So after a little break I am back to my blogs. Life has been so crazy busy with clients and Aloka. Talking of Aloka they had a fantastic open night party last Thursday. The place was rammed with over 150 people, lots of press and some key Aura-Soma staff from Lincolnshire.  For me it was great to be able to catch up with them in as I only ever see them when I am up there on a course.

The music played and the free organic wine and fizz flowed all night. You don't often see that at Brighton parties. Everyone was blown away by the place and the fantastic food that was laid on all night. I have to say I don't think I was the only one with a sore head the next day.

I have been busy as ever with my clients but I have also been doing some writing for Aura-Soma on biodynamics and Shire Farm their 600 acre biodynamic farm they have up near Tetford in Lincolnshire. I have spent over a week immersed in the world of biodynamics and have been eating, sleeping and dreaming about manure, composting and flowforms! Flowforms are these amazing devises that mix the biodynamic preparations with water that are then sprayed on the land to improve the soils quality and fertility. If the soil is healthy and fertile then the vegetables or crops grown upon it are bound to be improved. Within biodynamics the soil is at the very heart of everything. Originally I just thought flowforms were lovely garden water features as the only one I had ever seen was up at Dev-Aura where I train in their beautiful garden.

created by John Wilkes an English sculptor who developed a cascade of bowls which when water flows through is similar to the action of a mountain stream with vortices (plug holes!) flowing down the cascade and creating the pulse as it does so. This is a perfect way to mix large quantities of the biodynamic preparations whilst energising them.

So there you have it, that's what a flowform is. Charlie Dimmock eat your heart out! I'll blog more about the farm soon. It's so gorgeous out there, they grown many of the herbs and flowers that are used in the bottles including lavender, marigolds and sunflowers whose seeds they press for oil. You can see the farm here in the summer, it's gorgeous.

Other news regarding Aura-Soma is the arrival of the new bottle number 107 Tzaphkiel. I will write more about this new bottle in the coming days but for now you can take a look at it. It's irridecent turquoise over deep magenta. It would be interesting to hear what those of you who know about Aura-Soma think about it and feel it's meaning may be.
