Gør rødderne dybere

Frivillige fra Art of Living skabte i 2005 ‛Gør rødderne dybere’ for at tilbyde ungdommen et enestående

Frivillige fra Art of Living skabte i 2005 ‛Gør rødderne dybere’ for at tilbyde ungdommen en enestående erfaringsbaseret tilgang til bæredygtigt landbrug og ledelse/lederskab. ‛Gør rødderne dybere’ samler undervisere inden for permakultur, sundhed og wellness, meditation og ledelsesudvikling for at muliggøre et tre-ugers intensivt sommertræningsprogram.

1) Praktisk erfaring med arbejdet i en eksisterende 2-acre (skal omregnes!) økologisk have

2) Workshops med de seneste teknikker i ’kologisk landbrug og permakultur design

3) Formel indføring i læseplanens inderste/kerne/???, nemlig ernæring og wellness

Herudover skabte personalet tilknyttet/staben bag/ ‛Gør dine rødde dybere’ endnu et uddannelsesprogram – en omfattende/storstilet/, praktisk og sjov week-end workshop i/om bæredygtigt landbrug og ernæring. Formålet med denne workshop er, at dele kompetancer og viden fra det intensive sommer-træningsprogram, i en større skala, med lokalsamfund rundt omkring i verden. Deltagerne fra sommerens intensive undervisning modtager yderligere træning, for at blive klædt på til/i stand til at lede denne workshop for borgere/beboere i deres (lokal)samfund. Denne week-ens workshop er det formelle middel til gennemførelsen af ‛Gør dine rødder dybere’s mandat til at reklamere for/støtte bevidsthed og praksis omkring bæredygtigt landbrug, skabelsen af sunde økøsystemer, etableringen af lokal fødevaresikkerhed og tilladelse til at folk genopretter/genetablerer kontakten til naturen på en sund og produktiv måde.

Vision

Samfund rundt omkring i verden/over hele verden har ladet sig inspirere af ungdomslederne til at:

  • Omdanne græsplæner og offentlige områder til spiselige, vedligeholdelsesfri landskaber
  • Støtte små, lokale økologiske gårde og skabe fælles/samfunds systemer til fødevareforsyning
  • Spise godt og lægge stor vægt på sund, nærende mad
  • Forbruge mindre og reducere deres økologiske fodspor/fodaftryk
  • Lære hvordan man, gennem meditation, kan forøge sin energi, bevidsthed/opmærksomhed og effektivitet
  • Leve livet som en festligholdelse/fejring

De fem elementer fra ‛Gør dine rødder dybere’

‛Gør dine rødder dybere’ er opbygget af fem elementer: meditation, sundhed og wellness, bæredygtigt landbrug, bemyndigelse og fælleskab/samfund. Alle elementerne er vævet ind i hinanden for at danne/skabe materialet/stoffet til ‛Gør dine rødder dybere’

1. Meditation

Når vi møder/tager os af vor tids miljø- og sociale udfordringer, er det altafgørende, at vi gør det i en fokuseret, centreret, munter/sorgløs/ubekymret og engageret sindstilstand. Meditation er et redskab til at etablere og nære disse positive kvaliteter

2. Sundhed og wellness

Med en sund krop og selvforståelse, udvider en persons evner sig eksponentielt. Når vi ser os selv som en del af naturen, begynder vi at blive/være en ressource for andre og for det omgivende miljø.

3. Bæredygtigt landbrug

Den måde, vi vælger at spise på, afspejler vores forhold til den større/videre verden.‛Gør dine rødder dybere’udvikler et vibrerende, bæredygtigt og dynamisk samfund ved at være fortaler for/markedsføre/ fremme et innovativt, bæredygtigt landbrugssystem, som er relevant for alle.

4. Bemyndigelse

Engagement, selvtillid, enthusiasme, styrke og viljen til at p[tage sig en leders ansvar – dedikerede til disse kvaliteter – kan unge mennesker inspirere til omdannende social og miljømæssig forandring.

5. Fællesskab

At lære, at dele, at arbejde sammen i et accepterende og inspirerende miljø er afgørende/essentielt for vore programmers succes. Sammen finder/udvikler vi ideer og løsninger, som vil hjælpe/støtte udviklingen af nye sociale og økologiske systemer.

“I had decided to go back to my anti-depressants before this (The Art of Living) course, but now I don’t need them. I will practice these techniques every single day for the rest of my life. I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

I am seeing the change in my students. Earlier, they were restless in class. They have been discussing the terror attacks and there was a certain amount of anger, a strange fear in their sub-conscious that it could happen here too. The meditation program has helped ease tensions and the students feel calm throughout the day.

Although people were evacuated from the area, they could hear the firing and bombing. We are trying to remove the fear through yoga, meditation, satsang [community gatherings] and counseling techniques.

It is admirable with what a gentle resoluteness, with what a calm dynamic, with what full concentration, with what incorruptible kindness, Sri Sri Makes people understand that they can only contribute to peace by overcoming their own inner fear and prejudice against others.
Mr. Ruud Lubbers
Former Prime Minister, the Netherlands
I have met many NGOs - representative of indigenous people & they have made it clear that economic development alone does not sufficient. The common future of our one world family is rooted in the awareness that we have only borrowed mother earth from generations to come. The Art of living is not the end, but it is the beginning for everybody and everything. It is the way to harmony.
