Rituals that honour the earth have been used by ancient cultures and
continue to be important and practiced still by the dwindling indigenous
cultures throughout the world. Ritual is about giving thanks for our basic
needs (food, shelter, love/nurturing), and by performing a ritual regularly,
however simple, we create a divine energy that is cyclicly returned to the earth.

In our western civilisation, especially in the last 50 years, we no longer understand our
fundamental relationship with FOOD. We just buy it, all packaged, coming from anywhere
on the planet, in multinational supermarket chains.

We all live so far from our hunting/gathering ancestors, who had to pay attention to the ripening
of fruit and grains and the availability of food according to seasons and circumstances.
At Eternity Springs we can offer a small insight into grazing!
