n the late 1970s in Virginia, a woman named
Machaelle Small Wright
walked out into the woods
by her vegetable garden
and said, seemingly to no
one, “I want to do [here]
what they did in Findhorn.
I want to work with devas
and I want to work with
nature spirits. I invite all of
you to make yourselves
known to me. I am ready
to learn from you.”

teamwork instead of wilful
force or passive waiting.
In so doing, the problems
on the planet created
by imbalanced and ignorant work can be prevented or addressed. For
example, instead of trying
to manipulate DNA for a
given plant, a co-creative
scientist could work with
Nature to develop a new,
balanced devic pattern
that fits into the whole.
What resulted from this invitation was a learning experience that challenged
Machaelle’s understanding of form, of nature
and of co-creation. She
encapsulated this experience in her book “CoCreative Science: A Revolution in Science Providing
Real Solutions for Today’s
Health and Environment”.
Nature, in this context, is
not simply trees or rocks,
but all of form, whether it
is a flower or a bicycle tire
or a radio wave. As the
book expresses, “Nature
is the consciousness that
comprises all form on all
levels and dimensions.”
This means that everything around us is nature,
and has consciousness one that can be co-created with.
“Co-Creative
Science”
offers an opportunity for
everyone to experience
what Machaelle learned
from working with the
intelligence inherent in
nature: it is possible to
create a working partnership with nature that
emphasizes balance and
For many people, this will
already be more information than they want
to handle. “Co-Creative
Science” is aptly termed
“revolutionary”. But it is
vitally important. What
Machaelle learns about

listening to and respecting nature, through lessons that sometimes boggle the mind (let’s just
say that her vegetable
garden has not always
seemed to obey the
“rules” of time or space
in how it grows), is sorely
needed on the planet.
Machaelle details in her
book how surprised and
pleased Nature was when
she or others reached out
to it in a co-creative spirit
for the first time. We have
experienced similar responses when addressing
a deva for the first time in
co-creative work following Machaelle’s methods.
In taking up a less onesided relationship with nature, everyone benefits.
We invite you to read
this book, let it blow your
mind, and consider the
possibilities of a powerful
and humbling new cocreative relationship with
the world around you.
