Planting Seeds of Happiness
Gypsy Seeds is envisioning a healthy and happy lifestyle for people and their communities.
We are hoping to inspire people to reconnect with the gifts of nature by sharing the philosophies of yoga, essential oils, and permaculture.
Gypsy Seeds evolved from a smaller project in which I created a calendar celebrating twelve months of kale. This project strove to highlight the importance of the surging local food movement, and more specifically to inspire others to be more conscious of the foods we all consume. This small project opened my eyes to the necessity for a more holistic and comprehensive awareness of health, both physical and spiritual. Thus, Gypsy Seeds strives to promote a more meditative lifestyle, a lifestyle defined by an acute awareness of where our food comes from and how that food affects us as human beings. Also, we wish to intertwine the spirit of the local food movement with yogic principles to show that both are necessary in order to form a holistically healthy individual.
Yet, holistic health does not cease with an awareness of the self; therefore, Gypsy Seeds wishes to reconnect the self back to the natural world, for it is our home and our life source. The same nutrients that course through the veins of a leaf or the roots of a tree courses through our veins. We would be remiss then not to emphasize environmental conservation, because in conserving our natural environment we conserve ourselves. By educating society on the methods of permaculture, we dig our roots back into the earth where our lives began, and in so doing we facilitate new growth in ourselves and those around us.
