Un voyage au cœur de l’agriculture naturelle et

de la philosophie du « ne rien faire »

Fin mars, nous avons eu l’immense plaisir d’accueillir Kutluhan Özdemir au Mas Dame de la Rose pour un atelier d’Agriculture Naturelle profondément transformateur. Cette expérience ne se limitait pas à l’apprentissage de techniques agricoles, elle nous invitait à désapprendre, à observer, à nous reconnecter aux rythmes du vivant.

Qu’est-ce que l’Agriculture Naturelle ?

L’agriculture naturelle consiste à collaborer avec la nature, plutôt que de chercher à la maîtriser. Inspirée par la philosophie de Masanobu Fukuoka, elle repose sur quelques principes simples et puissants :

• Pas d’engrais chimiques ni de pesticides
• Pas de labour de la terre
• Respect et valorisation de la biodiversité
• Intervention humaine minimale

Cette méthode encourage la régénération des sols et permet à la nature d’exprimer son abondance innée.

Le paradoxe du « ne rien faire »

Ce qui frappe dans cette philosophie, c’est ce fameux « ne rien faire ». Au premier abord, on pourrait penser qu’il s’agit simplement de ne pas labourer, ne pas désherber, ne pas fertiliser, même pas avec des produits bio.

Mais, comme l’a transmis Fukuoka, « ne rien faire » ne signifie pas négligence. Il s’agit d’un retrait conscient, une observation patiente, une écoute de ce dont la terre a véritablement besoin.

Les images de notre atelier témoignent de ces gestes simples et doux : superposer du fumier de cheval et un mélange de paille sur la terre pour restaurer la fertilité, observer les plantes spontanées pour lire la qualité du sol, et découvrir que les « mauvaises herbes » sont peut-être nos alliées.

Un nouveau regard sur la croissance

Prenons notre champ d’ail, par exemple. En agriculture conventionnelle, on aurait arraché les herbes autour pour « laisser de la place ». Mais Kutluhan nous a invités à faire confiance au sol. C’est le sol qui décide ce qui peut pousser, selon son état de fertilité.

En arrachant des herbes, on perturbe le réseau de mycélium et les micro-organismes essentiels à la vie du sol. Ainsi, la patience et la confiance remplacent les interventions agressives.

Semer la vie

L’un des moments les plus joyeux de l’atelier fut la fabrication de boules de graines : un geste simple et porteur de sagesse. Façonnées à la main à partir d’argile et de semences d’engrais verts, ces boules permettent aux graines de germer au bon moment, protégées par l’argile. Un « faire » tout en douceur et en grâce.

Une compréhension plus profonde

À travers les enseignements de Kutluhan, nous avons ressenti autrement l’impact de nos actions humaines. Il nous a parlé des arbres et de leur stress lorsque nous coupons leurs branches pour produire davantage. Nous avons ressenti leur souffrance.

Beaucoup d’entre nous ont éprouvé du chagrin face à l’ignorance de nos choix passés.

Apprendre aussi à faire des pauses et à observer.

Cheminer ensemble

L’agriculture naturelle est bien plus qu’une méthode. C’est un acte d’amour — plus de graines, plus de matière organique, plus de confiance, plus d’abandon à la sagesse de la nature.

C’est une aventure de libération, une pratique d’écoute profonde, un lâcher-prise de notre volonté individuelle, pour accueillir un « faire » qui émerge en nous, en harmonie avec la Terre et tout le vivant.

au plaisir de vous revoir très vite pour continuer cette belle aventure ensemble

A Journey into Natural Farming and the “Do-Nothing” Philosophy

At the end of March, we had the immense pleasure of welcoming Kutluhan Özdemir to Mas Dame de la Rose for a transformative Natural Farming Workshop. This experience was not just about farming techniques; it was an invitation to unlearn, to observe, and to reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

What is Natural Farming?

Natural farming is a way of working with nature rather than trying to control it. Based on the philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka, it follows simple yet profound principles:

• No chemical fertilisers or pesticides
• No tilling of the soil
• Respect for and enhancement of biodiversity
• Minimal human intervention

This approach fosters soil regeneration and allows nature to express its inherent abundance.

