Gallery Exhibition: Co-Creations On The Farm With The Vegetal Landscape
This gallery exhibition is presented by Plant Pioneers and collaborators on November 9th from 7-9pm with drink and refreshments served. The exhibition highlights the group’s work with the vegetal landscape in the upstate New York farming community of Delaware County, where artist explores the co-creative process between Plant and Farmer.
The project’s approach applies techniques that have yet to be tapped into on the farm, choosing to look beyond the human-centered farming value system towards one that is mutual, emerging, evolving and co-creative. One that makes less of an extractive and over-use, to one that gives a say to inter-species relationships. Plant Pioneers inquire with the vegetals themselves. Looking at how we all might be more regenerative in our practices, less destructive and more relational.
Would they, Plants, have preferences? Do they, Plants, already orchestrate farming activities? If so, how? Do they have impressions that offer guidance to farmer, gardener, Plant nursery person, arborists or even township road crew? This project asks, how might we acknowledge a new Plant-Farmer partnership in ways that are inter-relational, cyclical and inter-regenerative.
The exhibition is open to the public for one week with the artist on these dates:
Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 10 am – 2 pm
Friday, Nov. 15 from 11 am – 2 pm
Saturday, Nov. 16 from 12 – 3 pm
Marguerite - As artist and co-scriber of this project, my experience with Plant intelligence unabashedly takes a leap into the relational process with Lady Cannabis and other farmed Plants. It is here their impressions are key players in this human focused landscape. With queries that may ask: Are they happy? Do they like what’s going on? Do they benefit from the farms activities? How? Answers to these unknowns may be demonstrated with below creative means with Plants forging the way.
Workshop: Co-Creations On The Farm With The Vegetal Landscape
This workshop will demonstrate the practices and techniques applied on the farm, with Lady Cannabis, farmer and farm partners.
During the workshop we will introduce key practices that wake up our innate intelligence so we can connect with Nature on deeper levels. Practices and techniques are traditionally tied to ancient systems and evidenced based. This enables us to interpret felt impressions from surrounding land systems. Basically, felt impressions are intermediary messages received from the Natural landscape by using one or more of the Objects of Resonance, as well as our somatic proprioceptive sensory system which detects subtle Plant, Tree or Land frequencies. This is commonly called Plant and Nature communication. Whether new to this or not, enjoy learning perceptual diversity skills or enhancing those already present.
Why is this important?
Learned techniques become a way of life with a world view of Plants and Nature are part of our inter-relational life. Where they not only teach us how to be good ancestors but we also care for them in ways they would really like to be treated. Where domination and extractive culture is ushered out of our memory. Where having deep Nature relationships deconditions and decolonizes human privilege and exceptionalism. Where Plant Blindness no longer exists.
The Four Creative Mediums:
Feeling-into felt impressions: this is the practice of Systemic Constellations developed by Dr. Bert Hellinger. As well as 3,2,1 Centering Technique developed by Jose’ Silva. We then apply these two strategies for efficient access of Plant impressions and responses.
Dowsing: a forked tool or in this case, a rod that is usually used to locate water, metals, electrical lines, etc. In this case here, it is applied to register Plant impressions and responses. Resource: American Dowsing Society
Crystallography: water will be exposed to Plant responses to the farmers’ calling question. Water has been also been found to respond to and imprint itself with, detailed crystalized patterns from its surrounding landscape and when frozen, forms specialized patterns from the surrounding landscape and in this case, it will be the Plants response. The detailed patterns are called Hydroglyph’s. Resource: Dr. Masaru Emoto and Dr. Veda Austin.
Sonic Plant Impressions: a specialized synthesizer, Music of the Plants will be attached to the Plants leaf allowing them to produce sounds in reference to the calling question. Resource: Music of the Plants, Damanhur.

Cultivating Cognitive Agility with Our Plant & Tree Allies
Join Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower and Carolyn Clark Pierson for an interactive workshop that deepens our relationships with plant, tree and Nature allies and cultivates the sacred wild essence within us.
During our 3 days together, we’ll share fun and consciousness-expanding activities designed to deepen our attention, empathy and emotional reciprocity and to hone our listening and observational skills.

Restore a semblance of dignity for an Earth-centered future
Remember the wisdom of our ancient selves
Nourish reciprocal, interdependent relationships with the-Nature-that-surrounds-us, the Sacred in all things, the invisible ones, and each other

SEVA Foundation: Day Immersion: Cultivating a Cognitive Agility with Plant & Tree Allies
Join Marguerite for a class where we begin to resurrect our co-creative indigenous forces. Shifting from an indoctrinated world view of dominion and separation, to one that unlocks our ecological knowledge. Learn skills to better understand the Invisible Ones, plant and tree communication that work towards opening up ones Second Sight, sharpen Effective-Sensory Projection (ESP), Psychometry, Remote Viewing and Reading the Sacred Landscape.
Manifest New Earth Living Skills for a better future with our Mother Earth and Nature. Marguerite says, “Believe me, we are cohorts with our vast living landscape. Until we accept that we are entangled with this living “viewshed”... we are all this viewshed ... our ego-cognitive dissonance will continue to quicken the pace of this most unfortunate trajectory we're on. In my heart, I know this training ignites the skills that it takes, that have always been our birthright to make a difference for our Earth.” Join Marguerite for profound transition.

The mountains, I become part of it...
The herbs, the fir tree, I become part of it.
The morning mists, the clouds, the gathering waters,
I become part of it.
The wilderness, the dew drops, the pollen...
I become part of it.
