Friday 27th March
The Moon moves from Gemini into Cancer on its journey around the zodiac. Cancer, represented by the crab, brings a nurturing quality, a softening that can be felt both within ourselves and in the garden. In the garden, we experience how therapeutic this can be, as in nurturing the land, it begins to nurture us in return. Many biodynamic farms offer therapeutic and educational opportunities to the wider community, where through working with plants, pushing wheelbarrows, digging beds, and sowing seeds, we engage Rudolf Steiner’s twelve senses: touch, life, movement, balance, smell, taste, sight, warmth, hearing, speech, thought, and the sense of the I of the other. Through this engagement, we are gently brought back into our bodies. The mind can begin to settle, and a quiet sense of ease may arise, as we reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth and our place within it.
