Tuairisgeul

Beachdan air Tablehurst agus Plaw Hatch, Sussex, Sasainn. Dealbh le Will Heap. 31 Faoilleach, 2011. 128 duilleag.

Stèidhichte air sreath de ochd òraidean le Rudolf Steiner ann an 1924, tha gluasad airson àiteachas bith-dhinimigeach an-diugh a’ toirt a-steach ceudan de thuathanasan agus milleanan de luchd-cleachdaidh air feadh an t-saoghail. Chaidh mòran a sgrìobhadh mu na seallaidhean sònraichte a th’ aig dòighean bith-dhinimigeach airson tuathanachas, beathachadh, saoghal nàdair, agus a’ chosmos nas fharsainge. Ach ciamar a tha e ag obair ann an cleachdadh? Cò ris a tha e coltach tuathanas a ruith stèidhichte air na prionnsapalan aige?

’S e iomairt cho-obrachail a th’ ann an tuathanasan Tablehurst agus Plaw Hatch ann an Sasainn anns a bheil pàirt chudromach aig a’ choimhearsnachd ionadail. Mar iomairtean malairteach soirbheachail le cinneasachadh mòr, tha cliù a’ sìor fhàs aca airson sàr-mhathas an cuid thoraidhean. Tro agallamhan, beachdan, agus dusanan de dhealbhan làn-dathte, tha Biodynamics in Practice a’ tabhann turas treòraichte de na tuathanasan bho shealladh neach-tadhail co-fhaireachail. Tha e a’ sealltainn mar a tha tuathanasan bith-dhinimigeach ag obair, mar a tha iad eadar-dhealaichte bho thuathanasan àbhaisteach agus organach, agus carson a tha an diofar sin cudromach. Ann an geàrr-chunntasan goirid is ruigsinneach, tha an leabhar a’ coimhead air mòran thaobhan de bheatha tuathanais, a’ gabhail a-steach àrach is sunnd bheathaichean—crodh, caoraich, mucan is cearcan—fàs bàrr, dèanamh bainne is càise, a bharrachd air cumail bheach agus cùram dhaoine le feumalachdan sònraichte. Tha e cuideachd a’ toirt a-steach bith-dhinimigeach fhèin, le eachdraidh ghoirid air an dà thuathanas.

Bidh daoine tric a’ faicinn thuathanasan dìreach mar fhactaraidhean cinneasachaidh bìdh; ge-tà, tha an leabhar seo a’ sealltainn gum faod iad a bhith tòrr a bharrachd, a’ tabhann puingean fòcas a tha a’ cumail suas gu spioradail airson aonachd agus com-pàirteachadh coimhearsnachd.
