Inspiration from Indigenous Cosmovision
This page is work in progress. I am looking forward to evolve it further with you and with nature.
Insights from the ‘Swiss Plant Path Initiation‘ and indigenous cosmovision

Alles hat seinen Platz und seine Aufgabe.
In mythology as well as their natural ecosystem, every plant and every tree has a particular role.
Just like everyone of us in this life,

Just like everyone of us in this life,
Everything is related and connected
This reminded me of the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh on ‘interbeing’. One beautiful explanation can be read or listened to in his book ‘Peace is Every Step’. I particularly love the audio version at the start of ‘Part 3: Peace is every step’. He shows beautifully how all is connected and interwoven. The rose and the garbage. The things we label ‘good’ and ‘bad’.
And how everything in the universe can be found in a flower in front of us.

Reciprocity & balance
In the indigenous cosmovision, it is natural to reciprocate and give back whenever we receive something.
In some cultures, this offer might have been a bit of tobacco. In others the conscious act of harvesting and tending the land.
At least as important as what plant we pick, is the way we pick the plant.

Everything lives, communicates and has soul
Alles lebt, kommuniziert, ist beseelt.
Reality is multidimensional
While we place particular focus on the physical/material and the intellectual (including questioning and trying to understand these lines with our minds) the indigenous cosmovision acknowledges all that is including layers such as the energetic and emotional body.
