GMO EDUCATION CONTINUES ON THE PLANT YOUR DREAM BLOG
Stephanie Seneff is a senior research scientist at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She has discovered cutting edge links between autism and GMOs. Go here. I met her and planted dreams at the Environmental Health Symposium March, 6, 2016. Dr. Gilles-Eric Seralini and I also met for the first time. He pointed out that human reproduction capacity was in decline due to GMOs and other toxic influences.

The Enchanted Garden Mobile was a featured attraction outside the Kid's Pavilion for the 3 days of the 2016 National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa, at the Sonoma Fairgrounds. The main Enchanted Garden activity was the Plant Your Dream ritual.

The seeds we planted through the Convergence, along with other seed dreams planted the week before, at the National Heirloom Expo September 6-8, 2016, were watered with rainwater from San Diego. After we did this ritual, we received reports of thunderstorms for the following two days in San Diego!

PLANT YOUR DREAM AT THE CHI SUMMIT NOVEMBER 4, 2016
Shamini and I planted dreams together a few weeks before the #CHI Summit
I read the Sacred Seed Prayer to Dr. Shamini Jain, creator of the Consciousness and Healing Initiative(#CHI), a few weeks before her event November 4. As a result of her experience, we planted dreams together at my home, and she gave the seed packets to all of the 200+ attendees of the auspicious post-conference of the Academy for Integrative Health and Medicine annual conference (#AIHM16). I had an Enchanted Garden Installation, a few plants and seed dream post, at both events.
Many attendees planted dreams and enjoyed the experience.
Dr. Mimi Guarneri MD, who founded the Academy for Integrative Health and Medicine, and formerly of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine, adapted the Sacred Seed Prayer for use from the podium, at the #AIHM15 Conference.
NOVEMBER 19, 2016: MY BIRTHDAY SEED PLANTING
Serena Carver Noble and her husband John brought over their family of four kids to play in the garden at my house, on Nov 19, 2016. Nellie helped decorate a new Seed Dream pot and as she did so, John announced that he felt unexpected rain drops outside! It rained five times in the next two weeks, in drought-like San Diego.

SAN DIEGO'S PERMACULTURE ACTION NETWORK #STANDINGROCK EVENT:
OUR "PLANT YOUR DREAM" & CLOSING CEREMONY ACTIVITIES
These photos are from the closing ceremony of the San Diego Permaculture Action Day w Rising App 4 Standing Rock event December 2016 at Terra Madre Gardens in Escondido, California. A stand of ancient Khorasan wheat grown from KAMUT organic / non-GMO wheat are now growing there, for harvest in 2017.
In these photos little kids are having a ball playing outside a circle of ancient wheat. In the middle of the circle is a container of San Diego rainwater and a pot of Seed Dreams growing.
"PLANT YOUR DREAM" AT THE HILLCREST FARMERS' MARKET DECEMBER 11, 2016
This graphic was created around the time I initiated the Campaign to Grow a Healthier Pizza.
Please read these words:
WHAT IS MOTHER EARTH ASKING OF YOU NOW?
How more beautiful would the world be if ALL the heirloom seeds sitting on shelves in packages became the plants they could be?
How much more Soul would there be in the world if we allowed our inner Seed Dreams to come out of their ‘packages’ and grow the ‘plants’ they can be?
How much passion and life would we feel? How more peaceful and healthy would the world be?
Mother Earth says, “Plant Your Dream!” because your Soul is intended to be a fully-expressive heirloom seed in her cornucopia of earthly abundance. She wants you fully growing in the world now.
This montage of photos was generated automatically on Facebook. The woman in the upper right is Dr. Judith Larkin Reno, whose memorial was held the day I left San Diego on my journey to the National Heirloom Expo. I expressed that her soul was my companion on the journey northward. Jaccie Phillips is shown to the right of me.
Dave Kaiser, the "Gaby Hayes of Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company," is shown in the driver's seat of the Enchanted Garden Mobile, in this photo, which we use on the Plant Your Dream seed packets.
For more than 30 years, Leslie Goldman has planted dreams, on his own and with others, to "ground" The Enchanted Garden, a name he gives for our renewed Earth.
In 2015, Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company issued his “Plant Your Dream Seeds" in a packet that is freely given away to teach the importance of growing indigenous seeds as a way to reveal our own Sacred Seed Nature. Heirloom Seeds carry forward stories - and in growing them, we keep alive the story inherent in the seed.
Leslie travels from San Diego to Northern California each year in a 1968 VW van on a pilgrimage dubbed, "The Enchanted Garden Mobile’s Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds."
"How Fast Can a Dream Grow?” he asks. “As Fast as a Blade of Grass!”
His international network of friends who have joined the Enchanted Garden Club include Dr. Tieraona Low Dog, MD, director of the Interprofessional Fellowship in Integrative Health & Medicine, and Liz Lipski, author of the book, "Digestive Wellness."
Lipski wrote:
I met Dr. Liz Lipski at the Scripps Natural Supplement Conference 2015. We planted dreams. She joined The Enchanted Garden Club . She wrote:
‘Someone once told me that dreams were for children. Aren’t we all children? Leslie’s work connects people to envision fully,
to embrace what’s possible, and to walk forward in hope. He is inspiring and brings us back to what’s essential, and what is uniquely essential.
I would love to see him working in hospitals, schools and widely, to plant seeds of hope and dreams like Johnny Appleseed."
Bob Baker, writing in the Los Angeles Times Magazine, reflected upon Leslie’s social justice work:
“I’ve been waiting half my life to tell someone about Leslie Goldman. Always figured I’d wait for some desperate moment. Now it’s here.”