The “Do-Nothing” Paradox

One of the most striking aspects of natural farming is the “do-nothing” philosophy. At first glance, this seems to mean refraining from ploughing, weeding, fertilising—even avoiding organic treatments.

Yet, as Fukuoka taught, “do-nothing” is not the same as neglect. It is about stepping back to truly understand what nature needs, rather than imposing our will upon it.

Our workshop images tell a story of gentle intervention: layering horse manure and straw to restore fertility, understanding how soil health is reflected in the plants that naturally grow, and learning that so-called “weeds” may actually be allies.

A New Perspective on Growth

Take our garlic field, for example. Traditionally, we might remove surrounding herbs to give the garlic more space. Yet Kutluhan invited us to trust the soil—to recognize that its fertility dictates what can thrive.

Removing plants disrupts the underground mycelium network, the lifeblood of a healthy ecosystem. Patience, observation, and trust become the new tools of cultivation.

Sowing Seeds, Spreading Life

One of the most joyful moments of the workshop was making seed balls—a simple yet powerful practice. Rolling clay, mixing in green manure seeds, shaping the balls with our hands. This small act carries deep wisdom: the clay protects the seeds, giving them time to grow when the conditions are right. Less force, more flow.

A Deeper Understanding

Through Kutluhan’s teachings, we felt the impact of human intervention in a new way. He spoke of trees and how they react when their branches are cut to increase yield. We could suddenly feel their stress. Many of us experienced a deep sense of responsibility for past choices made in ignorance.

Learning also to pause and observe.

The Path Forward

Natural farming is more than a set of techniques. It is an act of love—more seeds, more organic material, more trust, more surrender to nature’s wisdom.

It is an adventure of liberation, a practice of deep listening, a letting of our personal will and control into a surrendering to a “doing” which emerges through us in coherence with the earth and all life on it.

Looking forward to meet you soon in this fascinating ongoing adventure,

Kristin, Corinne and Veerle

How can we expand our awareness to reach beyond our day-to-day reality and access a huge hidden potential which has always existed outside time and space? 

It is fascinating to witness what is happening to us and around us in this moment. The corona outbreak unfolds globally and affects countries and people without any exclusion. This creates a web of fear that is fed by many of us and related to a whole variety of reasons. These reasons are the effects of the infection and the effects of all the measures taken worldwide in attempts to limit the spreading of the virus.

What does the infection mean for you personally, for your loved ones, for the ones you rely on for your daily needs? Are you afraid to die through the infection?

How is your life affected by the measures around the outbreak? How much authority do you give to fear? Fear has no power or effect on itself, it receives power over us by the energy we individually and collectively give it.

In this series of articles, we meet the fear and the Corona Virus and all that comes with it by playing the ChancesToChange board game. We even dare to assume that the Corona virus might be our chance to change!

Let’s start with summarizing.

What did we discover so far

The first article gently starts by inviting us to centre and to listen to our body and its innate wisdom. We realise that our body might welcome the corona virus as a long-awaited guest. The article brings us the awareness of unity consciousness and of the fact that the Corona virus is a form of consciousness belonging to unity consciousness just like you and me. Unity consciousness is an aspect of being human and points to the fact that all our thoughts, feelings and actions affect all the consciousness around us and that we in turn are affected by all the consciousness in the universe.

The second article brings us in direct contact with the Corona virus as it speaks to us through the collective field. Many of us would name that channeling. We will further elaborate on this in this article. The Corona virus shares some pretty amazing content around who and what it is and how it serves the evolutionary purpose of all life! The blue card of movement reminds us how all our choices affect the health of the earth and all life on it. How there is freedom when choices are not based on fear. The second article completed with a great deal of interesting and intriguing questions and there are more questions arising.

How can we have new experiences related with the outbreak of the Corona virus not based upon the imprints in the collective field but on the essence of the collective field? How can we live our lives to the fullest and bring in as much of our totality of our self as possible?

What are the major players in the ChancesToChange board game that enable us to accomplish this.

The major players in the board game

As the image of one of the yellow cards of the game shows, we all have some major players in our life.

