In the last foundation we start to look at our relationship with nature and how we fundamentally rely on its processes and generosity for our very survival. Whether it be for housing, food, comfort, livelihood, meaning; everything is dependant on nature.

With this realisation, I encourage you to see how your relationship to your lands can improve; how you can help the land and how the land can help you. It could be asking how to orientate a new home, where to plant a tree or crop, where best to do a ritual, or how to deal with a 'pest' or intense weather event; just look in to your own life and see how you can optimise the way you work or relate with land.

All the living aspects that  make up the lands we rely on are more than happy for this dialogue to take place and for optimisation for all to occur. 

 

For years I have allowed the lands I am in to guide the process of design, implementation and harvest. It has become abundantly clear how ready to work together our living lands are. From my opinion this is undeniably what we humans are going to have to do to continue to survive; we have done this before and no doubt we'll come back to it. 
 

For the fourth foundation you will:

• Keep visiting your chosen natural space. Begin to let this process be spontaneous and personal to you and the place. Do it your way and see what the Land wants.

• With a guided meditation, continue to practise the method of dropping in  to the body, then the subtle energy of the body, then opening to the clear and spacious nature of experience. 

• In the Land communication video, begin collaborating with your Lands in a way that is open to feedback and guidance after sharing your intentions openly with the space.

• Then, by dowsing, learn to locate the best place to sit and communicate with the land. 

​

From here on, I can't emphasise enough how personal the journey is to each person. Just like human-to-human relationships, the etiquette and ways of relating in human-to-land relationships varies also.

Don't be shy and don't be too cautious, but be clever and know your boundaries. This takes time.

 

Don't be shy to email me with stories, questions, experiences, doubts or any feedback. I offer that wholeheartedly and with a feeling of connection. I have much experience in this work, and yet I am humbled by the realisation that I won't ever stop learning. Learning is when we can share openly and unreservedly our experiences with one another.
