| Nighttime planting under the new moon |
April 22nd, Puebla - With a
surprisingly dry April so far and no rain in over two weeks, things
have been heating up on the rooftop. But the heat hasn't slowed us
down. The Dadas have returned from the last detox retreat, most hands
are on deck around the house and collaboration is growing. A few days
ago we held a nice, intimate little seed germinating party at night
under a thin sliver of moon. Everyone from the house gathered on the
roof to lend a hand with the planting. Dada sang a special mantra
that was given for tree planting ceremonies and the seeds were
tenderly placed into their earthy cocoons with thoughts of universal
consciousness nurturing them to maturity. The location of the seeds
will intentionally put some degree of stress of them, in the form of
heat and wind, while protecting them from heavy rain and direct sun,
aside from a few hours in the morning. In this way, they will be
better adapted to the harsh conditions
on the roof.