Lets have a look at all the main players. Our body (1) provides us as a human being with processes and symptoms related to our experience of what is happening to us and around us. This is absolutely true in this moment. Our body is our most intimate partner in this adventure of being human. Our body partners with our soul (2). Our soul converts all our experiences into consciousness and is the bridge between us as spiritual beings and us as human beings. Our soul has a script of those experiences it wants to have in this lifetime. Maybe the Corona virus outbreak is part of our soul’s script! Our experiences happen in the collective field (3), another major player. The collective field is our playground. We can endlessly repeat our old stories, or we can make changes and write new stories. It is the archive of humanity. The next player is our mind (4) which arises through an interaction between the energy of the collective field, our body and our soul. Our mind processes all the information and energy that comes to us. Our mind is an amazing processor and if disconnected from our body and soul it can become quite a challenge to live our life to the fullest and cope with what is happening to us and around us. Our mind informs another player which is our personality (5), made up of aspects and facets which are constantly changing through experiencing. The Corona virus outbreak strongly affects the roles, titles and identifications our personality has gathered throughout our lives. 

The last major player is silence (6). Silence is a place of rest and a moment of connection with our inner self. Each time we listen in the game we bring our awareness to our centre. We listen from within to source, to our body, to the collective field. The Corona virus outbreak brings a great deal of silence back into our lives.

Are you ready to continue? Remember how the virus can only give its offerings outside time and space. What is outside time and space? How do we get there? We move on to the next section, to the possibility to acknowledge the existence of dimensions and to even travel through them.

The existence of different dimensions

Let’s first see what a dimension is. A dimension is a means of organizing different planes of existence according to their vibratory rate. Each dimension has certain sets of laws and principles that are specific to the frequency of that dimension. A dimension with a higher frequency embraces and permeates the dimensions with lower frequencies. You see the earth-bound dimensions on the picture. We are particularly interested in the third and fourth dimension. The third dimension is our day-to-day reality with its definitions of time and space. It is a fascinating plane of existence where we can organise our self and live together. It does obey the laws of Newton. The fourth dimension follows the sets of laws and principles of quantum mechanics and is a portal into the collective field (3). The fourth dimension embraces and permeates the third dimension. You see how our body (1) and the earth easily connect with all four dimensions and you also can see how our inner channel (2) can function as a highway between the different dimensions. This inner channel is our intention, the channel grounds our soul into the earth and keeps our soul connected to the spiritual world to carry forth its purpose.

It is important to expand our self into an awareness of the fourth dimension and still function in the third dimension in our day-to-day reality. By playing we easily access the higher vibrational level of the fourth dimension. This happens each time one of the players throws a purple, a yellow or a red dot. These are the turns where we listen. In the listening we centre and align with our body and soul. We bridge from our day-to-day awareness of our mind and connect it with our body and soul. Automatically we ground into the earth and are connected with the spiritual world. We discovered over the past years that we strengthen our inner channel each time we play with the ChancesToChange board game and we are able to reach a great deal more information than we normally did. This can happen through words, images, sensations or sounds or a combination of any of these.

Conclusion

We made a fascinating journey with you playing the ChancesToChange board game while the Corona virus outbreak is unfolding. The major players in the board game are of course also the major players in each of our lives. We realise that within the reality of the third dimension we have limited options to meet the corona virus. How can we welcome the corona virus as a long-awaited guest in our bodies and receive the offerings of our guest in a field that exists beyond time and space. I realise that this is double scary. Meeting the corona virus and traveling out of your known day-to-day reality. And we are invited to expand our awareness out of the comfort zone of the third dimension into the quantum field of the fourth dimension while we still fully embrace the third dimension. As if the corona virus points to a vast potential which resides out of space and time and is always present. We collectively forgot about this vast potential.

We start an “Awareness Marathon” with the ChancesToChange board game. You are all welcome whether you have played with the game or not yet, whether you have a ChancesToChange board game or not. We will explore our inner channel and learn how to expand into the magical quantum field of the fourth dimension.

All that is happening to us and around us is an amazing story, it is a fascinating journey. It is the end of time as we know it and it is a new beginning. The Corona virus is a treat in many ways, already visible and not yet visible. How the outbreak will unfold is partly known and mostly unknown.

