    -------------------

     

    YOGA as INNER ECOLOGY

    thanks to the Yoga techniques we meet again

    with our true nature

     

     

    PERMACULTURE as EXTERNAL ECOLOGY

    thanks to the Permaculture techniques we meet again

    with the True Nature

     

    Thus balanced, our life unfolds in the world, in harmony with others and ourselves

     

    ----------------------------------------

     

    Bases of PERMACULTURE: ETHICS, so close to yoga

     

    à take care of EARTH which supports all life, without her no life

    à take care of HUMANS, creatures which have the most impact on Earth

    à distribute the SURPLUS: bring back balance between north-south, east-west about money, food, education, health, spirituality ...

    à control GROWTH, stop blind growth, look carefully at our true needs

    PACT of  YUNUS EMRE FARM

     

    TO PROTECT the fields and living beings

    TO ENHANCE their condition

    TO SHARE joy wealth knowledge

    TO TRANSMIT knowledge

     

     

    Like this in Yunus Emre Farm we live

    Yoga as inner ecology Permaculture as outer ecology

    with our Pact in harmony with Nature

     

    --------------------------------------

     

    YOGA or INNER ECOLOGY

     

    Yoga with a huge universe of practices like asanas (postures),

    meditations (like yoga nidra, antar mouna, ajapa japa), pranayama

    (breathing practices) or also karma yoga ( yoga of action)

    bhakti yoga (yoga of Love) helps us to come into contact

    with our inner nature, our true self,

    thus brings back harmony

    inside us.

     

    In Yunus Emre Farm, the yogic life style, the practices that we offer

    allow us to consciously live the Yamas and Niyamas,

    to consciously realise our place in the Universe,

    and enable us to live fully as a responsible and conscious human being.

     

    Like the petals of an unsuspected flower

    our life will unfold and flower in the wonderful way,

    We discover our full potential

    which will develop for the good of all and of ourselves.

     

     

    PERMACULTURE or EXTERNAL ECOLOGY

     

    Permaculture could be seen as a thousands of techniques

    aiming to build a garden of abondance and peace with Earth.

     

    A garden of abundance because working WITH Nature and not against her,

    Nature become able again to give her infinite treasures.

     

    A garden of peace because permaculture is based on true and equal

    ethics which place Human beings face to face with

    his duty towards his brothers and sisters, towards the Planet.

     

     

    Like this Permaculture is much more than a lots of techniques,

    rather it is a complete VISION of what can become our Planet

    in harmony at all level and in a self-sustainable way.

    The tools of permaculture will allow us to realise this vision.

     

    ------------------------------------

     

    Ultimately, if we consider Ecology as a quest, a search for harmony

    between human beings and the whole Universe at all levels,

    physical, mental, spiritual, and with all elements,

    mineral, vegetal, animal,

    then we can say that

     

     

    YOGA and PERMACULTURE

    bring

    TOTAL ECOLOGY
