“Terra Madre” represents the source of life, nourishment, and shelter. It is associated with fertility and growth: just like earth, which gives life to plants, the same way a mother gives nourishment and support, non-judgemental love and care. Mother’s love expresses comfort, safety and complete acceptance, an instinctive wisdom that goes beyond logic. Transformation and rebirth, like the cycle of nature (birth, death, rebirth), are linked to the possibility of psychic transformation.