The flow of consciousness organises itself in a magnificent structure to serve you as a human being and offer you the possibility to experience and integrate.

You embark on this fascinating exploration with a card from the ChancesToChange board game. This card describes the triad between soul, biological family and your spiritual family.

Your soul is an immortal aspect of you. Your soul is a record of all your feelings, emotions and actions throughout your entire life and all of your other life experiences. Your biological family is your parents, their parents, your ancestors and any children you may have. The spiritual world is part of the unseen reality of life through the universe and the galaxies. It is inhabited by spirits that have different gradations of light and darkness just as it is on earth.

This article sits with the important and challenging question: How can you weave those three aspects throughout your life as a human being?

To help your understanding of this fascinating question, the content of this article has been set out in four sections:

• What do you need to experience life as a human being?
• How does the playground look?
• A close-up of the earth-bound dimensions.
• A close-up of the 4^th

What do you need to experience life as a human being?

You definitely need a planet to live on and a body to partner with. You also need a playground with boundaries in space and time to allow you to experience and fully live your life as a human being.

The starting point of all this is the flow of consciousness organizing itself into a structure that enables you, as a spiritual being, to experience what it is to be human.

Consciousness is the fabric of everything. Out of consciousness all else is created and everything returns to the source of consciousness.

Consciousness begins to create the intelligent design of the earth and all life on it. As you have heard in many creation myths or origin stories which can be found in religions and indigenous cultures. Our bodies are an integral part of this intelligent design of the earth. All that consciousness creates also has its own part of consciousness contained in it. This enables a further unfolding of the evolutionary purpose after its creation.

How does the playground look?

A dimension is a means of organizing different planes of existence according to their vibratory rate. Each dimension has certain sets of laws and principles that are specific to the frequency of that dimension. Inhabitants of each dimension have a different perception of what happens in the universe and in other dimensions.

As you can see above some dimensions are more related to the earth and some dimensions are more related to the spiritual spheres.

In order for us to have the fullness of our experience as a human being we ideally need access to as many dimensions as possible and to be able to travel between them. This is what it means to be and become a multidimensional being.

A close up of the earth-bound dimensions.

The picture offers you a closer look at the earth-bound dimensions:

• The first dimension (1D) is the deep core of the earth.
• The second dimension (2D) is covering the core and extending to the surface of the earth.
• The third dimension (3D) extends from the surface of earth. The 3D reality is bound through time and space. This is what gives you your day-to-day life which you perceive through your five senses.
• The fourth dimension (4D) is also an earth-bound dimension. It is your portal into the collective consciousness and offers access to levels which have a higher vibration.

A close-up of the fourth dimension.

If you look at the image, you can discern a barrier (a yellow line) between the existing dimensions of the spiritual world and the dimensions related to the earth. It is not really a barrier, the fourth dimension functions as a diaphragm.

Energy beams (the dark blue arrows) hit the outer border and fracture into two different beams (the light blue arrows). One beam returns to the spiritual dimensions and one enters 4D. This enables a natural protection of the earth from the powerful energy beams of the higher dimensions, which are partly reflected back to their origin.

As the beam (light blue arrow) continues its journey through the levels of 4D and arrives at the interface with 3D, the beam fractures again into two beams (the orange arrows). These beams travel back into 4D and into 3D respectively. Along their journey they fracture into opposites (the yellow small arrows). Opposites spread through 3D and 4D, creating duality.

Conclusion

Let’s summarise.

We have earth and all life on earth. We have bodies belonging to this intelligent design and we have a playground with duality as a fascinating ingredient.

We have a biological family that belongs to the earth-bound dimensions and our ancestors who spread their lineage out into the spiritual realms.

Our spiritual family inhabits different spheres in the spiritual dimensions and also in the earth-bound dimensions.

It seems as if the dimensions are separate from each other although in fact they permeate each other.

This article offers you a glimpse of the fascinating structure which consciousness creates for you as a spiritual being to play, experiment and experience. The ChancesToChange board game is an exquisite guide on your path and can become a bridge for you to visit different dimensions.

The next article brings you into contact with your inner highway – always available to support you on your multidimensional journey.

Dear ones stay well until we meet again,
