Yoga Permaculture Total Ecology
A “YOGA-PERMACULTURE” FARM ,
WHY ?
-------------------
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
Bases of YOGA: YAMAS NIYAMAS, so close to permaculture

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