Biofertilisers (fermented brews)

What they are

Biofertilisers are liquid fertiliser with a high range of added minerals which are in balance and have a  stable energy as result of an anaerobic process (fermentation) based in a biological inoculant such as fresh cow manure. Specific microorganisms or minerals can be introduced throughout the fermentation process.  In this way we can adjust the brew to meet the farmer´s requirements to balance out specific deficiencies.

 

This product mimics the processes taken millions years ago by microbes before Oxygen become available in the atmosphere; this means that the efficiency of the fermentation is lower than Aerated processes; the efficiency is to produce around 2 molecules of ATP from each molecule of sugar through the process.

 

The source of energy for the fermentation is from the process in the product by itself ( i.e. the energy derived from the microbes metabolising themselves ), without adding any energy in the form of oxygen into the brew through the process; this feature make a stable product to use as a long term, giving the chance to store it as well. In this sense it is different from aerated teas that develop more rapidly, but are less stable and not possible to store. 


What are biofertilisers for?

These brews are used mostly to feed, re-cover and re-activate soil biology, increase plant fertility and animal health, also encouraging crop protection against pests and diseases.

How do they work?

At the end of the process the product content will contain a high range of available minerals (macro and micronutrients, trace elements ...), Organic Acids, proteins, vitamins, enzymes, carbohydrates, amino acids and different microbiology that will work in symbiosis with the natural processes in the plant and soil, developing and improving a nutritional and biological balance and a natural defence mechanism.

  • Eco Shamanism Two Year Practitioner Training

    October 2020 - July 2022

    'Becoming one with our Earth'

    Starts 8 - 11 October 2020 (scroll down for more dates)

    A series of eight modules studying the contemporary areas of shamanism with an emphasis on eco reciprocity.

    You will be embarking on your own personal eco shamanic journey within a community of like minded beings (and the more than human world) whilst also learning all the major shamanic healing techniques.  An Eco Shamanic Practitioner Certificate is awarded once all work has been completed and is dependent on attendance and competence. However this is not compulsory and the course can be taken without the 'Certificate' element.

    Areas covered are (but not limited to) as follows:-

    Perception, awareness and sensation - diving into ourselves as Earth - a marriage of senses and spirit (the sixth sense).

    Spirits of land and nature, space and place (genius loci); accessing places and spaces of power; connecting to the more than human world (the anima mundi in all it's earthly forms).

    Shamanic Counselling - helping humans help themselves via spirit: teaching humans the shamanic journey.

    Vision quest - understanding the process of the journey within and without. Calling for a vision. Working with labyrinths.

    The elements - a deep look at fire, earth, air and water (and the seasonal cycles of Sun and Moon).

    Energetic medicine techniques and the recovery of power - identifying and remedying misplaced energy and power in humans and the more than human world.

    Soul retrieval - the return of spirit essences for a more fulfilled life, for you and others, and the more than human world.

    Eco Mapping - middle world nature/spirit healing for humans using perception and perspective. Oracular work focussing on divination.

    Plant and animal spirits, guides, teachers and friends.

    Sustainable living practises - you are what you eat, travelling lightly, future thinking, remote viewing.

    The shamans horse (drum, rattle, sistrum and bell) - healing circles and the instrument’s voice or song / the nature of sound.

    Psychopomp (death and dying) - assisting the dying and dead to find their true place of rest.

    The beginning and end game - the nature of time, connection to source, authenticity, the ego and icons.
