Inspiring you to make connections that heal by Denise LaBarre
Aloha!
Welcome to the Healing Catalyst Corner, a new column about healing. Here, I discuss
healing our bodies, our emotions, our earth, and ways we can improve the connection
between all of them. Illness, dis-ease, and disharmony result from disconnection. We
have the potential to be healing catalysts—creative connectors who change our internal
and external worlds through positive intention and practice. No matter how frazzled or
overloaded we get, if we cut through the daily overload with actionable inspiration that
realigns our physical and emotional well-being, miracles are possible.

crops completely organically on all levels. There are also
certification standards that must be met annually. He
suggested it is beneficial to get to know your farmer and if
you instinctively don’t feel good about the farmer and their
practices, then to shop elsewhere.
Another option may be that each of us plant organic
food in our own back yards and not have to deal with
farmers at all. If everyone planted gardens instead of
having lawns then food would be plentiful. However,
not all of us have the knack for gardening or the time
to garden, as I found out when I helped my daughter
build and plant a large garden last summer. We spent
hundreds of dollars to terrace the land, prepare and enrich
the soil, plant the plants, install irrigation, put up trellises
and compost the garden only to have a tiny yield. Turns
out neither of us had the free time to tend the garden’s
needs such as: watering, weeding, eliminating bugs
and harvesting. There is an art to gardening intuitively
rather than mechanically, and with my busy schedule, I
never mastered that art. I did however, develop a deep
appreciation for farmers and for the care they give to their
crops. Conscious gardening takes both a commitment
to the environment and a willingness to work hand in
hand with Mother Nature as well as a desire to garden
successfully over time. As with any art, it takes practice.
Since most of us rely on farmers to grow our food, it is
important that we educate ourselves on the integrity of
different farming practices and choose to buy our veggies
and fruits from a reliable source. Although there is not
one right way to grow food, the farming practices that
work with sustaining the environment and not polluting
the earth are the most intuitively positive approaches
to growing food. Hopefully over time, more and more
people will be guided to tune into the needs of the
land and find complimentary ways of farming that can
sustain us all in a healthy way, for ultimately each of us is
responsible for the planet and for our ecosystem.

we neeD to take care of tHe eartH old pattern of master and slave, regardless of its
current form.
People need to belong to the land, they need to feel that they have a relationship with the land that cannot be taken away.
Once that connection with Planet Earth and nature is established, a human being naturally longs to plant trees for the next
generation, to cultivate gardens to feed her family, to create beautiful spaces. Returning the people to land is the best way
we have to feed this world and bring bountiful abundance of all things.
Another solution is to create nature preserves and food forests which are protected from being sold into perpetuity with land
trusts, shared by many people collectively.
We can take steps toward sustainability even without

reGenerative agriculture by adam Lottig
Regenerative agriculture sounds cool. Just the word “Re-Generative” resonates on
some level with those of us who see the need for the restoration of healthy farmland,
forest land, or any other system that has been compromised. So, given our current eco/social/
political/economic climate, it makes sense that Regenerative Agriculture seems to be kind of a buzz word these
days. Regenerative practices through the teaching of Ernst Gotsch’s principles of Syntropy, show us how using
simple and cost effective methods, we can create incredibly dense and diverse, multi-level forest systems in any
climate with any mix of plants from anywhere on earth. Syntropy, the opposite of Entropy, is the phenomenon
of Life systems to become more complex, rich and organized when designed from the beginning, to maximize
abundance by focusing on biodiversity.
Succession is the study of a forest or any other type of ecosystem as it moves from less complex and diverse to
more complex and diverse through time. By studying succession, Ernst Goetsch teaches us how humans can be
the catalysts for, and caretakers of diverse and abundant forest ecosystems. This Forest structure provides a vast
majority of the important resources to life on Earth. From healthy soil, fresh air, clean water, fruits, woods, many
other medicinal and valuable resources, all the way to being one of the most powerful influences of the planet’s
weather cycle through the transpiration process and the uptake of carbon and the creation of oxygen. Forests
are clearly one of, if not the single most valuable resource on Earth that we have an active interaction with.
Starting with the pioneering weeds, grasses, and fast growing plants, and moving through the different levels
of increasingly dense and diverse “accumulating” plants and trees, a forest grows in density, complexity, bio-
diversity and abundance, until arriving at the level of Climax Forest. This was the state of the original Hawaiian
forests, the Amazon Rain forests, and the vast Boreal forests of the north.
