Self-Nurturing Sustainability Project

Inside Greenhouse

So, its said that we have four bodies: physical, mental, emotional and spiritiual. Our physical depends on nature to survive. Our physical body has basic needs (air, water, food, etc) but for this page we will focus on food. Most of the food sold, bought and consumed is not food, not part of nature and not assisting in our survival. Our physical body knows what it needs and it alerts us to it. Do we know how to listen?

Hekalu Ya UKUUNKI  Self-Sustainability Project
