Try to imagine a mother, a traveler, a woman in the forest, a psychiatrist, a homeopath and a breeder in one person: here is Rosalba Cicerelli, generous, true, with no hair on her tongue, sensitive. Here is his interview for Cure-Naturali.it.
Before entering into the merits of the interview, would you like to tell us something about yourself?
I consider myself a woman who is no longer young, having fled from a Europe that was too narrow for me, but I found in Auroville (in India) adequate space to contain myself and express myself.
I found my roots in the forest, and to give a reason to live in the forest, I looked for an activity. But I also have a son and I thought of something in this perspective, so I chose the care of an animal that can give things without needing to be killed and that is easy to manage: the ...
Wait up! you forgot to tell us something about your cultural and professional background and where your holistic side comes from
I was in Italy for 25 years in different social contexts, from psychiatry, ending up as an occupational therapist in the last 10 years.
The holistic aspect happened for a personal experience, with a bad story with which I confronted myself at the age of 28 (precarcinomatous phase of the uterus) which led me to know an anthroposophical homeopath through which I opened the my doors to the holistic vision.
Clearly, thanks to a journey with her, I solved my problem and became a mother; to do this I threw myself into meditation. But being curious I discovered the use of my work tools even with ... chickens !
We are talking about your famous chicken coop ... what is different from the classic chicken coop?
In the holistic approach, in the management of the animals and in the logistics of the structures.
When I started I didn't know what I was going to face, so day after day I discovered, starting with the modest sum of 150 birds, that chickens are animals with a complex social structure; much smarter than anyone thinks and surprises me every day.
They are able to recognize us, form social groups in which they cuddle and support themselves, where they perform initiation rites where they all sing when a hen makes the first egg. Each social group refers to a rooster and each rooster refers to an alpha.
And how do you relate to them and how do you deal with them?
Trying to get into their own code made up of different body expressions and sounds, which I imitate. With regard to treatment, having a basic naturist education (naturopathy and Bach flowers ) today I manage their problems only with the use of homeopathic, correct nutrition and Bach flowers .
After the first big accident (normal in the new experiences) - an aviaria that made me lose the beauty of 150 heads out of 300 - calling the vet and understanding the cause of the deaths, I took the books and did research on various experiences, in especially those that are typical diseases, and I found a series of indications on how to treat Bach flowers .
When there is a non-standard vibration I put the appropriate flower in the water to recreate a harmony of vibration; in the case of diseases join the Bach flower to a homeopathic .
Don't vaccinate them because there are two homeopathic remedies that make up for it perfectly. I spend more for them than for me on food: right carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, fresh grass (including small insects, otherwise cannibalism), proteins. And they tell me what they need.
In fact, your happy, organic eggs are in great demand!
The eggs have excellent feedback as much as the rooster meat I have to select to maintain functional logistics within the group.
Does anyone want to learn? Have you thought about sharing your method?
I found many curious about the method. I'm recording everything in order to be able to offer a method that meets the concept of method in the future. Recording behaviors and remedies, symptoms, oddities that I note, to create an archive from which I then extrapolate a system of management of a holistic and biological chicken coop, without for example using the obligatory antibiotic in Eurpoa for each professional chicken coop.
As a former vegetarian, I have always believed that eating animal products means being willing to accept their emotions, which remain imprinted in the cells of the tissues that will then become food for our body.
Well aware of so much adrenaline driven by the fear of the perception of the death of all the animals that are slaughtered, I tried to dissolve this emotion in the chickens by creating an appropriate, comfortable and protected space, inside the forest where I live, to get animals from the happy life and to be able to eat happy eggs.
I believe this is the reason why the feedback that comes from the products I put on the market is so positive. I believe that a body that receives happy food feeds on happiness.
How can a person interested in learning your system contact you?
At this moment I welcome everyone, to whom I am willing to offer accommodation to learn and work with me in the chicken coop (as it was in the days of Fukuoka), I come to offer volunteer work here to me (Auroville, South India).
Given my recurrent visits to Italy, I generally soon get explanatory chats about my unconventional system. In this regard, the sponsors are more than welcome. Interested parties can contact me at:
