IV. How can co-creative gardening help to heal the earth?

Many ancient cultures and indigenous peoples have foreseen this time as a great opportunity for change.

For several thousand years, we have been living in the age of Pisces. During the Piscean age, our relationship with nature reflected the consciousness of the time. We experienced nature through the lens of a parent/child relationship. First, nature was seen as an all-powerful force that could take care of our every need, and must be worshiped or appeased. Later, nature was perceived as an unintelligent wild force that must be subdued or controlled. During the later stages as our civilizations developed, these roles led to a battle consciousness as we worked to subdue and overcome nature. You can read more about this in Machelle Small-Wright’s Perelandra Workbook.

All of this was in perfect order, part of the learning process of the Piscean age. The effects of holding on to this consciousness beyond its time, however, are devastating the environment of our planet.

Now we are moving into the age of Aquarius, and the old parent/child relationship we developed with nature is no longer in sync. The Aquarian impulses will lead us to develop an equal, conscious partnership with nature. Our decisions will broaden to include the input of the nature spirits and Devas, working as a team to accomplish our mutual goals.

The planetary energy of this time actually supports this shift into the new dynamic. A new wave of co-operation and support is bringing healing and balance to our planet in a way that was not possible during the consciousness of the previous age. Our co-creative gardens are the energy centers that release this intention into the world and initiate our new reality.
