Creating Paradise - An Experiential Workshop in Practical Beauty Ecology
We are all fundamentally creative beings; generating new worlds in every moment with our thoughts, feelings and emotions. They fuel our innate desire to explore and express our potential. We also have a deep longing to be surrounded in beauty.
Our biology responds very positively to the perception of beauty, and our psychology is tuned to want more of it. So basically we are here, on this precious planet, to experience and appreciate beauty and to seek ever new ways to make more of it.

So where do we start? Well, as with everything truly sustainable, we must start with ourselves. We are in a continuous bio-energetic dance with all the elements of our surroundings, constantly exchanging information and awareness. Beauty is all around us, all the time, even if it is not obvious to us. So the first step is to develop our ability to perceive our world a little clearer, then to feel it in our bodies, and then to recognise that we are one with this; that what we are seeing is actually a reflection of us, on some level. From here we can really begin to create more beauty consciously. This movement rapidly becomes self generating and self sustaining, as we seek to harmonise and integrate all that we see and experience. Before long we are seeing paradise in the potential of each moment and each space.
This practical and grounded workshop will open you to see and feel the Earth in a new way. It will give you an opportunity to touch your core creative impulse and inner beauty. It will enable you to begin conscious dialogue with your surroundings and show you how to use your head, heart and hands to create paradise. Based around the principles of Permaculture, but expanded into a deeper understanding of how best to communicate with the land elementals and spirits directly, this workshop will give even the most nervous creator the chance to become a master!
The next workshop will be held in Barkana, Karaimi’s beautiful home in the heartland of Moravia in Central Europe. But such a workshop could be held anywhere. If you are a family or community that wishes to generate an opportunity for people to come and co create paradise on your land, please contact us to discuss possibilities.

"... the sense of being immersed in the oneness of nature, so that man feels all the individuality, all the peculiarities of natural things in himself. He dances with the motes of dust and radiates with the Sun; he rises with the dawn, surges with the wave, is fragrant with the rose, rapt with the nightingale: he knows and is all being, all strength, all joy, all desire, all pain in all things separately."
