She sees gardening as a healthful activity families can do together and a great outlet for youthful energies.
When learned that the average morsel of food travels 1300 miles to get to our tables and our supply of gas and oil is being depleted- she created a way to build a local organic food supply, right in her yard. She started a community garden. "All I ever wanted out of life was to be able to go outside and pick my dinner! "she says.
She was involved in the Green Revolution of the 60's, when she and her family moved to the country to live off the land as much as possible. They gardened, raised goats and lived without electricity. The children all drank goat's milk after they were weaned, and there was no TV. Those years were the best years of her life.
Even before that, she has gardened wherever she has lived, since she was a small child. She has woven a few pictures of her own childhood into the story to show how long she has held this vision.
In 1992, she formed a nonprofit organization, JOY OF LEARNING CENTERS (www.joyoflearningcenters.org) to teach people about the relationship of good food to human health. In 2004, after attending several Bioneers Conferences (www.Bioneers.org). Marika decided to create an project to bring local sources of organic, healthful food to people in her county. She offers information on how to create similar projects to groups world wide.
The project is named The Prosperity Project, because our real wealth is the land and the food supply. The Cree Indians have prophesied, "You will learn you can't eat money."
She is the mother of four children, and the grandmother of eight! She claims, "I have learned more from my children, my goats and my gardens than I did in school!" She is a talented Polarity Practitioner, as well as a writer. She's a member of the AMERICAN POLARITY THERAPY ASSOCIATION, GRASSROOTS LEADERSHIP NETWORK, AMGAT (Asociacion Maya Guatemalteca Abaj Takalik), CHURCH OF RELIGIOUS SCIENCE and SCIENCE OF THE SOUL CENTER. She founded the JOY OF LEARNING CENTERS to help bring holistic health teachings and organic foods to low income communities, in settings where they can live and practice good health habits - including getting their hands in the earth and producing their own food.weniger sehen
