sustainable development.

This is the starting point for the development of online correspondence courses which include flashed online exercises, video clips, audio streams, slideshows, activities and reading material that people can engage on their own schedule while focussing applied activities toward their own homes and landbase. The first of these is to be a Permaculture Design Certification Course.

We are seeking support grants to develop this permacultured eco-education platform into an all ages education, correspondence learning site inspired by the classes, courses and tours that take place in the Heart Gardens in downtown Roberts Creek. Let us know if you are aware of any grants, support possibilities, donors or independent funders that might help us to develop both the gardens, the educational elements and the web platform.

This art culture toolset reflects meaning from many mediums. It is a collection of essays, poems, design and artwork illustrating creative potentials for a culture in transition. This fourth chapter completes a visionary storyboard, tracing a lineage of magic, myth and medicine through the collective history of this metamediated present moment mythology. These are fables spun from the starry filaments of a dreaming universe, human chapters tracing their roots back to the first shimmer of creative consciousness.

there are those moments when the world drops in dense and light
when the mythical implications of an everyday moment
illuminate the matrix of story within which our lives
unfold their sacred origami

many streams, one story
many stories, one source
