Organic Growth: Gallery & Competition Here, you can display your creations. Your creative expression in whatever format you consider appropriate for you. We are developing an online gallery, a gallery of art, literature, poetry, video, fashion, design, sculpture, music and more. So, we are looking for your art or expression, themed upon the world today and the options we have for adapting both our own behaviour and adjusting circumstances around us to lighten the load we place upon our home planet. I am proposing to create an annual competition called 'Love Thy Organic', which is a theme around which your work should be based. We too are contributing to the gallery with our functional eco sculptures, which will be hosted as part of The Organic Growth pages as RE-EXIST, a themed collection of items, 'Re-Creating the Existing', and I am hoping to both encourage fellow artists to contribute to the site and also to be a platform which will enable green and eco-artists to show and compare their work. We will not be acting as editors of your creations, but wish to help you promote your message, be it the message of cleaning rivers, air travel, ethical banking and any other ethical and ecological issues. Whilst the main theme is 'Love thy Organic', other themes are also considered appropriate, 'The Law of Deflection', 'Spiritual Organic', and 'Re-Creating the Existing', which are all inspired by our work here at The Organic Home. I am preparing and annual competition, based upon these ideas, with a prize of £1000.00 for the winner. To enable this, I am asking you, the creative, to forward your work to me in any category, and I can then build the online gallery to display and promote your eco-art, and eventually have your work judged, and hopefully sold! Art has the power to provoke, stimulate, excite and frighten - as well as the ability to sooth, calm and amuse, so - use the power of your chosen medium to make your point… o

We live in an age of turmoil, tension and transition. The old is collapsing and the new is struggling to be born, we find ourselves adrift on a turbulent ocean with no established landmarks between the vanished past and an indeterminate future. Ayurveda can be a good source of healing and inspiration. The image of Ayurveda has been distorted by glossy pictures of seaside resorts, oil being poured over a forehead, beautiful hands massaging a back, healthy looking vegetarian dishes and colourful Indian herbal spices. All of the above are to be found as posters and brochures as Ayurvedic supplements in health shops and on the internet. Is that Ayurveda though? Is that all that this oldest living healing science means? These images present a very limited view of Ayurveda as a short detox holiday. Very few people realize just how incomplete this picture is. Ayurveda is a highly specialized and scientific form of ancient medicine. It is about various aspects such as healing, energy, kindness, compassion, cooking, music, beauty and colours. In India a VAIDYA (Ayurvedic doctor) must complete a six-year university degree. All Ayurvedic graduates are trained in both Ayurvedic and medical hospitals. A 3-year post-graduate MD degree is offered to the most successful graduates. Is Ayurveda a religious philosophy? No, definitely not! Ayurveda is a product of experiences of Vedic civilisations that occurred thousands of years ago. Ayurveda was created for human well being and Vedic philosophy and is not based on any specific text or on the teachings of any particular person or any specific point in time. There is a pluralism which is built into the very structure of Vedic thought, because it is based on the collective wisdom of seers and sages referred to as 'Rishis'. The great utterances of the Rishis have come down to us over many thousands of years and remain a source of great inspiration. An Ayurvedic doctor
