Livingston, MT, March 2012 : The Hearts center's Meru University will offer a four-week online webinar course, "The Power of Permaculture for Personal and Planetary Change" The course will be divided into 4 classes, each representing an aspect of the elemental kingdom—fire, air, water and earth—in that order.

The first class will emphasize the element of fire with practical examples of how the fire of the sun can be captured to support a splendid garden in a harsh environment.

The second class will give us a deeper understanding of the role of the air elementals, sylphs and the constant work that they do for the planet.

Class three will consider examples of water management strategies inspired by the elementals, which have resulted in sustainable, harmonious gardens.

The final class will focus on the principles of Permaculture as they relate to the soil under our feet, the living veneer of our verdant sphere. Examples will be given of the innovative ways gardeners have worked directly with the nature spirits in developing soil fertility without the use of chemicals and poisons.

He reminds us that we each sit under our own "vine and fig tree", and are each messengers in our own right, offering of our particular expression of the Godhead.
