The Great Turning

We are at a transformational moment in human history.

This is the Great Turning.

This is a whole mindset of understanding that we are part of a living planet.

In contrast to the Industrial Revolution, we are understanding that the sustainability of the Earth has been brought to the brink of utter destruction by our mindless greed.

We need new ways of living and holding the land intact for future generations.

These ways must become deeply rooted in our newly acquired belief systems.

The primary belief being that we understand who we are in time.

That we are part of the Earth, and the Universe.

That we are one.

For the past eleven years, the transformation of one small part of the Earth, from impoverished land to living abundance, has taken place here at Bealtaine Cottage.

All who have made the journey here have been impacted by the energy that is spiralling from the land.

During this time I have changed the way I see life.

Entrenched belief systems have been shriven, in much the same way as the albatross was finally released from around the neck of the Ancient Mariner.

What began as an experiment with permaculture, has become a journey of joy and synchronicity.

Synchronicity is a form of coincidence powerful enough to shatter the notion that material science has discovered all there is to know about the universe.

It was the power of synchronicity to overwhelm the rational mind that held significance for the Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung (1875-1961),  who brought the phenomenon to light.

Jung defined synchronicity,   as meaningful coincidence, effecting the breaking through the “rationalistic shell” of the modern scientific mind.

The experience of synchronicity is articulated by many rational and educated people, who become aware that there is more at play in this world than what science can explain.

“The Great Turning is a name for the essential adventure of our time: the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.” ~ Joanna Macy
