GARDENING AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE: Building Kinship with the Living World
Region:
ENGLAND, SOUTH DEVON
Venue:
Sharpham Estate, Devon
Led By:
Satish Kumar, June Mitchell, Colum Pawson
Inspired by spiritual, ecological, and cultural traditions – from Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual understanding of agriculture through Biodynamic farming, to the Shumei movement in Japan founded by Mokichi Okada, and Vinoba Bhave’s practice of Spiritual Gardening in India – as well as contemporary movements such as agroecology, permaculture, organic agriculture, and no-dig gardening, the weekend weaves together reflection, conversation, and hands-on engagement. Together, these traditions remind us that when we garden with love and awareness, the soil nourishes not only the body, but also the heart, the mind, and the spirit. Over the course of the weekend, participants are invited to share in learning and celebration, cultivating joy, care, and reverence for the earth. Together, we will explore how spiritual gardening can support personal wellbeing, ecological renewal, and a deeper sense of belonging in a living world.
